Terry Bradshaw wrongly rips ‘weak’ Aaron Rodgers: ‘Who the hell cares who you draft?’

He missed the mark here.

The Aaron Rodgers drama with the Green Bay Packers hit a fever pitch last Thursday before the 2021 NFL draft, but some of it makes sense.

From the way the front office has drafted — the last wide receiver taken in the first two rounds was Davante Adams SEVEN YEARS AGO! And of course taking heir apparent Jordan Love last year — to the coaching decisions (the infamous field goal decision in the NFC championship game), you get it. Rodgers has done all he can to get the Packers back to the Super Bowl.

Does that make him “weak” that he might be done with the franchise? No. But that’s apparently what Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw thinks, as he told WFAN on Monday:

“With him being that upset shows me just how weak he is. Who the hell cares who you draft? He’s a three-time MVP in the league and he’s worried about this guy they drafted last year at No. 1?”

He went on to say the Packers should call his bluff on the retirement talk and mentioned how the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted QBs in his day and Bradshaw brushed it off.

This is just the usual “back in my day” old school ridiculousness that we hear from those who played in a different era. Rodgers is certainly not weak. How long is he supposed to put up with incompetence around him? And yes, the Packers need a contingency plan for when Rodgers isn’t an MVP anymore … but they also need to be aware of what drafting a QB in the first round will do to their superstar. That’s a factor to consider! For some quarterbacks, that might be an insult, and so might be taking Love over Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman Jr., Chase Claypool and so on.

By the way, Bradshaw had similar thoughts on Russell Wilson: “Shut your mouth and play quarterback.”

Ridiculous.
