Aaron Rodgers as System QB Is the Most Asinine Debate of Entire 2011 NFL Season

Are people actually questioning Aaron Rodgers after what might have been the single best season by a quarterback in NFL history? Apparently they are, and the debate about his abilities is the most ridiculous thing I've heard all year. 

All Rodgers did this season was lead the Packers to an NFL-best record of 15-1. In 15 games, he completed 343 of 502 passes (68.3 percent) for 4,643 yards, with 45 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

He broke the NFL's single-season passer rating record, and his mark of 122.5 was a ridiculous 11.9 points higher than the second-place quarterback (Drew Brees, 110.6). He also led the league in yards per attempt (9.25).

Rodgers is also the only quarterback in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards and have six or fewer interceptions.

But after the Packers beat the Detroit Lions, 45-41, in Sunday's season finale with Matt Flynn at quarterback, some are questioning whether or not Green Bay's system is responsible for Rodgers' success.

So let me get this straight; because Flynn threw for a franchise-record 480 yards and six touchdowns against a suspect Lions pass defense, all of a sudden Rodgers' accomplishments are diminished? That's absolutely absurd.

Anyone who has actually watched Rodgers play this season knows how good he is. Anyone who watched him dominate the Super Bowl last season knows how good he his. The guy has a great arm and is incredibly accurate. Right now, he is the NFL's best quarterback, plain and simple.

Not only has he posted those outstanding numbers, the Packers have won 20 of Rodgers' last 21 starts. So not only is he putting up stats, but he's leading his team to wins. Anyone who questions what the 28-year-old quarterback has done is just looking for an angle, or has far too much time on their hands.
