I love the Packers, but Clay Matthews being #27 on the list for last season is a joke.

Lets see Aaron Rodgers put up Favre numbers playing against defenses with the rules of the 90′s. Pretty doubtful.

Not to mention with kick off’s being errelavant now there must have been a record for possessions starting at the 20, thus leading to probably all the top 5 quarterbacks in passing yards adding on an additional 500-750 yards.

Favre never had that advantage either.

Aaron Rodgers voted NFL’s best player by his fellow NFL players! Whatever happened to all those people who were so critcal of Ted Thompson when he let a 36 year old Brett Favre leave in favor of a young Aaron Rodgers?

They typify the Packer fanbase by having selective short-term AND long-term memories. But hey whatever right? They can do what they want so long as they own a share in a professional NFL team (sarcasm).

Not on the list AT ALL? Dude is gonna have a monster 2012 all slim and fit playing in a modern defense. Just watch.

Brady should have been #2 at worst
———————————————————-
Im a huge Brady fan and have tremendous respect for what he has done in this league. But,
you can’t ignore the fact that he had the easiest road to the SB in NFL history. he went 13-3 during the season without ever beating a team that finished over .500. the only 2 teams that ended up with a winning record were the Steelers and the giants, and guess what he lost both those games.
then he plays and beats the broncos in the divisional round who were also 8-8 and the Ravens in the AFC championship game which ends up as his only win over a winning team in the entire season. I bet you that has probably never happened before in the history of this game. beat one good team and go to the SB. they were jus never really tested the entire season.

as far as Eli at #31, i would take him over evryone ahead of him except for Rodgers because he is a proven winner and has the heart of a champion.

My question is … When they asked each player who was the best player in both leagues in 2012 … Did they have a list to choose from or were they asked to pick one guy? … or did they just start rattling off their favorite players… ?

Lists in general are stupid unless it is clear what the criteria is… for example … How to you compare a quarterback to a nose tackle or a safety to a running back???

Anyone…??

So for the person who says they should look at the whole picture, make sure your picture is also complete.

Just thought I’d let you know that one and done means losing the first playoff game you play. Saints beat the Lions 45-28 in the wildcard round….

The only exception was the nationally televised game against ATL that everybody saw when he broke the record.

He’ll get knocked out before he hits his prime. Too many smash mouth pass rushing defenses in the NFC Central.

Best player LAST SEASON

Can we PLEASE make that distinction to the list. And considering he was voted MVP it’s not remotely surprising most players threw his name out at the top

Yeah, it is shocking to see the QB with the highest career passer rating in league history and the highest passer rating in the post season at #1.

Leadership by example, skilled, greatful & humble, shares credit at all times. How refreshing!

I was at his first start at Lambeau in 2008 inter-squad scrimmage, all our fans, as he was booed can you believe that? Honestly, I did not like the pick in 2004, aka fan vs. G.M. I was wrong.
Lucky, but nice when an organization is run like a business with rational decisions opposed to owner’s and their emotional/irrational decisions. Insert Jerry Jones/Daniel Snyder, etc.

Thank you Green Bay Packer organization!
