We all know and understand Aaron Rodgers is a fairly smart dude. We also know he says things with purpose. We also know he's fully aware that the media is going to cling to his ever word. When I was reading people's reaction to reporters interpretations of Rodgers words, I had one thought on my mind. They're missing something.
Earlier today I watched both Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers post game zoom conferences and I'm convinced Rodgers said what he did with purpose. The duration of the conference came off like he was trying to protect his guys. Last week he said his future is a beautiful mystery. That's true for him, and you, and me, and everyone. No one knows their future. LIFE is that beautiful mystery. You think I'm going to deep, right? You're not following Aaron Rodgers then.
Rodgers knows he's going to be back with the Packers in 2021 and you know it and everyone knows it. He knows his salary vs Packers salary cap.
When Rodgers thanks the media for all their questions and what they do, I was thinking, hook, line and sinker. He knows.
Rodgers said the comments he did to try and bring the focus on him, not Aaron Jones fumbling, not Kevin King failing, none of that. He can handle the pressure and criticism and would rather it be flushed onto him, than his teammates
Why? Because he's the hero Green Bay deserves. Yes, the media will hunt him. Because he can take it. He's a cerebral guardian, a watchful protector. A Green Bay Packer!
This is what leaders do!
I have spoken!
