Suggested change: 2009 Single-Season Passing Yards Record Error

Under professional career/starting seasons/2009, the following statement is incorrect:

"With his high-powered arm and multiple receiving weapons, Rodgers came only 25 yards shy of breaking Brett Favre's single-season passing yards record for a Green Bay quarterback."

Recommend changing to:

"With his high-powered arm and multiple receiving weapons, Rodgers surpassed Brett Favre's single-season passing yards record for a Green Bay quarterback by 21 yards, falling short of Lynn Dickey's all-time single-season record by only 24 yards."

See below from source. Favre does hold a record in this category

Most Yards Passing, Season 4,458, Lynn Dickey, 1983 (484 attempts) 4,434, Aaron Rodgers, 2009 (541 attempts) 4,413, Brett Favre, 1995 (570 attempts --NortyNort (talk) 04:26, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, let's break the sentence down:
"Rodgers surpassed Brett Favre's single-season passing yards record for a Green Bay quarterback by 21 yards" - No he didn't. Brett Favre does not hold the record for single-season passing yards record for a Green Bay QB. Before Aaron Rodgers, he was in second place in that category. Thus stating that Brett Favre holds a record in this category is factually incorrect. I agree that he beat Brett Favre by 21 yards, but he didn't beat any record. It would be like saying Don Majkowski holds a record for single-season passing yards because he is in fourth place. It makes no sense.
"falling short of Lynn Dickey's all-time single-season record by only 24 yards." - The first part of the sentence says that Aaron broke the record for single-season passing yards, but the second part says that he fell short of the very same record! The sentence doesn't make sense.
I have changed the sentence accordingly. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
To be quite honest - who care's who Rodgers passed to be 2nd on the Packers list? It's notable however. I've changed the sentence as follows & also included a reference: "Aaron always wanted to play for the niners, since the lost to NY giants he now is very interested in a trade for Aaron and Grant for Smith and Gore. This trade might just happen"
"His passing yardage was good for second all-time in Packers history behind only Lynn Dickey's all-time single-season record." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stylteralmaldo (talk • contribs) 17:05, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Suggest Change: First comeback win in 2008, not 2009

Aaron Rodger's first 4th quarter come from behind win was against the Lions in Detroit in 2008. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/comeback.cgi?player=RodgAa00 --Mendeleev (talk) 07:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I changed the sentence to read that it was his first comeback win when his team was trailing entering the 4th quarter. The two Lions "comeback wins" from 2008 had one situation when the Packers were actually leading heading into the 4th quarter and the other had the teams tied entering the 4th quarter. Stylteralmaldo (talk) 18:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Suggested change: 2009 season recap grammar error

As it exists now: "However, after Favre dropped out due to injury and Brees was replaced due to his participation in Super Bowl XLIV, Rodgers became the NFC's starting QB position."

"starting QB position" should be changed to either "starting QB" or "starter at the QB position". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Awirshba (talk • contribs) 03:54, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Highest Career Quarterback rating

A quarterback becomes eligible for most "career" ratings after 1500 attempts. Aaron Rodgers met this distinction during the present season. Since becoming eligible for this distinction Aaron Rodgers has traded the title, back and forth, with Philip Rivers. As of the end of week 16 Aaron Rodgers again has the title of Highest Career Quarterback Ranking. Since this is such a significant, and widely used, measure of an NFL quarterback's ability I feel it must be mentioned in this article. Rather than updating weekly I feel it is best to put in a section on his quarterback rating and that, since reaching 1500 attempts, has been a front-runner in this category. Thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.25.93.245 (talk) 02:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

QB rating, while not a be-all and end-all number by any means (and one that is obviously inflated by rule changes and the growth of the passing game over the last 20 years), is a valid and relevant statistic regaredless and one that QBs are often measured by, so yes it's significant that he is the current all-time leader. His standing may need to be updated somewhat frequently, however, depending on the performance of other current quarterbacks who are in constant contention for the #1 spot (primarily Philip Rivers, who is currently behind Rodgers by 1.2, which is a gap narrow enough to be eclipsed in a single season).
The more impressive number, however, is Interception % - most quarterbacks have their worst seasons in this category at the beginning of their careers, whereas Rodgers has become the career leader in that span. A league-leading int% by a player with only three years as a starter may actually be unprecedented, but I will ascertain proof for this before lobbying for that to be included here. If it IS unprecedented, then this may be the most important statistic of his young career, by far.

