As a GB fan, I would like to thank all 21 teams that passed on Rogers
you're welcome :(
Shy Choongmoon LMAOO
@jonathan gianguzzo Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol We won our super bowl in the last 10 years lmao
@jonathan gianguzzo Jesus christ. Did you ask him for an autograph and he said no ? Like what's so wrong with him? Please explain instead of claim .
No problem (speaking for Carolina)
“he has flaws in the deep ball game” and in a 13 month span he threw four of the greatest hail marys of all time lmaoooo
@cpk1994 49ers fan?
*3
cpk1994 so they project for the future not the rookie year or present
@cpk1994 Triggered because rodgers beat your team with a hail mary?
@cpk1994 what a big boy word
It’s so ironic that Brady and Rodgers both wanted to go to the 49ers and didn’t and both ended up HOF status QB’s
Its probably because of Joe Montana
Sad
@@hgggyyiimjgy664 They dont loosirs like you either. 🖕
@@hgggyyiimjgy664 we dont wantchu😂
49ers fans are the worst in so glad they didn’t end up there
“Aaron Rodgers can’t throw long downfield” he is now the most iconic Hail Mary QB in NFL history
All facts it’s crazy how things turn out
That arizona hail Mary was amazing.
Na Carson palmer is the hail Mary king
He is now the loser with equal NFC championships in his whole career as Brady won in his first.
I love watching this stuff, seeing these draft experts eat their words
Lol, Tom Brady was from CA and wanted to play for the 49ers and they said PASS. Aaron Rodgers was from CA and wanted to play for the 49ers and they said PASS. 49ers hate their own lol
ihurricane7 not cal college Tom was from Michigan
Michael Counts Both Aaron and Tom's hometowns are in California
Michael Counts Brady was born and raised in California and wanted to be a 49er because he idolized Joe Montana. You missed the point.
I can understand passing on brady so long, but I can't understand passing on Rogers. One of my biggest regrets is Brett Favre flip flopping in and out of retirement for 4 or 5 years wasting that much of Rogers career forcing him sit on the bench during most of his first year contract. That's 4 or 5 years of wondering if he's going to start all off season. That's 4 or 5 years of him not being able to play and help negotiate for a much larger second contract. And that's 4 or 5 years of career numbers being taken away from him that people in the future will look back and compare him to other players and make him look not as good. He could have an extra 125 td passes, 20,000 passing yards and tons of other fantastic stats that were taken away from an old man thatsc'v88
Ken Cranston But it's also good time to develop into the most skilled QB of all time.
Reporter:He has such a bad throwing technique Aaron Rodgers: Ima end this mans whole career
Bob Bob he technically does. He uses all his arm. You don’t want to do that but he’s able to do it bc his arm is so talented. In QB mechanics you want to see them using their body to put momentum into the pass also.. Rodgers relies all on his arm. He also is careless with his left arm. They’d rather see him drive it inside towards his left hip so it forces his throwing arm high & like it should be. When he throws its close to sidearm.
Bob Bob you would NEVER teach Rodgers mechanics to a young QB.
josh903x ur a bandwagon
@@josh903x And yet, look at the success AR has with it. So perhaps not as much emphasis should be put on mechanics and more emphasis should be put on what he does with what he has.
@@fenner1986 Thing is U can never predict a guy with a different technique to succeed like AR did That's y front office mostly goes for safe route rather than a risky one That's y u go for a traditional QB rather than AR type qb It's not that easy to predict the future
ESPN is such a joke. They went from raving about Aaron in the beginning of the draft, then when he starts falling in the draft, they act like they expected it and now points out flaws that no one mentioned before. They're eating their words now...
