“He (Rodgers) is a great player. We all have an immense amount of respect for him,” Reich told Good Morning Football this week. As a former quarterback, you throw out those numbers–26 touchdowns, three interceptions–and that’s commonplace for Rodgers.” He further added, “That never ceases to amaze me, how a guy turns the ball over so few times like he does, with all the times he is pushing the ball down the field. “It’s a tribute to who he is as a player and for how consistent he has been doing that as a player.”