Suggested Change: 2004 Season

Suggest changing the following text to add "Golden Bears" instead of "Bears" (to avoid any confusion with the Chicago Bears).

Should be changed to:

"Despite these records, the USC Golden Bears were 1st and goal with 1:47 remaining and the Golden Bears did not score a game-winning touchdown in a game ending sequence that included three incomplete passes and a sack against USC.[6]

After Texas was picked over Cal for a Rose Bowl berth, the fourth-ranked Golden Bears earned a spot in the Holiday Bowl, but lost to Texas Tech, 45-31.[7] After the season, Rodgers decided to forgo his senior season (without a redshirt) to enter the 2005 NFL Draft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.69.145 (talk) 02:45, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from , 18 November 2011

The article incorrectly says that in 2002, while the quarterback for Butte College, Aaron Rodgers set a record for single season touchdown passes of 28. That is incorrect. Aaron Rodgers passed for 26 touchdowns - not 28. That can be verified by going to the Butte College Football web site, pasted below, corroborated by the Chico Enterprise Record, the local newspaper covering Butte College Football, also pasted. There has also been television coverage by television channels 12 and 24, local stations in Chico, CA.

The current record holder is Collin Ramirez, who to date has 27 touchdown passes in the season with one game remaining.

A link is provided to both stations' coverage of the record breaking.

http://www.chicoer.com/ci_19327051?IADID=Search-www.chicoer.com-www.chicoer.com Butte romps as Ramirez breaks Rodgers' record By TRAVIS SOUDERS-Sports Writer Posted: 11/13/2011 12:10:30 AM PST

Click photo to enlargeButte College quarterback Collin Ramirez (right), here throwing a pass during an Oct. 15 game as...«12»LOS ALTOS HILLS —

Not even Aaron Rodgers, perhaps the greatest Butte College quarterback in the program's history, can say he had a more prolific season than the one Collin Ramirez has had. And Ramirez almost certainly isn't done yet.

Ramirez threw for 225 yards and five touchdowns, reaching 27 for the season to break Rodgers' school record for touchdown passes in a single season, and the Roadrunners defeated Foothill College 37-7 Saturday to solidify their bid for a quality bowl game.

The Roadrunners await their postseason fate, which will be decided today.

Ramirez hit Jacob Corbaley and Nick Lonnegren for two touchdowns apiece, and also hit Shawn Conway Jr. for a 53-yard bomb in three quarters' worth of play, and Butte's defense came up with four interceptions and seven sacks in a regular-season finale to remember for the Roadrunners (9-1, 4-1 NorCal Conference).

"I'm really proud of Collin. A couple years ago, we thought he'd have a chance to compete for a starting job when we scouted him," Butte head coach Jeff Jordan said, "but to come in and break Aaron's record, that's a great feather in his cap. We've had a lot of really successful quarterbacks in this program and he's put his name up there with them."

Lonnegren's two touchdown catches were the ones that helped Ramirez tie and break Rodgers' nearly decade-long standard; the wideout first caught a post right over the middle for 53 yards with 2:38 in the second quarter, then later latched on to a tipped pass in the end zone on a 30-yard throw to make Ramirez the sole owner of the record. "It's cool, and it means a lot to me," Ramirez said. "Obviously that's a big name you're talking about. But I owe a lot of it to my team, and it's more important that we're 9-1. That's something to be proud of for everybody."

