I can’t really knock Rodgers the quarterback. On the field, he is as good as it gets. He’s given the Bears fits for years. How can I argue with that? I’ll never forget, the night after my son was born, I sat in a hospital room holding this bundle of joy as Rodgers gave the Bears the worst beating they had received in years — November 9, 2014. If it wasn’t for the circumstances, that game would have been a recurring nightmare.
When it comes to the criteria, Rodgers’ contract is atrocious, especially considering he’s been injury-prone over the last few years. His beer-chugging is infamously hilarious, and he knows it. At this stage, he’s becoming an old man — something Packer fans will have to come to grips with.
As for the beard, I can’t knock it. It’s a nice beard, but not the best in the division.
