Aaron Rodgers was a massive variable coming into the 2025 season. Through two games we’ve seen some great moments and some tough ones as well. To former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky, Rodgers’ level of play is already clear. And there isn’t a middle ground for the 21-year NFL veteran.

“If he gets the ball out now, he’s gonna be a top-five player in the league,” Orlovsky said Thursday on ESPN’s Get Up. “If he has to hold the ball, for let’s say two-and-a-half seconds, and [has] those moments of, ‘I don’t see anybody open, I don’t know if anybody’s open, my eyes are gonna drop because I don’t want to get hit,’ he’s gonna be a bottom-five player in the league.
