The Green Bay Packers are deep in the trenches. With only three wins so far, the team still has not given their best performance. Of course, the sub-par performance of the Packers brings a lot of criticism toward them. However, it does not affect the starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, who has his own way of dealing with criticisms.

In his popular weekly podcast, which the ex-NFL punter, Pat McAfee, hosts with the Super Bowl-winning QB, he explained how the star QB deals with negative comments. McAfee asked him if he came across any “sh*t-talk.” Especially since the cheeseheads aren’t faring well so far. He also mentioned that A-Rod loved competitive banter. To this, the reigning MVP confessed his thoughts.

He said, “No, there’s some definitely some people that enjoy shit talking regardless who’s playing quarterback. And I like those, man. I feel it feels like you’re, you know, kind of a part of the game.” However, Aaron Rodgers confessed to facing harsher criticism, to which he didn’t “even know how to respond.” For them, he dedicated a dialogue from the movie Hangover. “Ed Helms says to Zach Galifianakis, ‘You are literally too stupid to insult.'”

The defense of the team stayed deplorable and failed to face the MVP candidate, Josh Allen. Before the game, the Packers’ QB launched at the young teammates of his team for making mental blunders. He even suggested that those players should get cut from the team; something for which he faced criticism.
