from PFW... “Aaron Rodgers had a lot of audacity to tell fans, ‘Get on board or shut the hell up.’ He has not won a game in the NFL! You want to talk about an ironic situation to be in. (Mike) McCarthy was the lead proponent of drafting (Alex) Smith over (Aaron) Rodgers when he was in San Francisco (as the offensive coordinator). Now he’s in Green Bay, going into the season with Rodgers being the guy. McCarthy did not like Rodgers’ personality at all, did not think he was a leader. He thought he was too ‘into himself.’ I think that’s why Favre never warmed up to him and has never liked him — because of those qualities.”
But if you listen to everyone, he "handled this situation like a true champ". I don't really find it hard to do this when you have been given a script and are told to just follow the script which is exactly what he did. Maybe he's just a better actor that most people thought, big whoopedy dooo. On the other hand if/when Mike Vick comes back and comes off as handling all the questions that will come his way as well as Rodgers then I will give him some real credit. Example of questions for Rodgers/Vick"Hey Aaron, is this a distraction for your team"vs. "Hey Mike, we think you are a POS and should rot in hell, is this a distraction to your team"and"Hey Aaron, we all feel just awful for you, you have been through so much, How are you handling the pressure"vs."Hey Mike, you belong in prison, we all hate you, How are you handling the pressure"Real tough for Aaron. It's been so hard on Aaron with the media telling him how rough life is on him, he stuck to a script, wow, what a guy.
