Recently on Twitter former Packers fullback John Kuhn got into a heated exchange with a media member. The argument stemmed from Aaron Rodgers‘ latest comments on the Pat Mcafee show. Rodgers was talking about mental mistakes made by his team and said, “Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn’t be playing, gotta start cutting some reps.” Multiple teammates of Rodgers like Sammy Watkins and Rasul Douglas backed up and supported Rodgers’ words.
The twitter battle kicked off when Peter Bukowski took a shot at Aaron Rodgers while responding to one of Kuhn’s tweets.
Whether or not he's right is almost irrelevant though. It's a bad look to be like yeah we lost but I had a good game and then list off the mistakes everyone else is making. Even as a joke.
That's not leadership. Especially for a QB playing well below his standard all year.

Kuhn has played for three teams throughout his 12 year career. He was a teammate of Rodgers from 2007-2015. Kuhn also earned a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Green Bay Packers during the 2010 season. He knows what locker room dynamics are like. The heated exchange continued.
It’s ok to say you dont like him Pete. And its ok you are defensive that you are his largest aggressor. Lastly know that his teammates have no problem with his comments, so why do you? https://t.co/XE0hqc2O6v

It's OK to say you're defending him because you're friends John. I'm just a guy watching it play out and a QB look bad acting like he did his best on the group project that got a C.
And lastly, I know that last part isn't true for a fact.

Still waiting on your sources from yesterday claiming 12 was out of line 🤷♂️ https://t.co/4ZHOxuVFwC

If I'm so full of shit, it's weird to bring back up having to go full send on the defense.
Not everyone on your own team when you played with 12 appreciated his brand of leadership John. But I'm sure this team is different. Must be.

Not everyone will, but only the strong survive Pete, youd know this if you ever live by that mantra. Now please, where are these current players you & others pledged to have as sources?!

But John, you told me yesterday everyone was totally fine with what Rodgers said and how he handles these moments. Now it's "Only the strong survive." I thought you played FB not CB. Hell of a backpedal.

This will be my last response to you: you have no sources, you are fishing for cheap clicks and follows, either learn ball or learn journalism(meaning show up to an event), all of Packers twitter should unfollow you as you are a gossip 👸 https://t.co/xR3y8v7bxi

Battles for the Packers on and off the field
This season has been nothing short of a struggle for the Packers. At 3-4, Green Bay faces yet another tough test on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Lets face it, Packers fans wouldn’t be surprised to see their team fall to 3-5 after this weekend. Dealing with media distractions comes with the territory after such an abysmal start to the season. However, it’s nice to see a former Packers player sticking up for his team.
Fans seem to be split on their opinions of the Packers this season. Some believe Green Bay can turn their fortunes around while others are ready to scrap the season entirely. Seven teams make it into the playoffs in the NFC. Green Bay currently sits in the ninth spot so I wouldn’t rule them out quite yet. Nevertheless, with 10 games left this season can the Packers fight through all the distractions and make a run at the playoffs before it’s too late?
