RazorStar 4,025 Posted April 15, 2012 You know what to do here, there are only 8 players left, which means we should clear this in about a week's time, provided I'm not retarded and take another break part way through. As always, matches will close at 8 Eastern the next day so get your votes in. Our Match: 1.

vikesfan1 11 Posted April 15, 2012 While Justin Smith is dominant at his position, gotta go with the quarterback here. Aaron Rodgers could go down as one of the most accurate passers of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted April 15, 2012 I love Justin Smith, and these might be the two best players in the NFL going head-to-head in the elite eight, but the fact is that an elite quarterback has more of an impact on a football game than an elite player at any other position. And Aaron Rodgers was more than an elite quarterback this season; he had an all-time great year for NFL quarterbacks. He's going to win this tournament and I don't think anybody can stop him.

Thanatos 2,847 Posted April 15, 2012 What I want to know is who voted for Andre Johnson over Aaron Rodgers. Justin Smith and Rodgers are arguably the best at their respective positions. A-Rod gets the nod, though, He's simply too dominant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
