Aaron Rodgers is a man of motivation, but sometimes realism is better, say Packers fans. The NFL superstar attempted to cheer up his teammates with words of wisdom after their third straight defeat in the league.

“I’m not worried about this squad. In fact, this might be the best thing for us,” he said in an honest presser after the loss against the Commanders. Twitter users were in splits about the ‘positive’ remark. They flooded the feeds with various reactions.
A fan thought A-Rod doesn’t care about the team anymore.
Rodgers doesn’t care about this team anymore. You can tell he’s done. Wish we could cut him tomorrow
— Pete (@wiscopete13) October 23, 2022
Another angry fan asked how it is the best thing for the team.
No offense to AR, but how on earth could this be a good thing?
— Adam Roseberry (@adamtroseberry) October 23, 2022
Meanwhile, this user gave his curious response.
13-3 seasons have been fun with not a whole lot of adversity, even last season with the drama they still made it work. I think it’s great they are getting hit in the mouth early and often and there is no fear of this team. How are they going to respond. Give up or fight back. 🤷🏾♂️

A fan said the clock is already ticking.
Season almost over and he says this??? They probably need to go 9-1 to make the postseason…
— ComeSailAway (@jdheimsch) October 23, 2022
However, this fan has defended Rodgers.
He may not be wrong. The past 3 years we’ve forgotten how bad losing felt and how special winning was.

Green Bay Packers need to address flaws in their game
The four-time MVP fumbled alongside the offense, and as a result, the penalties just piled up at regular intervals. The Packers team lost their third game in a row. It was totally unexpected to witness such a skid from the former Super Bowl winner.
A fan said this isn’t a great start to the season.
Being 3-4 losing to one of the worst rostered teams in the NFL heading into a road prime time game against the Super Bowl favorite… not ideal
— 🅱️rock (@Brock_rice99) October 23, 2022
Meanwhile, a fan explained A-Rod is trying to be positive.
Y'all mad when you think he's being negative, you're mad when he's trying to be positive and lead the team…Jesus I hate most other Packers fans
— Name cannot be blank (@SchwiftyMub) October 23, 2022
A user doubted whether A-Rod is feeling high.
Are you high?
— Do〽️inik™ 🧀 (@hooltras1944) October 23, 2022
This fan has made a sarcastic response.
Answer: How many weeks are left in the season?
— Clinton Myers (@Starsnstripes71) October 23, 2022
Interestingly, a fan complimented his optimism.
I like his optimism.

The lack of coordination game alongside the loss of Allen Lazard with injury affected head coach Matt LaFleur and his men. Rodgers was out of 23 of 35 for 194 yards.

He was out of sync with the receivers for the dominant part of the game. He nursed a sore thumb but expressed an interest to play in playing the Sunday game.
Aaron Rodgers and the waiting approach
Aaron Rodgers covered 1597 yards and recorded 11 touchdowns so far. The 38-year-old star has got a QB rating of 40.5 points and sits 26th position. These are disappointing numbers for the seasoned campaigner.

However, an opinionated Rodgers must be unnerved about his performance. Last week, he emphasized there is still a good time to go to the playoff stage. This wait-and-watch attitude has delivered well for A-Rod in the past. However, it is uncertain whether it would work this time as the game is moving at a faster pace.
