1. Wall could come any season

At 41-years-old, Tom Brady is redefining greatness at the quarterback position. Despite his advanced age by football standards, he continues to put up great numbers and lead his team into Super Bowl contention. Can Rodgers do the same?

At 34-years-old, Rodgers still has a way to go to get to Brady’s age, but the proverbial wall could come at any time. It certainly has for others. This means the Packers’ window for a championship is closing with Rodgers’ abilities.

Rodgers certainly hasn’t shown any sign of slowing down yet. He’s still got a rocket for an arm and legs that work fairly well. His mind is also as sharp as ever. Still, the wall could come at any season and it could come fast. Just look at what happened to Peyton Manning. It’s worth keeping an eye on and the biggest reason 2018 is pivotal for Rodgers’ career.
