The lack of remorse, excuse-making, and misleading comments drew the ire of many members of the NFL media. Terry Bradshaw, Tony Dungy and other prominent NFL analysts ripped into Rodgers. Brees’ criticism could hurt Rodgers a bit more. Brees is a contemporary, a rival, and a respected competitor.
What did Drew Brees have to say about Rodgers?
Brees hit out at Rodgers’ lack of availability yesterday as the Packers lost ground in a tight race for the number one seed:
Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy added his take on the situation:
Rodgers lost the PR battle this week. The great quarterback lied to everyone and abandoned his teammates in a critical moment. Moreover, Rodgers never apologized to anybody. Drew Brees was arguably the greatest leader of a franchise in the modern NFL.
Brees understands leadership, and he understands the responsibility required. Rodgers abandoned everything to justify his own mistakes. How Rodgers rebuilds his reputation amongst his peers, and colleagues remains to be seen.
The Packers take on the Seattle Seahawks next week. There is doubt about Rodgers’ return for that game, and Jordan Love could struggle again. Brees, Dungy and other experts could pile on the criticism if the Packers lose more ground.