Except that one guy who said Aaron Rodgers would fall to 24 11:54
They sure are. I remember when the whole Tim Tebow flash in the pan was on. He made the playoffs on a freak play, and then beat two teams by having to rely on his FG kicker from 50+. That's not clutch, sorry. That next morning, Skip Brainless said "Look out Canton, here comes Tebow" when confronted about A.R who had a great game that same day. "He'll never last, he's a system QB with garbage receivers"
@@thephantomeagle2lmfao good ol’ skip
Matt prater LEGEND
@@robj362 his 63 or some yard field goal stood for a good 8years or so
Its amazing how the sportscasters were so impressed with Aaron before the draft began, but as soon as teams started passing on him they started criticizing his ball positioning, technique, ability to throw the ball deep, not ready for the NFL level. Group think at its finest.
Right? So embarrassing
49rs scouts,gm on qbs mostly in those days ABSURD NO OTHER WORD
“And the packers proudly step to the podium and select the successor to brett farve.” And the rest is history. Insane.
favre*
I'm Out successor means he came after
I'm Out yeah he is a lot better. In every single stat
AML RMCF I wish I could like this comment a 100 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm Out you’re right he’s better than Favre
So 49ers passed on Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.😂
Revin Hoang RIP 49ers they went from Joe Montana to Hoyrr
Michael Vick have you ever heard of a guy named Steve Young?
Doge Doge yeah he needs one more chance
Doge Doge look at him now
Everyone passed on Tom Brady you idiot Even the Patriots passed on him 5 times. Plus the 49ers weren’t looking for a QB when Brady came out
“alex may be a little bit better in the long run” Aaron in 2021: yeah you guys were absolutely right 😂
To be fair to Alex Smith, injuries and SF's terrible coaching ruined what could have been a much longer and more successful career.
@@Riley_Mundt Alex should have excelled during the Harbaugh years then, but Colin Kap outplayed him.
It's really poetic and humbling to see Rodgers stay with the Packers for his entire career after he said he'd go to any team that wants him, and he's more then re-paid that faith.
dude might dip lmao
@@JalenBrunson558 I mean the packers are kind of dipping on him lol
It's about to change
lol
Then the Packers threw him away like trash. I get the feeling this is gonna be the beginning of a Boston Red Sox-like curse
As soon as Rodgers made that throw inside the tire and Alex Smith missed they should chose Rodgers right then and there 😂
It looked like Rodgers missed it. Just over the tire.
They both missed
Or they could have just watched his games
they both missed but Alex throw was horrible!
No one drafting him is gonna care if he threw it through a tire
I love Rodgers’ mentality about the situation. He’s never lied about having wanted to be a 49er or his disappointment with the wait, but he’s always done his best with the hand dealt him. I think that’s his best trait.
@@Carl_McMelvin lol
@@Carl_McMelvin prob a fan of one of the teams who passed on him. So salty
& he literally just thanked Green Bay on his birthday this past week for raising him essentially
Mike mayhock predicting Aaron Rodgers going to Green Bay at 24 is crazy
I like Mike. His analysis is great.
He also bought up bitcoin in 2010 and Tesla and Amazon stock when they IPO’ed…
“Why’d you pass on Rodgers?” “We didn’t trust the soul patch.”
Plus he admitted to being a Nickelback fan!
You can tell at the start when Rodgers and Smith threw that ball up there at the tire who was better lol
Word is, Alex Smith actually asked if they could move the tire to "Check-down yardage". LOL
Exactly.. SMH
LMAO. Rodgers the g.o.a.t
did smith whine or cry as much?
Huh?
Aaron Rodgers: I waited 5 hours to get drafted Tom Brady: Hold my humble pie
its something different to be at the place where they draft and expecteded to be drafted at 1st or just sit at home and wait for a phone call dude
Tom Brady wasn’t even thought to he picked
xXPhysicxX facts
To be fair Tom Brady never thought he was going in the first round
Random Entertainment his physical scouting report was awful haha
This was Ted Thompson's very first draft pick as GM of the Packers. This one pick and how he stood firmly behind Rodgers years later is Ted's entire legacy in Green Bay. Packers fans absolutely hated the pick of Rodgers and vilified Ted for it. When Ted stuck with Rodgers after Favre retired in 2008 and then un-retired, fans vilified him for not letting Favre back. He took a ton of abuse from fans over it and when Ted was ultimately be vindicated with the Super Bowl 45 win, and every single one of those fans who vilified him were completely shut up and Ted refused to take a victory lap at their expenbse when he had every right to. Starting with this pick, Ted extended the Packers run as Super Bowl contenders for another 16 years. Thank you, Ted. Rest in Peace.
