Staying at 37 years of age, at the level you are Aaron Rodgers, is something within the reach of very few players in the history of the NFL.
A day like today 1983, was born in the city of Chico, California, the quarterback who starts in the ‘pole position’ of the defense of his throne as the MVP in the 2021 season.
The passing of the years does not seem to diminish, at least for the moment, the conditions of # 12 of the Green bay packers. In the current campaign he has accumulated 11 games played, where he pitched for 2,878 yards, 23 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, this with everything and that a commitment was lost for having tested positive for COVID-19.

Now that he turns 38, retirement seems closer and closer.
A-Rod will enter a stage where the vast majority of players are in decline, or at least far from their best version. Without counting to Tom brady, which is a separate case, the rest of the great quarterbacks of the 21st century set the worst records of their careers at that age.

In the case of Peyton manning, who left the NFL at the age of 39 after winning the Super Bowl title with the Broncos, had his worst performances just that season, where he was already struggling to make shipments that for much of his career were routine.
One of the legendary QB’s that remained at a similar level to what Rodgers has right now was Drew brees. At the age of 38, he played his last great course in the NFL, throwing for 4,334 yards and 23 touchdowns. That was the last time he managed to break the 4,000-yard barrier. Then he spent a couple more years in New Orleans with numbers down.
