After winning back-to-back MVP accolades, Aaron Rodgers is criticized after an initial couple of weeks for some or the other antics. First, he blamed his younger and inexperienced younger offensive unit for not being able to hold the attack. Just when he had to show how things were to be done, Rodgers failed miserably against the worst-rated defense in the league.
Aaron Rodgers, Packers scored only 9 points against the Detroit Lions and registered a five-game losing streak. A scenario which took for the first time since 2008, when A-Rod was only a first-time full-time started.
Stephen A. Smith said on the latest episode of First Take, “I applaud Mr. Rodgers for thinking like me, because Mr. Rodgers doesn’t give a damn about what we think. And guess what, Mr. Rodgers, we don’t give a damn about what you think right now.….he is the greatest quarterback I have ever seen. Period. That’s how I feel about him. But he has looked like absolute trash, for the most part, this season.”
Smith sounded off on Rodgers because how poor he has been, even though he has been in pressured situation in the past. Just like everyone, the former too had major expectations from Aaron yet to see him failing so miserably, he has no choice but to call him out for his game plays and acumen.
Smith added, “They got the 27th-ranked offense, that is a blemish against you, as we expected better because your greatness demands better. We know what you bring to the table. We know how phenomenal you are.
“And don’t all of a sudden give us some nonsense about what people don’t know when they were praising you.”
