Matt LaFleur made one comment that hinted at discord with Aaron Rodgers, and he has paid for it since.

On Tuesday, the rookie Packers coach appeared to vent his frustrations after being quizzed about the quarterback’s freedom with audibles, which became a topical discussion over the summer.

“You guys will just not stop with this audible thing. It’s unbelievable. What do you want me to say? … It’s comical to me,” LaFleur said, according to The Athletic.

Rodgers’ falling out with Mike McCarthy, who was fired in the middle of last season, was meticulously documented, and all eyes are on how the relationship with LaFleur develops.

Ahead of training camp, LaFleur said he and Rodgers had a number of exchanges, also indicating, “one thing we have to work through is the audible thing.”

“We’re running a system I first picked up while working with Kyle [Shanahan] in Houston a decade ago, and we’ve never really had a quarterback who’s had complete freedom to change plays at the line, because that’s not really the way the offense is set up,” LaFleur said in June, per NFL.com.

“But, I mean, this is Aaron Rodgers. He’s had a lot of freedom to make those calls, and deservedly so. Now, how do we reconcile that, and get to a place where we put him in the best position to succeed?”

Rodgers also noted at the time “it’s a conversation in progress.” The 35-year-old quarterback has helped lead Green Bay to nine postseason appearances, including a 2010 Super Bowl title.

“I don’t think you want me to turn off 11 years,” Rodgers told NFL.com. “There’s stuff that not many people in the league can do at the line. That’s not a humblebrag. That’s just a fact.”

Though LaFleur and Rodgers have endured growing pains, the quarterback maintains their lines of communication are open.

“I’m not sitting up here wishing people — ‘I wish you just knew this’ — I don’t care. Look, I don’t need to go out and prove to anybody how great Matt and I are getting along, or him stand up there and say how great it’s been. Look, we’re having a great time, we’re communicating, and the conjecture is for clickbait news stories you guys can put on your websites,” he said in August.

Rodgers will first test the reins with LaFleur during Thursday’s season opener against the Bears.
