Lastly, a fan even thought that LeBron might have been exaggerating the greatness of Aaron Rodgers:

NFL fans most definitely had an interesting view of the statement made by LeBron and how much they might have disagreed with the statement. Furthermore, the fans’ reaction was geared less toward the statement that was being made. It was geared more toward the fact that it was James who was making the statement. In his opinion, the Packers need to provide Rodgers with more talent to help him win. While the Green Bay Packers might be second on the North NFC table, they aren’t doing very well.

Green Bay Packers this Season

The Packers have not been having the most stellar season this year. They have had a record of 4 wins and 7 losses. The team has a PCT of 0.364. Their PCT should be a lot more if they want to be Super Bowl contenders.

Aaron Rodgers has also been putting up stellar numbers. He has thrown over 2000 yards and 17 touchdowns. However, the Packers are still struggling to win. Most recently, they lost a game to the Tennessee Titans.

Is it possible that there might be some truth in what LeBron said? Do the Packers’ front office need to change their approach to the way the team is right now?
