Rodgers Would Trade Records For Another Super Bowl Win

 Like many fans, I watched Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers throw his 400th career touchdown Sunday.

The nine-yarder to Davante Adams was the clincher record-setter in just 193 games, faster than any other NFL quarterback in history. Adams also snagged Rogers' 200th TD as well.

I'm willing to bet that Rodgers would trade this, and all the records he has or will have, for another Super Bowl championship. And thus far in this weird 2020 season, isn't Rodgers the logical pick for NFL Most Valuable Player?

I mean, seriously, isn't No. 12 the reason the Packers sit at 9-3? Beyond Adams and running back Aaron Jones, just who are the game-changers on that Green Bay offense? Certainly not any of the other wide receivers. Allen Lazard is developing, but he's not there yet. Certainly not Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a player who from time to time amazes us with his speed and a great catch -- but just as often we smack our forehead with a miscue.

No, Rodgers is the difference-maker. You could take Patrick Mahomes out of the Kansas City lineup and the Chiefs, with a TON of big-play guys, would still be winning. But put Rodgers on the sideline and, well, Green Bay is lucky to be mediocre.

He's playing his best football of the season, having fun and is comfortable with second-year head coach Matt LaFleur and his system. Here's hoping the roll continues!

WOULD SOMEONE please teach J.K. Scott how to at least try and make a tackle? Sunday's game featured another punt return for a touchdown by a Packer foe, and another game in which Scott found himself posterized by the football equivalent of the dunk.

Would expect more from a guy who played at one of college football's professional program, Alabama.

THAT SIGN OF relief you heard Tuesday morning was coming from the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the last team to go unbeaten in an NFL season. Am sure the surviving members of the Dolphins were calling one another to celebrate after the Washington Whatevers knocked off the previously unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers.

HOPING AGAINST HOPE that the Big Ten has the good sense to pair Wisconsin and Minnesota in a rescheduled Axe Game in two weeks. All teams were to be playing their division opposite during the Big Ten Championship Game weekend. But I expect the Big Ten to change things around and schedule the Gophers-Badgers to keep the longest-running rivalry in college football rolling.

And in that Championship Game, you can bet the conference will do it's best to get THE Ohio State Buckeyes into the game, and maybe in college football's final four title chase. It's better for the Big Ten's coffers to have OSU in that discussion (of course, all the Big Ten teams would share in the money that comes in!)