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:39, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

While I like Aaron Rodgers, there is a lot to fix for this article to approach GA status:

  • The backup seasons section is virtually unreferenced.
  • A lot of references are bare URLs, and need publishers, access dates, etc. added.
  • There's a high number of deadlinks that need fixing: see here
  • Youtube's not a reliable source usually; find a better source for the stuff that uses that.
  • "including lowest interception rate at 1.43%" rate (1.43%).
  • "during both the regular season (103.3), and in the post-season (112.6) – " and the postseason.
  • "He set single-game records of 6 touchdowns" six touchdowns
  • 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. Especially 2004 should be expanded, as it only hits on the USC game.
  • "After the season, Rodgers decided to forego his senior season (without a redshirt) to enter the 2005 NFL Draft." the redshirt part isn't needed, and I'd prefer a cite here, though I don't think anyone will dispute it.
  • "Rodgers also holds the school career record for lowest percentage of passes intercepted at 1.95%." This contradicts the 1.43% noted twice; if it's meant to be career than clarify.
  • "Despite these records, the Bears had 1st and goal with 1:47 remaining and could not score a winning touchdown. The game-ending sequence included three incomplete passes and a sack by USC." What do the records have to do with one drive? Either greatly reword or scrap entirely.
  • "impressing many NFL scouts. Who commented that he was a" the sentence starting with who feels jarring. Is it meant to be combined with the previous one? If not, reword the start anyway.
  • "over inflated due to playing in a Quarterback friendly system" overinflated...quarterback
  • "In addition to the fact that many teams drafting between second and 23rd positions had positional needs more pressing than quarterback, Rodgers' moderate height (6'2") may have contributed to his precipitous slide." cites needed for that stuff.
  • "Rodgers is one of six quarterbacks coached by Jeff Tedford to be drafted in the first round, joining Akili Smith, Trent Dilfer, Joey Harrington, and Kyle Boller." It says one of six but only five are noted; add the sixth.
  • "In August 2005 at age 21" the age isn't really needed here.
  • "Rodgers agreed to a reported five-year, $7.7 million deal that included $5.4 million in guaranteed money and had the potential to pay him as much as $24.5 million if all incentives and escalators were met." So he could get 4x as much as the contract was worth in incentives? I'm pretty sure that's not possible, so this needs rewording.
  • "Rodgers spent a disappointing 4–12 2005 season as the Packers' back-up quarterback behind Brett Favre." backup's one word, and remove disappointing; modifiers need to be used sparingly on sports articles.
  • "On November 19, 2006, Rodgers broke his left foot against the New England Patriots in a 35–0 defeat at home while filling in for an injured Brett Favre and missed the remainder of the 2006 season. Rodgers made a full recovery and was ready for the start of the 2007 season." what games did he play in in 2006 besides that, and what were his stats? Missing a good amount of info that could be useful in the first couple years.
  • "meaning Rodgers would remain the starter." would become, since he hadn't started a game yet.
  • I'm positive the personal life section could be expanded, giving how big a name he is.

This is an extensive list on things that need to be fixed, and I actually did not complete a read-through of the article. As a result I'm going to fail it as a GA. Once all these concerns are addressed, send the article in for a peer review before retrying for GA status. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 06:02, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

In the 2013 section, the wrong record is shown for heading into the final game of the season. Also 'fought their way back' is not really appropriate language for a wikipedia article, and in any case hardly describes going from 5-6-1 to 7-8-1.

Replace the phrase "receiving core" with "receiving corps". It is likely that the wrong homonym was used, judging by the definitions and usage of the terms "core" and "corps".

Definitions:

  • core: the part of something that is central to its existence or character.
  • corps: a body of people engaged in a particular activity.

Usage:

Punkstarman (talk) 12:17, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Done I don't think there's anything incorrect by saying core, "receiving core" would mean the core, the most important members of the receivers. However, your sources and a quick Google search show that "corps" seems to be more commonly used. I suppose using corps also allows for some ambiguity on which receivers were dropping passes - corps allows for any of them, while core would mean it was their best Cannolis (talk) 16:23, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Reviewer: Sportsguy17 (talk · contribs) 23:13, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


Hello, I will be reviewing this article. Let me take a first look-through and see what we have going on here. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 23:13, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

