How will Packers players respond to Rodgers' public criticism?

It's now clear that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has concerns regarding the commitment, or lack thereof, that some of his younger teammates have been demonstrating. As the Packers prepare for a second straight Thursday night game, the question becomes whether his decision to make those concerns public will make a difference. Presumably, Rodgers opted to...

If his WRs "prepare" more, will he start getting the ball to them on target?

So how will the players respond? Will they buckle down and work harder now that their quarterback has called them out? Or will they resent Rodgers for trying to embarrass them on up to two different occasions — including one that resulted in, at best, a conclusion drawn by those hearing the words that Rodgers is concerned that the younger players are spending too much time playing video games?

There is plenty of blame to toss around but Aaron calling out players publicly really can't end well. The old saying never throw the first stone when you live in a glass house really apply's here Aaron and taking this to the wild pack of Hyenas known as the media is a fools move. You're a fantastic QB Mr. Rodgers but right now I have to question your leadership. Clean up your own house before you criticize another's .

So we fault Mike McCarthy for not holding anyone accountable because he doesn't name players publicly and blame them publicly in press conferences.

Now that Aaron Rodgers has publicly commented on possible prep problems, he is faulted for lack of leadership and throwing teammates under the bus.

I get it. Really. I do.

I hope Aaron is chewing ass and taking names in practice and meetings but there is zero reasons to take it to the press. First his old lady does some talking for him and now this...tell me how this spells LEADERSHIP?

We really need to stop getting so butt hurt over every word uttered or not said in public. I'm guessing that outside of the 20 minutes of the week he has a mic in his face he has private conversations with teammates and coaches. I'm guessing this message has been delivered privately and is warranted. We extrapolate so much from one of thousands of sentences people say in a week.

Did he call out anyone in particular? Was he over the top?

I'm not kissing his ass, but good grief we're way too sensitive about this stuff.

Lame article, all smoke an mirrors. Show me the quotes that Rodgers "publicly" made, then we have something to talk about. Until then this is tabloid-quality bullshit not even worthy of discussion. This is all predicated on, as the article calls it, a "suggestion" that Chris Collinsworth made, and a "not unreasonable conclusion" made by the author. To me this reeks of a huge stretch by the author, who is seeking clicks. At this rate he ought to be a political writer, he seems to have a knack for it.

As you said, if Aaron Rodgers said " Davante sucks and is not getting a Christmas card if he drops another pass," fine, there's substance. This is just begging for a news story from virtually no substance.

During a recent interview, Player X was quoted as saying he and a few teammates were hanging out the previous night at his house, playing video games and eating pizza.

The next day at an online forum, Player X was criticized for ignoring team dietitians, staying out till all hours of the morning, being too drunk to leave his house and then looking at nude pictures of Kate Upton.

Time to start bringing in veteran free agents that want to win super bowls. Having the youngest team in the league every year isn't putting trophies in the case.

Zero2Cool (now) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (9m) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (21m) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (1h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (1h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (1h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (2h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (2h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (3h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (3h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (3h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (3h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (3h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (3h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (4h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (4h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (4h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (4h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (4h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (4h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (4h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (4h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (4h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (4h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (4h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (4h) : Packers will get in

beast (4h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (4h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (4h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (6h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (7h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (8h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (17h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (18h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (21h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?
