Aaron Rodgers may need another Super Bowl ring to consolidate his legacy in the NFL, two former football giants said before the NFC championship on Sunday.
Tony Gonzalez and Michael Vick were in agreement during the “FOX NFL Kickoff” show. Both former players believed that Rodgers would need another title to be considered in the upper echelon of quarterbacks who played in the NFL and were winners.

“Unfortunately, I hate to say that, yes, he does. There is no doubt about it. I just think … especially from the experts, I’m not saying that I agree with that, but he will be judged ultimately by how many rings he has and is one of the reasons I was hoping that Drew Brees would finally get that second, because it just puts you in a different stratosphere when you get the second, “said Gonzalez.
“Aaron Rodgers did everything very well. He set the tone for the NFL, that new era making players with their legs, that precision, all those good things. It would be the difference between Jim Kelly and Joe Montana, right? It was for the Super Bowl the same number of times and one has four rings. I think if you said who’s better, you’d say Joe Montana just because of the four rings. “

Vick said he agreed with Gonzalez. He said he asked himself “what if I only had one and what would that do for my career with regards to perception and what people think”.
“When you look at Aaron Rodgers and his career and what he was able to accomplish, the way he plays football, the whole skill set, all the attributes, you look at his resume and see a Super Bowl and it’s kind of unbelievable, I think he needs two just to cement his legacy and then be mentioned in the upper echelon with all the great ones that we always talk about “, he added.
Rodgers’ resume is better than most and he has been among the best NFL quarterbacks for some time. But he only appeared in the NFC championship four times, winning only once.
