Assessing how Bill Belichick would’ve coached Aaron Rodgers | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[pauldelray]

A passive-agressive personality type is never considered to be a leader. Incapable of being honest about themselves. Talent only goes so far. Belichick admired the talent and ignored the player. Addition by subtraction is sometimes required for being a great coach.

THE PACKERS LET AARON DOWN?!? Aaron consistently choking in NFC championships is what COST the packers multiple superbowls

[citAdizeroVapor]

Those are not the glasses I’d picture Mike wearing 😂

[mudgefranklin]

We’re a few segments away from sims saying he could’ve won 6 championships on the patriots

The “simple” offense you refer to was due to Rodgers. He changed plays, and did whatever he wanted. It got much worse as he got older. No one could tell him what to do. He was all about stats and not throwing interceptions. And, look at his performance in the playoffs. Epic choking the majority of the time. Yes, he is a “Delicate Genius, ” and not a winner. It’s all about him. The Packers did enough to win more Super Bowls. Rodgers held them back.

[jtmmmm]

Has this Florio guy got something against Rodgers?

[sharonreel]

Not sure that Belichick would have done a better job transitioning ZW and SD to the NFL. Look at Mac Jones!

[stephendwane]

Would Aaron have taken the pay Brady took all those years? I doubt, more talented physically but as an overall player all inclusive, Brady is on diff level

[InterimHCEnergy]

The real question is if Rodgers had played for a coach like Andy Reid. There would have been a dynasty before the Chiefs and a team good enough to routinely beat the Pats.

[snuffles]

This is wild 😂 I love that he says I’m not saying Marino is 2X better than Montana I’m just saying he’s not 4X worse than him after he says Rodgers would have won nearly 2X the superbowls than Brady. I’m not surprised Sims has always had asinine opinions on QB’s but this is crazy. Brady is the best clutch player ever and the best leader ever, Rodgers is the worst at both for a franchise QB maybe ever.

[rev.tlazer]

Did the packers fail Rodger’s or did Rodger’s fail the packers? He didn’t play great in NFC championships…

[REE_III]

The mistake often made is ignoring how leadership makes a significant difference in the NFL. ARod is not that! Chris knows "elite" talent alone would not yield championships. Also regarding the Pats, the sacrifice TB12 made inspired men to come to NE and play their best. ARod would not have done that.

Bill was a great coach, the greatest of all time. However, he gets more credit than he deserves. Bill had some great front office types. Probably the best OL coach of all time in Dante Scarnecchia. Without great OL play there is no Tom Brady! Bill was great, but he had a lot of help.

Rodgers is a great player, I think he doesn't have the clutch factor of a Brady or Mahomes. He's great and passes are hightlight reels but when the chips are down and need a big play, I just don't see it from him as I do from Brady or Mahomes. As long as he's played, he doesn't have a lot of come from behind wins. You know if Brady or Mahomes have a chance you win a game, more times than not, they will make the play. AR doesn't inspire that confidence.

[GODISGREAT_]

Aaron Rodgers is the most unappreciated, disrespected, player in NFL history. I don't think people understand how great he IS....

[dannyzp]

Even when Rodgers plays terribly, loses games, is a jerk, and doesn't produce on the field, Chris is still nicer to him than he is to Brady. I don't know what he has against Brady. FYI Brady has won a playoff game more recently than Rodgers and he has been retired for a year. But let's criticize Brady and say Rodgers would have won 10 Super Bowls in New England. I LOVE Chris, but his Brady takes are the fucking worst. Sorry dude...

[leedavis]

Rodgers bottled the big games. Brady didn’t. Brady made it about the team Rodgers made it about him.

[williamhermann]

Bill Belichick wouldve benched Rodgers and traded him a decade ago.

[nealfeatheringill]

Why do they word it thrower of the football?

[SuperJohn]

Rodgers would have got Belichick fired within 5 years
