"Overrated. Overhyped" - Skip Bayless questions Aaron Rodgers' NFL legacy after playoff defeat
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has just one Super Bowl appearance and win in his 17-year NFL career. After the Packers' 13-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round on Saturday night, the reigning MVP is now 11-10 in career playoff appearances.
"Undisputed" co-host Skip Bayless has never had any issue with expressing how he feels in the world of sport, most specifically the National Football League.
The Green Bay Packers' loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night was a great opportunity for Bayless to express how he felt about the quarterback and yet another unsuccessful playoff run.
Bayless took to his Twitter page and posted the following:
"AARON RODGERS, 4-TIME MVP, IS NOW 7-9 IN THE PLAYOFFS SINCE HE WON THAT ONE SUPER BOWL 11 YEARS AGO. OVERHYPED, OVERRATED.-Skip Bayless via Twitter"
AARON RODGERS, 4-TIME MVP, IS NOW 7-9 IN THE PLAYOFFS SINCE HE WON THAT ONE SUPER BOWL 11 YEARS AGO. OVERHYPED, OVERRATED.
Bayless highlighted the fact that Aaron Rodgers has been to just one Super Bowl and since then has a losing playoff record. Will the veteran quarterback retire or will he force the Packers to trade him?
Skip Bayless doesn't hold back in criticism of Aaron Rodgers
Skip Bayless not only called the Green Bay Packers quarterback 'overrated' and 'overhyped' on Saturday night, he also continued to take to his Twitter page to throw criticism in Aaron's direction.
GOOD NIGHT, AARON RODGERS.
Bayless didn't hold back at the Packers' quarterback inability to win playoff games against the San Francisco 49ers. He essentially questioned what his legacy will look like when his career is officially over.
Now trending: Aaron Fraudgers. Wish I'd thought of that. I've basically been calling him that for the last decade on TV. All I hear from across the debate desk on Undisputed is "transcendent thrower of the football." Transcendentally fraudulent.
He has won the NFL MVP award three times and has been considered a favorite for this season's NFL MVP award as well. But his losing record in the postseason may hinder the ability took look at the winning career he has had.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 225 tonight - but 75 came on that blown-coverage lob to his back Aaron Jones. He mostly dinks and dunks and looks for quick flips to the NFL's best receiver, Davante Adams. Overhyped, overrated.
His overall career stats and MVP status will likely garner him an induction into the NFL's Pro Football Hall of Fame, but that won't stop criticism from Bayless and others about his inability to lead his Green Bay Packers team in 'big games' when necessary.
Will the longtime Packers signal-caller walk away from his long-term NFL career or will he look to try and win it all with another team for the first time in his career?
Next month will be an interesting step in the quarterback's career and there's no doubt that Bayless and company will have a lot to say about it.
