[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 805874, member: 11933"] I'm going to try to make this as simple as possible. Aaron Rodgers can at least at times be a tad condescending. He can at times rub a teammate or two the wrong way. He can be a little thin skinned. All of those things are true. The only difference? I don't give a damn. I like it. It's no different than some of the things that Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger, etc. have done over the years. Brady's never thrown a tantrum on the field? Manning's never thrown his offensive line under the bus? Big Ben doesn't point the finger in every direction besides his own? At the end of the day, Rodgers for much of his career has performed on an insane level. He's made the playoffs in every single season of his career (outside of his rookie season) in which he's played a game in week 16 or later. He's a 2 time league MVP, and a Super Bowl MVP. In other words, this guy knows what he is doing and he understands what is needed from a leadership standpoint. He might not lead in the way in which many of you would prefer that he does, but the results speak for themselves with what he has been able to accomplish. There's only been a handful of players in the history of the NFL to consistently make it to the playoffs with a chance to win it all as many years in a row that he has. That takes some leadership. That takes teammates buying in to him. That takes cohesiveness. That takes chemistry. So regardless of all the senseless yapping from pundits in the local and/or national media, I don't think there's a problem with alienating teammates. You notice how all of these guys come out and say **** whenever their time in Green Bay is up. You don't see any anonymous sources from current players saying that Aaron Rodgers has problems getting along with teammates. You've got a very small handful of quotes that always come from the same sources, and then others pick it up and run with it like it's the gospel. Rodgers isn't going to change. He isn't going to pretend to be something he's not. He is who he is. One thing you cannot accuse Rodgers of is not being real and genuine. If you don't have an issue with it when the Packers are winning, then why the hell do you have a problem with it when the Packers are losing? What this should tell you is that his "attitude" or being a "diva" isn't the reason the Packers are losing football games. THE MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
