Aaron Rodgers pulls no punches in his criticism of Packers' young receiving group | NFL | UNDISPUTED

After a downfield pass to rookie Romeo Doubs, who dropped it during a joint practice with the New Orleans Saints, Aaron Rodgers shared his thoughts on the Green Bay Packers young receiving core. The Quarterback slams the receivers, stating they’re dropping passes, not running the right routes, and making bad route decisions. Shannon Sharpe isn’t a fan of what he sees as Rodgers throwing his teammates under the bus, and explains why this leadership style isn’t beneficial for the Packers. Watch as he and Skip Bayless share their thoughts on Rodgers’ comments.

He is doing this to them publicly not to elicit change or to motivate them, but to prepare the media for what he obviously believes is going to be a bad year. He doesn't care about his guys, he cares about what the media is going to say about him in 6-8 weeks when they've lost 4 straight and he doesn't look good. He's trying to frame the narrative now. Brady never did that. He worked with his guys.

That story Shannon shared about restarting practice was about the mindset of a champion. Most will walk away and think it's about perfection, but the true meaning is being reliable and focus every moment of practice that will transcends during gameday. A bad practice = A bad team.

[@jahvonpalmer6775]

Yeah, but if Shannon was going to share a story, shouldn't he have shared one where the the Broncos were already champions? Skip asked him if they were SB champions at the time that Mike would stop practice and Shannon said yes. Then he proceeded to tell a story from October of 97 when the Broncos hadn't even won a SB yet. They didn't win a SB until January of 98. So, Shannon should've given an example from 98.

I've coached baseball for 15 years. I always tell my players: you play like you practice. If you're sloppy in practice, if you're lazy in practice, if you nonchalant a grounder in practice, if you don't hustle going down to first in practice ... you will do the exact same thing during a game. Practice build muscle memory but it also build "will memory". You have to train yourself to make plays, but you also have to train yourself to WANT to make a great play every time. You've got to want the ball on every single pitch.

You're getting paid 50 mil a year, you are paid that much because you are supposed to elevate the offense.

Are we at that point in time where people can’t be held accountable for mistakes?? Did you see that play with Doubs in the joint practice? Doubs had a step on the defender and it hit his hands and he dropped it. Call him out on it. Doubs has grown up catching passes. He went for 1100 yards and 11 TDs in college the year before and everyone is acting like he’s coming in off the streets. If you’re a WR. And the ball hits you right in the hands. CATCH IT. That’s your job. That’s what you’ve been doing your whole life. Don’t baby him and say it’s alright you’ll get them next time. Has that ever worked from a leadership stand point? The way is see it. Is Call people out on their mistakes so they quit making them and praise their strengths and stuff they do well so they keep doing things they’re good at. People are too soft nowadays. Hold people to the highest standard if you see the potential in them so that their focus is on reaching that potential.

[@SaltyLemonChops]

Calling people out is fine but do it to their face, not in front of the media where it becomes a big story. That’s the quickest way to destroy someone’s (especially a rookie) confidence. A leader needs to be direct and honest but should never put their people down in public.

This is why I respect Brady’s leadership abilities (I’m a Packers fan). Brady keeps everything under wrap, any corrections needed, he keeps it behind closed doors. Rodgers finds ways to say the wrong things, and his body language is almost Jay Cutlerish when he is frustrated on the field. There was a quote from an NHL GM: “You can play hurt, but you can’t play with no confidence”. These Packer receivers are in for a long season.

If being told that you have to be consistent and catch passes to stay in the league and see the field is too harsh, then I don't know what to say. He's allowed to praise his young WRs to the media, but he can't tell them that they have to be consistent. These comments are mellow, it isn't even harsh to begin with. He defends Jordan Love with mental mistakes from the young WRs, wants the best out of his teammates, that's a problem.

Think it’s less about him saying they have to be consistent and more about him telling the media they’ve been inconsistent.
