Update of 07Brady/11Rodgers thru week 11

by Nels Winkler on Nov 24, 2011 6:19 PM CST

So someone suggested to me to continue this post and update it each week, so I will. In case you missed the previous one, I was doing a comparison of Rodgers and Brady during their perfect season runs to see who was better. I'll do it until/if the Packers are breaten. In my rating, I use the normal calculator for QB Rating, but I include rushes as completed passes and rushing yards as passing yards. I also include TDs, fumbles, and subtract sack yardage.

So, through week 11 of undefeated seasons, here you go. Who would you prefer?

306 completions (inc 22 rushes)

414 Attempts (inc 22 rushes)

3423 Yards (Passing + Rushing - Sack Yardage)

41 Total TDs

7 Total Turnovers

124.09 My total QB Rating

309 Completions (inc 49 rushes)

411 Attempts (inc 49 rushes)

3475 Yards

35 Total TDs

4 Total Turnovers

124.37 My Total QB Rating

It really is splitting hairs right now. To pick one over the other is hard to say. Becuase there is only a .26 difference between the two, I neglected to write the name down. For your own reference, the top one is Tom Brady in 07, and the bottom is Rodgers today.

I'd never take anyone over our guy personally. He is the right hand of Vince Lombardi. In Aaron I trust.

Expect updates for each week we win.

Not too hard to figure...

That as the weather gets worse the QB rating falls… Same is likely to happens to Rodgers. I hope not but its probably likely.

You've been Stroh'd™!!!

Not necessarily. I posted this over at CSC where the same question came up..

Rodgers stats for the Dec and Jan games last year:

Attempts: 95
Completions: 65
TD: 8
Int: 1
Rating: 123.6

I have excluded the games at Detroit because they were dome games and he did not play at NE.

The cold weather isn't going to help Rodgers

Their next five games will all be bad weather games. It’s still weird how similar their seasons are.

That's exactly what I was going to say

It’s a shame weather will play a part in slowing down a great season. Who knows though… maybe he steps it up to another freakish level.

who knows, he played his best football last season at the end of the year

had one of his best career games (maybe the best) against the Giants at Lambeau in December

football does not build character, it reveals character.

Sorry, just read the bottom.

they were so close that I didn't put the names in there.

essentially they’re the same, with brady getting more tds and rodgers protecting the ball better.

by Nels Winkler on Nov 24, 2011 10:52 PM CST up reply actions

That was eerily similar...

hopefully the Packers season does not prove to be similar to the Giants though

If I remember right ...

The Patriots padded the stats by running up scores. Last week is an example, They were winning 27-3 against KC with less than two minutes left in the game. And Brady didn’t take a knee, but kept passing and then they ran it in from 4-yards to make it 34-3.

I think, in 2007, that Brady threw for some TDs in the last few minutes when they were winning by a rout just to add to his total.

They cost me a spot in the fantasy playoffs that year.

They had a 4th-and-1 from their opponents 15, and a 2 score lead with about 2 minutes left in the game. Instead of kicking with Gostkowski, they passed for a TD. I lost by 1 point because of the XP, instead of winning by 1 with a FG.

Packers? Working on a dynasty.
Blackhawks? Taking care of business as usual.

Brewers, Badgers? THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
