What happened to Aaron Rodgers? Seriously.
Here’s a player who was the epitome of an NFL quarterback in 2010. Six years later, you’d think Rodgers was a rookie from an FCS school in North Dakota. Wait, bad example. Sorry Carson Wentz.
Rodgers’ passes seem to always be slightly off, and it often seems like he’s meeting his receivers for the first time each game. The once feared offense of the NFL North now seems to have a Cutler-esque feel. That’s a scary proposition considering all the years Packers fans spent basking in the guaranteed two interceptions a game tossed by the Bears’ starter. So what’s the deal with No. 12?
Could it be that the Green Bay receivers just aren’t open? Many a color analyst noted during 2015 Packers games that the receivers just couldn’t separate from the opposition’s secondary. This was partly due to the fact …show more content…

Being a professional athlete is a lot more work than most people could ever imagine. That said, being an elite professional athlete is damn near impossible. Rodgers has been just that: an elite-level quarterback who is capable of completely dominating a football game. But that was a few years ago. Since 2015, Rodgers just doesn’t seem like the same quarterback who won the NFL MVP award in 2011 and 2014.
Could it be that time is catching up with Green Bay’s signal caller? After all, he’s 32 years old and in his 12th NFL season. Rodgers spent some of that time backing up the Hall-of-Famer Brett Favre, but he has been the Packers’ starter since 2008. For the rest of us “normal” people, 32 is young. For a professional athlete in a sport as physically demanding as football, 32 is on the downside of a
