“I love (Rodgers’) style of play. Obviously he’s an incredible passer, but how he manipulates the pocket and how he buys time in order to get his receivers open, he just does a great job of that. He throws incredibly efficiently, and he’s probably No. 1 or 2 all time in terms of QB rating and his efficiency as a quarterback.”
“He throws for a high yards per attempt. He has an incredible touchdown-to-interception ratio. He makes great decisions with the football, and he always gives his team a chance to win. He’s one of my favorite guys to watch, and I’ll obviously be watching (Monday night),” Brady told Jim Gray of Westwood One Radio last October.

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers both had decent outings over the course of the 2019 season. Brady threw for 4,000+ yards for the last three seasons. His pass completion rate has dropped in recent years. However, his pairing with Rob Gronkowski at Tampa Bay will no doubt give him some tactical freedom in the middle.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 4,000+ yards the last two years. But the arrival of rookie quarterback Jordan Love has caused quite a stir at Lambeau Field. Some competition for Love for a starting spot could spur Rodgers on to perform even better than usual. Will we the 36-year old upstage his doubters by winning the MVP award with the Packers?
