Does Aaron Rodgers hate us?
No.
I'm sure Rodgers isn't mad at the fans, he's mad at all the media types that insist that the fans will turn on him because he isn't Brett Favre. I'll bet that on draft day in 2005, ESPN started working on its "Brett Favre retirement/Aaron Rodgers scrutinization" programming.
Seriously, look at how many times Brett Favre has been mentioned on Sportscenter or PTI. "Brett Favre hasn't filed his retirement paperwork!" "Brett Favre dropped out of his celebrity golf tournament!" "Brett Favre bought a bottle of Advil at the grocery store!" All of these quotes inevitably lead to the same tired question: Is Favre coming back?
Brett's Hall of Fame status aside, put yourself in Aaron's shoes; wouldn't you simply hate being constantly subjegated to this kind of treatment? Thank God that McCarthy has committed to Rodgers as the starter already, otherwise this guy's confidence would be in jeopardy.
So no, he's not mad at the fans. Most of the real fans (fans who miss Brett but understand he had to go sometime and will continue following the team) are behind Rodgers, he knows that. It's the media types that keep asking Favre-related questions and making outrageous statements on television, radio, or the Internets.
I vote that we, the fans, set up a petition to act as a 'vote of confidence' for our new QB. In fact, I just might start that myself (although the site admins would be more knowledgeable on such matters.)
Keep your chin up, Aaron. We've got your back.

Rodgers should go! Trade him now!
He is going to get hurt and not make it through the first four games.
He doesn’t have it. Bring Favre back and prep Brohm.
Rodgers is a dud with a bad attitude.
BYE BYE AARON!

Put down the kool aid and go with the nice men in the white coats. They’re going to take you somewhere where you can get your mind straightened out.
