Yeah Rodgers may be a little unlikeable but GB has done nothing to get Rodgers any weapons during his golden years. I would be pissed too

Last year Green Bay went 13-3 and had the top ranked offense in the NFL. This isn't like Barry Sanders walking away from a crappy Lions team with Charlie Batch and Gus Ferotte battling it out for the QB spot and Bobby Ross scratching his head wondering how to patch together an OL. This is a very good, experienced team. Apart from the defense strangely folding in two games vs. Tampa last year, they were probably the best team.

Rodgers has earned the right to gripe a little bit and nitpick management about a few things, but he needs to man up, honor the lucrative contract he signed as a grown man and work his arse off for the teammates who have done the same for him over the past several years. Plus, Green Bay has some of the best and most loyal fans in the league.

If he's still frustrated and pouting next year, he can leave as a FA and finish his career wherever he choses, just like Unitas, Montana, Favre, Brady and Manning - his main peers. Nobody will hold that against him. Or he could retire healthy, sip mimosas and watch Shailene Woodley get fat and complain about being typecasted.
