I distinctly remember the puff pieces about Rodgers and how they didn't match the eyeball test for first two seasons. I even remember Andrew Brandt years later saying that everyone knew in Rodgers first camp how special he'd be, and thinking he's full of it. No one knew. Rodgers even got the preferential treatment for a few years, when Craig Nall was cut even though he'd outplayed Rodgers in camp, similar to this year with Boyle walking.
And before anyone loses their minds, first please ponder the ways that comparing two things is not the same as equating two things.
