Aaron Rodgers has been off the Bears’ radar for some time now. He left the Green Bay Packers over a year ago and suffered an Achilles injury on opening day last season, his first game with the New York Jets. Consequently, there hasn’t been much discussion about his long-standing rivalry with the Bears.
However, during an eventful offseason for Chicago, Rodgers shared his thoughts on the new-look Bears and Caleb Williams on the Pardon My Take Podcast this week. He expressed his admiration for Williams’ game.
“Yeah, I do (like Caleb Williams). I like D’Andre Swift. I like Keenan (Allen). I like the receiver from Washington (Rome Odunze).They still got DJ (Moore). I think their almost good enough to beat the Packers.. I think it will be a close game.“
Although I think much of this was said in joking manner, I do believe Rodgers is genuinely impressed with both Caleb Williams and the Bears. Rodgers knows Williams has modeled his game after him, and Williams’ talent is undeniable. However, I still appreciate that Rodgers can’t stand Chicago. It just feels right that he maintains his stance and keeps the rivalry alive. Rodgers also makes a fair point that the Bears are improving. Ultimately, all these moves are good in theory and look promising on paper, but the Bears need to prove they can actually beat the team in Wisconsin, something they haven’t done in a long time.

I’d love to hear Aaron’s thoughts on former Bears pass rusher Leonard Floyd.
I would invite Aaron to keep our quarterback’s name out of his dumb fucking mouth.
Have to give him his props. Okay, that’s done so yeah, F*ck Aaron Rodgers.
Unfortunately, one of the greatest QBs due in large part to the Bears own ineptitude and the curse espoused by non-other than Brian Urlacher just a few years ago. Hopefully, both end this year.
I want to beat ARod in the Super Bowl. I want us to sack him 6 times, him to fumble twice, and for him to throw 3 picks.
