Former Packers’ Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Voted NFL’s ‘Most Annoying Player’

Aaron Rodgers was always a polarizing figure during his 18 years with the Green Bay Packers.

Now by at least one metric, Rodgers has been voted the NFL’s ‘Most Annoying Player.’

Action Network recently polled more than 3,000 football fans and asked a handful of questions, including who is the league’s ‘Most Annoying Player?’

Rodgers, now with the New York Jets, was the runaway winner garnering 27% of the vote. Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce was second with 17% and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham was third at 10%.

Rodgers was named ‘Most Annoying’ by 24 of the NFL’s 32 fan bases, including Green Bay’s. Kelce was named ‘Most Annoying’ by the other eight fan bases.

Rodgers, one of the most talented, yet enigmatic players in Packer history, left behind a complicated legacy. Despite one of the more impressive résumés in team history, Rodgers never captured the fan base like BrettBrett -0.1% Favre, Bart Starr, Don Hutson or Reggie White.

Rodgers won four MVP awards — the second-most in team history — and led Green Bay to the 2010 Super Bowl title. But over his final years with the Packers, Rodgers performed poorly in big games. He was also at the center of continuous off-the-field drama that alienated many fans and did tremendous harm to his reputation in Green Bay.

Rodgers was constant commotion, an endless array of fuss. As the years passed, and the noise from Rodgers got louder, his supporters dwindled.

The drama began as the passive-aggressive Rodgers took continuous jabs at former head coach Mike McCarthy throughout the years. And while McCarthy lost his fastball during his final days in Green Bay, he also lost the support of Rodgers.

McCarthy was fired on Dec. 2, 2018 — which ironically was Rodgers’ 35th birthday — and Rodgers was given the label of ‘Coach Killer.’

Just five hours before the 2021 NFL Draft, word leaked that Rodgers didn't want to ever play for Green Bay again. Rodgers eventually reported to training camp, but only after the Packers agreed to give him a say in personnel decisions, which included trading for wideout Randall Cobb that summer.

Rodgers skipped the Packers’ offseason program in 2022, a time he could have developed chemistry with a revamped wide receiver group. What followed was a dreadful 8-9 season for Green Bay in which Rodgers and the receivers were never in sync.

Rodgers was critical of Matt LaFleur throughout the 2022 season, at one point saying his head coach needed to “simplify the offense.”

And he took shots at his teammates, telling his pal Pat McAfee: “Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing, you know. Gotta start cutting some reps, and maybe guys who aren't playing, give them a chance.”

Rodgers went on a darkness retreat, took an ayahuasca journey and lied about being vaccinated during his final years in Green Bay.

And when he was traded to the New York Jets on April 26, 2023, his popularity with Packer Nation was in the tank.

The Jets hoped Rodgers could help resurrect their dreadful franchise. Instead, Rodgers played just four snaps in 2023 before suffering a torn Achilles tendon. And this offseason, Rodgers skipped the Jets’ mandatory OTA’s with an ‘unexcused absence.’

Kelce, one of the top tight ends in NFL history, has drawn massive media coverage for his relationship with singer/songwriter Taylor Swift. Kelce is also a spokesman for both Pfizer and Bud Light, two highly controversial companies that many have chosen to boycott.

The research was commissioned by the Action Network and carried out online by Research Without Barriers (RWB). The survey was conducted between July 31-Aug.5, 2024, and the sample comprised 3,013 USA NFL fans.

Rodgers had a higher peak than any QB who ever played, he just didn't stay up there that long.

As a Vikings fan I wouldn't admit it even if I thought that. But I will admit that between about 2011-2016 or so he played the position as well or better than anyone I'd watched before. Mahomes is prolly a better QB, but Rodger's arm was epic. Like 65 yards with a flick of the wrist.

Absolutely the most annoying NFL player.

Lmao.  I dont mind you but my God are you a goob.  

Yea the jab stuff was spot on.  There were no lies about it.   Rodgers did what he wanted and is fine.  Adams his vaxed teammate gave it to him when he had to sit out a game.  Lol.  

The antivax still love him.  Yea well thr pro covid people still hate him for it.   If you hate Rodgers (plenty more to hate him for) for thr vax stuff good chance you are a rube.  He put people at risk!!! Lol

Go root for Pfizer rep Kelce.  How many jabs you get oh you stopped getting boosters?  But they recommend it!  You are anti vax!

[listen2me 23 1,756]

If you havent got boosters they recommend you are anti vax.  Is that logical?

[Hardcore troubadour 14,163]

He was right about the “vaccine”.  Worms must have missed that.

Hey man ill give you he lied.   He went around the question.  His coaches and team knew his position.  

If someone comes up to you and asks is it their business?  I understand we arent a star QB.   But why does that matter?  League knows team knows.  

But if a coach skirts a regular question its fine.  

Make sense.

Its hard for Hack to make sense.  He reminds me of a relentless 12 year old with how he argues things to thr death.

He didn’t “go around the question,” he lied.  He could have “went around the question” by declining to answer.  And no, it’s not fine if a coach lies either.

[listen2me 23 1,756]

My favorite from Hack is he voted for Trump and will again.  Yet spends all day fighting for thr anti Trumps.  Guy is a fraud.  

At least MDC admits hes a fence sitter so he can sit back and talk while saying he votes for 3rd party each year.

Hack likes Am wrestling and maybe did wrestle.  Ive never talked to such a Lib wrestler.   Its rare I think.

I dunno, I’d say the fraud is the one downplaying Trump’s greatest achievement, the focking vaccine.

Why do people have to know?   Whys it anyones business?   He told people that he worked with.  Bottom line.  Because you are a bonifide covid nazi.   You try to hide it behind stuff like well i never said everyone had to get it blah blah blah.   Covid is your number 1.  So hing up on if people got a shot of shlt.  

How many boosters you get Hack.  Thr same people pushing the original recommended many.  I wanna know.

They don’t have to know, that’s why I said he could have declined to answer.  But when asked if he’d been vaccinated, he replied “Yeah.”

Zero boosters for me.  I follow the actual evidence, unlike sheep righties and unlike the CDC.

He used a different word to skirt.  I dont believe media pressed him. Thats their fault.  He fooled people.  He didnt lie.  If someone asks why so and so went back in after hitting his head and they skirt it no one cares.

Answer Hack.   

They recommended.  They have the science.   You didnt even get one?  Why?  Like the first booster when covid was still around?  Just said nah?   Why?   I know plenty of people they got fairly sick with a jab in that phase.  Why wouldnt you get a booster?  I wanna know.

They didn’t have the science, as I stated.

Once Omicron emerged there was minimal effectiveness against infection.

But the data showed that the first 2 shots remained effective against serious disease for younger folks (I am under 40).

And of course everyone knows natural immunity works too which I got in summer 2022.

they didnt have the science on the first "vaxx" either

all our other vaccines get years and years of research and testing not 6 months

"I was immunized"   

Now thay could mean different things to different people.  I dont doubt he took measures and took other than vax.  

Is that a lie?  How is that a lie.  He answered.   He did not say "I got thr covid jab" and not get it.  Thayd be a lie.
