Rodgers takes over sole possession of fourth on the TD list and is sixth in career yards

It goes without saying, but man, what a great career Aaron Rodgers has had. For a player of his stature there is surprisingly little attention being given to this achievement. There was a time when this guy was beloved by every single member of the caste media and all DWFs outside Chicago. Just 5-6 years ago you could find articles and videos of people claiming he was the real GOAT and not Tom Brady. Even though at that time Brady had 6 championships to Rodgers' 1. Media stooges and DWFs alike. That's how deep the love was for Aaron Rodgers at one time.
It makes sense though when you realize it was never real love. Brady was a bit vanilla and a suspected Trumper who threw to a bunch of White guys while Rodgers was a relatively quiet and safe White male who didn't rock the boat or make people feel bad. But things flip so fast in the unserious world we live in. Brady won a 7th championship, lightened up a little in Tampa Bay, and became a fan favorite. Shortly thereafter, people soured on Rodgers for...
gasp...refusing to take an experimental and unproven genetic treatment with ingredients that he was allergic to. Thankfully he didn't let the whining of the poisoned masses affect him and he unapologetically kept marching on. Much like the great Baker Mayfield, he confidently stood up for himself instead of cowering in fear. Contrary to what everyone thought, Rodgers was not a passive statue: he was a man with his own conviction and he was not going to compromise that for anyone.
But that reaction should've been expected. You need to have at least a little testicular fortitude to go from an undersized junior college QB to a 27-year-old Super Bowl MVP. It's really easy to forget that he wasn't supposed to have the career he ended up having. No one expected him to become one of the most talented QBs of all time and a 4-time MVP winner. But now that the clot shot fiasco has been memory-holed, the conversation has shifted to concerns about his age. I hope he keeps proving them wrong just like he's always done.