That tire throw says it all..
Yup
C Trusz you know Rodgers over threw right? Close but not in
Evan H. You know Alex Smith was like 5 yards off right?
bobeezy he threw an ugly ball tho...
bobeezy but the throw ball was not a good throw who's gonna catch that? 😂
"He has flaws in the deep ball game, that doesn't translate well into the NFL." Omg the irony is making me sick in the stomach thinking of Alex Smith.
Haha, this comment is so glorious. The irony is almost hysterical.
was Alex Smith Bust don't see NFL since 2005
Mr checkdown was taken ahead of my deep ball.. because they were worried about mr deep ball throwing the deep ball..
hateUmankind how do you edit a comment in hopes of correcting it and still have it make no sense
Maybe this turned Rodgers into what he is today. Couldve motivated him to have a better stance and one of the quickest, smoothest releases ever.
RIP Ted Thompson. One of the packer great GMs.
I'm glad at the end he went to the best team in the world , a team with the most beautiful colors , greatest football field and best fans , go Packers forever.
A team tht hasn't touched a Lombardi since Obama's first term😂😂😂😂😂
Packers wasted his career. Hope your bandwagon fans enjoy sucking for the next decade
"The sampling of his throws deep down the field just were not there" Hah, Ironic. "shows detroit game"
Donovan Morgan for real. Rodgers is probably the GOAT of deep passes
He probably saw that video clip and went out and made himself the goat deep thrower
I have to wonder, did Alex "7 Yard Screen Pass" Smith have impressive deep passes?😂
the man is the Hail Mary king lmao 😂
*shows NY Giants Playoff game 4 seconds before halftime*
I like the ending, "I thought I was the best thing since slice bread, and I needed a little bit of humble pie". He showed some character during the interviews too, I love this draft story.
I'm not even a Packers fan but i can't help but root for Rodgers... what a good dude, one of a kind... I'd be honored if some fellow NFL fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN by Tom Petty and PURPLE RAIN by Prince on my channel in tribute to 2 of the purest artists that the USA has ever produced. Live acoustic with no autotune. PEACE and RESPECT.
Rodgers is a class act and one of the most consciously intelligent players in the game. Took his lumps in stride and turned it into gold. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets another ring.
Who else is watching this after Ted Thompson passed away today? Thank you Ted, for giving us Packer fans the privilege of watching one of the most talented QB’s ever lead our team 😢
Ted Thompson wasted Rodgers' career due to his staunch refusal to sign free agents. Rodgers should've more than 1 ring.
Ted Thompson was horrible for the packers. Packers front office has been the biggest enemy of the team for so long it's ridiculous. Not signing free agents or anything isn't how you build a championship team when lots of draft picks will be busts.
He's now 0-4 vs SF In the playoffs
Just goes to show that these so called draft experts get paid to guess
Mayock was right though 11:50
Gengar Sleep you can guess right
Lol totally agree!!
I actually listen to two analysts. Mayock and Klatt.
Yup every year they act like they are so smart and very seldom are the right
Everyone wearing suits and ties. Then you see Pac man with clothes that looked like he slept in.
Slept?? That 2xl White tee was Louis Vuitton of the 2000s 😂
Curtis B that’s just who he is though, how he was raised. He was surely putting on for his demographic.
I mean pacman wasn't at the draft so...
@@nannerthepuss He wasn't even at the draft why would he dress in a suit. They drafted baker mayfield and he was in a tshirt and some jeans. Miss me with that
@@nickniehaus1763 imagine if somewhat like pacman came to the draft like that
Glad Aaron has had an awesome career and continues to, and I'm glad Alex eventually came into his own. Was cool to spend my early teens up until today pretty much watching them both.
