Did the Packers make a mistake by not trading Aaron Rodgers when they had the chance?
I know it is one game, but look Aaron Rodgers drama definitely did something to the Packers. The Packers were the best team in the NFC last year, and today they were blown out by a depleted New Orleans Saints team.
I am not going to take away anything from the Saints or Jameis Winston, but it looked like Jameis was the star quarterback tonight.
Aaron Rodgers was benched for Jordan Love, and looked miserable on the sidelines. Rodgers had completed 15 of 28 passes for 133 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions, and the Packers trailed 38-3 when Love entered the game.
I mean there was so much drama in Green Bay this off-season. Rodgers demanding players on his team, the team actually trading for them. I mean what else does he want? He needs to start producing. I am not a Packers fan, but I would assume they have to be fed up already. Maybe it is time to move on from Rodgers. Rodgers has made this entire off-season about himself.
He has not been a team player, rather he is putting the team in a bad predicament. The team has had to walk on egg shells all year. Rodgers is constantly in the news, shoot before the game he was sitting down with Erin Andrews talking trash about his situation.
Well, Aaron today you laid an egg. When are you going to start thinking about your team? If you are not going to do that, then maybe you should leave. The Packers should be kicking themselves. They had the right idea, trade him. They just didn’t pull the trigger. Rather, they fell into his trap. Hopefully, they snap out of it quickly because they looked horrible in their first game.
