Aaron Rodgers’ dream to clinch the MVP again did not sit well with Rob Gronkowski. During his appearance on FanDuel TV’s Up & Adams, the four-time All-Pro TE gave his take on A-Rod’s statement. He mentioned, “I’m totally fine with everything he said except for one major part — and that’s the ‘MVP again. Bro, why are you thinking MVP? Don’t you want Super Bowls?”
.@RobGronkowski shares his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers’ recent statement:⁰
“Why are you thinking MVP?… It should be Super Bowls, you should never be thinking MVPs…”⁰⁰📺: @FanDuelTV | @heykayadams pic.twitter.com/WGcN9VNuJs— Up & Adams (@UpAndAdamsShow) January 18, 2023
The NFL Fans on Twitter jumped into the equation to keep their thoughts.
This user said Gronkowski summed up the ‘Rodgers is Top five’ debate.

A user is siding with Rob Gronkowski.
I watched the whole interview and Gronk is right. AR cares about himself & his legacy more than his team’s achievements

But this user said Gronk would also think like Rodgers if he had multiple MVPs.
If Gronk had multiple MVPs, he’d think MVP.

Another user said he never saw Gronk that mad.
I’ve honestly never seen Gronk this publicly annoyed with something in my life 😂😂. Dude looks legit upset someone would say this
— Pats Buzz (@PatsBuzz) January 18, 2023
Another user took Gronkowski’s side.
I did, and I think Gronk is correct. MVP shouldn’t really be in the conversation, it’s about winning Super Bowls first and foremost.

Moreover, this user had a one-word response.
Exactly.

But this user defended Rodgers’ statement.
He doesn't have to say superbowls in his statement when they ask him about his performance and if people would just listen to the whole interview and stop taking little pieces of what they want to talk about, you could clearly say that it's more to it than the MVP award smh
— Cedric Brown (@cedricbrown_20) January 18, 2023
This user also pointed out that the panel asked A-Rod about his personal skills in getting washed up.
Maybe because he was asked about his individual skills eroding?
— PackersHome (@PackersHome) January 18, 2023
This use took the side of the former NFL TE.
Rob is 💯 correct…it is about Super Bowls vs. MVPs. A window into Rodgers subconscious perhaps?

Aaron Rodgers has kept his sights for another season. But does that land him up in the same space as Brett Favre?

After having a mediocre-type season, Aaron Rodgers has landed in a position where he needs to select and decide about his football career. The franchise has a youthful quarterback in Jordan Love, and they could proclaim him as the next number-one guy. If that happens, Rodgers could find himself in the same situation as Brett Favre.
When asked if he could look Rodgers in the eye and tell him the Packers want to move on without him, Gutekunst: "If we were … we're not at that point."
