VIDEO: Skip Bayless Has Dumbest Take of the Week Criticizing Aaron Rodgers for Getting O-Line Help
By Jerry Trotta
Leave it to notorious Aaron Rodgers cynic, Skip Bayless, to troll the Green Bay Packers' superstar gunslinger after he compiled six touchdowns en route to a 42-24 pummeling of the Oakland Raiders at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The FS1 "Undisputed" co-host somehow found a way to use Rodgers' elite offensive line against him, insinuating that the two-time MVP was only THAT brilliant because his "line protected him like the fragile old man that he is becoming." Get a load of this nonsense, folks.
Aaron Rodgers had a hot day, in large part because his line protected him like the fragile old man he is becoming. More @Undisputed, now on FS1 https://t.co/258SMsZPaO

Is anybody else nauseous after watching that rubbish? We get that Bayless has shunned Rodgers ever since his early days on ESPN's "First Take," and he practically has to stick to his ignorant shtick at this point in his career, but No. 12 was simply historically great on Sunday.

Shannon: “Rodgers did GREAT yesterday.”
Skip: “Well, MY guy beat the Eagles...who, I believe, beat Aaron Rodgers.”
Shannon: “So wins count? Aaron has 6. How many Dak got?”
Skip: “Dak’s QBR though.”
Shannon: “Aaron had a QBR of 95 yesterday”

Rodgers was 25-of-31, good for an 81% completion rate, for 429 yards and five touchdowns, plus adding another score on the ground. In Skip's eyes, however, those numbers are entirely the product of the Packer offensive line.
Good grief.
