Brian Gutekunst’s Admission About Aaron Rodgers Proves That He Still Doesn’t Get It

It’s no secret that the main reason why Aaron Rodgers is so fed up with the Packers has to do with how general manager Brian Gutekunst has kept him out of the loop and refused to give him a seat at the table before making roster decisions.

Gutekunst’s media scrambling act with Aaron Rodgers is just another example of how messed up the power dynamic currently is in Green Bay, and serves as a reminder why the Packers are going to lose the reigning MVP following this season.
