Not saying Daniels didn’t have a monster game with 1.5 sacks and a tackle for loss, but in no way did his performance have the same impact on the outcome of the game than Rodgers’ did. Rodgers completed 24 of 35 passes for 333 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions in Green Bay’s 38-28 win.

But not everybody was impressed.
PFF also harshly graded Rodgers for a play on which he fumbled in the second quarter, as well as a third-quarter pass that should have been intercepted but wasn’t.
Is Aaron Rodgers the kind of transcendent athlete that deserves comparison to one of the greatest athletes of all time, regardless of sport?
But one can’t deny how talented Rodgers is. “Consider it a compliment to the New England system that it doesn’t put Brady in a situation where he has to constantly make breathtaking throws”. Number one: He brings the mobility that – you and I both know – Tom just does not have in terms of being able to use his legs.
In his last 16 home games – essentially the equivalent of a full season – Rodgers’ numbers are even more insane. But I don’t have my own analytical website, so you’ll have to take that opinion for what it’s worth.
With the rush bearing down on him from all angles against a Packers offensive line that is missing starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga, Rodgers would simply flick his hips and subtly move his feet and find himself in newly-minted space to get a throw off with his lightning-quick release.

It’s tough to argue with Rodgers’ dominance this season.
