I'll do this review soon.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:43, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WRT Talk:Aaron Rodgers/GA1 issues still outstanding:
Most bare URLs fixed, but ref 29 bare URL still visible
A lot of references ~~are bare URLs, and~~ need publishers, access dates, etc. added.
post-season -> postseason
It feels like some more could be added to the college career. I'm not asking for a huge amount, but if there are a few other big games worth mentioning whether good or bad, then by all means include them.
In 2006 ... what were his stats? Missing a good amount of info that could be useful in the first couple years.
Most other issues have been resolved from GA1.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:45, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I regard the WP:LEAD to be brief and the article to be sparse given his level of success. That being said, I will commence with the article.

WP:LEAD

including lowest interception rate at 1.43%.-->including lowest single-season and career interception rates at 1.43% and 1.95%, respectively.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
link interception.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Start the 2nd para with the Super Bowl/MVP content.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would group all the passer rating records together. Something like: Rodgers holds several NFL records, including the single-season, career regular season and career postseason passer rating records of 122.5, 104.1 and 105.5, respectively. He also holds the league's lowest career regular season pass interception percentage record of 1.80%.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
At 1006 characters of readable prose, I think the LEAD is less than half the length it should be. See if we can get it into the 2000-2500 character range.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mention his high school and juco.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mention he spent three seasons backing up Favre.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Summarize each section of the article in the LEAD.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:14, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Early years

He set single-game records of six touchdowns and 440 all-purpose yards. Rodgers also set a single-season record with 2,466 total yards. - school, conference, county or state records?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This section is sparse. Mention he played hoops and possibly wore size 14s in high school.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What is the JV Almond Bowl?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:08, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

College years

Note he was among the top-rated Juco players in the country according to www.calbears.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/rodgers_aaron00.html.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Start beefing this up by talking about all his 300-yard games and 3TD efforts. As a sophomore he had 5 300-yard games. Not sure about junior. You should be able to do site searches (e.g., search on the term "Aaron Rodgers" site:sfgate.com) at sfgate.com and nytimes.com for some game details. ESPN may have details going back that far too. At the very least, we can be pretty sure sfgate.com would cover any 300-yard game by a record-setting Cal QB.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There must be stories about him at sfgate.com. They surely write at least one story on Cal football daily from August to January and he was the QB.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:45, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This section should detail why his offense was QB friendly. Mention the offensive scheme and possibly the offensive coordinator.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:59, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If it was QB friendly, some receivers should get mentioned, but this will probably be part of mentioning all the 300-yard games.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:59, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Add links to the 2003 and 2004 Cal football teams to the text.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:29, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Link to overtime.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:51, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Draft
