Everyone who watches these two QBs from the start of their careers will be locked into this one. The ironic thing is one went to Junior College (then Cal Berkeley) and the other a highly-decorated Big Ten School. One was nearly left in the "Green Room" on Draft Night as he continued to slide. The Other got the call and was nearly Mr. Irrelevant (the notorious last pick of every NFL Draft).
Then you look at this even closer its fuels their fire as both of these QBs with all these accolades are still self-motivated and never satisfied and that comes from years past. Current Redskins QB Alex Smith at least on NFL Draft Day was better than A-Rog. After watching Tom Brady's 40 run at the NFL Combine it was NFL Network's Rich Eisen running the 40 before Eisen actually ran it. (Like a 40 Time matters to Brady then and now). Brady was buried on the bench when he arrived in Foxborough and no one though he had a shot at playing before or after he arrived except Tom.
A-Rog starred at Cal Berkeley and ripped up the Pac-12. Tom Terrific played at Michigan Ann Arbor and when he played was off the charts but one State of Michigan legend of a student-athlete (Yankees Hot Corner and former Michigan QB Drew Henson) had Brady on the bench and Brady always was left to bail Henson's bad starts out on occasion.
Rogers was drafted 1st round and sat behind one Brett Favre and didn't pout but learned behind #4 camp after camp and game after game as Favre's consecutive game streak was long and real. Brady told Pats Owner Robert Kraft he was the best draft pick he ever made and I am sure Kraft would tell you I remember Tommy saying that and looking at Tommy with a blank face like then what son!
Brady got his turn and has never looked back after then Pats QB Drew Bledsoe got hurt and was on season-ending IR. Brady even survived the AFC Championship Game that same year and the "Tuck Rule" along with a "W" came out of that one. Please do not ask fellow Wolverine and then Raiders CB Charles Woodson if it was a fumble because he caused the fumble.
Now we fast forward to November 4th, 2k18 in only their 2nd meeting as both are by most folks estimation the best "Monsters Inside the Pocket" to ever play this game. High praise but forget the rings and things as these two are off the charts and we get to see then go head to head. Two entirely different games but the same results NFL Quarterbacking at its highest level.

Packers know they can play with anyone as they had the L.A. Rams right where they wanted them last week and lost not taking care of the little things or that one little thing that is no longer around! A-Rog and his ground game must have some sort of consistency and his WRs not named DeVante Adams must be sharp.
Patriots need "Gronk" in this one and he would be a welcomed edition to a passing game that is maybe 3 deep not counting RB James White. Packers Front must go at Brady up the middle and keep that Pats Ground Game ground talking Mr. White.
Playing field position by the kicking game has to be in play as both teams want to give both QBs long fields to drive...
Turnover Margin who wins and who throws the first INT in this one any ones guess? Having seen both for sometime now there will be no INTs...
Winner...
Packers 38 Patriots 34 F...A-Rog gets Brady again as the Packers unlike the Pats could ill afford to fall to 3-4-1 and "Urgency" has to be all over that Packers Locker Room especially after last week
Note: Could this be a Super Bowl 53 Preview that is going down in Atlanta in February 2K19?
