Basically from from 2015 to 2019, he was an above average QB, but not elite. He was certainly good enough that you'd want him on your team, but probably not good enough to return value on a huge cap number. He came out to about a 97.0 Passer Rating over that span, which was what Philip Rivers produced for the Colts last year. Now I totally blame McCarthy's offense and Rodgers' bad habits within that offense-- not his actual ability-- for those disappointing returns. But now that he bought into LaFleur's offense and returned to MVP form, people seem to think that no matter where he goes, he would just set the league on fire. Recent history tells us that that simply isn't true. The situation clearly matters for him to reach his potential. But I guess the narrative that he'd be amazing anywhere isn't surprising, since so many people seem to think he has no help around him in Green Bay (help, like a top 5 OL, great running game, elite WR, and one of the most QB friendly offenses in football... that kind of help).</blockquote>