"His sampling of deep throws down field were just not there".......... funny how things played out
“We felt Aaron would be better to start right away but in the long run Alex would be better” lol.
At least they were right about Alex Smith taking a while to develop, not that he’s better than AR
do you do stand up comedy? You're a funny guy.
Gingam it took 3 years for AR to be the starting QB, so I guess they are wrong on that.
And where is Alex Smith now? LOL
Aligums in an NFL team that his starting...
As a 49ers fan, I cannot believe we passed on Rodgers
It is more painful to pass on Brady.
@@binsun820 not really, statistics wise, Rodgers is better. Fastest QB to 400 TD’s this year, QB rating is the highest, of all time. If you put Rodgers on the Pats, they would probably have 8 rings being dead serious.
@@williamcharles587 I mean, not really, you half to consider that McCarthy was the definition of stale. His play calling was horrifically predictable and the amount of games that Rodgers has clutched shows he’s just as capable as Brady if not more. We’ll see with LaFluer, but with him Packers are way more dangerous it seems
@@williamcharles587 Rodgers is just as good under pressure though is the thing. The amount of teams Rodgers has stabbed in the heart has more than proven he’s just as cool under pressure. Besides, if you look at Brady, he relies on a system. He gets the ball and gets it out as soon as he can. It doesn’t make him bad, but he can’t usually keep a play going like Rodgers can. I’m not talking out of my ass, watch his film, then Rodgers. You are absolutely right it’s not just playcalling, otherwise he wouldn’t have 6 rings, but when you look at just how bad McCarthy’s playcalling was in his final years at Green Bay. Yet despite that, and how horrifically predictable we were, he still led us to 12-4. Rodgers is more skilled. Whether it’s from film, or from pure statistics. Super Bowl’s mean nothing in this regard, otherwise no one would even mention quarterbacks like Dan Marino or Warren Moon.
Alex Smith- run of the mill quarterback Aaron Rodgers- once in a generation talent The comparison is just unequal… to say the least
the 49ers could’ve went from montana to young to rodgers
yeah but the packers went from farve to rodgers. HA!
Ben Snyder ok
After Steve young it was Jeff Garcia ..
@@timbeinborn3328 brady would of been a bust if drafted by any other team he's a system qb
Instead the Packers get Starr, Favre and Rodgers! We’ll take it!
I Guarantee that 49ers fans punch air every time they watch this video lmaoooo
As a 49er fan this is hard to watch
Hahaha I actually did then saw this comment hahaha
Nah we straight
Just imagine if they pick Brady or Rodgers, Jeff García and Alex Smith, ok i am dead inside
bu...bu...bu.. they got a social justice icon who highlighted the plight of black Americans . The PR from that is incalculable!.
" im so excited to....get out of that greenroom...and..." LOL
I'm here from Chico California we all love you Aaron thank you for being great
Aaron Rogers’s Agent looked different in the State Farm commercial 😂
Will Parker that’s back before he was burning towels in Rodgers bathroom😂😂
@Cpassballer he's never even took a dump or a piss
Will Horton yea he meditates to make it go away
good thing
cause I dont even know noone of those players on Aaron rodgers
Can't imagine how it feels when your team passed on both Brady and Rodgers
Hunter Brady wouldn’t be Brady if he got drafted by any other team. Belichick made him the qb he is
THOMAS CARTER L
I know people love the Tim Rattay narrative, but let's be real, by the time Brady could have started a game in SF, he already would have won 2 rings with New England. Not only that but he would face the same hell as Smith with constant offensive scheme changes and different coaching staffs. Like Thomas said Brady wouldn't be Brady without Belichick, if he somehow landed in SF during that time, the story would be way different.
Animelover123 that's not an L that's just a fact my guy
THOMAS CARTER you’re wrong. If you’re meant for greatness, you will be great no matter what.
This was before they adjusted the rookie scale. That slide cost him tens of millions of dollars
I feel bad for Aaron as a GB fan but I’m also happy that we picked him and that he has had a better career than Alex smith
We?
