[@IsmailTube999]

He summed up Peyton's pre-snaps perfectly, I never really thought about the simplicity of how Peyton ran the offense back in the day

[@plisskin83]

An interview with a quarterback where they actually talk about football. Refreshing.

[@michaelneil7999]

true!

[@Mr21scott]

Oh sure, you hardly ever see interviews with QBs where they talk about football. RME.

[@Ray_Petree]

Aaron Rodgers is the closest thing to Montana we've had thus far. Enjoy his talent. I'm a Packers fan and I pray he retires with us.

[@supersomebody101]

Ok the last sentence explains why u think Aaron Rodgers is a Joe Montana. FYI Aaron is overAted. 77 yards against Broncos lol. Could barely throw 250 yards in games without Jordy Nelson. He will be exposed as overAted again this year

[@iWinRar]

+DeadMoNeyProductions BP it needed up being that way is because in the end it threw everything off as when u get to 3rd receiver tempo is off

[@Ray_Petree]

You're not focusing on the process. His pre-snap approach, the way he reads defenses, his footwork in the pocket, his arm, accuracy, how dangerous he is on the right side, how he can extend plays despite the receivers who can't create separation. Rodgers hasn't had a top tier defense since '10 or '11. He's never had Ronnie Lott on the other side of the ball, or Jerry Rice. And, he damn sure hasn't had a coach like Walsh.

[@supersomebody101]

Ray Petree I used to be a big fan of his but watchin his struggle last season and bein overhyped made me dislike him. Even when he plays bad everyone is ready to call him the greatest with one ring and a bunch of excuses. He can rebound and prove his hype one day but I'm sick of excuses bein made for him when he struggles. Meanwhile Brady has the worst offensive line in the game and nearly makes it to the Super Bowl and puts up big numbers with less then a second to throw. I dislike him because people make excuses for him and Peyton but never for Brady. I'm sure one might come from u. Also even if he starts provin me wrong and dominating again I'll never root for a guy that disowns his own family. I don't root for traitors.

[@Ray_Petree]

Brady had Gronk too. Rodgers forced overtime with 7th and 8th string receivers lol

[@Allagi22]

Exactly what Rodgers said: Doesn't matter who you have in the backfield, who you have open, the offensive line protects the quarterback. If you do not have a great offensive line.....hardly matters who is quarterback because he is either getting sacked left and right or has to throw way too early under pressure/throw it out of bounds/spike it/attempt a run he doesn't want to do. OFFENSIVE LINE IS KEY FOR A GREAT QUARTERBACK TO DO GREAT THINGS. So many NFL teams just don't understand that. The offensive line cannot be understated. If the best defensive is a good offensive it starts and ENDS with a good offensive line. A mediocre quarterback can make great throws if he has an extra second or two or maybe even three. Offensive line is paramount.

[@walihenry4600]

ahepperl I totally agree. When you give a qb a good line,he'll find a open receiver.

[@xswooshx]

I'm a Lions fan (ugh, I know), but Rodgers has been one of my favorites since maybe a year after he got the top job in Green Bay. I actually root for Rodgers a bit when he's playing Detroit, despite me not wanting him to win ;-) At about 6:15 in the video, he talks about "sensing it," as to when the defensive line might jump offside. That's an incredible sense that might come naturally to him, but is evasive for many QBs, NFL-quality or not. This is a really interesting conversation and I subbed to Simmons and this channel just because of it. Rodgers clearly "gets it" and, if you're in leadership at all, you can derive a lot from his comments.

[@KJC_23]

He's a BAAAAAAAAAAAAD MAN - Stephen A Smith voice

[@eamkelley14]

I love how much respect he has for everyone else in the game. As all the really good players do. Also you can see why he scored so high on his SAT haha.

[@seansnipes8334]

Shut up

[@usmcmikeco0651]

Is 1310 really that high? I didn't know that

[@feverspell]

@@usmcmikeco0651 It was at the time Aaron took them. I'm a year and a half older than him, so we took our SATs around the same time. Back then, the score was out of 1600. Now it's 2400, I believe. So, a 1310 out of 1600 is phenomenal.

