Aaron Rodgers -- Moust Valuable 'Stache Award Goes to ...

Aaron Rodgers has been red-hot over the last month, and the fuel for his performance can be found in the magical facial hair of one man ... SAM ELLIOTT!

The Green Bay Packers QB broke down famous moustaches with Jim Rome -- in honor of Movember -- and crowned Elliott's the most inspirational of all time ... and even cited its performance in "Tombstone."

Rodgers also shouted out a couple other celeb 'staches during the Rome interview, which airs tonight at 10 on Showtime.

By the way, Rodgers' moustache is in the middle of an NFC-best 5 game winning streak.
