The future of Aaron Rodgers continues to remain in the air after his team lost a crucial game against the Detroit Lions in Week 18. Recently, the veteran spoke about his intentions to emphasize the MVP contentions next year. This unexpected remark garnered mixed reactions from the NFL world, including celebrities like Rob Gronkowski, who started a new wave across social media.
The former tight end didn’t mince his words after countering a question on Rodgers’ comments about playing in the NFL. For him, the ultimate goal is to win the Super Bowl and help the team achieve this feat. Gronk appeared in the recent episode of ‘Up & Adams Show’, where he spoke about a wide range of issues including his future in Pro-football.

The 33-year-old athlete mentioned that he agreed with everything that Rodgers had said. However, the MVP comment forced him to speak up. “I’m totally fine with everything he said, except one major part — and that’s the MVP. [It should be] ‘I think I can win another Super Bowl,’” Gronkowski said on the show, per FOX News. “That would’ve been totally fine. Like bro, why are you thinking MVP? Don’t you want Super Bowls? Super Bowls are, I think, five times greater than an MVP award,” he added.
“Like, we all know you won the MVP a few times now, but everyone would know even more how many more Super Bowls you’ve won than MVPs,” he added.

Even though the quarterback emphasized MVP titles, he claimed that there is no point in going back, if you can’t win it all. Something the fans pointed out in the chat section.
Don’t listen to a tight end say how a QB should think.

Low effort. If you listen to the interview, he says no point coming back if you cannot win it all.

Meanwhile, few of them praised Gronk for spitting facts.
No I don't agree. Superbowls aren't 5x better than MVPs they are 10000x better than MVPs.

1000% All Gronk did was win in the NFL, one of the most impressive careers ever in terms of team success. Of course Rodgers is thinking about personal accomplishments, that is all he cares about.
