The chip has never left Aaron Rodgers since Draft Day 2005. Ever since the 49ers passed on him with the first-overall pick for Alex Smith, and Rodgers was forced to stew in the green room until the Packers ended his first-round fall with the 24th pick.
He carried the chip out of Green Bay to the New York Jets, where he was hellbent on establishing a forever New York sports legacy as the old champion gunslinger who would stand on a pedestal alongside Broadway Joe Namath.
Then he was hellbent on returning in record time from his devastating Achilles tear four plays into his ill-fated Jets tenure.
Then came Aaron Glenn telling him not to let the door hit him on his way out.
