The Green Bay Packers were able to convince MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to return to the frozen tundra, extending their relationship in the form of a new contract. But already, Rodgers is feeling the frustration with some of his younger teammates and the fact that he no longer has favorite target Davante Adams to throw to. 

Rodgers appeared to be directing the brunt of his criticism at rookie Romeo Doubs, who was guilty of a dropped pass on what the quarterback called his best throw of Tuesday's joint practice with the New Orleans Saints. 

"The young guys, especially young receivers, we've got to be way more consistent," Rodgers said. "A lot of drops, a lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route. We've got to get better in that area."

"It's coming up," Rodgers said of the regular season. "Yeah, it's coming up. It really is. We're going to play our best guys when the season starts. And whoever those guys are, those guys are going to get the reps. It's the guys I trust the most and the guys the coaches trust the most. A lot of it is just the simple responsibility in the offense. Way before body positioning and movement and throw, and all that stuff, are you in the right spot at the right time? Are you running the right route?"

The Packers begin the 2022 regular season against their bitter rival Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, September 11 in the Twin Cities.
