From the outside, Aaron Rodgers is a hard guy not to root for.
His quiet demeanor and consistent, solid play (his overall career QB Rating of 106.0 leads all NFL QB’s all-time currently) are things that make him endearing to NFL writers who cover him. He’s a guy who always tends to say the right things and he’s also one of the NFL’s classiest players. With all of this in mind, that’s probably why, when it comes to putting a list of top players together, the media favors a younger Rodgers (he’s just 31) over Tom Brady in choosing a player who right now seemingly has a longer shelf-life and on paper might be the more popular choice.
