Blake Baratz, the agent for Packers tight end Jermichael Finley, uses his Twitter account to voice his opinions about the NFL, but he’s receiving attention for questioning the leadership of Aaron Rodgers in a recent tweet. Baratz was tweeting on Friday morning about Thursday’s Packers-Bears game when the leadership subject came up. It started with a tweet from Baratz criticizing Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. “Jay Cutler, u serious in ur press conf last night?U sound like a 6 yr old who just had his animal crackers taken. Quit being a b— (edited for profanity), own up,” Baratz tweeted. “There’s a major difference & drop off in leadership from Manning, Brees, Brady, to the next best QB’s in the league. Cutler doesn’t get it,” he later wrote. When someone asked him why he didn’t include Rodgers on the list, he elaborated. @joe_smith07 ARod is a great QB he isn’t a great leader. There’s a major difference. Leaders take the blame & make every1 better. He doesn’t —

Jones: Rodgers apologized after outburst

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  September 18, 2012
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It's not often that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers publicly berates a teammate.

But with Green Bay's offense struggling by comparison so far this season...

Where, Oh Where Did Packers' Aaron Rodgers Go?

Two games into the NFL season and Aaron Rodgers hasn't played lights out, not even close to it.
