Packers' McCarthy on Rodgers: 'I've never seen a quarterback ... play at this level'

Things are looking up for Mike McCarthy and the Green Bay Packers.

The team sits atop the NFC North with a 10-3 record, and has a young, bruising running back who can fight for tough yardage and a pair of receivers who are sure to finish the season with at least 1,000 yards apiece.

Oh yeah, they also have Aaron Rodgers - arguably the best quarterback in the NFL.

"I've never seen a quarterback or been a part of quarterback play at this level," McCarthy told Ryan Wood of the Press Gazette on Tuesday. "Obviously 2011, the numbers speak for themselves, but his command, his responsibility level is higher than it's ever been. His production, to me, is higher than it's ever been."

Rodgers has been masterful in his efficient destruction of opposing defenses this season, completing 276 of 416 passes for 3,652 yards, 35 touchdowns and a mere three interceptions.
