Anyone think that Rodgers might have already expressed this feeling to Kampman, and was just restating what he thought when asked the question?

I would almost guarantee he did. But again, the comment he made was based on a hypothetical, not an opinion. The only opinion he stated was that he thinks AK will excell in the scheme.

They probably didn't go over that exact scenario, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had some in depth talks somewhere along these lines, there supposedly good friends right?

Wow. Rodgers must have woke up on the wrong side of the friggen planet. Almost every comment was argumentative and aggressive. Kampman might have not said anything, but Rodgers said all the wrong things. I would expect McCarthy and the coaches to have some words to say to Rodgers over this. Personally I find these comments to be worse than his get on board comment, because this is an "attack" on a teammate. And you never, ever attack one's teammate. This is not how you build camaraderie. It did seem that Rodgers sounded like he didn't want to be on the show from the start though. Even so, very, very poor form here Mr. Rodgers.

First off, I didn't read all four pages of this thread so I don't know if someone has brought up this point.

My read on Rodgers' "tone" is different. I believe this in my gut (and my guts are all I've got): Rodgers and those guys were playing off a particular vibe -- one that shouldn't be seen as unfavorable. Rodgers was being a little sarcastic and the interviewers were being intentionally silly. I don't know if my point is salient here: I'm trying to say that it was supposed to be like that. Can anyone see that as well? Just wondering. Even when Aaron said something to the effect of: "Do you have one real question for me? ... blah blah because otherwise I have to go." You thought he was being serious? I don't. My personality is the type to ask a question like that when I don't mean ... implying that I'm joking -- what I think Rodgers is doing here.

I really don't think we should get in a tizzy over Rodgers' comments on AK74. In saying that, I assume it's unfair to judge the situation because we don't know the absolute nature of Rodgers and Kampman's relationship. If it's possible that Rodgers and Kampman are good friends, then I don't think it takes much to see how the comments were appropriate. If, for instance, Kampman is good friends with Rodgers but he is also reluctant about the 3-4 isn't it appropriate that Rodgers bring up how a move the transition will help him out? Again assuming it's possible that Rodgers and Kampman are close, is it out of line for Rodgers to suggest how Kampman might handle the situation next time (and avoid a week of questions and stress from the media)?

Maybe I'm going too far out on a limb here. It's just nothing in this interview struck me as particularly out of line -- so it struck me even more when there were so many disappointing (hostile, even) responses.

Geez..if Brett Favre said the same thing, everyone would have been patting him on the back for being a team leader.
Aaron Rodgers says something, and he's the devil.
Go figure.
Brett Favre told how he felt about Sterling Sharpe and Javon Walker and was praised for it.

And it's not because you or I are Favre haters (in fact you and I are both big fans). You get a +1 because I thought this exact same thing. Nice one, Alan.

Don't worry guys it will come out that it was all a misunderstanding and the media took it and twisted it around like the shut the hell up comment.

Some just need to stop trying to find reasons to hate on Rodgers. Was he an asshole in the interview? I think so. If he didn't want to do the interview, he should have just declined in my opinion. But who knows? Maybe he agreed and then they said something to piss him off? Homer is a dickhead from what I've seen and heard of him.

Also Homer does seem to be a Rodgers disliker. Not really sure why to dislike Rodgers other than he's the guy after Favre (horrible stupid reason), he said something like get behind me or shut up (which doesn't almost every player say something stupid from time to time (just they don't get as much hype as that one did because the Favre hype) and not this.... from what I've heard my favorite parts are when Homer isn't talking...

How was he an asshole in the intvw? As I said a couple of pages back, it sounded to me like they know each other and were goofing back and forth. I'm sure if you saw the video it would tell a different story.
