Aaron Rogers is simply taking his game to another level. He's putting himself right up there with Brady and Manning.

Just goes to show you that bringing in a bunch of big name wr's doesn't = a SB. And the two guys that Balt. got let them down yesterday. Where was Boldin? And TJ cried all season about not getting the ball, even though he knew he was going to be the #3 and he flat out drops the most important ball of his life.

Gotta give Green bay's front office and coaching staff some props. They've had a ton of injuries yet they're still rolling along.

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.

Most likely, We would have destroyed his career and traded him by now because we would not have given him the time or the players he would have needed to become the QB that he has become for GB.

For the sake of the NFL, I'm glad we didn't get him back then.

Hopefully DS has learned from his mistakes and the Skins are finally ready to put all the pieces together the right way. Then we can groom a young QB like Rogers into a franchise QB for the Skins.

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.

Again that's not saying much

Flacco is a pretty good QB, just played a slighty better team and his WRs let him down in crucial moments. Baltimore's D in the second half didn't help either. Don't get it why you continue to sound like it was all his fault. He is def not an elite QB but I wouldn't necessarily call him just average.

[JoeRedskin]

Flacco strikes me as a guy who will play for a long time. On occasion, when the stars align, he will be have a great game. On the whole, however, he will consistenly be an above average QB who will go as far as the team around him let's him. He is just not going to carry a team for more than a game or two.

[Ruhskins]

I think right now the only QBs that will carry their teams are Brady, Manning, Brees, and Rodgers. Maybe Rivers getting close to that level.

Sidenote:
Boy the Bears got lucky having to play the lesser of the wildcard teams.

The Saints were probably thinking the same thing last week. Still gotta go out and beat your opponent on the field.

GB will beat Chi in a nail biter next week.
