Rodgers has gradually transmogrified into a more talented version of Jay Cutler.
That's a bizarre conclusion. Rodgers has a massive ego but he clearly cares a lot about winning. Cutler would have been fine with McCarthy coaching his whole career as long as GB kept cutting them checks.
I don't agree with your characterization of Cutler, but that's beside the point.
Of course Rodgers cares about winning. And of course he's a transcendent talent. But he's also toxic. He destroyed his relationship with his family. And he seems to have done something similar in the locker room. These observations aren't meant to invalidate his criticism of his coaches--but taken together, they certainly raise questions about his ability to express criticism constructively or function in a hierarchical environment where he occupies a secondary position.
Where are you getting the stuff about the locker room? I follow the team pretty closely and outside of ex teammates Finley and Jennings there's no talk of locker room tension. And both those players have an obvious ax to grind.
Nobody here knows what happened with him and his family so I think it's unreasonable to speculate that it's on him, especially when there have been reports that his family tried to extort money out of him once he reached the NFL.
I don't think you have much of a case here, counselor.
Rodgers was deliberately undermining the coach, freezing out players who didn't adhere to his commands, and has an organization-wide reputation as an oversensitive narcissist. That's not toxic?
Additionally, it's not just his family that he jettisoned from his life like so much garbage. Rodgers did the same thing to several long-time close friends who never received an explanation for his abrupt change in behavior.
Sounds like a bad guy to me.
