Aaron Rodgers and Stephen A. Smith
Aaron Rodgers has done it again. He and the Green Bay Packers have once again fallen short of the Super Bowl marking the 11th consecutive season where they haven’t played in the sport’s biggest game. Out of all their previous defeats, this one at the hands of the 49ers may just be the most embarrassing of them all.
This was a Packers team that was primed for a Super Bowl run like none of the other previous teams besides their 2011 team that went 15-1. This team was simply better, healthier and playing in their most favored conditions against a team that was in an unfamiliar environment and they STILL managed to throw it away.
It was a plain embarrassing and disgraceful performance by Aaron Rodgers who by the way, is the leading candidate for the league MVP award. It’ll be the second year in a row where the best player in the NFL, according to the award, will have failed to take his team to the league’s biggest stage. No one is holding back on Rodgers and Stephen A. Smith is the latest to have a go at him.
Stephen A. Smith lets loose on Aaron Rodgers
Appearing on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ Stephen A. Smith was quoted saying “The ‘Bad Man’ no longer applies. It’s just one game in a lot of people’s eyes. Not mine. When he beat Chicago, he made news earlier this year. He said I still own you. He forgot to mention who he’s owned by and that’s the San Francisco 49ers in the postseason. 0-4. You can’t lose that game. You can’t do it.”
Smith further went on to say “You, Aaron Rodgers. You had Matt LaFleur. And you can’t score more than points at Lambeau field in snowy conditions you’re very familiar with? I understand that San Francisco struggled, they don’t have to deal with the weather conditions that you’re accustomed to. They rolled into Lambeau Field, Green Bay Wisconsin where the only things that are relevant are Aaron Rodgers and cheese, and somehow, someway found a way to hold you to 10 points.”
His final statement sums up how quite literally, the entire nation was feeling about the performance, saying “It was the worst defeat of Aaron Rodgers’ career and it could not have come at a worse time. Because of all that noise you made coming into the season and the noise you made by being the deliberate liar in chief with the whole immunization and all that stuff. You got a playoff game, we threw all of that aside and we said ok this is your time and you came up short. He could be handed the league MVP award and nobody would give a damn. You’re the man who came up fragrantly short. This is legacy defining at this point.”
Stephen A. Smith is known for his bold takes and his loud personality when it comes to things like this but in this case, literally, the whole nation agrees with him because it is true. For all the past defeats, the embarrassment, the statements made before the season, it all came down to this postseason and Rodgers failed to deliver…again. The only thing Aaron Rodgers achieved this weekend is confirming that he has no right whatsoever to be in the GOAT argument.
