Fans Droppin' the F Bomb on Aaron Rodgers

Although Aaron Rodgers hasn't always said the perfect thing throughout the Brett Favre vs Green Bay Packers saga, I think he has done pretty well at maintaining the right outlook and handling it with class. The "get on board or shut up" statement was ill-advised, but that is the exception to the rule.

Discussing what gets to Aaron Rodgers, he said:

"The things I can't understand, the things I really take personally, is when I'm driving up to the (parking lot) gate and punching in my punch code and somebody says ‘F.U.' to me. That kind of bothers me. Or when a little kid is yelling swear words at me. That kind of gets to me. The boos, they expect a high level of play and they miss Brett Favre. I understand that. But the ‘F.U.' and the little kids saying swear words to me, I don't understand that."

I can definitely understand why Rodgers would feel this way. What I don't understand is the level of hatred some folks have towards Aaron Rodgers. He wasn't responsible for Brett Favre leaving Green Bay.

It really came down to Packers management (Murphy, Thompson, McCarthy, etc.) vs Brett Favre. Not Brett Favre vs Aaron Rodgers. Granted, he's taking over, but because Packers management decided to move on. I guess in some ways Rodgers was right: Packer fans need to "get on board or shut up."
