Aaron Rodgers‘s recent appearance on the Aubrey Marcus podcast has divided the NFL world. While many NFL fans perceive Rodgers as a diva, another group of people, including Colin Cowherd, deem the Super Bowl champion as ‘the most honest, upfront, and authentic professional’ in the league. Another ex-NFL player turned analyst came out with a somewhat interesting take on Aaron Rodgers.

Emmanuel Acho made some comments regarding Rodgers that went on to show that maybe is not inciting drama in the Green Bay Packers locker room, and is just acting out of deep-seated grief. Acho went on to say that he understands ‘where Rodgers is coming from’, and the man has flipped Acho’s approach.

The replacement for Aaron Rodgers

Emmanuel Acho emphasized the point that Aaron Rodgers could potentially be harboring some negative feelings around the acquisition of Jordan Love by the Green Bay Packers.

According to Acho, “I am super surprised it happened, but he flipped me, he flipped my approach.” Rodgers pointed out on the Aubrey Marcus podcast that the Green Bay Packers drafted his replacement and he went over to win MVP twice. He also recalled throwing 85 touchdowns and nine interceptions in two years.

“Here, my replacement has a name, but Aaron Rodgers still refuses to use that name, because Rodgers I still so imminently damaged. I get it, Aaron Rodgers was scorned and now he intends to remind the Packers every chance he gets that he is in the power position. I understand his approach, I get his approach, and dare I say I am okay with his approach” said Emmanuel Acho while analyzing Rodger’s statements.

Emmanuel Acho and his panel went on to discuss Rodgers’ comments and most of them went on to scrutinize Rodgers for it. One of the panelists even went as far as to call A-Rod exhausting.

The revelations

Aaron Rodgers went on to reflect back on his recent tussle with the media, the constant criticism of the fans, and his seemingly eventful decision.

There’s a finality to the decision. I don’t make it lightly. I don’t want to drag anybody around. I’m answering questions about it because I got asked about it. I’m talking about it because it’s important to me. If you don’t like it and you think it’s drama, and If you think I’m being a diva or whatever, then just tune it out. That’s fine. But this is my life. It’s important to me. I’ll make a decision soon enough and we’ll go down that road. I’ll be really excited about it,” he added.