[@Yeomannn]

@@feverspell When I took it in 2016 it was out of 1600 I got 1250

[@dmjdmj]

I cannot believe we passed on Rodgers for Alex Smith.

[@zaxx29]

And Tom Brady multiple times!

[@jo-jowei6147]

@@zaxx29 Technically the Patriots also passed up on Brady multiple times before they finally picked him.

[@westworlds]

@@jo-jowei6147 But they did pick him tho.

[@gavinbrando8255]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@saltedllama2759]

The best currently playing (Rodgers) speaking about the best of all-time (Manning). Great stuff!

[@Mobile253]

couldn't agree more

[@seahawks1185]

I'd take Wilson over Rodgers any day of the f'ing week, he's Rodgers + Athletic ability, massive poise and leadership. Intangibles...

[@Mobile253]

+Sea Hawks look at your profile pic and name... lol

[@dewarmcnamara]

hahaha you can't be serious.

[@seanim6846]

You can almost feel his confidence. I am Aaron Rogers.

[@Mrforever34]

In Aaron we trust

[@stevengutzeit1358]

at 5:26 Aaron the word is extent lmaoo nice backup word with depth though

[@justincase9281]

Not only Arron Rogers is handsome but also he is very smart!

[@bh-0330]

Very smart guy

[@_Vissal_]

I need that jacket.

[@walihenry4600]

Brown Dynamite That jawn fly as shit ain't it🤣🤣🤣

[@AAsSpinebuster]

7:06 ..... Simmons was trying so hard to get Rodgers to say the name "Favre." Guarantee Simmons had questions about Favre that he didn't get to ask. I like the tactic there, Simmons.

[@bakermayfieldthepuppetmaes5980]

Love Aaron a lot, a real treat to watch

[@omieg89]

I would love to watch Rodgers prepare for games.

[@NBAkingsfan10]

Aaron Rodgers and John Elway are the 2 most talented QB's of all time.

[@Jamie-wu6vr]

Arron Rodgers:yes,,, Elway: ur drunk

[@jaredkens394]

Yeah agreed Aaron Rodgers and John Elway the most talented QB ive ever seen with my own two eyes. Elway and Rodgers both Rocket Arms and can escape and throw Rockets downfield outside the pocket

[@jdaily2293]

@@Jamie-wu6vr Your comment is 5+ years old but got me to comment that’s how dumb it is, Elway was a protege and he got them to 5 super bowls, could he have done a little better with talents? Yeah but talent wise dude was unprecedented at the time and only a few of the QBs of the 21st century can compare. He was immensely more talented than Montana and that’s what he was saying pure talent.

[@diontaedaughtry974]

What a great player 👍👍

[@ShufflePetro]

I like Aaron as much as Brady. Best QBs in the game at the moment IMO

[@LuisHernandez-wy2ic]

Joseph Petro lw

[@joseurrutia1877]

Joseph Petro exactly everyone one is arguing who is better and I’m like why can’t you enjoy both Talented players

[@Chargers2114]

Phenomenal

[@omieg89]

I just love listening to Rodgers interviews. Not even a packers fan.

[@JeffdBrannon]

This might sound random, but Rodgers' voice kind of sounds like Nicholas Cage. Just a little bit.

[@jonnierotten7]

Not even close.

[@seahawks1185]

It does, in a slight way, I see where KJC23 is coming from.

[@Drinking_and_Golfing]

This is old news. Deon Sanders explained the meaning of "Omaha" the very next day it blew up. He said, "omaha means, on one". I'm guessing you guys missed that segment

[@ericsmith8254]

Bill Simmons classic

[@geneekrd901]

Watching at 1230am while he’s injured before the saints game 2017.😭

[@Saleem-tm9lu]

Ik man that was such a tough time!😭😭😭😭

[@saltedllama2759]

Simmons is also wrong about the rules favoring offenses. For a few years, the changes absolutely favored offenses, but defenses and their coordinators have adjusted. The best teams in recent years have won championships with stellar defensive play. Even the Patriots won by getting a huge stop at the goal line.

