Aaron Rodgers Is Very Sensitive About His Height

60 Minutes ran a profile of Aaron Rodgers last night, and it was, as is customary for most of their non-tennis sports segments, not really designed for sports fans. (Did you know the Packers play in a small town, but have won a lot of championships, and their fans really love the team? I hope you didn't, because Scott Pelley spent nearly half the piece hammering that home.)

Rodgers's late growth spurt isn't new ground either; in his E:60 profile last year, we learned he wasn't recruited out of high school because he was just 5'11", 165 pounds. But he's clearly still very salty about it, even three inches and 60 pounds later. One poor fan who won a contest to meet him, clearly the high point of the guy's life, made the mistake of telling Rodgers he looks smaller in person. Bad move.

Why did that send Rodgers into a full-on sulk?

   "You know I— I just that, that's one of the more ridiculous comments that could be thrown at me is that. Especially coming from somebody who's 5'7"."

Later in the segment, Greg Jennings and Clay Matthews explain that this doesn't surprise them—Rodgers takes a lot of things personally.

   Jennings: He's sensitive. So you got to be careful what you say around him.

   Matthews: Real sensitive.

   Jennings: You know, he takes everything to heart.

   Pelley: What kind of things are you talking about?

   Jennings: Like once he sees this interview, he's going to be sensitive to what, the fact that we're saying he's sensitive.

   Matthews: Yeah. So, I'll compliment him on the clothes he wears. Just make him feel good. And consequently he'll go out, feel good, play good, make us feel good. So, we just, you know, give him a pat on the back every once in a while.

   Pelley: A little quarterback management?

   Both: Absolutely.

That's OK. QBs are human too. But it's delightful and maybe a little incongruous that Aaron Rodgers's teammates need to give him daily affirmations to keep him from moping like a sullen teenager.

Damn, I guy that good at what he does and is a total Beta. Even the guys on his team have to pump his tires all the time. Who would have thunk it.

Sounds like the fans of other teams he plays could really get into his head with little effort. Maybe ebomb the Packers site with ARodgers Memes.

You can tell just by the way he looks on his commercials.

Meh. Who cares. Everyone has stupid shit of their own. He's still a top 3 QB depending on who you ask currently in the NFL. Would you rather have this guy on your team, or some thug who has more rapes than tackles. At least there's no "Rodger's Rule" unlike one of the other QBs in the NFL

He's ahead of Eli and Ben. Also, Clay Mathews is pretty funny. I like his fathead commercial.

Rings don't make you a great QB. Does that mean flacco was the best of his time? Tim tebow could've won a ring with that defense

That makes no sense.

flpl88 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 05, 2012, 07:32:40 PM »

How does that not make sense? Dilfer won a Superbowl but he was no where near an elite QB. Arguing a ring makes you the best QB makes no sense... I could argue and say it makes the giants have the best center because he has a ring. If football was 1v1 then it may be a little different

-Sorry I meant Dilfer in my original post, not Flacco. I'm a dumbass

But yea. Anyone who says Dilfer was a top 5 or even top 10 QB when he won a ring is just a flat out idiot. He was paid not to throw an interception or fumble. Didn't matter if he threw for 50 yards they still managed to win

Exactly,

Dan Marino had a legendary coach, grey wide receivers and a decent defense , yet his ego was so large he refused to be a team player and have a running game , his talent/ego kept him from ever being a champion

Your saying you wouldn't take big ben as your Qb???

He is one of the best escape QB in the league after the play breaks down, and is 5th in quarterback rating this season

And btw I hate Pittsburg and rapeherburger

He wasn't a team player. Wouldn't allow them to have a running game. Was supposedly coked out of his mind most of his career...

yup, i was a huge marino fan as a kid, had his jersey, almost all his cards including rookie card, but the dude threw the ball 60 times a game with the run and shoot 5 receivers (no tight end or running backs)

Heard he also failed his drug test thats why he feel some spots in the draft