I've taken a first glance at the article and unfortunately, this is looking like this is going to be a fail. The 2011-2014 seasons are poorly sourced. They have some great information in them, but unless they're sourced properly, then whether it's good info or not is immaterial. Also, several [citation needed] and other similar tags are seen throughout the article. I can tell you the steps to take in order to get this to having a chance at passing, but this time around, I do not feel comfortable passing this article. @Church: If you want me to detail out what my issues are through a more in-depth review, I can, or I can leave it to you to figure it out. It's up to you. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 23:17, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Sportsguy17, the nominator hasn't edited on Wikipedia since last year. At this point, over a month after your review, I think this has to be considered abandoned; since it looks to be a fail anyway, you should probably do just that. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:50, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Closing comment

Nominator Church hasn't edited since December 2014, and reviewer Sportsguy17 hasn't edited since March 21, six weeks ago. Since the initial review listed a number of issues including citation needed tags and a clear lack of adequate sourcing in the 2011 through 2014 sections, and these continue to be issues, I'm closing the nomination, which does not meet the standards for being listed as a Good Article at this time. The article can be nominated again once it has been improved by addressing the issues raised here. (It can, of course, be nominated without doing so, but I'd consider that grounds for an immediate failure.) BlueMoonset (talk) 17:28, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

under 2004 in the "college career" section, it states "After a timeout and Rodgers's incomplete pass on third down, USC stopped Cal's run play to win the game." In fact, the source link shows that the fourth down play was an incomplete pass, not a stopped run play. The sentence should read "After a timeout and Rodgers's incomplete pass on third down, USC forced another incompletion on fourth down to win the game." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.72.235.4 (talk) 20:34, 14 July 2016 (UTC)


Under the 2007 year (next-to-last paragraph),it states Rodgers was rumored to be traded to Oakland for Randy Moss. As a long-time Packers sports writer I can attest to the fact that that so-called rumor never even happened - unless it was in the imagination of whomever entered it into Wikipedia. There clearly is no citation for it, since it never happened. An article from WI J-S made THAT perfectly clear on March 11, 2007.

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/29310724.html


"If the Packers were to offer a player, the source said the Raiders wouldn't have any interest in quarterback Aaron Rodgers but indicated that defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila or defensive tackle Corey Williams might have considerable appeal to them. The Packers insist Rodgers isn't available, anyway."

Take it out. I'd do it but have no wish to enter into some edit war.

Nuke unsourced claims

@Bigmoe797: Don't hesitate to trim out those unsourced claims. Especially if they aren't directly relevant to Rodgers.

"Although they had a respectable 6–3 record, the Packers were criticized for not being able to beat teams with winning records. They got their chance by hosting the 7–2 Eagles, who had the 4th highest scoring offense at the time and led the league in takeaways. Continuing their home field dominance, the Packers stomped out to a 30–6 halftime lead, and finished with a 53–20 blowout. The 53 points scored by the Packers was the highest total surrendered by the Eagles since 1972, resulting in the first pair of back-to-back 50 point games in Packer franchise history. The 2014 Packers became the only team to ever score 28 points or more by halftime in four consecutive home games."

I'd clip most, if not all of this paragraph. This is the article for Aaron Rodgers, not 2014 Green Bay Packers season. Lizard (talk) 04:39, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

@Lizard the Wizard: I agree, and I trimmed up that paragraph and I'll try to do the same with the rest as much as I can, but it's just so messy. Bigmoe797 (talk) 17:15, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Check out this version of Ben Roethlisberger from a few months ago. It was an absolute trash heap. It's still pretty bad. Lizard (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
@Lizard the Wizard: Oh my, I knew the current version was bad but that's just a monstrosity. To be honest, with the seasons being so exhaustive, is there a in-depth page of Roethlisberger's career to put them on or is that stuff already on the Steeler season pages? Bigmoe797 (talk) 18:30, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
(I have this page watched so no need to ping) They most likely aren't on the Steelers season pages. What happens is, editors will update player pages on a week-to-week basis without any regard for the significance of that week's game or performance. The result is an overly long page bogged down with insignificant info of little encyclopedic value, which violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Not to mention it's a bore to read.

