[QUOTE="Do7, post: 810287, member: 13398"] Donald Driver only said Rodgers holds people accountable, he was in no way speaking negative about Rodgers, he even said so via Twitter. [USER=11933]@PackAttack12[/USER] Other names to include are TJ Lang, AJ Hawk, Josh Sitton, John Khun, and future HOF Charles Woodson. [USER=12360]@elcid[/USER] I respectfully disagree: 1. There is no difference between a leader and true leader in this case. Rodgers has proven to lead by example. His way has proven to work as the team has been winning up until this year. Every person leads differently. I'll use Drew Brees as a case and point. Drew Brees from my understanding is everyone's definition of a true leader, and yet we forget that he's had several seasons that he went 7-9 and missed the playoffs as to Rodgers who has been a model of consistency. Is he still a true leader after failing to get his team through adversity? Brees is still a true leader in spite of that. Preference in the how someone leads should not factor as to whether or not they are a true leader, as Rodgers' way of leading has proven to be successful outside this year. So one bad year gives and now he isn't a true leader? 2. Who's to say Rodgers hasn't gotten to the FO and voiced his concerns and whatnot. Plus with the combination of the FO getting rid of his QB coach, someone who he greatly respected, and Jordy Nelson, a trusted vet and one of Rodgers most trusted receivers and close friend, that just snowballs into more and more that ultimately falls on him. Plus he's voiced previous players like Jared Cook for example, and yet they didn't listen, and look how well he is doing for Oakland despite there record. He knows he's going to have to build chemistry which is gonna take time, and yet he's expected to put up a lot of points. Hence why when asked he gave an honest assessment to where they were as with the season coming up and he's pretty much coming in with a new group of receivers outside Adams, Cobb, and Allison, two of which who have both been AWOL and injured. Again what I find strange is that people excuse Brady and Manning for yelling at teammates and coaches, and yet they're true leaders and adored and yet it's a problem when Rodgers shows a bit of frustration. Again there have been plenty of former players who have enjoyed playing under Rodgers and have spoken highly of him. Refer to [USER=11933]@PackAttack12[/USER] and my posts regarding who has related to people who have spoken well in regards to Rodgers. 3. I agree that in regards to Rodgers play on the field is the only thing we should be criticizing him over, but let's not pretend he doesn't acknowledge his **** poor performance and where he could've done better at the podium after the game. Because he's the first person to blame himself especially when he plays poorly. He holds himself accountable, and not once has he thrown a teammate under the bus at the podium.
