"I love Aaron Rodgers like villains" - NFL analyst shares a different take on QB's recent criticism of Packers

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers suffered an astonishing loss on Sunday to the Washington Commanders. After the game, the quarterback called out his teammates and said that some of those that made mistakes should see their snap totals drop.

Many in the media called out Rodgers for his poor leadership. The team is struggling and it's unfair to pin everything on a few players making mistakes. However, Kimberly Martin on Get Up on ESPN offered a different perspective on the criticism of the quarterback's teammates:

"Is it bad that I love Aaron Rodgers like villains? This guy I mean just sounds super maniacal and I'm really for- yes, he's calling out his head coach. Yes, he's calling out his teammates. But are we expecting Aaron Rodgers like do we not know who this is now?"

Martin believes the behavior shouldn't be a total surprise:

"Why are we surprised by any of it? He even said on the Pat McAfee show that his QB coach graded him- this was his highest single-game. So Rodgers is letting everybody know it is not me?"

She continued:

"And I think to your point you've always brought up how he should have been there in the offseason... But I love him saying that guys you know if you're not playing well, you should sit, that's a chance to mop the floor. Unlike Brady where I feel like it's like we got to hope and got a wish and we got to pray to get better. I kind of liked it."

While many are displeased with the quarterback's recent comments, he has at least one member of the media that doesn't care all that much.

What did Aaron Rodgers say about his teammates?

Green Bay Packers v Washington Commanders

Following the loss on Sunday, the Packers star discussed what went wrong and what has gone wrong all season, resulting in a 3-4 record. He believes, according to NFL.com, that there are too many errors:

"There have definitely been seasons where we average four or five, six, maybe seven at the most, kind of mental errors or missed assignments per week... This season there's a lot more of that every single week. It's double digits every single week. Even on the game, we had like 50 plays or something -- there wasn't a ton of plays, they had 37 minutes time of possession -- a lot of mistakes."

He thinks those players should see less playing time:

"Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing, you know. Gotta start cutting some reps, and maybe guys who aren't playing, give them a chance."

The Packers will look to get back on track next week against the Buffalo Bills.
