Colin Cowherd’s hot take about Aaron Rodgers is a scorcher

Green Bay Packers partisans were surely glad to see the brouhaha concerning the team’s trade-up to select quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of April’s NFL Draft. It felt like history was suddenly on course to repeating itself, with reruns of Brett Favre giving way less than amicably to Aaron Rodgers only to line up agains the Pack wearing a Vikings uniform still too fresh in the minds of the Cheesehead diehards. With the passing of time, nerves grew calmer.

Well, that détente is suddenly out the window, and Colin Cowherd is to blame. On the latest edition of The Herd on FS1, the loudmouth host insisted that there’s something fundamentally wrong with Rodgers’ personality.

“Even when he does nice stuff, people take shots at him,” Cowherd said, insisting that nobody ever did anything of the sort toward his beloved Tom Brady. “Six, seven years ago, I said there’s something about his personality that just doesn’t click with people.”

The next time you’re in town, Colin, good luck getting a tankard of Old Milwaukee that hasn’t been subject to an angry local’s expectoration.

As a though experiment, to what extent does Colin potentially have a point? Rodgers has long existed in that strange space in which the leading criticism against him is that he “only” has one Super Bowl ring, a status (to say nothing of his league MVP trophy and highest NFL passer rating of all time) that a whole lot of good or even great quarterbacks would love to have. If he retires today, he’s still a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Knowing how spirited Favre was in Minnesota, what are the chances the Packers force out AR12 if he still has gas in the tank?

Ummm… no comment.

Colin is as Colin does. If we’re picking apart his incendiary screeds, he’s already won. But at this rate, the offseason stands to feel especially long in Green Bay now that the Jordan Love elephant is in the room.
