Aaron Rodgers is an extremely competitive guy who still carries a chip on his shoulder from being overlooked in college

Aaron is an extremely competitive guy, chip on his shoulder kind of guy. He's always played like that. I mean, he still carries the chip around the shoulder that, you know, he didn't get offered by Pete Carroll or he had to go to junior college.

This is a subjective character assessment by a former teammate.

Something in the Packers' organization has to change because they have squandered Aaron Rodgers' prime

Something's going on over there, and something's got to be fixed or changed because they've found a way to kind of squander some of his prime years... something's got to change.

Mike McCarthy was fired just days later on December 2, 2018, following a loss to the Cardinals.

Aaron Rodgers is more talented than Tom Brady

I think from a talent level, definitely Aaron. I mean, the guy's insanely talented, and he's got a photographic memory... [but] I'm going to say, just because of my personal relationship, Aaron Rodgers [is the GOAT].

The talent vs. success debate between Rodgers and Brady is the most common subjective debate in NFL history.

I saw Jamarcus Russell throw a football 90 yards in street clothes

I witnessed it with my eyes. He was in street clothes. We were walking, leaving practice... He was in the indoor facility, picked up a ball and threw it 90 yards. I'd never seen anything like it.

While difficult to verify 90 yards exactly, Russell's arm strength is well-documented; however, 90 yards is an extreme distance that borders on hyperbole.
