Epic

well he has all the leverage and has been a great QB for his entire career so its easy for him to be brutally honest

Not at all. But this is a more recent one

Killed it James... Killed it.

48 TDs to 5 INT is INSANE the packers are nuts to let this guy walk

🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Yeah...but...he *is* a lame duck QB after an MVP season

He had 3 years left on his contract that's not lame duck excuses ,excuses ,excuses NFL is a salary cap league you can't just give everybody their money you have to pick and choose who you want to keep and who you want to let go 1 example 2011 supposedly the packers had one of the best offenses of all time but you get to the playoffs against the giants And the offense throws up all over themselves who do you want to blame for that ?

To borrow from SAS ‘He is one BBBAAADDDDD MAN!’

Bears fan liked Farve though think Rodgers is douchy but.....as any employee he should have the right to stay or go on his terms. Like anyone working for any company big money or no

That's what it's all about bro. Competitive but respect. Glad you feel that way.

I know first hand, I left my job of over 35 years, because of nepotism, the owner sons came in and I couldn’t deal with them, blood is thicker than water my father always said

@@mikejackson9472 if you had been making millions..you would have stayed, lol ...not a Packers fan, just know don't make this man mad...he stopped talking to his family???😰

@@babyroses12 what his family problems got to do with football 🤷🤷🤦🤦

@@lashaysmith4727 just saying he’s a weird dude

@@babyroses12 um I was making millions😹😹😹

I am surprised.

Any true Packers fan (like myself) has been saying these things for YEARS...Ted Thompson drafted well (most of the time) but was legit PARANOID of free agency, he signed no major FA's during his entire tenure (& KEPT them signed through their prime) as GM...& letting some of the best players who ever play for the org, go?

@@John_Connor556 May be management is giving Aaron this time to vent as a sign of respect and may be they will keep Aaron inform and ask for his opinion.

@@dansavagewarrior377 yeah based on his responses to some of those questions, he said he's still not be assured he will be in those conversations, but we'll see what happens this year...

@@dansavagewarrior377 Management had no choice.

Was just thinking this exact thing. Matt rampage on fb got it right and adam at ESPN suit got it wrong.

The sports analysts and media completely ficked everything up and caused all the drama when rodgers never said a single thing they said. They started off woth thebpress conf after the nfccg as of he won't be back and here he is! That's why rodgers never said anything up until now because he knew everything they said was fale.

A lot better about ARodge?… or about the Packers front office?

Agree, the problem now on sport tv and sports talk radio is that they are getting all these retired low performance athletes as analysts that say what they want

Honestly I think most of the fans can resonate with this. So many great players have come and gone. I know we can’t keep everyone but the majority of the players Aaron mentioned should have been retained for more years.

Too bad he can't win the big games

After throwing a fit threatening to hold out or retire, as well as letting the media and even teammates be in the dark for 4 months when he could've cleared the air at any point with just a few words.

100% well said.

A true man doesn’t react off emotions Rodgers goated💯

People in power have fragile egos and want others to think "THEY" are the reason for the success.. This is why the cowboys haven't won anything in decades

That’s exactly how Jerry dismantled Jordan’s Bulls after a 3-peat. Front Offices cannot do it without players. When will they ever learn?

This comment. It is the truest comment I have seen. It’s ridiculous.

@@tyreetravis7560 as a Packer fan growing up with nothing but die hard Cowboys fans. I completely agree! 💯 Front office kills their hopes and talent over and over.

“One thing that baffles me -in sports- “ FTFY

Yep…been saying this since they disrespected Cullen Jenkins after he was a KEY cog on that Super Bowl winning defensive line. They always seemed to get rid of the key players just when they were starting to make a real impact.

Right! He deserves way more then they give him

@@252thepack ya SAw

He was the most professional in the room!

@@252thepack Agree my man! These players deserve more respect. Just like Aaron said they put their bodies on the line for the organization. Clay and Jordy deserved better. They are the epitome of what being a Packer is!!! Aaron is being a leader and standing up for his team!

