You and I both have probably watched more Aaron Rodgers games than some players on these teams over that time span. To that end, the NFL Hot 100 is no more legitimate than the FBS coaches poll, in which many college football coaches have openly admitted they don't watch teams and just read box scores. Hell, Steve Spurrier used to vote for Duke every season in the poll because he could. What I'm arguing here is that proximity doesn't necessarily equate to expertise. If you're going to make an argument for Brady being better than Rodgers, you're going to have to bring something stronger.

We've already gone over the numerous records, cumulative and single game, that he holds, in both regular and postseason. We know about the numerous game winning drives he has. We know about the 5 rings and 4 SB MVPs. You've got most analysts, experts, current players, former players, who say he's the best. At some point you have to stop being salty, wake up, and face reality.
