"Drink a little more of it" - Shannon Sharpe sarcastically urges Aaron Rodgers to do more drugs to increase his chances of winning the Super Bowl
Aaron Rodgers was involved in one of the most controversial storylines of the 2022 NFL offseason. The Green Bay Packers superstar quarterback admitted to using Ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic drug, prior to the start of the 2020 season.
While he did so legally while on a trip to South America, Ayahuasca is a banned drug in the United States.
Aaron Rodgers claimed that his experience with Ayahuasca helped him elevate his game. The Packers QB has won consecutive NFL MVP awards in the last two years.
Shannon Sharpe recently challenged Rodgers' stance on the situation during an episode of Undisputed. Here's what Sharpe had to say:
"Well then, why didn't it help him get to the Super Bowl? So you need to drink a little bit more then, because it's wearing off at the end of the season. Because clearly come playoff time, you're not the same player, come playoff time, that you are in the regular season.
"So you might need to stay over there a little longer and drink a little more of it, because I'm trying to figure it out. It helps you win an MVP, but it can't help you beat Jimmy Garoppolo, and it can't help you beat Tom Brady on a day when he throws three picks."
Sharpe pointed out that if Ayahuasca was as beneficial as Rodgers claims it is, then maybe it should have helped him find more success in the postseason.
Aaron Rodgers' struggles in the NFL playoffs with the Packers
Aaron Rodgers began his career with plenty of postseason success as the starting quarterback for the Packers. He recorded victories in four of his first five playoff games, including winning a Super Bowl ring and a Super Bowl MVP award at the end of the 2010 NFL season.
Rodgers has struggled to find any consistent success since winning his one and only ring. He has posted a disappointing 7-9 postseason record since then and has never returned to the Super Bowl.