Even just 10% of Charles Woodson is better than Kevin King

Sure wouldn't get beat by Scotty Miller

@@bgfortheculture I'm sure that's why we got stokes

And King isn't even in camp! Like he can afford that.

Try 5%

Perfectly said..... "Earned respect "

He hasn’t earned any respect.

@@mayamarie08 he wasn’t talking about your respect

@@ganaya5663 I get that be he needs all the respect

Yep. Green Bay leadership is clearly too busy sniffing their own great smelling farts.

I can see why this guy’s a great golfer too. Cool as a cucumber.😁

The FO has no clue sadly.

100%, he just made the front office look terrible. But everything he said completely makes perfect sense! Wow

That’s exactly how I look at it too! Can you imagine a worse front office? Since 1992 3 GM’s have held office for the Green Bay Packers. They have won countless division titles 2 Super Bowl victories & the third best win loss record in the entire NFL. Wow those guys are idiots! Try thinking from a global perspective big picture stop being Sheeple.

@@ApexEraMke OK, during 30 years they had two HOF QBs, and only won 2 SBs. The majority of otherwise disinterested professional football analysts have stated repeatedly that GB management have wasted the talent of those two players. To have a player of Rodgers caliber, and never, not once, listen to his thoughts on any other player is insanely bad management. It’s hard for individuals who refer to those who disagree with them as sheeple to consider other folks viewpoints let alone additional facts, but give it a try. Come join us in the 21st century.

Correct, Aaron might as well be the GM...at least he GETS it 🧀🧀🧀

Amen!

Everyone wants to be treated special

@@vktesla Not about being special is about taking care of hard working, dedicated people, you must be in management

Until the sports media gets their chance to make "takes" on it, and Skip Bayless talks about how this was a whine-fest somehow

@@wanghiskhan7345 Skip going to hate on Rodgers? In other news water is wet.

@@justinschram facts 😂

He wouldn’t last a day as a GM most guys he listed didn’t fare well after they left

@@rthilson He actually addressed this exact point later in this video

Agreed

Agreed this is fantastic and I thought he was a diva. He smashed it.

@Kevin Hernandez: Unfortunately, many people - not just professional athletes - aren't this articulate or intelligent.

Maybe it's because he's like that and not super loud and annoying that's the reason why they dissed him so hard?

But that's the thing. He's never blunt. He's always passive aggressive and drops little clues as to what he wants. I don't believe this guy

That part seemed rehearsed haha

*Rodgers

"Just relax"

Sorry, but relatable? To whom? Where else can you bash your boss and still get paid millions...please let us know so we can go work for them...

@@Emma-rg3nw you may not be able to bash your boss, but you can be open and confident about what you deserve for the work you put in. If they scoff stop that, you are severely undervalued.

It's too late now 😪. Even some Bears fans (myself included), acknowledge that he deserved more respect than what he's been given throughout the years.

Agreed

If you have been a Packer Fan for 40 years …. How would Lombardi handle this….what happened when his best player asked for a raise Jim Taylor…traded …team above self 100% of the time.

@@davemal15 Arod isn’t asking for a raise. He’s asking to help the team win, Lombardi would have been proud.

@@davemal15 clearly this conversation went over your head. Aaron talked about nothing but leadership and having the right minds in the locker room, allowing his voice to be heard, taking his opinion. He never demanded anything, never asked for money, didn’t complain about Love getting drafted (media made that narrative), etc.

He’s saving that for next year when Rodgers will be gone.

@@MITCH_61 yo we just signed him for another year

Vikings fan here and I totally agree

As a true diehard vikings fan I have to agree also LOL

I’m a die hard packers fan and I hate the team president and gm right now.. 🤣🤣🤣 love the team and This guy..

