Before the Packers vs the Rams game, The Athletic’s Kalyn Kahler released a piece on Aaron Rodgers. The article dived deeper into why it was harder for rookies in a Rodgers offense. The article further revealed that the QB’s use of old and unknown hand signals would often send the rookie receivers scrambling. Well, it turns out that the back-to-back MVP was not a big fan of the piece. In his latest appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers called the article a ”nothing-burger’‘, while stating that it was ”95% horsesh*t”.

On the other hand, the player’s latest remarks have earned a special response from NFL legend Shannon Sharpe. The Hall of Famer was not too pleased with what Rodgers had to say. “So let me get this straight, should I believe a proven liar or former and current players that’s willing to go on the record,” added Sharpe. “If Aaron Rodgers came to me right now and says ‘Shannon don’t go outside, the sky’s falling,’ I’m a dead mofo cause the sky gon drop on my head, cause I don’t believe anything he says. They said it; I gotta know hand signals that we don’t practice; only he knows!”

The former Broncos TE even highlights the fact that there were former and current players on the record. According to Sharpe, the QB was in the wrong for keeping his hand signals from the current players on the pitch. “So you ain’t not gonna teach them cause you might get released, and if you get released, you might go somewhere else and tell us our hand signals. Really?” explained Sharpe. “So he’s mad at the article, but you gon be mad at these guys that went on the record? I believe everything that was written in this article, I believe it”

Aaron Rodgers couldn’t believe the article

While there were actual players like Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins, Romeo Doubs, and many more on record. For Rodgers, the article was a big ‘nothing-burger’. “Let me tell you, I was made aware of that article. It is, by far, the dumbest nothing-burger article that I’ve read in the entire season.” Said Rodgers when talking to McAfee.
