Watching Hard Knocks though, the hero worship of Rodgers is a bit over the top. Even the comments from the coaches make him out to be a savior. I’m very interested to see how things go if they have a slow start.

The fawning over Rodgers on Hard Knocks has made it hard to watch. One of the things I've liked about that show in the past is how much they focus on younger and unknown players. With so much focus on Rodgers, it feels like there hasn't been as much of that this season.

Hard Knocks will be fun when The Jets start losing . As Packers fans know , Rodgers will start throwing everyone under the bus

Hard Knocks ends with Preseason. There was an in-season one last year, but not sure if they are doing one this year.

I'm not a Packer's fan and really haven't followed Rodgers' career (or his interactions with his teammates) very closely. What I know of him is largely 1) extremely talented QB; 2) seems to have not won as much as would have expected in light of his talent; 3) dated that Divergent chick for a while (still?); and 4) a bit of a hippie goofball; and 5) estranged from his family. Given that, I'll admit that I was curious to see him on Hard Knocks. The first episode, I liked him quite a bit -- he seemed really helpful. But after the next couple episodes, he started reminding me of that kid in grade school who just craved attention and affirmation. Some of what he did to get it is good (e.g., helping a younger QB) some of what he did to get it is a little douchey (e.g., "did you hear that sick burn? I said, "I don't even know who you are.' It was uncombackable. Did you hear it?! Did you?").

Honestly, I didn't really know what to expect from Rodgers. After E1, I found myself thinking, "Maybe I'm going to be an Aaron Rodgers fan." At present, I'm thinking, "The dude kinda seems like a douchebag."
