And their golden boy, Aaron Rodgers, is finally facing some flack from the fans. The 38-year-old quarterback made a statement after their seventh loss of the season.

The Packer played the Titans at their home this Thursday. This eventually turned into a disappointing defeat for the home side. This was their seventh defeat of the season. In addition to a below .500 season, this campaign looks like a certain missed opportunity at the play-off places now. Talking to the press after the loss. A reporter asked Rodgers where does he go from here? To which the former Super Bowl winner replied, “Home.”
Fans are calling for Aaron Rodgers to be dropped
This is the 18th season of A-Rod at the Packers’ helm. And never have fans been this angry at him. He has been a hero for the Wisconsin area. But now the tables are turning. After a historically bad season, fans are finding it hard to tolerate the usual nonchalance of the QB. And his latest statement has really done some heavy damage with fans now eager to see Rodgers being moved on.
I've been saying it 4ever get rid of him

In spite of the great heights that A-Rod has reached. This fan feels it is time he hangs up his boots.
He's won a championship. He's a three-time MVP. He's a hall of fame lock and one of the best at his position, ever. Is it time for him to call it a career?

Besides the inexperienced receiving corps. Moreover, now the fans are holding the back-to-back MVP at the same standards as well.
Aarron Rogers needs to be held to the same performance standards as any other player on the team. Consistently throwing the ball at the ground in front of wide-open receivers or over their heads or nowhere near the wide-open receiver, should BE BENCHED and his stigmatism checked.

And this fan has some news for the Packer Nation.
They’re 2 games back, and would have multiple tie breakers to overcome. The Packers are done.

And with the season looking like a certainly lost cause already. Fans are calling the organization to start Jordan Love.
Put Jordan Love in, want to see what the Packers will look like next year.

And according to this fan, A-Rod might be one of the best teammates ever. Since he is helping Jordan gets some love from the fans.
Broke: Aaron Rodgers is washed up
Woke: Aaron Rodgers is the ultimate teammate going out with a 6-11 season so Jordan Love gets the full support of Packers fans next year https://t.co/5OgtqQ1Jxf

And to put some context to hype up a few of the readers, Jordan Love does come from an elite draft class for QBs.
What a crazy draft class this turned out to be.
And we might even get to see what Jordan Love has to offer soon😂 pic.twitter.com/nduxUdNGga

Rodgers against the Titans

Although he did not throw any interceptions. The fans were seemingly unhappy to see the veteran miss some open receivers on open plays. Which, in the end, really cost them a chance at the game.

However, no one is really sure what the team will do next. As Rodgers still has a year left on his contract. And In spite of his form, he still remains the reigning back-to-back MVP. And any decision would be a tough one to make for the organization.