"We" didn't do anything. The Packers organization did. You are not part of the team in any way.
Stop saying we
@@A7xFo He could be a part owner actually fans can own shares of the team
Lmao the flip phones threw me off lol
Flip phones ROCK! ~ signed, a former smart phone user..who is glad to go back to the basics ;)
@who knows right
I thought the same thing... like Damn this really was back in the day LOL
Lol
People will say that about the X in 10 years 😂
They said the way he holds the ball makes it so he couldn't throw the deep ball well. Mr. Hail Mary can't throw the deep ball....😂
And just yesterday he threw another two long ass passes exactly on target. 13 years later
Tbf, it looks like his form has evolved a bit. It looked atrocious on that one clip they showed
@@Joe-nz5ql , Yah but if I see two guys out in the street, out of their element. Hyped by the crowd and he hits dead on, didn't even touch the sides of the tire. Then the other guy doesn't even come close to making that throw. I'm going to pick the guy who can make that shot on the first go, without hesitation. I'm still pissed we didn't pick him.
Ric T. 49 He is cold as ice bro or as Stephen A says „He‘s a BAAAD man“ and one was able to see that right away, also in this throw;) Gotta love QBs with cold precision an the will to turn around games which are lost for nearly everybody. From a Brady Fanboy :D
Ric T. 49 - come on man do you think the scouts are looking at who throws the ball through a tire
The only teams that passed on him was San Fran it's not like every team picked a quarterback
Yeah QB rookie contracts at the time were enormous for 1st rounders. If you didn't need need a QB you wouldn't pick one. Now that they aren't so expensive way easier to pick a QB 1st round to speculate on hoping they become the next Montana or what have you.
As a Packers fan, thanks for the chip on Aaron’s shoulder. It made him the player that he is today
10:34 "cant throw well downfield" best hail mary quarterback ever
Jaworski is an idiot
He's a chucker.
since when is Smith a deep thrower??
He said the samples weren't there.
@cpk1994 nah man, Jaworski has had more than his fair share of bad takes. And thanks for the sick burn almost a year later. You got me good.
As a Packers fan, this was a great day.
Go. Pack.
Cheesssseeeee headddddssssss for life
mhm
Too bad packers organization is holding him back. Rodgers would have multiple Super Bowls with better management.
LiquidSwords03 with who tho
As a Saints fan ima say this Aaron Rodgers no doubt is a HOF and I hope he gets at least one more ring He's earned my respect
I'm a Packers fan so I'm happy the way that this went :)
"I thought I was the best thing since sliced bread and I needed a little bit of humble pie." - Aaron Rodgers.
Lets take a moment and realize that the 49ers had two future Hall of Famer's who wanted to play for them and passed on both Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady
2 🐐s
They also picked Solomon Thomas instead of deshaun Watson
And they passed on Patrick mahomes
@@kevinmello8733 No wonder 49ers get hated a lot they always pass massive potential talent😐
Alex Smith wasn't a bad pick; he just had a horrible coach. Won't forget Singletary screaming at Alex Smith on the sidelines as if his garbage coaching was Smith's fault.
Dang tough call. Ive met Alex and super respect him. As a BYU fan I still really really like Alex. Both are awesome. Sometimes adversity makes the Man. Both have experienced it. Slight here for Aaron and Rehab of leg with Alex. So much respect to both, both pushed through adversity. Good luck to both in the future
Man we’re truly blessed to have had two of the greatest quarterbacks in succession ever. Go Pack Go!
Starr makes 3, not just for his arm but for his head. No radios back then. Yes you said succession but I was In a coma between the 60s and 90s.
Still managed to get as many rings as Eli in that entire 35 years. GB wasted them.
@@hyperscary5731 Eli Manning is better than Rodgers, Favre, Marin0, etc. Better.
