Since man first made his appearance on this planet, it has been filled with followers who listen to people not because they know what they are talking about but because they do one particular thing well.
Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. That isn’t even a debatable point, the only thing that has kept him from the GOAT discussion is his lack of rings, but his actual skills on the football field compared to any QB from any era. Because of that, Rodgers believes he is always right about everything because he can throw a football.
This isn’t a new phenomenon, the country is littered with people who have a particular skill, and because of that think, they know better than everyone else.
Often, their followers (in this case, media and fans) believe their hero even when what he is saying doesn’t make any sense.
Rodgers, for example, has been upset with the Packers because they drafted a QB (Jordan Love) in the first round of the draft, but he totally ignores that the same Packers front office has done a magnificent job at putting together a team around Rodgers that is capable of winning Super Bowls.
In the last three seasons, the Packers are 38-9 and have appeared in two conference finals games, and are one of the favorites to make it to the Super Bowl this season. Most QBs would love to be in that situation, especially late in their career, but Rodgers continually slams the front office because they don’t kiss his ass enough.
Rodgers thinks he is smarter than he is. He isn’t a doctor or scientist, and when you publicly state that you are getting your advice from Joe Rogan, that means no one should be listening to what you have to say about a deadly virus. No one is trying to cancel him. No one is being mean to him. Every critique that is given to him, he has brought on himself, but he takes ZERO accountability for it.
I am glad ESPN’s Domonique Foxworth had the guts to bodybag him.
Here is a portion of what he said via Awful Announcing.
“Brian Gutekunst has loaded that defense with players. He’s protected Aaron Rodgers with a great offensive line. He’s got A.J. Dillon, a running attack that supports Aaron Rodgers. He’s got Aaron Rodgers a true No. 1 receiver, not No. 1 on the team, No. 1 in the league. All this is happening and he’s still like ‘Nah, I’m good, because you drafted that quarterback one time and it hurt my feelings, and you let one of my slot receivers go one time. We’ve got to get Randall Cobb back.’ Like, it seems kind of outrageous.”
“This, combined with the misinformation that he’s putting out, it just feels like he has this victim complex, that he wants everyone to feel sorry for him. He’s like ‘No, everyone’s jumping down my throat because I said something that was vastly against science and dangerous! Why are you so mean to me?! I just want to have a debate! Oh, this team won’t do all the things that I want! Why are you so mean to me, why do you treat me so bad?’”
“You are not the victim, Aaron Rodgers!
This was like Tupac at the end of the “Hit Em Up.”
I am surprised Foxworth didn’t mention Chino XL as well.
