“I Want Kinship, Not Animosity,” review

For years, Aaron Rodgers has been under scrutiny for his attitude and personality. He usually found himself on the wrong end of the stick when it came to articles about him, but he never wavered. The California boy has stayed true to himself from the moment he was drafted in 2005, he was never outspoken about anything, but football. When it came to his personal life, relationship, and bigger subjects than football, he remained quiet and worked behind the scenes. This developed his “bad mentality and leader” stereotype.

A week ago, Blecher Report, often on the side that attacks Rodgers, posted an article where they spoke to numerous of Aaron Rodgers’ former teammates and back up quarterbacks to understand what it was like to study under an all-time great. The answers and responses were similar, it’s challenging, but fun.

Rodgers’ former teammates would mention the times he liked to goof around, but also made note when it was time for business, there would be no goofing around. Rodgers, a former Cal Bear, is known for his wits and smarts, he is also a previous champion on the game show ‘Jeopardy’ and he classifies himself as a bit of a nerd.

The article mentions that Rodgers like to better know his backups and often times asks them to bring in fun facts about them. “Their answer didn’t matter that much,” Rodgers said. “It was almost a litmus test for personality.”

All in all, the article about Rodgers proved one thing for sure; he is not a bad guy. His teammates, whether they have high hopes, like Jordan Love, or are a long shot, like Joey Callahan, enjoy being around the fun loving Rodgers.

This article about Rodgers and living the life of his backup is a very good read and one that should be recommended to fans all over. I would greatly appreciate it if all the Aaron Rodgers haters read this article so we could clear this confusion on him being a bad guy.

Being a die hard Packer fan, I am very biased, but have always believed in my heart that Aaron Rodgers is a good person and a better teammate. He continues to prove this to me in many ways, this article helps further prove the point. In life, you will always make enemies along the way, and Rodgers’ enemies are vocal about what they don’t like about the quarterback.

But again, as mentioned earlier, Rodgers has stayed true to himself since he was a rookie, and although those people are vocal about their dislike towards him, he remains quiet about his personal affairs.
