He claimed that he resonates with Rodgers’ approach to questioning conventional beliefs as someone who acknowledges the unknown. The Packers’ offensive tackle mentioned that he believes in the existence of dinosaurs due to the fossil evidence. However, he acknowledges that there still exists a possibility that the fossils were planted.
“I find it hard to believe that dinosaurs aren’t real because of the fossils, but on the same note, who’s to say that those weren’t planted?” he said.
Furthermore, he elaborated on the importance of questioning things like Aaron Rodgers, stating,
“It’s such a fascinating topic because not questioning things is to basically shut off your mind. It’s to be an inactive participant in understanding the world.”
It is safe to say, that David Bakhtiari sets a shining example as a friend who supports Aaron Rodgers’ controversial viewpoints. Despite now being on opposite teams, Bakhtiari finds the silver lining in Rodgers’ controversial statements and appreciates the quarterback’s inquisitive nature, unlike many who are quick to criticize.

Don’t believe what your textbooks taught you or what history said.'”
It is obvious that David Bakhtiari appreciates that Rodgers is not afraid to challenge the status quo.
