He also had a solid defense.
It’s completely overblown.

I don't think you understand Rodgers' issue. He's had decent talent, that's not what he's upset about. I'm not a huge fan of him myself, but his beef with the Packers' front office is totally understandable.
Remember all the reports we've seen of the Chiefs asking for Mahomes' input on personnel decisions and things of that nature? They do this when the guy is in his early years of his career, too. Not like he's been around for 10 seasons.
Rodgers has been with the team for 16 years, and he has never had a voice the way Mahomes (and now Brady in Tampa) have. He said in his presser he has had many elite players tell him they want to come play with him in GB. He tries to relay that info to the Packers and they basically tell him to pound sand and don't take advantage of it.
His interview was actually very interesting. He wasn't whining, just explaining his position, and he's totally correct in his assessment. The Packers have had a Hall of Famer at QB for 30 straight years now and seem to take for granted the fact that it's not actually as easy as they think to find those guys. You can't just draft the Jordan Love's of the world, throw a "G" on their helmet and assume you've struck gold. That seems to be the way they think.
That organization and fanbase need to go through 30 years of what we just went through. They are due for it, and they need to be brought back down to Earth a little bit.
Anyway, I'm just glad the whole thing is over. Rodgers is definitely overrated and has had very few clutch moments in his career aside from a few lucky Hail Mary plays, but he has still carried that team for a long time. I'd love to see him end up in Denver in 2022 and watch Mahomes kick his ass a few times per season for the next few years. At least it would make things interesting again.
