Rodgers Throws Some Shade

Click baitish but Aaron says Dallas hasn't played lately. They're rolling. Dallas is rusty. They have momentum and Dak has no experience. For someone who apparently doesn't read criticism he sure echoes the conventional wisdom well.

Please David, strip sack him again.

This is the same team that needed a busted coverage prayer pass to Jordy Nelson to beat the Matt Barkley led Bears.

He also complemented Dak in saying "no stage looks too big for him."

The whole momentum vs resting (with a bye) is an argument as old as time.

In recent years, we've seen both play out pretty evenly.

Patriots, Denver, and Seahawks all had byes and won it the Superbowl.

Packers, Giants, and Ravens all came in as wildcard teams that had to play wildcard weekend.

Depending on which side of that you fall on, you are going gravitate to the "Momentum means more" vs "Resting our players and getting healthy" arguments.

Rodgers has poor character and is a complete jerk. Easily one of the most unlikable players in the NFL. Nothing he says seems authentic, except when he's complaining.

At this point, it really doesn't matter what any of these guys say. Soon enough the time for talking will be over for one of these teams.

Could not disagree more. I love watching that guy play, and I like no-nonsense people.

Its interesting that while our players and staff only talk about focusing on themselves, our opponents continue to focus on Dallas too. Rogers needs to worry about his own offense, not speculate on trials and tribulations of ours.

How is that throwing shade? lol

I know his family doesn't like him anymore.

With all of our injured players, I would think that the current circumstances would favor the "Rest" side of that argument.

What does "throwing shade" even mean? I can't keep up with these young kids' slang.

Yep, in 2009 the Saints won the Super Bowl after losing their last 3 regular season games

Essentially insulting.

 

[Bullflop]

If Rodgers feels a need to drum up reasons to doubt the competition, maybe his confidence in his own team is in question.

 

[perrykemp]

You'd think.

On the other hand EVERY time a team with a bye loses a playoff game, inevitably the question is asked "Did the 2 weeks without a meaningful game hurt them"?

It never fails.

Fair enough. I'm talking about his off-the-field character.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

I know his family doesn't like him anymore.

Nor do his ex teammates. Where there's smoke, there's fire. And his personality comes off as a cocky Jay Cutler.

Except the only difference is he can play.

 

[Bullflop]

With all of our injured players, I would think that the current circumstances would favor the "Rest" side of that argument.

Conversely, maybe the thought of all the injured Packers who haven't had the benefit of rest has him a bit concerned.