Regarding Dating Danica Patrick

If we are going to add and mention that he used to Date Olivia Munn, I see it as only fair that his new relationship is mentioned as well. Especially when there are a number of sources (independent and including Danica herself) confirming it. I don't see how it's a WP:NOTTABLOID If it's true. [5] [6] [7] --Church Talk 07:40, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

One difference is that Munn was a long-term relationship, which would make it more WP:PROPORTIONal and less of a WP:NOTDIARY concern.—Bagumba (talk) 16:02, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
I dunno, I wonder if we're just being stubborn here. It's been widely reported and is common knowledge in the sports world at this point; it'd be odd for this page not to mention it. Lizard (talk) 16:08, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
I'm not arguing whether it's true. While WP is WP:NOTPAPER, it's also WP:NOTEVERYTHING. The more relevant question is when is a person's dating life worth mentioning, not trying to equate Patrick with Munn. (For the record, I have not said to exclude Patrick yet)—Bagumba (talk) 16:27, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
@Lizard the Wizard: Could you talk to User:Sabbatino and User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. I have oppose addition source content adding update content on her personal life. And also Wikipedia is not a dating history website. 2001:569:7C07:2600:9CAA:7C50:8DF1:A111 (talk) 01:31, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
What has this to do with me? Furthermore, I have no idea what are you talking about as I can hardly understand your sentence. – Sabbatino (talk) 13:30, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Again I pose the question of how this is Tabloid, or why Olivia Munn is included? I feel people are being very stubborn considering they have both confirmed it. Should we open up an RFC regarding the subject?--Church Talk 11:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
There should really be a discussion, which would determine when a relationship becomes notable and is worth mentioning. Just going to "automatic" mode and adding every person that someone has dated is just trivia. – Sabbatino (talk) 13:30, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Part of me does agree with that, but I'm trying to think from a readers perspective. Like Lizard said earlier, it's common knowledge at this point in the world of sports and it seems odd to not include it. I'll wait another day and then we may need to go to a WP:RFC on it --Church Talk 22:40, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
A reader that already knows that they are dating will not miss anything from it not being there. So the question continues to be when is it not trivial to mention it for someone who does not know. Per the policy WP:NOTDIARY: "For example, news reporting about celebrities and sports figures can be very frequent and cover a lot of trivia, but using all these sources would lead to over-detailed articles that look like a diary. Not every match played or goal scored is significant enough to be included in the biography of a person."—Bagumba (talk) 01:51, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Full transparency, a note was left at my talk page letting me know about this discussion. I would argue that it should be included for the following reasons:

  • Obviously, a lot of reliable sources have reported the relationship.
  • Both athletes are notable in their own right.
  • A relationship becomes notable when it occurs and is confirmed. How are we going to decide when a relationship is notable enough for inclusion (is a 1-year relationship more notable than a 6-month relationship, etc.)?
  • The issues that are brought up (NOTEVERYTHING, NOTDIARY, etc) would be an issue if there was an entire paragraph about them dating. A simple one line sentence stating the fact is sufficient and neutral.

I would recommend after the sentence about him dating Munn, it says As of January 2018, Rodgers is in a relationship with American professional racing driver Danica Patrick. or something similar. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:38, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

For the record, Sister Morphine recently deleted mention of Patrick also.—Bagumba (talk) 19:01, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

OK, did you look at the source? [8]. Patrick is publishing family photos with Rodgers in them. There is also this where she says "Yes, Aaron and I are dating" [9] Cheers, --SVTCobra (talk) 19:10, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
  • I have to agree with Gonzo here; there's been enough media coverage to warrant a single sentence in an article that currently has 13,125 words. C'mon, it's been covered by WaPo. Are we waiting for an official statement from the United Nations? Lizard (talk) 19:12, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 April 2018

Add This record which he currently holds to either his 2017 career paragraph or statistics paragraph

Rodgers isn't just the highest-rated qualified passer in NFL history, but no other quarterback is within eight points of his 106.0 rating. The gap that separates Rodgers from second-place Tony Romo is about the same as the gap that separates Romo from Matt Schaub, who ranks 13th all-time with a rating of 89.5.

