“You can’t trust Aaron Rodgers when it’s time”: Skip Bayless rips into Packers QB after being eliminated from the 2023 playoffs

Aaron Rodgers Reveals He Received Death Threats From Packers Fans After Taking Over as the QB1: "Had Some Chips Built Up Against Some of My Own Fans"

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers couldn’t qualify for the playoffs, marking the end of a sad season. Skip Bayless was eagerly watching and ripped into Rodgers’ performance.

The Packers were slated for a bad year after they lost superstar receiver Davante Adams without a contingency plan in place. Rodgers didn’t find a groove with his younger more inexperienced receivers, and the team struggled out of the gates.

They started the year 3-6, and they were looking like they would struggle going forward too. However, the team put on a magical run and put themselves in a position to make the playoffs.

The Packers faced the Lions, and they had a simple formula to make the playoffs. If they won, they were in. However, they couldn’t put it together in the end with the entire team having a forgetful performance, Rodgers included.

Of course, given the conditions, media analyst Skip Bayless was thrilled to see the Packers out of the playoffs, and more importantly, he was happy to see Aaron Rodgers struggle. The Packers quarterback went 17/27 for 205 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.

Those aren’t great numbers for a quarterback, but of course, the entire loss can’t be pinned on Rodgers. Aaron Jones had a fumble, and there were several other mistakes that led to the loss. For Skip, it didn’t matter though.

Of course, the retirement talks came into play following the post-game incident. Rodgers was asked to give up his jersey, but he refused, claiming that he couldn’t give that one away.

Why would he say for a game where he played poorly, lost, and missed the playoffs? There was nothing notable. However, if he was retiring, then that would mark the last jersey he would ever wear.

It is also too early for all these discussions. We had the same conversation last year, and in the end, Rodgers ended up staying despite all the drama. Perhaps we’re calling this too soon.
