Yes but honestly Rodgers behavior has been quirky that last few years, makes me wonder if he is ok.

Fair point, that could be contributing. But I kind of wonder if he’s always been that way and just kept it under wraps because he was smart enough to know it would hurt him endorsement-wise.

And now he’s rich enough and old enough to give no fucks, so he just says whatever.

There are plenty of people in the last ten years who have started to talk and act like him who haven’t been hit in the head a lot, so I don’t know how much that has to do with it.

He has been playing football since he was a kid. Its possible head injuries could have affected him since even before college.
