NFL evaluator trashes Aaron Rodgers, blames QB for Packers’ inactivity – “Nobody is good enough, they can’t please him”
Aaron Rodgers stated last season that he wanted to have more of a say in the way the Green Bay Packers were operating. With his contract extension, many believed that he would have a say in free-agent signings, draft selections, and even possible trades.
However, the Packers failed to add significant offensive weapons and top-notch wide receivers throughout all of those processes. As the trade deadline passed on Tuesday afternoon, the Packers were stagnant.
The team has now lost four straight games and the quarterback is very quick to judge his young wide receivers. Yet, there were no significant moves made.
Mike Sando of The Athletic recently spoke to an NFL evaluator. He feels that the Packers didn't add any offensive help because nobody would be good enough for their quarterback.
"There is so much there (in Green Bay) that we don’t know when it comes to Aaron Rodgers and his wide receivers. It is almost like, ‘Why would we spend premium draft capital on someone the quarterback probably will not like?’ That is what it comes across as to me. Rodgers plays a part in it too, like nobody is good enough. They can’t please him.”
The NFL evaluator insinuated that the Green Bay Packers quarterback was the main reason why the team didn't add any additional players.
Can Aaron Rodgers and the Packers turn things around vs. the Detroit Lions?
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is currently navigating unchartered territory. The Green Bay Packers have lost four straight games and sit at 3-5 now, tied with the Chicago Bears for second place in the NFC North, behind the 6-1 Minnesota Vikings.
Despite having just one win this season, the Detroit Lions have gotten better and have lost some very close games with the offense, averaging over 25 points per game.
However, the Lions defense is where the Packers can get the advantage. Their pass defense is the worst in the NFL with eight yards per carry allowed. The Lions defense also allows five yards per carry on the ground, which ranks them fifth worst in the league.
Rodgers and his wide receivers will need to get into some type of rhythm, which shouldn't be too hard against the Lions defense. If they can do that, they may be able to break this losing skid before it goes any further.