🤣😂

@@Michael----- nah he definitely says JLO, 8:59

yeah it’s Arod and JLo

🤣

First, most employees don't make $24M. Second, this description could be the Tom Brady story except Tom took his frustrations and just won more NE superbowls. Your guy has a problem with sulking and blaming when things don't go his way. Third, this meltdown comes from Brady completing his contract and then getting more free reign at TB. Roger's doesn't want to complete the contract he signed. He is not talking about Super Bowls. He wants what Tom has now and is not willing to wait. I applaud you GB fans. So much consternation from a team so close to a SB next year. You dont deserve anything but the best. Loyalty.

Dude dont take the bowl for granted kid

With what help? Don’t take the SB win for granted

im in telcom i started when rodgers started in the nfl i feel the same way with my front office.

@@MarkCensky brady had 0 to do with this Rodgers situation. You didn't watch the interview huh.

Thank goodness you agree

He deserved more say in the organization. We all know it.

Also a bears fan and Support this MAN in his journey hopefully to the AFC

Bears fan here as well. Rodgers should get anything he wants after his success and hard work there.

I agree. Pace/Nagy would have appreciated him a lot more.

The fact that you were ever on the side of the neglectful and negligent front office is embarrassing

@@P_steez i wasn’t necessarily on the side of the front office, but i wasn’t exactly picking a side. i figured they both had things they were justified in being upset about. now that aaron has made it 100% clear what it was that bothered him, i realize that i completely agree with his perspective. he deserves a voice in decision making processes and should probably have earned some form of commitment.

Well said. Salutations.

@@andreweverson1304 it was pretty obvious what Aaron wanted and that the front office was being neglectful, just had to watch Rodgers on mcafee and the trades/cuts they made.

@@P_steez Given all the different narratives that had been thrown at the wall by several different large media conglomerates, it was hard to really tell what was real and what wasn’t. I’m glad he was blunt and to the point in his presser so there wasn’t any confusion as to where he stood and what the problem is.

9:30

Rodgers actually said he loved the organization 3 other times in this interview

True and I love the organization too!

@@DKlee828 AJ Hawk drives with 2 feet and falls asleep at the wheel. He was a menace to GB while he was there and they are only lucky he never killed anyone that we know of.

What’s the first thing that crosses into the end zone?? AJ Hawk’s magnificent, carved from marble jawline, that’s what!

I'm picturing you as Terrell Owens as a mountain man 😆

Perfect reply

Agree. Without a doubt a lot of what he says here applies to jobs outside football. I never imagined we would here this. Much respect.

Except he communicated. Basic relationships tell you he loves Green Bay but was abused and not listened to. Green Bay is lucky this man has any character and stayed as long as he did.

Precisely my takeaway as well

Well said brother us humans=same team...

This is how 95% of the companies in America operate.

That’s is definitely not too much to ask for. That front office needs to check themselves

He definitely cares about final outcome of decision. That’s the whole point of him being involved. He wants to influence those decisions because he’s not happy with the decisions the organization has made in the past.

*Org

Lol I been lookin for them too

Hes been a turnover machine in the playoffs 💤💤. Respectable interview

@@howdyusayep! we get it... We fans understand he has to play perfect. Thats his bar. "How you doing, keep it moving."

Does this mean my Niners have to face him in week 3?😢

The fact that you were ever on the side of the neglectful and negligent front office is embarrassing

Need to spend a little time over on the Pat McAfee show. Would have given you some insight as to how and why this happened. I always loved the pack and AAron was my Qb but never thought he was the guy that I saw he was throughout last season on Tuesdays. Even just seeing how AJ talks about him brought a whole new light to how the org is ran and how much AAron had to deal with. Much respect

Same here

Literally Brady is an example of how much success they could have arguably had…and that’s saying a lot

I agree. Hard to believe how badly they handled it and how badly they treated MVP and HOFer.

wrf after hes been greay for 13 years as a starter ???

If you haven't, check out a couple of his interviews with Pat McAfee

Hes been a turnover machine in the playoffs. To be fair hes probably not a fan of me either but it is what it is. Respectable. Everything you want in a leader. . but those turnovers.

