I still like his comment of, if you are not on the wagon from the start, we won't want you later.
It may have been a little too honest. I was all for it.

It wasn't so much what he said.. but when he said it. The timing was poor and I am sure it drew some of the criticism and ridiculous things people held against him personally or said to him.
There was already blood in the water.. that comment was like throwing 5 buckets of chum in as well stirring up the frenzy.
That said... now getting to know him throw the three hour window and multiple stories about him, you can see that it was confidence more than being brash. At the time.. the fan base, had little to no history upon Aaron to work with and to have an understanding of the intent.
Kid has made few questionable decisions in his time as the leader of this team to have held it against him. All in all, he handled that situation and the pressure better than anyone could be expected to.
IMO, you have to respect that man for standing in that firestorm and not getting scorched as so many QB's do following a legend and under the terms he did so.