Now, we can't really only compare Rodgers with his peers here because it's a different game. How else do you explain Romo being the second highest-rated passer in history and Schaub being 13th? It's safe to say that Joe Montana wouldn't have a 92.3 career rating in this era, and Rodgers wouldn't have a 106.0 rating in Montana's era.

Still, take a look at how Rodgers compares to guys who have been active during the same era

[1] PackFAN18 (talk) 10:34, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Not done. I'm not sure exactly what you want to add. It's already mentioned several times in the article that he has the highest passer rating in NFL history. Did you want to add all the above text? Because that's definitely a no-go as it's copied verbatim from the source you posted, so it'd be a copyright violation.

Curious as to what makes a relationship not "too trivial"? If one month is too trivial, is two months? 6 months? A year? When do you think it would become notable enough to add? Also remembering that reliably sourced coverage of the relationship will most likely be focused on milestones and will be hit and miss in the meantime. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:56, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

  • I'll see your Gah and up you an Ughhhhh... In all seriousness folks, neither side could give way on this incredibly trivial difference in content before resorting to an RfC pulling in editor time? Well, alright then--I lean slightly towards oppose. Frankly, I feel as though, project-wide, we have gotten a little too loose with including trivial details about the social lives of the subjects of BLPs, where said information does not relate to the subject's general notability. Outside of relationships that have hit a certain minimum threshold of WP:WEIGHT in coverage, I frankly don't think statements concerning which sports figures, models, and celebrities are snogging eachother are in any way relevant to the purpose of an encyclopedic review of a person's notability. That said, I reiterate that the difference of content advocated by the two different sides here is minuscule enough that I would have expected one side or the other to give way.

I've waited until near to the end of the RFC to see if there would be any material changes to the relationship given how long they had been together at the start of the RFC, but there haven't been, so a short mention cited to a reliable source should suffice here for now. If they have a low profile break up in the near future, then there is a good argument for removal. Iffy★Chat -- 10:40, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Threaded discussion

  • In regards to the NOTDIARY debate, I understand the dissuasion to the topic. Has there been any kind of precedent on this before? Was anyone here long enough ago to when Tony Romo began dating Jessica Simpson to know when that was included? Perhaps that will allow us to reach some sort of conclusion on a proper inclusion time. --Church Talk 21:45, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
I didn't want to dig so deep in the archives as Romo/Simpson, but I think the following can serve as a precedent: Alex Rodriguez' relationship with Jennifer Lopez was added within a month of them becoming "official" (see diff) and has stayed on his article ever since. --SVTCobra (talk) 23:23, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
We should avoid comparing other content. Aaron Rodgers is neither Alex Rodriguez nor Tony Romo, and Danica Patrick is neither Jessica Simpson nor Jennifer Lopez. Lizard (talk) 00:26, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
Agreed, Lizard. It should be based on policy, not precedent. And the policy cited by Bagumba states: "For example, news reporting about celebrities and sports figures can be very frequent and cover a lot of trivia, but using all these sources would lead to over-detailed articles that look like a diary. Not every match played or goal scored is significant enough to be included in the biography of a person." This is neither a diary entry about Rodgers and Patrick at the beach nor about their day at the Daytona 500. It is merely an acknowledgement that they consider themselves to be in a relationship, and it is not a one-night-stand or something of that sort. Cheers, --SVTCobra (talk) 01:06, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
Pinging Muboshgu, who took Derek Jeter to FA. Jeter dated a lot of celebs, so it would be informative to see how it was decided which ones got listed and which were filtered. I don't follow this TMZ-type news, but with a quick Google I found that Adriana Lima and Jessica Alba are not listed in Jeter's article. Are there others? Were there objective criteria used for Jeter that make sense for Rodgers?—Bagumba (talk) 09:08, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
I welcome the input. I doubt, however, that any of those were as public as this. SVTCobra (talk) 12:37, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Bucks ownership

I'm looking for input from more experienced editors here because I'm wondering 1) Should this news be included on the subject's Wikipedia page? And 2) If so, under what section would it go?

Here's the source: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23269313/aaron-rodgers-green-bay-packers-purchases-minority-stake-milwaukee-bucks

And a tentative suggestion on language: "On April 20, 2018, during a playoff game against the Boston Celtics, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was announced as a limited partner in the Milwaukee Bucks ownership group, making him the first active NFL player with an ownership stake in an NBA franchise."

