Former NFL QB Chris Simms, now with NBC Sports, had an interesting take on Aaron Rodgers’ game while appearing on the “GM Shuffle” podcast.
Simms feels Rodgers might be a little too conservative at times and that’s one reason why he doesn’t throw a lot of picks.
“[Matt] Stafford, the year he won the Super Bowl (with the Los Angeles Rams), led the NFL in interceptions,” Simms said. “You’ve got to be aggressive and make plays. The year of, I’m going to be Aaron Rodgers and throw 48 touchdowns and five interceptions . . . if you have are having those kind of stats, listen, more times than not, you’re not being aggressive enough and you are going to lose to the 49ers in the divisional round when you are the number one seed because you are worried about your quarterbacks ranking and all that.”
It is kind of refreshing to actually hear a football take on Rodgers, instead of critiques of his travel itinerary or position on vaccines, however, some might disagree with Simms’ take that Rodgers’ style of play is too conservative.
