Rodgers is excellent. Most sensible people would admit that. Sure, he has a few boxes to tick in terms of experience but he's already in the upper echelon.

Obviously he is nowhere near as good as Manning or Brady but that's hardly a criticism.

Might well turn out to be the most clutch passer ever. He just hasn't done it "yet". I'm 100% sure he will though. It's been hard for him this year.

I'm not going to talk about Rodgers anymore*, it's been done to death and we all have differing opinions.

I think he is at least as good as Brady/Manning. It just annoys me that he doesn't get the credit he deserves. Rivers was widely regarded as MVP candidate until a few weeks back despite being on a poor team. Rodgers has led a team with a hard schedule to the play-offs despite crippling injuries and has maintained his excellent stats yet isn't in the conversation. Equally his stats/performances are as good as the NFC starting pro-bowl QB yet he is snubbed.

This game is as important to get Rodgers his first play-off win as it is advancing.

*I reserve the right to make some posts about how he is brilliant if we win @ Philly.

The Dolphins have decided to keep Sparano

Translation:- Even $8 million wasn't enought to get Harbaugh because he is a money grabbing barsteward and someone has offered him more

If I was Sparano I would be pretty annoyed to be honest

The early indication was that he was angling for a move to his alma mater Michigan. They have fired Rich Rodriguez.

Now I see that the Broncos, 49ers and Dolphins have got into the mix. The Broncos have just ruled themselves out, probably balking at paying that amount for someone with no NFL head coaching experience. Rumour is Harbaugh wants at least the same deal that Pete Carroll got with the Seahawks ($6.5m) per year.

Stanford have matched the 49ers initial offer of $4.5m.

I love A-Rod I hope GB go to the SB and win me a fortune But: He isnt as good as those 2 yet, but he has done an amazing job in the last 2 years. Hopefully these doubts will be gone after a play off run that I hope gets out of Philly.

Conroy, I agree with lots you say but come on, take the cheesy specs off! Rodgers is in the group well below Manning and Brady along with Brees, Rivers and the like.

Rivers was in the MVP debate because of some record setting numbers with 3rd 4th and 5th string receivers.
