Green Bay Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers loves him some ‘Matty Stafford’

This coming Sunday, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will invade Ford Field to take on Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions.

Rodgers has long been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and is considered to be one of the greatest signal-callers of all time. After all, he has two NFL MVP awards, has been to the Pro Bowl six times, and has a Super Bowl championship to his name.

Stafford, on the other hand, despite putting up gaudy numbers throughout his career, has yet to really get the respect he has earned. He has yet to lead the Lions to a playoff victory and many (who are clueless and do not understand that football is a team sport) blame him.

Well, Rodgers happens to be quite the fan of Stafford and he is not afraid to say so.

From Detroit Free Press:

“I’ve long enjoyed matching up with Matty,” Rogers said. “He’s a fantastic quarterback and has done it for a long time and I’ve enjoyed competing against him. He’s one of the guys I really respect and enjoy watching whenever we have a common opponent, which we usually do being division foes. Always enjoy watching his film.”

Though the two are not best buddies off of the field, Rodgers has great respect for Stafford and what he can do on the football field.

“We’ve played against each other for a long time,” Rodgers said. “We haven’t spent any time together in the offseason, but I’ve always enjoyed getting a chance to talk to him a couple times a year. Like I said, I have a ton of respect for him. He’s a hell of a tough guy. He’s played through some injuries and just watching him, I love the different arm angles that he can throw from. He’s a fun guy to watch, competitor. Like I say, he’s tough, mentally sharp, can make all the throws and just enjoyed watching him over the years, enjoyed competing against him.”

Let’s hope that Stafford gains even more respect from Rodgers this coming Sunday!
