Is Aaron Rodgers a poor leader? | The Herd

All right, let's start with the Aaron Rodgers absence. It's a choice. He attended the voluntary OTAs. He did not attend knees. So I mean, Robert Sala called it an an unexcused absence, which just poured gas on it, I think a little bit. Let's start with that. What was your opinion on Sala? He could have kept that to himself coming out and saying publicly at the podium it's unexcused. Was that a mistake by Sala? No, because I think that they felt like internally it will be opening Pandora's box. If they did excuse it. They could have 20 guys next year coming to them and and asking for for mandatory mini camp or something else mandatory off if they allowed this. And I think the important thing is the way it was handled internally. They went to Aaron and sat down and talked to him about this and talked through the whole thing. And I'm not saying Aaron loves the idea of being fined, but he did understand why it was an unexcused absence. You know, with the line there being one team, one set of rules. And you know, here's the other part of it, Colin, like I, I think the spring is for is more for guys who are in year two, year three-year four, year five. And they really felt through like through the 10 OTA practices, they were able to get enough out of it or they could make the mini camp something that could be a little bit more geared towards some of those younger guys. Aaron got the work that he needed to get in. We could argue about the the, the, the handling of a handling of it. Of course, like, I, I personally would have loved to have seen Aaron Rodgers come out and explain it himself so his coaches or his teammates wouldn't have to. But I don't think this is going to be a big deal when The Jets report in the summer. I think it's a big deal because nothing's happening in the NFL right now in the middle of June.