[@seansnipes8334]

Ur wrong

[@alklinesradu5539]

I seriously hate the packers and prefer Vikings much more than them but I love Aaron Rodgers. He's my favorite QB ever. Love watching him play and give out interviews but a shame he's with the packers. Although, I hate them less and less each year watching Aaron Rodgers make all these great plays.

[@KiDDaGamer]

Join the bandwagon. Leave them Vikings

[@kcbehrens]

+KDG No bandwagon to join since everyone claims that the packers suck, which is not true at all

[@johnsmith9782]

You can have Arod in about another ten years, when he's on his last leg, you know, like Favre. The Vikes are always happy to get a decent QB from the Green Bay pasture. You wish your team could pick and develop QB's like the Packers do, but it will never happen.

[@LAsHoGuY]

Ain't this guy from the hot wing show?

[@Jamie-wu6vr]

I wonder how A. Rod is drunk

[@stanpeterson3944]

seems like a cool dude

[@DROIDZ_YouTube]

*Now that Peyton is out of the league I will be rooting for Rodgers*

[@k-will9348]

Aaron seems incredibly sharp.. I'm sure he is, considering most NFL QB's are fuckin geniuses.

[@evilone36]

NY Bozo was the best!!

[@walihenry4600]

He's a cool muthafucka😎

[@thatoneguy3849]

Why is he so zen?

[@idansolon4715]

Simmons apparently doesn’t realize the OL is more important than RB or WR.

[@liammccarthy9388]

Ripping their ass in the huddle #gunslinger

[@sneakyquick]

I never thought I could love a qb more than favre

[@seansnipes8334]

How dare you ... Smh

[@swiperboysb6897]

when they talk about his brother jordan and the estrangled family relationship?

[@ManofGold24]

Green Bay will win Superbowl LI. Take it to the bank.

[@danielsteel5251]

Packers/Cowboys was nicely done. Let's see what the Falcons bring.

[@ManofGold24]

As cool as it would be for me to hit on a prediction made in july, I doubt they beat Atlanta on Sunday. Green Bay does not have the defense to stop ATLs weapons.

[@danielsteel5251]

Hard to watch ... :-(

[@ManofGold24]

Daniel Steel it was. Hopefully the front office brings in some defensive help next season.

[@BlitzinLB27]

LMMMMFAO!!!!

[@shihlin1]

Nice jacket, nice undershirt too. Also, unless you've been living under a rock, most know he and Olivia Munn are no more, some say she was his "beard", a cover-up to mask those pesky gay rumors about him. Actually this show host seems gay.

[@BasicallyBananas]

What a bizzarre comment

[@EthanPricco]

My Grandma Died yeah I know

[@daniellestrugenberg4969]

This interview is why bill simmons hates Aaron. He is smarter than him. It’s why most media hate Aaron. Hate that he left us but super excited he is going to expose the media. Jimmy Kimmel maybe?

[@gabdav101]

Bill probably cringed when Aaron Rodgers praised Manning and not brady.... The best qb of today´s nfl knows who the G.O.A.T. is...............

[@maellepinard-aung439]

The odd plastic selectively exercise because profit prenatally sip before a noiseless red. amusing, zealous clerk

[@ThePacemaker45]

This dude hates his own family

[@roter13]

or maybe his family did something to make it that way. how do you know that Jordan didn't sell stories about him or do him wrong in another way

[@ThePacemaker45]

Lol, I never said he was unjustified in hating his family though.......regardless, I highly doubt if and when in fact we do find out the reason for the perceived estrangement, we would all go "well thats a perfectly good reason to completely cut off your family from your life"

[@iWinRar]

+ThePacemaker45 only person that says he hates is Jordan who is jealous because he couldn't make it

[@ThePacemaker45]

very good reason to hate your younger brother, you're right

[@seahawks1185]

Money, jealousy, envy, the root of all evil, and many more reasons.
