Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to hear any criticism of Matthew Stafford.

The Rams have dropped two straight games and the offense has appeared less than stellar after starting the season on fire. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

There are probably a lot of issues, but when it comes to starting quarterback Matthew Stafford, Rodgers doesn’t think he’s the issue.

“Those are trash comments. I’m a huge Stafford fan and I have been for a long time. We played against him for so many years. One of the most gifted throwers in football, definitely of my generation, and I put him up there with some of the most gifted guys ever to throw the football. You know, I’m a fan. He’s a tough dude. He’s played through some crazy injuries…I’m a big fan, and he’s had a really nice season. They’re 7-3,” Rodgers said Tuesday during an interview with Pat McAfee when talking about the recent criticism of Stafford and the Rams.

You can listen to his full comments below.

As Rodgers pointed out, the Rams are 7-3 and Stafford has been launching bombs pretty much all season. Let’s chill out with the panic.

The team isn’t falling apart, and there’s no reason to pretend like it is. They’ve lost back-to-back games, but are still fine.

As for Stafford, everyone is going to have an off game from time to time. Not even Tom Brady wins them all, but to pretend like the former Detroit star isn’t great is just a lie.

Trust me when I say the Rams are going to be a very dangerous threat in the postseason and Stafford’s arm will be a big part of the reason why. That’s a guarantee you can take to the bank.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
