Yes it is Packer/Patriot week with 2 of the best QBs on the field. It is sad this will be only the second time. I have to be at this game and will be flying on on Saturday.

It appears Brady gets inspiration from Rodgers. Who are people that inspire you?

Rodgers inspires me - Brady

d0cae3776486893cf5151c3b37dac5b0


Tom Brady revealed he draws inspiration from Aaron Rodgers as he refused to enter into the debate about which quarterback is better.

The two stars will go head to head on Sunday in a rare matchup between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers.

And three-time NFL MVP Brady told WEEI on Tuesday that he takes note of Rodgers' performances and uses them as motivation to improve his own game.

"I think it's inspiring [to watch Rodgers]," Brady said. "Even for me, I watch his game and it makes me want to get out there and practice and improve, because I think he's so phenomenal with how he manages himself in the pocket.

"His ability to throw the football is unlike anyone in probably the history of the league. It's pretty awesome to watch."

But as conversation turned to a comparison between the two, Brady replied: "I think it's actually a hypothetical question that is just truly impossible to answer. It's great to debate it and those types of things.

"I don't think about, 'Oh, was this guy better than this guy or this guy?' I guess that's because I'm an athlete and I realise it's a lot of teamwork, it's a lot of factors that go into helping your team win.

"Good quarterbacks, I think, allow teams to build systems around them and bring out their skill set.

"I think it's very flattering when a team chooses you and says, 'Look, we want to move forward with you and we're going to get receivers to complement your skills - tight ends and backs and [offensive] lines.'

"If they're not doing that, it probably means the team doesn't have a lot of trust in you."

Oh boy! Here we go again. Chicken or egg conundrum. Have at it and get your popcorn ready.

"Aaron Rodgers' ability to keep him homosexuality hidden from the public is truly amazing. I would have come out years ago if I didn't have my underage male children to make out with when I start getting the urge for guy to guy mouth contact."

Also props to anyone who noticed the subtle or not so subtle “same numbers” comment.

Not sure why people haven't caught onto Rodgers yet; he's "roomates" with a guy with long blonde hair for chrissakes, and even puts it in his commercials.

This should have been the Super Bowl like 2-3 different times (you could certainly make the argument). Quite frankly it's bull shit we have been and likely will always be robbed of that.

I think with both of their ages and Green Bay unable to field a truly good team around Rodgers right now... well... The ship hasn't sailed. However, we missed a few very good chances and every year that goes by it becomes unlikely.

Brady is a smart man! Rodgers is being held back by the Packers and McCarthy! If he was in the New England system he would put up 7000 yards a season. I can see why he is inspired!

Tom Brady told a coach that Aaron Rodgers would throw for 7,000 yards with Patriots

“He’d throw for 7,000 yards every year,” Brady said “in a conversation with an NFL coach within the past few seasons,” via O’Connor. “He’s so much more talented than me.”

AR has a better arm is more accurate IMO. TB Is smarter a better leader and is more likely to beat you pre-snap IMO. The New England system is based on TBs skill sets it may not work for AR.
