With all the negativity currently going on, not just in our homeland as of late, but across the world as well, nobody would blame you if you wanted to take a break from all of the noise.

Being around the constant pollution of horrible news, whether it be in your area or in another state, not only is extremely bad for your stress levels and blood pressure, but hey, it's just not good. Settling down and tuning out the outside world can be helpful to your overall mood.

In order to help you do that, the least I can do is not just provide you something informative that's happening in the Packers' locker room pre-practice or post-practice, or offer my insight on the team structure and 2017 outlook (because who wants to read that?), but remind you how gifted you are to have Aaron Rodgers in a green and gold uniform.

This isn't to take away from the real world happenings that require our complete and undivided attention, however, we're human. Sometimes, a mental escape is a necessity.

The otherworldly quarterback of the Green Bay Packers is good. Very good. It's almost unfair how good he is. He's the living embodiment of what it means to truly have the most talented quarterback in NFL history, and although some may disagree, Rodgers is undoubtedly in the conversation.

Rodgers and co. have made the playoffs for every single year since 2009—eight straight trips. The only year in which they fell short was Rodgers' first year as the team's starting signal-caller in 2008.

En route to these eight straight postseason appearances and one Super Bowl title to boot, Rodgers has eclipsed some pretty remarkable milestones and statistical feats along the way you may or may not have known.

In 10 playoff games since 2012, Rodgers has thrown 21 touchdowns to just six interceptions, averaging 267.7 yards per game and sporting a 96.02 passer rating. In that same span, however, the Packers went 5-5. Okay, that's not very positive of a result, but, you get the picture. Rodgers is good at football.

Rodgers has thrown just 14 passes when trailing with less than two minutes to go in any regular season game since 2014. He threw just one pass in that situation in all of 2016. Basically, the Packers don't often find themselves trailing late in games, which coincides well with their 32-16 record in that same span.

From weeks 2-14 (12 games) during the 2014 season, Rodgers threw 34 touchdowns to two interceptions and completed 67.1 percent of his passes. He finished those 12 games with a 120.6 passer rating.

Also in 2014, Rodgers lit up the NFC North in the six games he faced divisional opponents. In those games, he completed 69.3 percent of his passes with a 137.5 passer rating. He threw 18 touchdowns. Not a single interception. One of those games included the 55-14 stomping of the Bears at Lambeau Field in which Rodgers threw all six of his touchdowns in one half of football.

Since 2014, the tune remained all the same just as it did during that lone season. Rodgers has thrown 45 touchdowns and four interceptions in that span, which is an 11.25-to-1 ratio. He completed 64.8 percent of his passes with a 109.2 passer rating. To think, had it not been for the dismal (by his standards) year Rodgers had in 2015, those numbers would be even more astronomical.

When playing in the confines of Lambeau Field from 2011 to present day, Rodgers has thrown 113 touchdowns (no, that's not a typo) to just 17 interceptions (that's also not a typo). Rodgers hit 67.5 percent of his targets and held up a 115.1 passer rating while the Packers went 36-7.

The Packers have also executed the no-huddle offense to a T when trying to speed up the pace of the game. In those situations since 2013, Rodgers has thrown 554 passes. 40 of them went for touchdowns and only four of them went to the other team, whereas 68.4 percent of them overall were completed to his own receivers.

Just last season, Rodgers was essentially flawless in the red zone. He completed just over 60 percent of his passes for 31 touchdowns. Not one interception.

Since presuming his gig under center with the Packers in 2008, Rodgers has thrown eight interceptions. That's kind of a lot, but yet again, it kind of isn't given the time span. How about when you throw in the fact that those eight interceptions are almost transparent compared to his 195 red zone touchdowns?

Since 2011, his numbers look more like 140 touchdowns to just seven interceptions. A 20-to-1 ratio.

As aforementioned, the Packers are 32-16 since 2014 with Rodgers. In those 32 wins, he's thrown 83 touchdowns to a mere six interceptions with a 113.5 passer rating.

Now, for those who still fully live and die by the "Rodgers is a choker in the playoffs" narrative, this next stat line should tickle your fancy.

In Rodgers' 16 career playoff games ('09-'16), he's thrown 36 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 63.5 completion percentage and sported a 99.4 rating.

In Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's case, his first 17 playoff games ('01-'07) offered a different story. He threw 26 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, 63.3 completion percentage with an 88.0 rating.

Of course, these are from two different eras of quarterbacking. Also, it may be unfair to compare Rodgers in his prime to Brady's early years sans 2007 when he set multiple passing records.

Take Rodgers' 16 playoff games from above, along with Brady's last 16 instead:

35 touchdowns, 16 interceptions, 62.6 completion percentage and a 90.9 rating.

Each and every person in "Packerland," as Rodgers would call it, is spoiled to the highest degree and has been for the past two decades. The stellar quarterback play that has come through the state of Wisconsin is something fans of many other teams—and I mean many other teams—drool over.

Hopefully, this article that went through a variety of number-crunching took your mind off of the tumultuous world we live in. For now, and for many, sports such as football is and has proven to be an escape from reality.
