30 greatest NFL QBs of all time: Where does Patrick Mahomes rank now?

Nobody tell Aaron this is where he ended up on this list. Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback. During the pinnacle of quarterback play, a time when QBs often broke records for statistical performances, Rodgers was often considered a top-three option. He was a four-time league MVP, a mark only Peyton Manning beat. Rodgers was considered the best the most times during a period of thriving for the position.

So, how is he ranked 13th? His stats are kind of odd. He’s led the league in touchdowns twice, but he’s never led the league in yards. He’s only led the league in completion percentage once. He rarely throws interceptions (although last year was the first time in 12 seasons he had double-digit picks). Rodgers is one of the greats, no doubt, but there’s something about his game that just doesn’t get his team over the top.

The Packers are just 12-10 in the playoffs with Rodgers under center. He’s lost four NFC Championship Games in a row and hasn’t even been to the Super Bowl since he won his lone championship during the 2010-11 season.

Rogers is ninth all-time in yards and fifth in total passing touchdowns for his career. He was very good at many aspects of the game. Did you know he had one fewer rushing touchdowns than Michael Vick? This is a special, special player, but it’s hard to put him ahead of the top 12 right now. If he finds a way to produce playoff success with the Jets, similar to what Brady did in Tampa Bay, he will easily make the top 10 and likely higher. For now, this is where he stands.
