Every Tuesday of the NFL season, Aaron Rodgers makes an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
As usual, whenever Rodgers makes any sort of comment on the show, it does not go unnoticed.
After his conversation yesterday, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski made his feelings known about a particular comment that was made.

In his conversation with McAfee, Rodgers talked about his future, not only with the Green Bay Packers but in the league in general.
Gronkowski highlighted a key part of this conversation when Rodgers discussed the fact that he believed he could potentially win an MVP award elsewhere.
The biggest issue of this, at least for Gronkowski, is that Rodgers even mentioned an MVP award when talking about his future in the league.
The MVP award, while a tremendous accolade, doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things.
Super Bowls are the most important metric, especially in a team sport like football.
If an offensive line doesn’t block well, if defensive linemen don’t do their part to get to a quarterback, and if kickers don’t make kicks, a team cannot be successful in the NFL.
This league is not just about one player, and a team cannot find success unless they are clicking on all cylinders.
The Packers might need to take a long look at Rodgers in the offseason.
If he is more focused on individual awards and less on winning Super Bowls and succeeding as a team, it might be time to move on from him.
