Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is well aware his public comments could be met with criticism.
Rodgers and coach Matt LaFleur preached patience all offseason with this young wide receiver corps. But patience has been wearing thin as the Packers offensive has been inconsistent and lethargic. With that comes warranted criticism.
“But we all should be able to handle criticism. That's the nature of our job. You know, everything we do is scrutinized for myself on down to the young players, and getting used to dealing with that in a positive way is important whether it's coming from one of you people or from me or from Matt. We need to be able to be coachable, all of us.”
“I’m not saying anything on Pat that I’m not saying to those guys,” Rodgers said. “So maybe that’s talking about a conversation behind closed doors in public. But you know, the level of accountability is the standard here.”“I think what he was trying to get across,” LaFleur said of Rogers’ comments, “it's just everybody's got to be on top of their game.
Twice during his weekly meeting with the media, Rodgers referenced the truth being necessary but something a lot of people don’t want to hear. It echoed what LaFleur said earlier Wednesday, that “we have to be truthful with one another. And sometimes the truth hurts.” “I enjoy those conversations,” Rodgers said."You know, I enjoy any type of conflict like that because I know the resolution on the other side is gonna make us a better unit, a better friendship, better cohesion on the field.
