Aaron Rodgers, quarterback insaisissable

Anyone who truly embodies change, enlightenment or openness would never intentionally broadcast it to the world. Especially not through a highly curated set of footage to shape their personal image.

I find Rodger's to be incredibly self centered and disillusioned in how he views the world. This docuseries a glorified PR stunt.

Go truly meditate and discover yourself and you'll find so much peace. You also won't feel the need to convince everyone it happened to you.

If you're looking for any true rationale into where the drama came from, you'll simply find a weak attempt at showcasing why everyone else is wrong.

7.3 stars.

I was intrigued by this documentary. I wanted to see inside the mind of Aaron Rodgers, and I think this is probably what he believes. This is a look inside the mind of Aaron Rodgers from the perspective of Aaron Rodgers.

What do you expect? He is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. If he had three championship rings, half the people out there would say that he is the GOAT. But since he was unable to secure those special accolades that only a Super Bowl can provide, except the one time, he is immediately tossed aside, and put into the pile of other great quarterbacks, but not the best of the best, top five quarterbacks.

Arguably he is in the top five. Look at how many quarterbacks won MVP four times. All you need to do is look. Peyton Manning has five, AR is second with four. But if you count quarterback rating as the number one indicator, Aaron Rodgers by far is the best QB of all time. And yet, if you look at all the top 10 QB all time lists, he's not even in the top five. You can't ignore the stats. This guy is in the top 2 or 3 of all time, most definitely top 5.

Most likely his downfall is that when it came to the extreme pressure, he didn't quite have what Tom Brady and Joe Montana have. But if you look at his overall stats, he far surpasses them both. So where do you draw the line?

Ok, so he's arrogant. Most of them are, but because of the 2020 debacle, his image is tarnished forever? Credit where credit is due. They are almost all arrogant, it goes with the territory. You would be too, especially if you had difficulty sorting out real friends from fake ones. That sort of life makes a person arrogant. They have to work on getting past that difficulty. What we see as arrogance is merely a facade of an extremely talented person putting a protective bubble around himself.

This docuseries is very well done and I really enjoyed watching it. Like many, I had myself convinced that Aaron Rodgers is a selfish attention-seeker. I can't say after watching "Enigma" I am completely certain that I was wrong, but I certainly see things a bit differently now. I loved hearing about some of these offbeat wellness retreats straight from Rodgers himself. It was also interesting to hear his perspective on the tumultuous COVID years. I will never agree with how he handled his vaccination, but I'm glad I at least understand how everything really happened now. Aaron Rodgers truly is an Enigma. This docuseries does him justice, for better or for worse.

I went into this thinking I'd check out the 1st episode, but after that I was hooked. I had to binge it all.

This documentary starts out slow for about the first 15 minutes, but then really starts to get interesting. You get to see what happened behind so many of the biggest media headlines of the past 20 years. From Rodgers' roots playing high school football, to what happened with he replaced Favre, to Jordan Love replacing Rodgers, to his ayahuasca trips, to his darkness retreat, to Rodgers getting traded, to his accelerated Achilles rehab regimen.

It also goes into Rodgers' mindset of how he reached greatness while interviewing several of his former coaches & teammates including Mike McCarthy, David Bakhtiari, Marshawn Lynch, & Matt Lafleur

Even the most locked in, hardcore NFL fans haven't heard this stuff. It was interesting to see how it all played out from the inside.

The documentary takes on an interesting format too, starting out slowly progressing & digressing through 2 entirely different timelines, both culminating at the beginning of the 2024 NFL season. This is a must watch for any NFL fan who wants the inside baseball on how it all played out.

I'll be watching this one again.

9/10.

I loved the flow of this documentary on 4 time NFL MVP and Super Bowl-winning NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. We've seen a lot on how pro athletes, particularly NFL players, often struggle with injuries and life after their bodies or minds can no longer perform at the required level.

I like how Aaron is handling this inevitability. I also like how the documentary exposes the way the media and strangers will vilify you based on half-truths. The message is, "if you feel the need to judge, first look that person in the eye and spend time with them, because your opinion might be full of shit." I've experienced the same. Sometimes others have an agenda like selling clickbait, other times people want to simplify by dividing others into some artificial and binary good or bad.

In any case, it does nothing to help anyone move forward and navigate a fulfilling life. The spiritual component of this series is really cool and NEEDED!
