"As the finished product, Aaron Rodgers has played quarterback better than anyone else in the National Football League for the last year and a half.

Those who have watched Rodgers on a regular basis simply have grown accustomed to a standard of excellence that is at the forefront of the Green Bay Packers' drive to a second straight championship.

Pro football is all about the quarterback, and the Packers are all about Rodgers.

At 28, Rodgers is at the peak of his physical powers. He is the complete quarterback. He has no discernible weakness.

For Rodgers to be in this place, on the cusp of becoming the NFL's most valuable player, when it is remembered where he was earlier in his career is almost unfathomable."
