Aaron Rodgers suffered a tough end to a great season last year. The Packers quarterback was playing some of the best football of his career and he led the franchise to the best record in the NFC.

Eventually, the Packers were able to reach another NFC championship game but collapsed against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was yet another disappointment for the 2020 MVP.

Acho noted that the Packers fall to a common mistake where good is mistaken for great. And for the longest time, the Packers have been good, but never strived to be great.

“Yes, he will. The Packers are the epitome of ‘good being the enemy of great’. Sometimes people are so content being good, that they never search out being great.

“The kicker is, being good is overrated. Being great is the only thing worth living and aspiring for. The Packers are really, really good. 4 conference championships since 2014. Really good.”

Acho added that the Packers have never played at an elite level. Despite them reaching the NFC championship game for the past two seasons, they have lost both those games.

According to Acho, the Packers have not been great since they won the Super Bowl in 2011. He thinks that Rodgers should go to a franchise that is ready to go all-in with him, something the Packers don’t look like they are capable of.
