With Aaron Rodgers officially traded to the New York Jets, his tenure as a Green Bay Packer comes to an end after 18 seasons.

Rodgers registered the most passing touchdowns in Packers franchise history (475) and is a 10-time Pro bowler.

There's no debate that two of the greatest all-time Packers players are Rodgers and quarterback Brett Favre.

On Undisputed, Shannon Sharpe shared with Skip Bayless that he thinks Rodgers is the greatest Packer of all-time, even over Brett Favre. He talked about Aaron's accomplishments and why he is the greatest Packer of all-time.

"He's the greatest Packer ever. I think he's a lying, condescending, aloof fingerpointing. Whatever else you want to say. But you can't argue with the man's success on the field. Skip 2010 Super Bowl MVP, won 4 MVP's. Four time first team All-Pro. Ten time Pro Bowler. Two time passing Touchdown Leader. Four time passer Rating Leader and 2010 All-decade. Hmm. I mean, what? I mean, what can I say, Skip?"

Sharpe added:

"I mean, he's the greatest packer ever. All those things off the field. But up. When you said it was good. What? You tell me to judge a player. All I do is talk about what he did when he played that sport. We can have a discussion about what type of person that he was off the field. Okay. We could have that discussion. But I'm just talking about what Aaron Rodgers did on the field. The greatest Packer."
