Can Aaron Rodgers drive Green Bay to Super Bowl glory?

At points, over the course of the summer, it wasn’t entirely clear whether Aaron Rodgers would call time on his career at the Green Bay Packers, with speculation rife that the veteran wasn’t happy with life at Lambeau Field. Now, following a sparkling regular season, the 38-year-old is now looking to guide Matt LeFleur’s side towards the Super Bowl.

The Packers finished the season with an excellent 13-4 record that saw them winning the NFC North for the third each in a row before clinching the first seed spot in the NFL playoffs and a great deal of the reason for such a strong season were the consistent displays put in by Rodgers.

Green Bay is now placed as favorites to clinch the Super Bowl with odds provided by

Rodgers is on course to clinch back-to-back NFL MVP awards as he looks to see off
competition from Tom Brady for that honor after a season that saw the quarterback post 4115 passing yards and 37 touchdowns but perhaps the most impressive stat comes in the form of just four interceptions thrown all season. As a guide, that’s a third of those thrown by Brady.

One thing is for certain when it comes to NFL stars who generate media interest, Rodgers is second to none. This season saw the Green Bay star face a lot of criticism for his vaccination status, and he’s never really spent a week out of the media spotlight; and he was in particularly good form in a recent interview where he went all out against a number of individuals.

“I don’t want to apologize for being myself,”

“I just want to be myself.” Rodgers began ominously.

On being censured for his opinions, he continued;

“Are they censoring terrorists or pedophiles? Criminals, who have Twitter profiles? No, they’re censoring people, and they’re shadow-banning people who have dissenting opinions about vaccines,”

“When you censor and make pariahs out of anybody who questions what you believe in or what the mainstream narrative is, that doesn’t make any sense.”

“When the president of the United States says, ‘This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ it’s because him and his constituents, which, I don’t know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking, but I guess he got 81 million votes,”

“But when you say stuff like that, and then you have the CDC, which, how do you even trust them, but then they come out and talk about 75% of the COVID deaths have at least four comorbidities. And you still have this fake White House set saying that this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated; that’s not helping the conversation.”

He also found time to make a sly reference to Tom Brady and Deflategate; such is the way with Rodgers, an individual who should perhaps just let his NFL game do the talking rather than discussing other matters that only seem to lead him into trouble.

Regardless of his outspoken nature, it’s clear Rodgers still has a lot in the tank, and backing his Packers to go all the way this season seems like a fairly solid bet right now.
