“I Am Debatably the Best Player in Franchise History”: NFL Fans React to Aaron Rodgers’ Self Compliment

The Green Bay Packers have been lucky to have some amazing names attached to their history. The Wisconsin team has a rich football history spanning the last century. There has never been a time that the Packers haven’t had either a star quarterback or a legendary coach like Vince Lombardi looking over the Packers’ future. In recent times, the hype has been around one of the best quarterbacks the league has seen, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has been a part of the Packers for about 18 years and is only now showing signs of leaving. Amidst his slow breakaway from the Packers. Rodgers has made some interesting statements pertaining to his own greatness.

A statement from Rodgers went viral on Twitter as the founder of a verified fan page of the Green Bay Packers shared his own opinion on Rodgers’ statement. Admittedly, Rodgers’ new statement seems like one that would gather the ire of a lot of fans.

Is Aaron Rodgers tooting his own horn?

While the NFL fanbase is kind to the humble, they’re brutal to the arrogant and Rodgers’ most recent statement might be perceived as arrogant. The quarterback recently made a controversial statement that could potentially invalidate the whole history of the Packers. While he was on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers said, “I am debatably the best player in franchise history.” Given the kind of accolades Rodgers has accumulated, this might not be far from the truth. However, it did not sit well with fans. The founder of Cheesehead TV, Aaron Nagler, took to Twitter to fire back.

As a devoted Packers fan, Nagler did not seem to like the statement Rodgers made, and he made it clear. His take went viral on Twitter, both among the NFL fanbase as well as Packers nation.

Furthermore, fans went on to restate their love for Bart Starr’s achievements.

Additionally, fans mentioned that the way a player plays isn’t everything.

Furthermore, fans also compared Rodgers to the league’s standard of greatness as well.

Older fans also went on to state who they think is the best Packer of all time.

As Rodgers’ time in Wisconsin comes to an end, the debate about the greatest Packer remains unanswered. However, only the future will be able to reveal what Packers fans will think of Rodgers after he finishes his career in the NFL.
