Although I was with McCarthy and Rodgers only in years where Aaron was our backup quarterback, I never saw anything but a close and growing relationship. In those first offseasons of Rodgers’s career, 2006 and 2007, when Brett Favre would be in Mississippi, our young backup was the primary student in what Mike referred to as his “quarterback school.” Indeed, during that time, our front office and coaching staff became true fans of Rodgers and comfortable with, at some point, handing the keys to the franchise to him. Coach and QB were developing a close relationship, which, I was told, only got closer after I left. As to any change in that relationship, I take at face value what both have hinted at: the reality that after a length of time, many relationships become stale and somewhat frayed.

Is the Aaron Rogers & Mike McCarthy dysfunction overblown?

Yes, people just want to create drama. There is conflict in all close relationships. It doesn't mean they hate each other.

No, where there's smoke, there's fire. Rogers’ body language all 2018 season showed how miserable he is with McCarthy.

This is just an excuse to dig deeper into Rogers's personality quirks, criticisms, and questions surrounding his leadership skills or studies as a good teammate. It's less about MCarthy and all about Rogers.

Same thing happened between Brady and Belichick. people see you succeed and want to create drama.
