Are we about to experience a generation of bitter former players that shit on the current product like the NBA gets to deal with?
NFL
A place for NFL news, game highlights and everything that excites you about American Football.
Oh, so it’s our fault.
I also agree with Tom Brady. (Does this put me in the same echelon with him and in same conversations?)
The guy who has benefited from softening rule changes criticizes the league for softening the rules. Can’t make this shit up.
This guy is so hateable lmao. Don’t forget that this clown used the term “woke mob” not too long ago.
Nah dude we just got tired of seeing people nearly get paralyzed like Ryan Shazier, or get their bell rung so hard it gave them brain damage like AB.
This softening of society is the only reason those two old men have been able to play as long as they have.
Rodgers is a dork and dumbed Brady’s great point down to gibberish. Thanks idiot.
Woke
Maybe he should eat some more clay about it.
Shut up, Aaron.
I guess we softened his Achilles guys
Of course Rodgers would make it a weirdo conservative talking point. Even more perfect since he comes off as the softest, most sensitive player in the league whose ego gets bruised by a mere breeze.
Further proof that Boomer is a socioeconomic status rather than an age
Aaron Rodgers would be an incredibly annoying uncle to have wouldn't he?
Rodgers went on to say "NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!"
Mfer, The body weight rule exists because of you!
Aaron Rodgers just doesn't want to work anymore.
oh shut the fuck up, this generation can barely keep up with student debt, medical bills, and increasing rent costs. why is a millionaire telling me society is soft?
"Pampered millionaire thinks people have it too easy"
What a piece of shit
Rich coming from a guy who never had a working class job
Aren’t we all supposed to making things easier for the generations ahead of us? Like maybe getting concussions every game like they before was a bad thing.
Can’t wait for this doof to come back to the Jets only to be immediately destroyed again due to the Oline.
Thank you Mr multi-millionaire who makes more money than i’ll ever see playing a fucking sport for telling me i’m soft!
Discount double dipshit
I thought the owners wanted QB’s better protected because of their contracts?
Or maybe, just maybe, most of us would prefer not to see a death on the field.
And QB's are not the ones who should be commenting about violence or lack of it. They're not the ones who are taking the brunt of it.
Fuck Brady and Rogers. They were screaming at the refs for a roughing the QB flag if anyone touched them. They're the reason the game has gotten soft. Now, people like Bradshaw, Stabler, Staubach, and earlier generations of players can say the game has gotten soft.
he rite tho
Snowflake
Aaron Rodgers is a fuckin dillweed who thinks he know more about viruses than immunologists.
Motherfucker doesn't trust doctors to administer a vaccine but he's fine with getting bigass tattoos. Doesn't trust doctors with a vaccine but he trusts this experimental new surgery on his achilles.
Dude was a great quarterback for sure, but he's as dumb fuck as Brett Favre
No fucking this Karen of a man is calling any else “soft” when he’s quite possibly the softest dude walking the planet right now.
Says the guy who cried for flags all the time. They changed rules because of Anthony Barr's legal hit.
Literal boomer energy
This gives off old man yelling at clouds vibes.
With that said the league clearly is softer. The rules have made it that way in purpose.
The rules changed for player safety.
What is Rodgers saying? The NFL rules committee is what? Woke? Vaccinated? On estrogen?
He's a great football player, but wow, he is a huge moron an even bigger attention whore.
Rodgers is the reason the roughing the passer rule is what it is today. Thanks for making the league what it is today A-a Ron !!
I mean he’s right everyone has turned to a bunch of pussys anymore and I’m not an exception that’s for sure
These ticky-tack holding calls during pass coverage are driving me nuts this yr. And yeah, I don’t understand why the DBs keep doing it, lots of them have negligible impact anyway, but good lord, the amount of drives extended for very very little actual disruption of a route
The rules have gone too far. The rules are causing a lot of the bad fundamentals and coaches aren't coaching them. There is a balance to everything and football has not found it yet.
"Softening society" is such a reductive take. Brady put it way better. There's a lot more to it than that Throw Rogan
Aaron and Tom’s bullshit aside, he’s not wrong about the difficulty of play for D in the current era. Literally anytime a ball is thrown more than 20 yards, it feels like interference is called more often than not. The amount of defensive flags in the current era is making the sport borderline unwatchable
“Soft guy calls others soft”
I definitely think defenses have been noticeably handicapped. Some of it is obviously for safety, but not all of it. Ball carriers stiff arm to the face and lower their heads all the time. Stuff that the defense would be flagged on if they did.
Marketability dictates more rule changes than people want to admit. I'll never understand why so many people just want to watch constant scoring. I love great defense and think it's more interesting than high scoring shootout games. I'm in the minority though. The NFL knows the more casual fan just wants to see non stop touchdowns and does what they can rule wise to make that easier.
Oh my god shut the fuck up
Didn't they change RTP after the totally legal Barr tackle? Like, the rules got softened BECAUSE OF YOU A-ARON!
“Soft society”? From a guy who does nothing but cry about people being mean to him? The biggest snowflake in the league and he’s telling me society is softening?
I love when insanely rich people who have access to hyperspace medical care call the working class soft.
Cue the "we are NOT SOFT !!!" Comments
He aint lying though. The rules are getting it to be so hard to play defense. Im 30 and its wild to see where this game is headed compared to where it was in 2009 ish when i was in HS. Player safety matters but at a certain point you just cant prevent injuries.
The 'softening of society' is what will make the headlines as click bait and based on people's opinions they already have of a-rod they wont even listen to what hes trying to say. If you get bothered by that quote, then its you he is referring to.
Wasn’t Aaron scared to take a vaccine shot?
Talk about soft lmao
