Aaron Rodgers Is Lapping The Field

Aaron Rodgers - QB Green Bay Packers


Quarterback Ratings as of November 12, 2011
  1. Aaron Rodgers 129.1
  2. Drew Brees 100.6
  3. Tom Brady 100.0
Going into this weekend, Aaron Rodgers had a quarterback rating that is 3.6 standard deviations above the mean in the NFL. This would be like having an IQ of about 154. Drew Brees is second coming in at 1.3 standard deviations above the mean, followed by Tom Brady at 1.2 standard deviations above the mean. The fact that Rodgers is at least 2.3 standard deviations above everyone else is statistically unbelievable. Rodgers has lapped everyone at least once and in many cases several times. At the half way point of the season, the MVP race is not even close.

Rodgers and Favre

During the Green Bay - San Diego game today, I heard an interesting comparison between Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. Green Bay receiver Donald Driver, in his 13th season, has played with Favre and Rodgers. Driver appreciates how Rodgers does not put his receivers in situations that can get them hurt. Rodgers is extremely accurate and he rarely forces passes into dangerous areas. Favre, the ultimate gunslinger, was more apt to put receivers in a compromising situation by putting the ball in positions that required receivers to have to go and get it. Driver's career has been extended with Rodgers at quarterback.

Favre and Rodgers
As I have said before, I loved Brett Favre as the Packers' quarterback. But Aaron Rodgers is an amazing quarterback. At this point in the NFL season with Green Bay 8-0, Aaron Rodgers is running away with the MVP award.
