Packers Fans React To Greg Jennings Latest Comments About Aaron Rodgers

Greg Jennings was a Wide Receiver for Green Bay Packers from 2006-2012.  He played an instrumental role in the Packers’ championship run in 2010.  All of that being said, what Greg Jennings has done since he left has typically turned Packers Nation completely against him.  This time, however, Greg Jennings had a more wholesome approach towards Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.  During a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” or AMA, Jennings responded to multiple direct questions from Packers fans.

Greg Jennings Responds To Multiple Packers Fans’ Questions

On the Packers subreddit /r/GreenBayPackers:

Hi Greg, do you truly not like Aaron or is it all for hot takes on tv?

I absolutely love Aaron and have always spoken honestly in the meeting rooms at dinner tables and my commentary has never been to personally attack him due to being disgruntled. I believe because of the way I left and what I said as I departed paints the picture of everything I say with a dark cloud. And to be honest, my network or any other platform for that matter, never posts the complementary things I say because it doesn’t create the buzz

Hi Greg, why do you use every opportunity you can to take jabs at Aaron Rodgers and the Packers?

I really don’t. It just appears that way because no one ever pose or share. The complementary takes that I have because that’s not exciting. What’s exciting is oh there’s Greg saying something again that goes against the grain when it’s really just truth and it’s not pointed or personal it’s just analysis. Also, I think it’s because I don’t show any bias. It’s just it’s a part of the job I truly try to paint a picture of what needs to be shared and what my thoughts are given the situation. Now you got understand anything that happens revolving around Green Bay or Aaron they’re gonna pick up the phone and say hey Greg can you can you come on this or can you talk about this so it always appears that I’m always talking about the Packers because let’s be honest that’s the way the media sets it up. They have a Steelers guy they have a patriots guy they have cowboys representation and they have packers representation. These are teams that are widely known and fan bases are everywhere and they know they’re gonna constantly be in the media because of the franchises popularity and history, or the quarterback and the relationship of the player to that team.  I hope this answered the question And forgive all my grammar errors

Are Packers fans going to buy that? Who knows, but I’m sure we can all acknowledge there’s probably at least some level of truth to what Jennings is saying in the two responses above.

Jennings would also go on to answer questions about him leaving for the Vikings, his standing with the Packers fan base and if he has regrets about how everything panned out.

What exactly happened when you left for the Vikings? The official story seems to be that you felt insulted by the Packers offer and were expecting to get much more money, but then those offers never came so you signed with the Vikings for much less.  Do you regret not signing the Packers offer?

This is basically what it boils down too. I wanted to stay, I made it known to everyone but that wasn’t in the plans for me. Hindsight, from a pure football perspective of course continuing to play with Aaron would have been amazing but I don’t regret moving on because Minnesota has provided my family with a great deal of opportunity. I hope I answered your question. Not trying to dodge it

Hi Greg. What’s it like to have played for an organization as iconic as the Packers and having great success while there, to then be disliked by a large portion of the fan base due to your words and actions after leaving the team? Do you wish you would have handled things differently?

It was amazing playing for the Packers. It was difficult going through the entire process feeling as though all i had done wasn’t enough to remain a Packer. I’ve said often that I completely mishandled the situation. Even if I knew it to be my truth, that was not the way I should’ve handled it.

I’m a people person, so I’d be lying if i said it doesn’t hurt to be fully embraced. All I can do now is move forward with no malice toward any personnel, player, and fan.

Greg Jennings was recently inducted into Green Bay’s hall of fame, maybe he is attempting to use the opportunity to re-connect with Packers fans.  It will be interesting to see how Packers Nation reacts to these answers.  Will Packers fans be ready to forgive him and accept him?  Or has too much damage been done to recover?  Many Packers fans took to social media after finding out about Jennings’ recent comments:
