Embrace Debate: Aaron Rodgers’ Quotes on Quarterbacks or the Media
Aaron Rodgers is having himself a great season. He is an MVP candidate competing with the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, and Josh Allen. Rodgers is 4-0 for the first time since 2015, and something tells me he is going to enjoy this bye week. Even though this is a different bye week where players cannot really leave and they have to get tested each day, Rodgers will still try to find time for some fun. Unsure what that will be, but maybe catch up on some ‘Ted Lasso’. Rodgers did his usual Tuesday sitdown with Pat McAfee and delivers two of my favorite quotes from him. Let’s debate which one is better.

IN ONE CORNER: Quarterback down years – This is when you know Rodgers is feeling himself. This is just such a cocky quote but he means everything from it. And it’s true! Ryan Tannehill had a career year, and it pales in comparison to what Rodgers has done in his career. It is an amazing shot to half of the NFL quarterbacks. The next two probably don’t fall in that category but the two after certainly do.
IN THE OTHER CORNER: Rodgers vs. the Media – In my opinion, Rodgers has a pretty good relationship with the media. It’s not that bad honestly. He meets with them every Wednesday and most of it is cordial. When Rodgers makes this comment, this is more to do with the Mike Florio’s, Skip Bayless’s, and Mike Greenberg’s of the world. That is who he is directly talking to here. Colin Cowherd can get it too. I CANNOT wait for which one of these people criticize Rodgers for saying ‘fuck’ here.
WINNER: It’s the quarterback quote. People call out the media all the time. For Rodgers to call out the position, gives him the title.
