(He is my personal favorite and was ridiculously good of course but hes not ever talked as The GOAT).
Rodgers is good, he is not the best ever by a longshot. So that's what irritates me personally about the guy.
I have heard some media guys say that Rodgers is the best QB they've ever seen, but that's from a talent perspective. Brady can only dream of doing some of the things Rodgers could do, so I understand why some people say that. But thats not saying hes the GOAT.
And QBs like Brady and Montana, although both are great and most likely would've still had good careers, I dont think either of them win that many SBs without being in the right place at the right time. Put Montana on those Broncos teams and hes not winning 4 SBs. Same with Brady, put him on the Packers and he's not getting 6. While Rodgers and Elway could've easily won more SBs than they did in their career have they been on the 49ers or Pats.
But even though those QBs might have been more talented, theres a lot of intangibles that just can't be measured that Brady and Montana have. So who knows what would've been.