Just like Brady - use the disappointment as fuel to dominate
aaron only waited a couple hours, brady waited for days
Thiessen Yang facts 😂😂😂
Brady wasn't a top prospect. it's like in today's world, Sam Darnold is the favorite to go first or something. But then Darnold drops to number 24, that's pretty disappointing lol
Thiessen Yang brady wasn't a top prospect and didn't even show up for the draft because he didn't expect to get picked
both were snubbed by their beloved 49ers too, you'd think they would learn
Imagine sitting in a room for 5 hours just waiting for your name to be called
You’ve never been to the DMV?
it's like being a kicker at a fantasy football draft
So basically, 49ers's draft strategy gave us the 2 best QBs in the game. Brady in 2000 draft, and Rogers in 2005 draft. And surprisingly, 49ers's draft strategy involved not drafting these legends, lmao.
6:42: "Does Tennessee start to wonder, 'How many years left does Steve McNair have?'" Haunting quote
I had the same thought... Yikes!!
That makes me sad Steve McNair was a beast just had to end a bit too soon
Yeah it's been awhile but I had forgotten this. That does hurt I liked watching McNair play.
Love how everyone on hindsight says “I thought Aaron was definitely the guy....” 13 years later.
There was quite a bit of people saying Rodgers shoulda gone #1 at the time.
That one dude had him mocked to Green Bay is galaxy brained tho
Nobody ever knows and that's why I hate the draft and speculating.. it means nothing. Talk to me after 2-3 seasons and we'll talk how good a player so and so is What makes it more confusing is depending on what team he goes to, especially QBs. I seriously think alot of good QBs out there are only "serviceable" because they're in a bad system.
And those teams are still Happy.
After seeing Aaron throw that football through the tire in NYC before the draft he deserved to go #1
That greasy early 2000s hair 😂
Thank God that Aaron fell to us!!
Aside from having him on my 2017 fantasy team, it's been good.
Get outta here kid. Wishing and praising other peoples' injuries is cruel.
You legit need mental help if you're happy when players get inured
vAga dude I get it I'm the guy with the packer pfp but why tf would you wish, or praise that on a player
Amen.
7:34 Nobody: This dudes barber: You don't need no side burns
You can see how besides his excellent skills and hard work Aaron Rodgers puts in, that a driving, motivating force enabling him to break HOF Favre's record and raise the bar, be the BOAT, but he plays at the highest level in appreciation for the team that believed in him, and to make the 21 other teams pay for their overlooking him. GO 🏈🧀 💚PACK 💛🍻💪 GO
I think this freaking waiting made him a better player, I am glad he proved so many people wrong.
edgar siordia it definitely gave him a chip on his shoulder, “ your not going to pick me? I’ll work my ass off and show you wrong”
@@slopcrusher3482 I am 100% with you on that
Big time.
okl LoopPp
Yeah he even stated in the video that it was humbling because he thought he was the best there was in the draft and super hot stuff. Then worked for years before getting his shot and making the most of it.
Lol that flip phone
so glad someone else said it
and that hair
Motorola RAZR though!
"YEAH!!! HOW PRIMITIVE AND ANCIENT! WHY WOULD ANYONE USE SUCH A RIDICULOUS DEVICE!"...........said all the smug millennials
I love how mobile phones are basically regressing in size. When they first came out they were like bricks and eventually got smaller and smaller as technology progressed. Then visuals stated to become a big part of the experience and they gradually got bigger and bigger, until now you have those ridiculous things that are so huge you can barely hold them in your hand.
here after the 5th 49rs playoff loss 😂😂😂
Its crazy how long it takes for most QB's to develop before they become upper tier QBs. Smiths personal best season (from a stat standpoint) was 2017, 12-13 years after he was drafted.
What’s crazy is out of all the draft picks, Aaron Rogers is still playing...
Smith is back
So is smith
Thomas Davis literally just retired
And Smith just retired
Mans 37 still healthy
10:00 this is the rare times when someone says "it's very humbling" in the correct context. often you hear someone use this phrase after they win an award for some reason which makes no sense.
Oh my word, thank you!!! That drives this grammar nerd crazy lol
I think that the 49ers knew they made a mistake when they heard Aaron Rodgers is really well spoken!
