Aaron Rodgers claims he’ll have an ‘open mind’ if Packers turn to Jordan Love and end MVP QB’s era
Aaron Rodgers got hurt in last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was already dealing with a broken thumb and hurt his ribs during the game.
After Rodgers left the game due to excessive pain, Jordan Love was given an opportunity and the backup quarterback impressed everyone. Serious questions have been raised about whether the Packers should shut down Rodgers and give Jordan Love some playing time for the rest of the season.
Here's what Rodgers said when asked about his views on Jordan Love getting an opportunity:
"Look, I'd love to finish the season out, but I understand this is a business and there's a lot of us kind of older guys who play a decent amount, and they might want to see some younger guys play."
He continued:
"Hopefully we don't have to have that conversation, but if that conversation comes up, I'll approach it with an open mind without any bitterness or resentment."
Rodgers added:
"Obviously, like I said, I want to win out, and then we don't have to have those conversations. But I understand if we don't that it's a possibility to have that conversation."
Asked Aaron Rodgers how he’d feel if #Packers wanted to give Jordan Love a couple starts to finish the season. Rodgers says he hopes to finish season out, but would approach it with an “open mind” if team doesn’t win final 5 games.

As seen against the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the season, Rodgers shows up against his favorite opponents. We are likely to see a similar scenario on Sunday. As of now, the Green Bay Packers are favored by -4.5 points against the Bears, but this line could change depending on the injury status of Aaron Rodgers.

It is highly unlikely that Justin Fields will play for the Bears on Sunday, but that could also change. The availability of Fields can also play a huge factor in dictating the outcome of this game.
With the status of both quarterbacks uncertain, the build-up to this game is producing far more questions than answers.
