Aaron Rodgers is struggling with the Green Bay Packers this season. The team is on a four-game losing streak and nothing seems to be going right.

Hall of Famer Michael Irvin thinks the slump has nothing to do with Rodgers but the Packers front office.

Michael Irvin says the Packers have let Aaron Rodgers down

Former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin is of the opinion that the Packers have let back-to-back MVP, Aaron Rodgers, down this season. Talking about the Packers’ recent form on ESPN’s ‘First Take’, Irvin said he feels there is something personal going on at Green Bay.

Well, it’s something personal going on with Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers is coming off back-to-back MVPs. That means you are running this football team. The last few years Aaron Rodgers has been running this football team. Now Aaron Rodgers has dropped off, and they have started to look like they are looking right now,” Irvin said.

He then criticized the Packers’ front office for letting Rodgers down.

“I am just saying, man, there is no way you get this man and put him in that situation. I have been on Aaron Rodgers for the way he has been trying to go at the receivers. The reality is I need to be on that front office for the way they have let this man down. I don’t know how they came into this season with a back-to-back MVP and thinking that what they gave him is good enough,” he went on criticizing the Packers front office.

Packers season so far

This season hasn’t gone as the Rodgers and Packers fans would have anticipated. The Packers have won just three games out of the eight they have played. The team is on a four-game losing streak.