@@howdyusa hes been the highest rated qb in the playoffs according to PFF since 2016 lol

To be fair moss did get a chance to play with favre in Minnesota and it wasn't that great

Thompson was right in the end with Moss though. Guy had a mental breakdown later. His attitude was always trouble

They totally deserve it.

Not really

He needs to update his resume

HR exists to protect the company, not the employees

@@chrislangstaff This. People always think that when they have a problem they should go to HR. That's because the company has told you that a million times. The company tells you that, because HR is there to protect them and management from YOU. HR managers get hired by general managers.

Treat everybody fair but dont treat everybody the same

That’s true, but it’s organizationally engrained even by people who haven’t been there long. Rodgers has been doing his job there for 17 years, Brian Gutekunst was only named General Manager in 2018. They should be constantly running ideas by someone like Rodgers, how many teams have an MVP 17yr veteran QB? And he’s willing to provide input and recruit players for them for nothing!

You can't be serious

Lol

What exactly was he wrong about?

Schefter literally nailed everything lol

@@joeyross8819 not really, he blew up draft day with speculation and unconfirmed reports

More than half. Jk man rooting for Fields! (Steelers fan)

No respect, a 16 year veteran at that!!!

They did that with Farve too.

Sounds like Lamar Jackson

@@joemuzangaza2795yeah, also, they told Farve, after 17 years, he can fly up and try out against an almost rookie who never started a game, Rodgers. He came up, and they didn't. These front office old Jack's need to go. Terrible drafts and traded away star players, no help for QBs. Could have gotten Randy Moss. too.

@@leslienagy6053 that’s a lot of disrespect to players esp QB’s. That front office need a reshuffle

Would he though? Pretty sure in his time stuff like this never happened.

WHO DAT!

The team added no key players to positions of need. Prepare for another year of AR tow-trucking a bottom tier roster into the playoffs only to be outclassed by a team that's willing to spend money to make a run for a ring.

@@NbMW81 Ouch. I really hope you're wrong..... But you're probably right. Double ouch......

Seems like Seahawks are doing this now with Wilson. Ever since LOB fell apart

I imagine if his voice was heard they would have made it passed at least two of their last 4 shots in the NFC Championship.

He chokes in NFC championships. Somewhat of a GOAT.

He later in the press conference said it fully

Oh...Yeah...I caught that

I am sure they care what you think

And if they were completely done with the Packers this press conference wouldn’t be happening.

If your response is "People don't care what you think so be quiet" because someone commented on a video, then your decision to reply is a bit baffling. This is a forum for discussion.

All my friends have been screaming everything he is saying since 2012

Nothing will change but aaron did expose they're bs.

and ask a question he answered in a previous question. The spin of journalism nowadays should make every person question every word of the MSM "talking heads"

That's real right there 💯👍🏿

That's funny csuse he's definitely one of the worst leaders in the nfl lol

I read in Chicago news that the Bears are already thinking ahead of trying to snap Aaron up in 2022 if he doesnt stay in Green Bay. You better start liking him if that happens! 😂

Murphys ego thats why

3 MVPs*

3 mvps and they didnt even think to ask him his opinion on the 2nd best receiver in camp. They just cut him.💀

And you've set a record for losing FOUR NFC Championships in a row. The loss to Tampa Bay was because you were afraid to run, and after getting two turnovers in the fourth quarter you went three and out twice. You also threw 12 incompletions in goal to goal situations inside the 12 yard line. And you're 22-30-1 against teams that finished with a winning record. You are the most over-rated quarter back in the league.

@@Ron-pd7jm Aaron: sorry man, I can only throw 48TDs and 5 INT in my previous season, next time I’ll go out there, play defense with 10 other guys trying to get them on the same page and force turnovers as well to create opportunities for the offense. Again, sorry, it’s my fault I’m not a both sides of the ball Ironman