Every year this get recommended to me, and I get absolutely heartbroken as a Niners fan.
“Well, how many years does Steve McNair have left?” That hit hard 😔😣😖
Lemon Sauce wait what happened 💀😭
@@Pope7777 he was shot and killed in 2009
Sat behind a legend to only become one.... phenomenal story
Zykeil Harper great tutaledge
Rogers is way better than favre
Nikk Carroll no I agree but he wasn't a legend sitting on the bench and Favre was at that point but of course I agree
Tyler G Yes Aaron is 5x better than Favre. I can't even go into all of Favre's flaws.
Nicholas Provenzano he's not 5x better but he is nonetheless #facalacts
*He got the 49ers some playoff wins without even having to play for them thank you Mr. Rodgers ;)*
You guys probably have like 9 or more rings by now if you actually drafted him. Not a few playoff wins.
Lol pathetic cope
This is how I will feel 10 years from now knowing my broncos passed on josh Allen, for Bradley Chubb. Literally right up the road for us
If it makes you feel any better we would have ruined Josh Don't give me wrong he's my favorite quarterback in the league right now but he got to where he is because of the bills coaching staff and our coaching staff would have ruined him in his early years
josh is just another good qb that will never win the big game
@@DeosPraetorian I’m starting to think that after their latest postseason fail.. he’s still good though, no where near where people were rating him before the season
@@pillcosby3949 he's good enough to get to a Sb but he is a bit to reckless with the ball
So interesting to see what people think about Josh Allen, but he certainly could win a superbowl. Is he one of the alltime greats probably not, but he is definitely talented. He still has a few years before he hits his prime since he's 27 right now and early 30's are when QB's tend to peak.
Im a bears fan but you gotta love Rodgers.. hate the jersey but the man is a amazing qb
Im Tylito bears suck ass
Im Tylito respect!
As a bears fan i hate him, as a fantasy football player hes my hero
As a bears fan Im a huge fan of Aaron Rodgers but hate the packers lol
Im Tylito Cal Bears?
Can you imagine in some parallel universe there's an Aaron Rogers who plays for the 49ers?
Watch the KTO video
Want to live in that universe
There’s also another parallel universe where instead of Rodgers it’s Brady on the 49ers.
I wish i could see that universe
John Arroyo 49ers would be better with Rodgers
Even Parcells passed on Rodgers feeling great about his QB situation with Bledsoe starting and UFA Tony Romo on the bench, taking Demarcus Ware (very talented Edge).
This is what made Aaron Rodgers *Aaron Rodgers.* That grit and the very up-front way about him and how he plays with that chip on his shoulder comes from this.
"sampling of his throw deep down was just not there". facepalm
They aren't wrong. Rodgers basically transformed his entire playstyle while on the bench.
@Hemanth Swarna @ SuperPunch76 learning is a process that takes place even if you don't wan to learn but there is absolutely nothing suggest that one becomes this great because of his learning. Also, he had to sit back because of the guy who was starting at the time.
SuperPunch76 He sat because Favre was starting, not because he didn't have the skill.
Love seeing all of these captain hindsights lol.
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Superbowl Champion, Superbowl MVP and undoubtedly Hall Of Fame
At least he went to the Packers.
Who else is here watching this video as a GB fan hoping Jordan Love becomes in our new Aaron Rodgers? Almost the same Draft Story 🤷♂️
Except for the fact that Rodgers was predicted to maybe go number one overall and fell to the Packers at 24 on a silver platter. In contrast, the Packers traded up to pick Love who threw 17 interceptions last year and was no where near the best quarterback in the draft class.
Well, he made it to the playoffs in his first year as the main starter. Then wiped the floor with the cowboys at home when they were undefeated at home this season. I think he has a shot at being a really solid QB, but it's hard to know based on one season.
The "delta" between what Rodgers and Smith have actually done in the NFL , is like the Grand Canyon .
