Everyone is ripping Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers lately. Fans, reporters, media pundits, former Packers safeties…
Yep. Add former Green Bay defensive back LeRoy Butler to the list of people who have criticized Rodgers this season. Butler ripped Rodgers a new one on Twitter after the Packers' loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon, questioning just how good he really is:
I mean really if you can’t out play Mitch Trubisky,how good are you?, Aaron’s only job is to OUT play the other QB! Agree? You will never win scoring 17 pts

Rodgers completed just 25 of his 42 passes for 274 yards in the loss. He also threw an interception, ending a streak of 402 passes without a pick. To add insult to injury, the Bears clinched the NFC North division title with the win and knocked the Packers out of playoff contention.
While Rodgers is hardly having a bad season, owning numbers of 3,974 yards, 23 touchdowns and just two interceptions, he looks like a shell of the quarterback who led his team to a Super Bowl title during the 2010-11 campaign. He also hardly resembles the signal-caller who led the league with 40 touchdown passes just two years ago.
The 35-year-old has also been chastised by many for his leadership ability, as it has been said that his sour relationship with former Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy was one of the main reasons why McCarthy was fired earlier in the month.
Right now, Green Bay is in relatively uncharted territory, as it will miss the postseason in back-to-back years for the first time since 2006. Last season, the Packers went just 7-9, largely due to the fact that Rodgers missed most of the year with a broken collarbone.
