Interesting that him & Jermichael Finley are really the only former teammates that have anything negative to say about him. Everybody else talks about how great of a leader and friend he is. James Jones loves the guy.

Finley's issue is simply an intelligence issue, as Finley mentally doesn't understand why Rodgers demanded such high practice and trust standards on them, as Finley was always the most talented guy, just get Finley the ball, anyway possible... not really in any depth thinking on this.
KGB's issues are that clearly he's crazy (maybe too many blows to the head), but seems to be part of an extreme religion group, which I believe is cited as a terrorist group in some parts of the world.
Anyways KGB religious beliefs seem to include males run the family and he should have full authority over his ex-wife and kids (and since he didn't agree to the divorce she is his wife, not ex-wife). Also in the United States he is only bound by the United States Constitution. No other federal, state or local laws are recognized by his religious group, as being authority to them, and yes he has went to court and attempted to argue this to a court when two of his "disciples" showed up with loaded guns at his children Christmas play, which KGB sees as illegal because he forbid his children from being in the play and as male he runs the family (despite I believe his wife having full custody of the children).
But anyways, it seems like KGB and Rodgers didn't see eye to eye, and based on their personalities they both probably thought it was a good idea to sit down and talk about it, until realizing KGB is crazy and that going absolutely no where.
And then their is Jennings, which is the only even half credible complaint....
Jennings complaint which was more than Rodgers at first, was that people never gave him the credit he deserved, that he as a rookie came in and started making plays day 1 and didn't have to learn the system muliple years like all the other rookies but got it down quickly and knew it year 1. And despite this, the QBs always got all the credit instead of him.
And this is totally true, Favre and Rodgers totally did get all the credit. Especially when you consider Jennings was working out and trash talking with the likes of Larry Fitzgerald... which Larry always could go back to, yeah but you played with HOF QBs for your entire career and look what I've had to play with.
Then the transition from Favre to Rodgers was supposively a rough one for some of the players, as Favre would like to the coaches to protect and cover up for the players... with Favre taking blame for other guys errors. Oh he ran the wrong route? Nope, I told him in the huddle to run that route, that's on me. Where Rodgers didn't lie to the coaches at all and therefore didn't cover teammates butts at all, so players got a lot more chewing out by coaches. As an outsider, I think you can argue this either way, but as a WR, I think it's easy to see why WRs would hate this, one moment they're free to try to make plays and don't get yelled at as their QB covers their butt, to now all that's gone, and he's getting praised more than me.
Plus let's not forget, I believe even Rodgers own words (and Donald Driver's too), Rodgers came in smug, and bragging about Wonderlic test and rubbing people the wrong way.
So I think Jennings probably certainly had a right to have an issue with Rodgers at one point. Though that point should of disappeared a long time ago, and he should be able to say we're not friends, we don't keep in contact and give his expect opinion without bringing his past issues up.
