2022 Pre-Season Ranlk #2, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #2, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #3.
We have not been doing this for long (four years) but we have a new man on the top of the mountain with the retirement of Tom Brady, but the position is no different. Now a New York Jet, Aaron Rodgers ascends to #1, and has become a more polarizing figure as the year's go by. There is no doubt that Rodgers has the statistics and the accolades to be a first ballot entrant into Canton, but can he do what Brady did by leading a second franchise to a Super Bowl win? Rodgers' best years are likely behind him, but the four-time MVP might not be done adding to the trophy case, as we can't forget that two of those MVPs occureed in 2020 and 2021. Since we consider him already a Hall of Famer, statistically, we are looking to see how many more rungs on all-time lists. Going into the season, he needs only 3 in Approximate Value to overtake Fran Tarkenton for sixth, and is 33 Touchdown Passes away from Brett Favre for fourth. In regards to Passing Yards, if he throws for close to 4,400 Yards, Rodgers passes Dan Marino, Matt Ryan and Phillip Rivers. A huge year (5,034 PY or more) gets him over Ben Roethlisberger for sixth overtime.
