Aaron Rodgers: I Don't Need 40 TD Passes For Us To Win

Dec 27, 2019 10:54 AM

Aaron Rodgers is aware of his statistics, but he doesn't have to carry the Green Bay Packers anymore.

"I think the level of success and the way that I feel I'm playing is different in this offense this year," Rodgers said. "I don't need to throw 40 touchdowns for us to win. I need to be great on my checks, be as efficient as possible. I need to take care of the football."

Rodgers needs 321 yards in Green Bay's season finale to reach 4,000 for the season. He has thrown for 321 yards in a game only twice this season, and he hasn't thrown for even 250 yards in any of his past seven games.

Dec 16, 2019 8:33 AM

Matt LaFleur has reiterated that he has "full trust" in Aaron Rodgers at the line of scrimmage.

"I have full trust in Aaron [Rodgers]," LaFleur said. The Green Bay Packers coach made it clear that, despite the theoretical construction of his offense, Rodgers has a blank check to call whatever audible he chooses, whenever he wants.

"He's seen enough during his career," LaFleur said. "I trust he'll make the right call."

Aaron Rodgers Sees Career 'Making The Turn' Toward 18th Hole

Dec 5, 2019 9:19 AM

Aaron Rodgers turns 36 this week and is nearing the end of his 15th season in the NFL.

"Yeah, that and seeing the 18th hole coming up, realizing I can't play forever and the opportunities don't come along all the time," Rodgers said.

The Green Bay Packers have missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, but they will be playing meaningful games in December and likely January.

Rodgers has repeatedly said that he plans to play into his 40s, but in continuing his golf-as-a-metaphor-for-his career analogy, all he would say he is he's "making the turn, I think."
