(Live) (HD) TEHAMA COUNTY T H E V O I C E O F T E H A M A C O U NTY S I N C E 1 8 8 5 Your "Local" Daily Newspaper Since 1885 Aaron Rodgers Everyone knows who the quarterback is. And rightly so. He's the leader of the offense, often the face of the franchise and the one the media tend to focus on (unless, of course, he's one of the slew of players who got in trouble with the law this offseason). The breed of field general that frequents NFL playing fields these days throws for big yardage (11 topped 4,000 yards a year ago,) high completion rates (15 with more than 300 attempts connected on 60 percent or better of their passes in 2012) and a lot of touchdowns (five averaged two or more TD passes per game). As ex-New York Giants quarterback and current CBS analyst Phil Simms says, "This is the steroid era for quarterbacks; the numbers are ridiculous. "I constantly rant about it, and I will never stop. It's not baseball – (in that sport) the numbers are pretty true. To try to compare Joe Flacco's numbers against Tom Brady's, you can't do it. ... They play in two entirely different systems. So to start comparing numbers, you can't do that. And you know, people will never understand that because, you know, we have the QBR (quarterback rating) and whatever else they rate them by. So it's unfair, and it's unfair to the players because the public and everybody else, the media, gravitate to the numbers always." One who has put up serious numbers over the years – and won a lot of games – is Aaron Rodgers, whose Green Bay Packers are in preseason action against the Seattle Seahawks Friday, Aug. 23, on CBS. Since taking over for Brett Favre in 2008, the 29-year-old Californian has thrown for 21,332 yards, 170 touchdowns and only 45 interceptions with a 65.9 completion percentage and won NFL MVP honors in 2011. ESPN analyst Herm Edwards calls him "the No. 1 quarterback in the league in my opinion because when you watch him, he's going to throw anywhere between 35 to 40 touchdowns a year." One clearly on his way to becoming an elite signal caller is Robert Griffin III, who as a rookie in 2012 helped transform the moribund Washington Redskins into a contender. The Redskins can be seen in action Monday, Aug. 19, on ESPN when they face the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1:00 p.m. (ESPN) Little League Baseball World Series.
