Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers has reportedly emerged from his darkness retreat, throughout which era he mirrored on his life, his profession, and the risk of creating a movie about his darkness retreat. Rodgers mentioned he would let the world learn about his resolution to play or retire in 2023 after rising from the gentle cocoon of enlightenment (endarkenment?). Which makes this video posted by former NFL broad receiver Brandon Marshall to his Instagram tonight actually awkward.

“So I wished to be the primary to say, ‘Salute to Aaron Rodgers for an outstanding profession.’ You might be one of many biggest,” Marshall tells the digital camera. “Me personally? You’re my favourite quarterback ever. Favourite. Aaron Rodgers, congratulations on an outstanding profession. You gained a Tremendous Bowl…hell, I by no means even make it to the playoffs. You need to be proud, bro. Your identify and your group, that group, endlessly sketched within the historical past of the NFL. Your youngsters’ youngsters’ youngsters’ youngsters’ goes to have the ability to see that. You gained again to again MVPs. Then you definitely gained three MVPs. You’re phenomenal. It’s okay to stroll away, bro. There’s nothing left to show. Go journey the world. Go discover. Go construct your loved ones.”

Uh.

We’re confused, to say the least.

Unsure what to say about all that, aside from that Marshall appears to have details about Rodgers’ future plans which can be unknown to the general public at giant. He alternately feels like he’s congratulating Rodgers on a call that’s already been made, and urging Rodgers to retire, which … have we ever seen that earlier than?

Didn’t we simply have a quarterback who certain appeared like he performed an entire further season simply to spite the man who broke the information of his retirement first? And if that’s how Tom Brady reacted to getting scooped about his personal retirement, picture how nicely Aaron Rodgers, Mr. Vital Thinker himself, goes to deal with it. Can’t wait to listen to what Joe Rogan thinks of all this.
