- I think this has a chance to be another legacy game, especially for both these quarterbacks. And honestly, if you're comparing these guys, because we do that to all of them, I think Rogers is the one who needs it more. I'm really looking forward to it.

- Yeah. Well, I mean, in terms of the overall legacy, obviously Rogers doesn't have the hardware that Tom does. But I think, you know, for Aaron to have the season of perfection that he has-- and again, I'll reiterate. I really, truly believe this may be the best season the guy's ever put together. For him to cap that off with, say, an MVP, to cap that off with a Super Bowl run and maybe a Super Bowl win changes the dynamic of the conversation, I think, around Aaron Rodgers from great quarterback in his era, one of the best in his era, to--

You know, once you-- I think if you can notch those two Super Bowls, and you've won league MVP, and you've done everything else that Rodgers has, you've got to start to talk about that guy and the greatest ever echelon. And to me, that's really what's on the table.

Tom's done everything. Like, Tom's going to be there, no matter what. We're going to talk about him in the GOAT conversation for the rest of time. Aaron--

- Just like Montana.

- Yeah, just like Montana. Aaron's in the great conversation. He's in the iconic conversation. But I think once-- you know, if he notches that second Super Bowl and wins another MVP, you start to talk about where does he fit in the greatest ever, ever.

- Absolutely. You need two in this league to like really-- to really earn that respect because so many of the great ones have won two, whether it's Troy Aikman or Terry Bradshaw or, like you mentioned, Joe Montana--

- John Elway.

- John Elway, you know, like, that matters, man. It really does. So now there have been some greats that's just won one. Like, that's happened too. But one way to solidify yourself kind of in that mix is by winning multiple.
