That's why the media needs to stop annointing these QB's as "elite" QB's, until they start proving themselves in the post season. I don't think Atlanta has won a playoff game since Vick left. I beleive Flacco is now 1-4 in the playoffs, and Rivers is like 1-4.

Flacco actually has a winning record in the playoffs he is 4-3 and all games on the road. It is impossible for a third year player to have four losses.

Flacco is an avg QB at best, he will never carry a team

I'd still take him over anyone we have in a heartbeat.

Refs blew this game IMO

Rodgers is putting on a clinic tonight

[redskins5044]

Rodgers is the real deal, but has nothing on Sexy Rexy lol.

I've been as critical of Rodgers as anyone, but he's the guy who got hurt the most by the completely irrational Vick hysteria. Didn't even get named to the pro bowl, was pretty clearly the best QB in the NFC this season.

Falcons laying an egg. I'm rejoicing.

What makes Rodgers even better is he doesn't need a run game

I would take Rodgers TODAY over every other QB not named Brady. I'm amazed that he was selected #24 overall, one spot ahead of Jason Campbell. What might have been had he fallen to us???

He would have been interesting in the Saunders scheme, but when you think that the Packers had to offer him three seasons of sitting behind Favre, plus two seasons as a starter as a good but flawed offense that couldn't bunch the wins together, it's VERY hard to imagine that even if the Redskins had taken Rodgers in 2005, he would have still been on the team in 2010.

You have to consider that even as recent as the 2008 draft, the Green Bay Packers were very divided on whether Rodgers had any value to them, which says something about his play in practice as well as his preseason sample. It's not THAT surprising that the Packers showed enough patience with their QB and head coach to reach the point that Rodgers and McCarthy have reached together. Had the Redskins drafted Rodgers done the same, it would have been the first time since the merger that they had reached this point.

In other words, our front office was simply not good enough to develop Rodgers into a top level QB. I think the one we have now -- flawed as it is -- probably could take the next Aaron Rodgers and make him a very good quarterback.
