![]() ![]() Granted this is a rating that tells me that Neil O’Donnell was better than Bart Starr but I digress. If you value passer rating as the measure by which to grade QBs (I don’t but you certainly could) Rodgers is 9.4% percent better than all of the other quarterbacks to ever quarterback. Whatever you want to say about the “new” NFL and how its rules promote passing and inflate the statistics of quarterbacks but Rodgers is the all time leader in passer rating by 9.4%. His level of play really should require us to stop and smell the roses. It’s unwise to continue to take Rodgers for granted. “Holy sh*t, have you seen this Rodgers guy?!” is just too easy. Those are are the topics to research, to analyze, to expand upon. It’s much easier to write about the rapid development of Damarious Randall, BJ Raji’s resurgence or how the offensive tackles are struggling. It’s hard to expand on: “Aaron Rodgers is awesome, right?”. I understand why it’s more interesting to write about the rest of the team. He has thrown for 45 TDs and 5400 yards at Lambeau since that play happened. Ke$ha has since become Kesha and is suing Sony Records to try and get her career back, or something. “Die Young” by Ke$ha was the #1 song in the country. Packers beat writer movie#The first Hobbit movie came out that week. The last time Aaron Rodgers threw an interception at home was (on a double-pass trick play) was on December 2nd, 2012. ![]() Smith and Skip Bayless yell about Rodgers all the time. ![]() Sports Illustrated featured Rodgers on the cover and Stephen A. Sure the national guys are talking about it. While it’s unlikely that the 2015 season actually plays out like that, it would be not only Rodgers greatest season, but the best season from a QB ever. Rodgers is on pace to eclipse 4,100 yards and throw for 53 TDs against 0 interceptions. You can’t discuss the key to any game in reality, because Rodgers is the key. In fact, Rodgers is often disqualified from radio and podcast conversations because he is so excellent. Packers Twitter doesn’t discuss QB1 in great excess. His iconic status aside, McGinn is on the outside looking in at Lambeau Field.As I watched Aaron Rodgers dismantle the Kansas City Chiefs defense last night I thought to myself, “Man, it’s been a long time since I wrote anything about Rodgers.” Then I looked around at my favorite Packer media outlets and realized no one has really written much about Rodgers recently either. Packers beat writer pro#He has received the prestigious Dick McCann Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Packers president Mark Murphy has called McGinn “ an icon.” It’s surprising that McGinn, even if his website is currently small without much readership, wouldn’t get credentialed. Others credential websites, even small websites without much readership. Some generally credential only traditional media like newspapers, magazines and television stations. We have a staff - although none of us are credentialed.”ĭifferent teams have different approaches to credentialing. In fact, I’m not attending games because the Packers did not credential our website. “I’m pretty much doing the same I would,” McGinn told the Locked On Packers Podcast. That means he covers the games by watching on television, rather than sitting in the press box and talking to players in the locker room afterward. McGinn, who left the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this year and launched his own site,, is not being credentialed by the Packers this season. Bob McGinn is in his 39th year covering the Packers, but this year is different: He’s not welcome in the press box. ![]()
