Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is one of the best in the business at drawing the defense offside with a hard count and taking advantage of the free play. It's a tactic that every quarterback employs, but Rodgers has it down to a science. You'd think Packers fans would love that (and most surely do), but...

This whole thing is ridiculous, but it shows where Aaron is at, insulting a fan. 👎

“I read some dumb things on here from time to time but wow, Dick Klatt from Big Bend.” Rodgers included a GIF featuring the line from The Hangover, “You are literally too stupid to insult.”

Players can't have opinions unless they are political and completely agree with ME! (whoever the "me" is.)
Players can't call out fans after all we the people pay their boated salaries and they have to stand there and take whatever we fling at them.
Players can't have lives outside of what little we see of them. We know their names so they should recognize us for the great intellectual geniuses we are and buy us non fat soy lattes whenever they see us walking down the street.

Funny stuff.

The guy has the right to share his opinion.

Just because AR wants to have a little fun before he shuts down his twitter account for the season is no reason to judge him one way or the other.

LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!!!

The off season, quit with the over analysis of every little thing.

Your time will come soon enough.

If you put your opinion out there, you should be willing to take the criticism.
Quite frankly, I agree with Rodgers. I mean, if you can gain a free 5 yards, or maybe even a FREE SHOT down field, how can you find fault with that?
It keeps the defense off balance, and I see that as a HUGE positive!
I think whoever belittled Aaron for that must be either a Vikings or Bears fan.

Isn't the idea to use your brain as well as your physical attributes to win the game?

What we find troubling is that our star QB has to get all snotty like a spoiled little girl. This isn't the first time it's happened. Aaron has a long history of taking things too personally and overreacting to criticism.

He's a Cali-boy. Liberal dude. If he sees something he doesn't like, he'll say so.

He's not our child. Even as diehard fans we have no right to censor him. Let him exercise his freedom of speech, like all these other people are doing on Twitter.

Don't see any problem at all. Some random idiot challenges his professionalism for a stupid reason which got published. That is a pretty offensive thing for someone who takes their work seriously. Thought the response was funny and I prefer stuff like that over ignoring it or some robot pc response

It is yet one more example of his overall diva attitude, which has been referenced by his former WRs in the past, as well as others. We arguably saw it last year when he got his yes-man calling plays, which ended badly, then also the past two seasons we've seen him pouting and getting into it with his HC.

I personally would like Aaron to dial it back and put the team before his statistics and ego. But what do I know? [horseow]

A bunch of wimps. So the man has an opinion and the man shared it publicly. Bitch when you get "robot" responses. Bitch when you get genuine responses. Quit bitching already and just find some enjoyment out of the small things.

Nerd, I don't disagree with what you said. If Aaron had chose to answer your way I would be fine with it. But I don't have any problem with the way he answered either. From my point of view it is a stupid comment from a fan. I'm sure there are many players and coaches that would answer your way and many that would answer Aaron's. Belichek would probably say it doesn't even deserve and answer. To each his own.

So let me get this straight.... Fans like us can criticize players' character on Twitter and forums like this and it's okay. However, Rodgers (just another person like everyone else) can't? Makes zero sense....

It's sad we live in an age where anything said by a player that isn't 100% politically correct or by the book is immediately found offensive to some people...

Do you have the right to? Yes, assuming your company doesn't have a policy against said things that you signed a contract on.

SHOULD you, and are you being dumb if you're not mindful of when and how you're exercising your right?