2005 mock draft guy is intelligent his prediction is so accurate damn
srinu naik amgoth Mayock is the only draft analyst who I trust because he looks at the talent of players but also the fit of that player to a certain team
Well it was 50/50 for San Fran picking Rodgers/Smith, and if one of them didn't get picked by the 49ers the other one would get picked most likely by the Packers
Nicholas Katsikas Yup. Other analysts think with their gut. He actually accounts for multiple logical variables.
Shut up mike i know this your burner acct
@@Mashukoria nah, it wasnt really 50/50. Its been documented that a lot of teams felt like Smith was a better player, including Miami and Tampa Bay. Smith was seen as a better player in college.
i always love looking back on Draft mistakes. HIndsight is fun!! (GO PACK GO)
Legend has it Alex Smith is still waiting for that smile 😭
"Trouble throwing deep down the field" HAHAHAHHAHA
He is da hail mary king
you must be a blast to hang out with...
Say the person who still makes cringe rocket league videos😂
Nightmare_of_Doom oof, roasted him.
I have to think it's some kind of cosmic justice that the 49ers would go from Joe Montana to Steve Young, only to miss on two of the greatest QBs ever who both had ties to California/the 49ers and both wanted to be drafted by them badly. I'm speaking of course of Tom Brady who grew up a die-hard Niners fan and huge Joe Montana fan, and A-Rod. It's ironic if nothing else.
Jacob Taylor definitely a weird universe we’re in
As a 49ers fan, it hurts to see this embarrassing choice from manager
Are you of course speaking of Brady and Rodgers? You're not smart, stop trying to talk like you are
2:27 "it was clearly one of the best workouts I've ever seen" outta my right eye
If this was the last year with him, he will be dearly missed. Thank you for everything Mr. Rodgers. Go Pack Go!
And now Aaron Rodgers is going to the hall of fame while Alex Smith may not. Aaron is much better now.
Lol Alex Smith "May"not. LOL Unless he comes up with 2 rings in the next 2 years, he's not coming close to the HOF
@@totalrobot The only way Alex Smith is getting into the Hall of Fame is if he buys a general admission ticket like the rest of the public
Babs Checkett May not? What has Alex Smith done to get into the HOF?? Lmao
Mike V led the 49ers to a super bowl against ravens. He would of won that game if he started. Colin kapernick is horrible doesn’t deserve a job
Bigcassady Tv sorry that didn’t happen, he lost his starting job halfway thru the season. I don’t like Kaep either but in 2012 he played well. And idk what universe you live in but you don’t get into the HOF for starting half the season on a team that eventually goes to the Super Bowl and loses. If that’s your only argument, you just helped prove my point.
I bet 49ers regret that
trust me they regret brady way more then rodgers lol
@@chanceshankle1285 you're not lying. brady's far more valuable than rodgers! lol
As a fan of football I appreciate stories like this. I’m a steeler fan but I’m un-biased to good football.. look forward to watching you play (not against the Steelers though) and get you HOF jacket one day
It was a beautiful mystery, when AR fell to the Packers. By the way: The Ravens picked Ray Lewis one spot ahead of the Packers, when they wanted him. Go Pack
Not enough power to throw the ball dowmfield 😂
goes on to be one of the most notable clutch hail mary throwers lmao
Wyatt Graham hail marys are luck
Bob Bobby Not when Rodgers throws them.
Treebol ne Not enough brain power to spell correctly
Eats hail marys for breakfast
You can see the system protecting itself after he didn't get picked. They start showing clips of everything "wrong" with him and why he's not getting picked.
PC MasterRace I’d like to see an interview with those bandwagon naysayers to see how they feel about him now.
So, Tom Brady?
@King Amen-Tut-Ankh tf are you on about Rodgers never cheats
No, you're just a stupid troll and a really pathetic one at that.
@King Amen-Tut-Ankh cheater? Who? Brady?
And he’s won just as many SBs as Joe Flacco or any other 1 time SB winners
Flacco was drafted higher than him...
I mean Trent Dilfer 'won' a superbowl, but got cut in the offseason lmao. It takes a team to win, not just a QB. Could have someone as talented as Montana do nothing if their oline sucks.
