How A Community College QB Became An NFL Legend

[@MrKevinEaddy]

When our town burned down 4 years ago, we are about 12 miles from Chico up the hill.. Aaron helped rebuild the town and our schools, our Gyms, and Football Stadiums for the kids.. I am a lifelong Lions Fan, but I will always tip my cap to Rodgers, and Thank Him for helping us.

As a 49ers fan, I always wondered how successful they would have been with Rodgers instead of Smith. Eventually the Niners collected plenty of talent, but while Smith was definitely talented, he probably suffered from poor coaching. Someone like Rodgers would have been a strong leader who would have basically coached the offense himself.

Vikings fan here. Prime AR12 (circa 2009-2017) was the most unbelievable QB ive ever seen play the game. He was must watch TV and was always a concern until the very last second of the game. He was a damn magician at the damndist times. I still cannot believe the 2015 Richard Rodgers throw. If my money was on the line, I would take my chances with the 2014 Packers to beat any given team in the history of football. Aaron has been far more entertaining to watch over the years than the likes of Brady or Manning. Those two drop back and make the same three or four throws all game, not entertaining at all. I wish Aaron the best and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the real AR12 on Pat McAfee's show the last few years.

You are exactly right as it happened to my kids they were swimming since 6 years old and they entered high School swimming and since they were okay at all strokes but outstanding in breast and freestyle the coach would put them on backstroke something they couldn't excel at while his own son who is mediocre in the breast and freestyle got to swim those at every competition! Needless to say they dropped out of swimming and concentrated on their studies instead and are shooting for valedictorian! The problem is many colleges want them to have 4 years of sports also. This country doesn't have priorities when it comes to our students getting ahead.

[@berendoballbomber5977]

It's usually the coaches son who play quarterback in small towns. coach Bob Jonson coached both Brett and Rob Johnson at Quarterback In Apr 29, 1994 - Bret Johnson, a former El Toro High School and UCLA quarterback, has been released by the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL. Robert Garland Johnson (born March 18, 1973) is a former professional American football quarterback and current assistant football coach at Mission Viejo High School. Johnson, a native of Orange County, California, played college football at the University of Southern California (USC) and was a fourth-round pick in the 1995 NFL Draft by the expansion team Jacksonville Jaguars.

@joeyg1463: U missed my point, not all kids are even given the chance to compete in those odds. Say Aaron Rodgers was at a high school that the coaches son was QB or the coach was bestfriends with the family of the kid trying out for QB. Trust me I seen this happen in small towns where kids played main positions like QB and had no right starting. Where I’m from there’s been a lot players go to the NFL from my school and the towns next to it...Jordan Whitehead, Ty law, tony dorsett, Mike dicka, D. Foster, D. Revis, Joe Namath, and many more.

Butte was absolutely dominant even prior to Rodgers, infact that team also had a NFL TE and multiple future D1 players. It was obvious from (even before) game one that Rodgers was really good. His reputation in the area proceeded him. The NorCal JC system (at least at that time) was really good, and was home to a ton of future D1 and nfl players.

@@KZbinuser1aa yeah thats pretty much what I'm saying. The NFL has a horrible track record of holding on to some players far to long & ignoring others, especially at QB. Matt Leinhardt, Mark Sanchez, Joe Flacco, Jim McMahon all got more looks than say Doug Flutie, Jeff Garcia, Warren Moon (who all had runs in the CFL). The NFL is notorious for overlooking talent based solely on frivolous measurables like the 40 yard dash, high jump, etc. I think there have been more greats missed & not coached up than have been put on the field. Heck look at Kurt Warner (with the exception of his Giants run) he was stocking shelves before he had dumb luck, right place right time open the door for him to showcase what he could do.

[@lowerclassbrats77]

It's almost as though a QB sitting a few years to learn the system, develop, and avoid being immediately thrown to the wolves can be beneficial in not obliterating their confidence.

Favorite player of all time

First time I've watched anything Aaron Rodgers. He was a bit stiff at times with the coin toss and is no doubt a great player. When I compare to Brady, it just confirms how awesome Brady is. Aaron Rodgers is a champion, but this video just made my estimation and admiration of Brady even higher . I'm an Australian living in the middle of the desert so your game travels far and is watched in even the remotest of places.

Rodgers is a better passer than brady. How does this make you admire Brady more?

[@Watsupyoutube]

@@Random-zy7pl cause he passed his way to 7 Superbowls.Brady was clutch when it mattered. Rodgers went missing when it did, in playoffs. I know who I'm picking first in the schoolyard lunchtime game.

Another player that came from that Community College region was Jason Sehorn. Sehorn went to Shasta Community College, which is only about 40 miles from Butte, and I think they are in the same league.

I went to Cal. When Rogers faced that big USC game, he completed his first 20 passes in a row.

This story is a reminder how success is highly dependent on luck. There are plenty of other Aaron Rodgers out there who never got noticed and will never go beyond community college football

[@ddutsie]

Rodgers will be remembered as only having one SB win and thus could never be considered with the great QB's. Off the field, he is an odd fellow and doesn't even have a relationship with his own family, very strange dude indeed.
