Aaron Rodgers will make his 100th career start at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
In case you haven’t been paying attention to the first 99, you’ve missed some pretty stellar play. We don’t use that descriptor lightly, either.
Here are a couple stats to put things in perspective.
Most Pass TD 1st 100 starts
NFL history:
Aaron Rodgers 219 (99 games)
Dan Marino 214
Brett Favre 194
Tony Romo 189— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) December 4, 2014
Already did that! Rodgers and a couple Hall of Famers. Oh, and Tony Romo, but we’re going to choose to ignore him.

Alright, this list is less impressive. Any list with Matt Ryan in the top 10 is unimpressive by default. Or does it just totally lack personality? I’m not sure.
And somehow that clown Romo is No. 1. I mean, if Rodgers doesn’t throw for at least 293 on Monday night, then we may just have to forget all of this praise we’re heaping on him.
The only list Tony Romo should be No. 1 on is career 8-8 seasons.
Seriously, Rodgers may not be in very good company in that last category, but that doesn’t make what he’s done as a passer thus far in his career any less impressive.
Especially considering this.
