Looks like it was right around when he got out of the NFL.

That's kind of my point, an athlete of that level can say/do anything and as long as they keep playing football everyone goes along with it

With Rodgers trying to transition to podcasts before retiring from the NFL, he may never get that moment of clarity where he's not surrounded by yes men. Especially since saying insane shit on podcasts is probably the most attention he's gotten not connected to football

For the entirety of Aaron Rodgers' life, people are going to be telling him he's amazing, and that fucks with everyone's head. You can't only get positive feedback and wind up well adjusted.