Any feedback is appreciated. HPLeu (talk) 12:47, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I'd say it's worth a mention due to that last part: "the first active NFL player with an ownership stake in an NBA franchise." I don't see a section it could currently go under though; I'd either start a new section, something like "Other ventures," or rename the "Media appearances" section to "Other ventures" and include it there. Lizard (talk) 14:15, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
How about listing this in "Personal life" section with a new sub-section called "Ventures" or similarly? – Sabbatino (talk) 14:25, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Is it really part of his personal life though? And if we're making a new section anyway we might as well make it separate. Lizard (talk) 14:30, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
If it is not part of his personal life then what is it? He bought a stake in the team. No corporation or company forced him to do that. In addition, if we were to add a completely new section then it should be called "Business ventures" or something like that. – Sabbatino (talk) 13:28, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Postseason stats

His 2012 postseason stats are wrong. He started 2 games, not 1. Which means all of his 2012 postseason stats are wrong too.

Overview section

Jerry Stockton and Sabbatino, before we all get into an edit war over these changes, let's discuss this. Jerry Stockton, "Overview" sections aren't used in Wikipedia articles. General overview information should be added to the lead of the article, not in a separate summary section in the body of the article. Regarding your content additions, I don't think anybody disagrees that Rodgers has been listed as one of, if not the greatest, quarterback to play football. However, this a a controversial statement that is not a universal fact, so it needs to be backed up by reliable sources and inline citations. It also needs to be written in a neutral point of view. Instead of "Aaron Rodgers is the greatest quarterback ever", a more neutral POV would be "Due to his high level of play over an extended period of time, many football analysts have ranked Aaron Rodger as one of the best, if not the greatest, quarterback to play in the NFL" with multiple inline citations after the statement backing it up. I can't speak for Sabbatino, but these are the concerns I have with your recent additions. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:22, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: Well, I removed the "Overview" section, because that is as trivial as "Trivia" section would be. Moreover, all the records held by Rodgers are already listed in the "Awards and achievements" section. As for the statement about him being "considered by some to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time", I moved that to lede, because there is no better place for such statements, and Jordy Nelson, Johnny Unitas or Tom Brady pages are the best examples that such statements should be included in the lede. However, I do agree that this particular statement should be altered to a more neutral POV formation. – Sabbatino (talk) 16:18, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Sabbatino, just to clarify, I agree with the removal of the "Overview" section and the edits you made. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:41, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Career “high”

In the “transition to starter” section, it reads: “passing for 4,038 yards in his first season as a starter as well as throwing for 28 touchdowns and only 13 interceptions, which remains his career high as of the 2017 season.” 

“only 13 interceptions, which remains his career high” reads awkwardly. It could be cleaned up by saying his most INTs in a season or it’s his career worst. Career high sounds like it was his best season, no?

    In the infobox at least, MVP awards should only be listed unqualified if there's agreement by multiple organizations, per WP:NFLINFOBOX. Since only the PFWA has awarded an MVP so far this year, it should really be listed separately (of course, this will be moot in a few days once AP almost certainly announces Rodgers as their MVP...) Zrowny (talk) 00:02, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
    @Zrowny: It's strange that WP:NFLINFOBOX says to list selectors for MVP, but for none of the other awards. Now we have this dangling PFWA MVP on it's own line. Perhaps it was an oversight?

    @Bagumba: I haven't been a part of WP:NFL so I'm definitely not very familiar with the history of the infobox, but it seems like that changed in 2018, and I can't immediately find any discussion to change this. Personally, I definitely think it makes sense to leave out the selector, certainly in cases where a player won it multiple times. Zrowny (talk) 04:53, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Aaron Rogers' performance in the 2021-2022 NFL Season is limited to the first game in this article, and six have been played. The current article leaves his position as a starter into question, and he has not only been a starter but the Packers have won five straight games since. If his performance this season is to be left blank until it is finished, I have no objection, but as of now it is framed and stated in an entirely incomplete manner. His participation and performance in the current season should either be erased or completed, as of now it is neither, to the point of subjective animosity.

