    For me,he was a little better that I expected because the way he has finished the season...He was bad in the middle of the season but at the end,he was very good in 4 of the last 5 games and he was the biggest reason of our win vs ravens twice and lions

    Middle of the season,it was brutal but in the most important time,in december he has been very good,so I gave him a 7.5 overall

    Too much,too low?

    Except for that three game skid where he looked awful, hes played like I thought he would. I think hes done a good job overall all things considered.

    He still makes some head scratching decisions like locking in on MVS during the Browns game but I like what he’s brought to the table for the most part.

    When the offensive line improved the last third of the season, his play got much better.

    Had he had a second receiver that could ball, things would have been better. I would bring him back next year and get him a legit 1 receiver.

    I would say he has been about what I'd expect most 41-42 year old QB's to look like

    I would say 7 to 7.5 . He had his moments where he looked like he was 32 and then other times he looked like he was 50 . I would say he was kind of what I expected. The only complaint I have about Rodgers is how he cusses out receivers for missed balls or bad routes but who chews him out for some sh@tty ass throws he made throughout the season.

    The physical limitations have shown but every now and then the past slips in (like that dime to Thielen in the RATBIRDS game). The best thing he brings is the mental game. My old coach used to say greatness is when opportunity meets preparation, this epitomizes what Rodgers has brought to the Steelers. He is a football mind junkie, between the hand signals, the voice cadence and the ab-libbing which makes him dangerous.

    If this Team stays healthy and gets one or two home games in the playoffs they could be a very formidable opponent. The Steelers base is hungry for recent success, the players themselves are tired of not meeting the expectations of “the Standard”. As far as Rodgers grade for regular season I give him a 10 on preparation and a 6.5 on play so I’d a say an 8 conservatively.

    Given the overall WR options he has had I would say he is well above my expectations.

    I’d say 10-7

    Because that is what he was

    You are what your record says you are

    10/17=0.588

    About what I expect, like almost any starter that is still playing this late in his career. Mind is usually there, but the body isn't willing to take the hits. Same thing with Ben's last two years. Lots more to playing Qb than athletic side,but the unwillingness to take a hit is the worst part about getting old. That's why I laughed at all the people that thought P. Rivers would suck when he came back. Outside of the withstanding to take a hit, the Qbs mind is his best weapon, and Rodgers has shown this, well most of the time. Hopefully this is a playoff game , and he will be more willing to put his body on the line.

    7.5. He's had a few stinkers, but he's heating up at the right time of the season. I didn't think he would make it half the season behind that line, but played 16/17 games. The line is playing so much better. He's had two weeks to introduce himself to other receivers, not named DK. I can really see this offense open up a bit with DK back now

    I think the team needs that. They’ve never had a guy hold them accountable during the field of battle. I think it makes them sharper.

    He also seems to know who needs it and who doesnt. He absolutely took the blame for a wrong route by Roman.

    Move on to who Stafford signed a new deal with the Rams last offseason.

    At 42 i thought age would catch up to him and we’d see a dropoff. A little slump mid way but he fought through it and recovered well enough. Overall better than expected 7.5.

    Overall I would say he has shown incredible leadership. I never bought into that ARod being a bad teammate crap ... He actually is a good leader and the fellas seem to enjoy playing with him and spending time as a unit off the field.

    AR has been a solid 8 as far as I am concerned. He is what I thought he would be.

    He shows flashes of his MVP days, and then shows flashes of a 42 year old trying to hang on to his glory days.

    He won 10 of his 16 starts with 24 TD's and 7 picks. At 42 years old I give him a solid B.

    Definately worse if you trust PFF. :lolol:

    If you buy the opinions of the "WE KNOW BETTER THAN WHAT YOUR EYES TELL YOU," GENIUSES AT PFF-
    Rodgers is the worst designated starting QB of the post Ben era per their scientific system that us common folk are too dumb to comprehend. :D

    He was 10-6, remember Mason got the start in the loss to the Bears.

    I was pretty sure he would get hurt and miss at least a handful of games this year. He only missed one which is a kudos to him. I would give him a 7 this year which is better than my expectation.
