Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Aaron Rodgers And Desmond Bishop Are Super Bowl Champions; Rodgers Super Bowl MVP

via Mocksession; Aaron Rodgers can wear the championship belt for real now.

Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns, plus no interceptions to lead the Green Bay Packers to victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, winning MVP honors in the process. Again, it was Rodgers's ability to throw the ball on crucial third down plays (as he as his entire football career), throwing a 24 yard pass to Donald Driver on 3rd and 9 early on, a 29 yard touchdown throw to Jordy Nelson on 3rd and 1 to give Green Bay a 7-0 lead, and three crucial conversions in the 4th quarter (to James Jones, Nelson, and Greg Jennings) to help the Packers score their final 10 points.

Desmond Bishop did his job as well. Playing at the second level of defense while Clay Matthews did the play-making, Bishop finished with seven tackles, preventing Rashard Mendenhall and the Steelers tailbacks and receivers to get large gains and open up the run attack. He also made a crucial fourth quarter fumble recovery when Matthews stripped Mendenhall with Pittsburgh threatening, setting up the final Green Bay touchdown drive.

Two of the Cal greats are now world champions. Wear the championship belts well. GO BEARS!

Not only did he not throw an interception, he didn’t even come close. Pretty much every throw was where only a Green Bay WR could catch it. If his WRs made more of those catches we could be talking about an all time great Super Bowl QB performance.

Since I’m not a big NFL guy, I’m all for Aaron Rodgers making more history and be established as an all-time great (rather than just the greatest of the hour). He certainly has a young enough team to get it done (assuming that NFL gets its act together and there is no lockout). Desmond Bishop will also be a Packer for a few more year as well.

Rodgers is carried by his team. Trent Dilfer could put up numbers in Green Bays offense.
Rogers basically had the game handed to him by the refs. Color me unimpressed.