NBA champion

I am not sure that belongs in the career highlights and awards section for Rodgers. He is a minority owner. He isn't the prime owner. It's mentioned in his bio. Billy Krystal for instance has a ring for the Arizona Diamondbacks winning the World Series in 2001 but he doesn't have a career highlights box saying he is a world series champion (he played 1 day for the yankees too)

2019 season

How about adding he was rated 16th by his fellow teammates in NFL Top 100 Players of 2020?

No. He's been #1 before and it isn't there.

Pat McAfee interview

Rodgers appeared on McAfee today and explained very logically and coherently why he decided that it was best for his health not to get the jab, including that he is allergic to ingredients in two of the shots, and the third shot (J&J) was pulled from the market because of its dangerous side effects. He also mentioned that he has already cured himself of the strongest virus symptoms with Ivermectin and that he sees the that most of the impetus behind the virus push is politically-motivated. I suggest adding a few sentences on all that to the article. https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/11/05/aaron-rodgers-interview-pat-mcafee-vaccination-status-covid-19-immunized-ivermectin-joe-rogan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.69.229 (talk) 22:57, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Lack of balance

While Aaron Rodgers is of course American, Wikipedia is international and should avoid taking a national point of view. Internationally, Aaron Rodgers is only known for his conspiracy theories about Covid-19 and his lies about his own medical status. This should be mentioned in the lede, and probably have it's own section in the body of the article. Jeppiz (talk) 11:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

@Jeppiz: I agree it can be expanded in the body, quite possibly into its own section given his recent sitdown interview from today. The lede is a representation of the body though, and until it is expanded, it should not be included in the lede. On a side note, I'm not sure it's fair to say Aaron Rodgers is "only known for his conspiracy theories about COVID-19" internationally. Surely international sourcing has covered more than just the COVID-19 bit concerning Rodgers. ––FormalDude talk 11:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
@FormalDude: I agree with all you say. Of course NFL fans around the world would know him bit (speaking as a European) NFL nevers hits the news here apart from Super Bowl, it's not among the 30 most covered sports. Having had a look at several different European media (in the UK, France, Germany and Sweden), the only articles about Rodgers are for conspiracy theories, lies about his status, and his Covid (anecdotally, I had never heard about him before, and I think it's safe to assume the same goes for most people outside the US). Jeppiz (talk) 12:10, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Categories

Aaron Rodgers is currently placed in the Category:COVID-19 conspiracy theorists, but I'm not sure if he fits into that category. Just because he's unvaccinated doesn't necessarily make him a conspiracy theorist. 2001:569:55E1:8900:FDCB:2AC:B0CA:93B5 (talk) 03:38, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

tagged as a conspiracy theorist

At the bottom of his page Rodgers is tagged as a conspiracy theorist. This seems a little harsh. He is a football player. We can outline the notable events surrounding Covid 19, but I dont think those actions warrant him being labelled a "Conspiracy theorist".

Mistake I found

The pick percentage in a season record belongs to Tom Brady he threw 28-2 in 2017 while Aaron threw 25-2 so unless Aaron throws 29-2 or 30-2 it’s still not his record no offense just something I found to be an error that slipped through tbh that needs correcting. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 09:12, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello @47.157.236.115,
I understand how you came to this conclusion, but you're looking at is as the touchdown to interception ratio, Brady actually does have the record in. Pick percentage is defined as "percentage of times intercepted attempting to pass". Check out the links to Aaron Rodgers Pro-Football-Reference and Tom Brady Pro-Football-Reference, they have a column specifically for this stat. Brady's best interception percentage was 2016, when he threw 432 passes and only 2 of them were intercepted, a rate of 0.0046%. Rodgers' best interception rate was in 2018, when he threw 597 passes and only 2 of them were intercepted, a rate of 0.0034%. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:29, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Oh it was a record for passes not intercepted in a season rather than ratio thanks for clearing it up at times it can be close and far away in differences have a great day. 47.157.236.115 (talk) 08:38, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
