Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?

Because those guys are tall drinks of water who could throw the ball, but they were not supreme athletes.

Aaron Rodgers is quick twitch, as much an athlete as we've ever seen at that position, alongside John Elway, right?

I got it.

I got to tell you, I don't agree.

Why?

What does he lack other than height compared to John Elway, Aaron Rodgers?

I think that's a fair assessment.

I just said that, and let me tell you something.

Listen, John Elway is one of the all-time specimens that ever played quarterback ever.

Aaron Rodgers, I said this in October of 2010, before he beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, he will retire as the greatest, most gifted quarterback we've ever seen.

I stand by that now.

I was wrong that he will be remembered as the greatest quarterback of all time, because what you're getting at, Mike Ryan, is that he didn't win enough times in January to achieve that banner.

Nevertheless...

I stand by what I said 15-some years ago, which is he is the most gifted athlete, the most gifted quarterback of all time.

Well, I think Aaron Rodgers, if you're trying to evaluate the quality of the on-field stuff, he has two of, I'm subjective as it is, he has two of the five greatest single seasons that a quarterback's ever had.

And yeah, I mean, what it comes down to is this is, what you're getting at ultimately, we're talking all around it, is it's the ring count.

I know people don't want to apply the ring count here.

If he had one or let's say two more, I think we would be talking about Aaron Rodgers as the great

No matter how many Tom Brady did win, the difference is the funny paradox of Aaron Rodgers at 43 is he is still the name brand.
