In his illustrious career of 15 seasons as a starter, Aaron Rodgers had a terrible campaign this year. He recorded career-low passing and rushing yards, and above all, his inaccurate passes spiced up the discussions to oust the passer from his current position.

Well, Rodgers has no intentions to budge back. In fact, he vowed to return and play for the same side next season. After Week 12, the Packers’ playoff possibility became almost clear.

The franchise holds a season record of 4-8, certainly diminishing its hopes of moving ahead. While speaking to the reporters, Rodgers was asked if he would make a comeback and play again next season. “Correct” Rodgers said without a second thought.

Obviously, not the way how a player like Aaron Rodgers would bid goodbye to the gridiron following a depressing year. Several reasons took a toll on his performance. In the beginning, he lacked efficient prospects and entered a young squad. While the habit of making great plays was reinstated, frequent injuries added more worries to his offensive unit.

I gotta go back and look at it.” Rodgers mentioned it a few weeks ago. Regardless, it’s high time to make such changes at this point.
