After a wild offseason and spectacular year of playing, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks to be the favorite to win MVP. Even so, Chicago reporter Hub Arkush recently criticized Rodgers and refuses to vote for him due to personal opinions/reasons.

According to Tom Silverstein, Aaron Rodgers responded by calling Arkush a “bum.” It has been a controversial topic on Wednesday, as many have backed the Packers star rather than Arkush. Although Rodgers has been involved in a drama-filled season, personal opinions about a person should not factor into the MVP voting.

Regardless of your personal opinion of Aaron Rodgers, he has been the most consistent quarterback on the field this year. Numerous other players will receive MVP votes, but Rodgers is the favorite to win.

It was an odd stance made by Hub Arkush, especially considering MVP voters are encouraged to keep their votes to themselves. There also aren't any real parameters in place for the MVP voting, but one would think it's about what a player does on the field. It seems Arkush has allowed personal opinion to affect his voting stance. Even so, the Packers are the top seed in the NFC, and much of the credit goes to Aaron Rodgers.

We'll see how the MVP race plays out. Many have claimed Jonathan Taylor deserves the title, but he seems to have fallen out of the race. Tom Brady is another name to pay attention to, as he has been impressive this season. A dark-horse candidate is Cooper Kupp, who has put up a monster season as a wide receiver.

Still, the Packers star still seems to be the favorite.
