One couldn’t help but admire Brady after reading the article.

That article was also a huge indictment towards McCarthy's coaching. He essentially just quit on the team, and seemed to call plays just out of spite towards Rodgers at times. It also talked about Thompson falling asleep during meetings, and McCarthy not even being at meetings. Dysfunction on every single level, especially at the top. I don't think Rodgers handled things right, but McCarthy only elevated things. It sounds as if Rodgers did have a grudge, but it seemed like a lot of his anger was also directed at McCarthy's apathy as well, and the fact he was just coasting. What players are mentioning aren't unique to Rodgers either.
Peyton Manning for example has been known to blow up on the sidelines, and he took full control of the playbook in Denver, and Indianapolis. Brady also has been caught swearing at his teammates and telling them to do their jobs. It is also worth mentioning that it's really only two people that had grievances towards Rodgers, and it's only those two people that keep popping up. Jermicheal Finely, and Greg Jennings. They have told these stories in the past, and they keep rearing their heads whenever the Packers aren't doing well and calling out Rodgers. This is nothing new. In fact it is really only Jennings, and Finely talking. Other former Packers are stepping up to defend Rodgers.
If they had told the story once, I'd be inclined to believe them. Instead, Finely and Jennings have gone out of their way to smear Rodgers whenever something the Packers aren't doing so hot. They have rehashed these stories several times now, and at what point do you just say that they are looking for attention? It's sort of like Richard Sherman, Micheal Bennett and the Seahawks. The other player interviewed, Grant was more objective, and actually seemed to lay more blame on McCarthy, and Thompson, though he didn't exonerate Rodgers, nor should he be completely exonerated.
