The Pats have taken exactly 3 O playmakers guys in since they got Brady - TE Daniel Graham, RB Laurence Maroney and WR N'Keal Harry in the first round. Multiple SB wins.
Rodgers is as overrated as they come, he's had good weapons. If he wants to blame anyone blame himself and Packers poor later round drafting.

Heath Miller had a rock-solid 11 year career and Santonio Holmes was a Super Bowl MVP. Mendenhall had 3 good years in Pittsburgh and, if not for his fumble in the Super Bowl against the Packers, they might have won another ring. It's not like those guys didn't help ...
saying "Rodgers never had any weapons" would be dumb of course, wasn't my intention either, just to be clear. He's had plenty of good receivers, I just found the stat interesting. Never getting help in the 1st round only to then see a QB taken in the 1st round when you're still going strong, that's got to sting.
