Tom Brady Feels Aaron Rodgers Is the 'Greatest Passer' in NFL History

There’s no denying that Aaron Rodgers has established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play football. It’s debatable whether Rodgers is the best shot caller of all time, but some of his qualities definitely make him stand out from most.

One individual who had firsthand experience of Rodgers’ prowess is Tom Brady. These two played out several nail-biters, producing several memorable highlight reels.

Despite that, most would argue Rodgers achieved far too little in his twenty-year career. While Brady went on to lift seven Lombardi trophies, Rodgers only ever managed one back in 2011.

That being said, Brady believes that the 2011 Aaron Rodgers was arguably the best passer he had ever seen.

[Aaron has] won a Super Bowl and many championship games. He’s a winner, and I think what I’ve always appreciated about him, what everybody does, is his ability to throw a football and pass it.

Tom Brady said during an interview with PFF’s Chris Collinsworth

The retired Patriot acknowledged that Rodgers possessed the best arm talent.

Aaron, in his prime, to me is the greatest passer of the football the league [has] ever seen. He could get the ball from point A to B faster and more accurately than any player, I think, in the history of the NFL.

Even after hanging up his boots, Brady’s words carry a lot of weight, and there are valid reasons to accept his hypothesis about Rodgers. For those who don’t remember, let’s jog their memory about Rodgers’ numbers during his Super Bowl-winning campaign for the Green Bay Packers.

Aaron Rodgers threw 343 completions (68.3% completion) for 4643 yards (9.2 yards per throw), 45 touchdowns, only 9 interceptions (1.2 TD/INT ratio), and a passer rating of 122.5 (an NFL record).

Rodgers’ two-year layover at the New York Jets went historically bad. On his first outing for the Gang Green, the ten-time Pro Bowler tore his ACL and sat out the entire season.
