Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was not shy in giving his clear and controversial opinions of future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
During a recent appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, C.J. Stroud was discussing the legacy of Aaron Rodgers, and he made it clear that there are a number of quarterbacks he thinks have had more impressive careers than Rodgers, including Eli Manning.
“You want the rings, dog,” Stroud said. “Eli got two.”
He went on to take a pretty direct shot at Aaron Rodgers.
“You know what I think it is?” Stroud said according to JetsXFactor.com. “I’ve talked to Tom Brady, about this because he’s a good mentor to me. . . . What he told me is his teammates, and how he treats his teammates. And that’s where I think it falls off. We don’t know how Aaron Rodgers treats his teammates, but you can guarantee that Tom Brady treats his teammates right because of how he got those rings.”
Stroud also seems to think that Rodgers benefitted greatly from a strong supporting cast. He thinks that if other quarterbacks – like Matthew Stafford, for example – had the same supporting cast, they would have more Super Bowls.
“If you give Matthew Stafford a chance like Aaron Rodgers had, I guarantee you he might have had more rings,” Stroud said. “I think he would have like three or four.”
Those are obviously some strong words from Stroud.
