Aaron Rodgers had some strong words today talking about the Packers' struggles

[polamalubeast]

ouch

[86WARD]

Wonder if he’s talking about Lazard not returning to the game…

[DesertSteel]

Jordan Love should start throwing in the bullpen.

[Mojouw]

I mean...he needs to be benched then.

Rodgers is not even trying to run the offense as called. He doesn't make reads, he doesn't do progressions. He looks for one guy, then throws a YOLO deep ball, and pouts at the sideline.

He's awful right now. He's always been a garbage person, but an amazing QB. Now he's garbage at that as well. One of the most talented QBs to ever play the game....but just so hard to root for because he's a massive jerk.

I agree

Roethlisberger got slammed for it for much less after the 2018 season!(Of course his comments on AB after the Denver was a big mistake but he and Tomlin had all the heat at the start for the AB's meltdown!)

Rodgers has been an all-time jerk since last year!

Top 5 biggest douches in the league. Possibly number 1.

I think he’s easily #1

[polamalubeast]

It will not happen but at 3-6 and with almost no chance to make the playoffs at this point,maybe it would been a good idea to take a look to Jordan Love.....

[polamalubeast]

[Born2Steel]

Was that a 4th down play?

[polamalubeast]

Was that a 4th down play?

I don't know but it would been likely a TD if Rodgers would called a run play on this play instead of trying to get a TD pass in your personal stats

[Born2Steel]

Or if the WR had run the correct route?

I mean his Parents do not even associate with him (nor does his brother last I knew ) that speaks volumes about the kind of person you are when your own mother wants nothing to do with you and you are rich (so that money could potentially aid them in a better lifestyle)

[Born2Steel]

I don't think A-Rod suddenly forgot how to play QB, and at an MVP level. Is he pretty pissed at the organization and how they are consistently letting 'HIS' guys walk in FA, or in straight up trade?(LB and DL for maybe the best WR in NFL) I totally believe that.

IF Rodgers is throwing games or putting in slack effort as a way of getting back at his FO, he needs to be benched and let sit out his career there. Just my opinion. You don't do that to teammates.

IF it is truly players around him not knowing plays, running wrong routes, dropping passes, etc...Then I think he has a legit gripe against the Packers.

I couldn't honestly tell you the last time I got excited about a Packers non-SB game anyway. So if the whole franchise went into the ditch I will lose zero sleep over it. I do see Aaron Rodgers as a generational talent, a 1st ballot MVP, and even as an extremely intelligent person. Football in a vacuum, he's one of the best. I would hate to see him leave all that over pride and pettiness.

If Rodgers wanted to keep some of "HIS" guys, he shouldn't have demanded $50 million per. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that if they take that big of a cut from the pie, there won't be much left for "HIS" guys. End of story.

Rodgers is a douche. Always has been.

He's a great player. Nobody is denying that. But let's not pretend that he had no idea that they wouldn't be able to afford other quality players after he signed that contract. He held a figurative gun at the head of the Packers to get that deal. He was a living, breathing soap opera for months. This is the result of his orchestrated actions. He created the very situation he is bitching about. Anyone as smart as him knows exactly what the ramifications of his contract would do to a salary cap roster.

Rodgers then points the finger at his coaches and at everyone else in the organization. I think it's completely gutless as he tries to cover up his own play that has not been up to his high standards.

[Mojouw]

He’s not putting in the effort.

Brand new WRs and Rodgers spent the off-season tripping and going on podcasts.

He can’t do what 25 year old him could and he refuses to change his game at all.

He’s refused to ever blame himself. It’s always someone else’s fault.

He doesn’t run the offense. He just takes one look, and then throws a YOLO go ball. He’s late, inaccurate, and throwing INTs as a result.

Don’t buy the media and Rodgers driven narrative about OL, new WRs, and phases of the moon. It’s predominantly an Aaron Rodgers problem. It’s sad and pathetic to watch the ego of a toddler destroy a career and the rest of a team’s season.

If I was running the team, he’d be benched, traded, and I’d role with Jordan Love. Doesn’t matter if I lost every game.

All fair and valid points.

I guess my thought was more about the other players that are there. Even if they are not making big money they have a job to do. That part of the Packers offensive woes is totally on them if they are truly not running correct routes and/or dropping passes. IDK because I don't watch the Packers. Just saying it is a legit gripe if that is indeed what is going on. If it's just douchey behavior over pettiness for not getting his way, that's a shame.

You probably get to see more of the Packers than I do, so I will completely defer to your observations. I was using a lot of "IFs".

[tube517]

Not surprised the Packers lost. After that OT win on Sunday they were due for a letdown anyways on top of sourpuss Aaron Rodgers shitty year.

[steel striker]

Rodgers is a first class jerk! Hard to root for a guy like that.

[DuckHodges]

Glad we didn't pony up for this guy. Figured it was just a matter of time, age combined with this guy wanting to go on drug benders during the offseason

[polamalubeast]

The reason(or the excuses)for his struggle this year?

Some rumors that Rodgers will be with the Jets next year and they just hire him as the Jets OC....

I can’t imagine Rodgers would go to the Jets.

This is not a bad team...This is just their QB play were awful in 2022

[86WARD]

They have a great defense and a nice young group of talent on offense. Just doesn’t seem like a situation Rodgers would go to. I think he wants something with more of a veteran presence…somethjng that would be an “easy job” for him.

[Mojouw]

FAVRE 2.0!

We’re 9 months from a dick pick!!

[Born2Steel]

Rodgers to the Jets would be fun, IMO. The Jets are not a bad team and they seem to have a good coach now. The AFCE would have Rodgers, Allen, Tua, and a dead last Patriots.

[Mojouw]

I would like to point out that Tomlin takes a ton of crap around here for hiring his football buddies and then sticking by them. Fair and I get why it upsets people...I really do.

BUT...Hackett just had one of the most objectively bad coaching performances on an NFL sideline in recent memory (non-Urban Meyer division) and he is almost immediately hired...by....his good buddy.

My limited and largely unimportant point is that is worth remembering that this is how this whole thing works at both the college and NFL level. It is not a meritocracy. It is a system of personal connections and nepotism.
