Aaron Rodgers is unequivocally one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game of football. He just finished his tenth season as a starter. Has he accomplished enough?

The Green Bay Packers are one of the most-storied franchises in NFL history. After trudging through the dark days of the ’70s and ’80s, the organization found itself with back-to-back Hall of Fame quarterbacks for the past three decades.

From Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers, the next franchise quarterback will have more than enough on his plate. But that won’t be for awhile (hopefully), so all we can do is analyze the past.

When Rodgers was drafted in 2005, expectations were far less than what he’s already accomplished. After falling to 24th overall, the California product had plenty to prove – and wouldn’t have the chance to show his worth until years later.

Crunching the numbers (first five seasons)

When Favre ‘retired’ at the end of the 2007 season, the Packers entered a (very) brief period of uncertainty at quarterback. Rodgers was the guy, but there were no expectations of deep playoff runs, Pro Bowls or record-setting seasons in his first few years.

But similarly to other major life events, Rodgers became accustomed to being the underdog. After being snubbed by Division I colleges during the recruiting process and his historical fall in the 2005 draft, Rodgers developed a deep perspective of what it takes to overcome whatever life threw at him.

Based on what we know now, Rodgers’ first season at the helm looked subpar at best – though at the time was pretty impressive. He debuted as the starter in 2008 and threw for 4,038 yards, 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions – stats that would be ‘career years’ for many quarterbacks.

But that was merely the beginning. After a disappointing 6-10 season in 2008, he led the Packers to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth the next season, while simultaneously earning his first Pro Bowl nod.

Then came the 2010 season, when Rodgers led the Packers to their fourth Super Bowl title. After only three seasons as the starter expectations were building.

Rodgers took it up a notch when he completed what many consider to be the most impressive campaign of any quarterback ever during the 2011 season.

While leading Green Bay to a 14-1 record as the starter, he racked up 4,643 yards, 45 touchdowns, 6 interceptions and had a 68.3 percent completion rate. He also finished with a mind-boggling 122.5 rating and claimed his first MVP award.

Rodgers capped off his fifth year as the starter by nonchalantly throwing for 39 touchdowns and 8 interceptions in 2012. It looked as if Green Bay struck the jackpot.
