The Green Bay Packers alumni weekend this coming season ought to be, um, interesting.

Even as the franchise is fixing to throw itself a 100th birthday party (circle Aug. 11 on your calendar), popular former players are piling on quarterback Aaron Rodgers, targeting him with some of the most damning criticisms one athlete can level against another. Uncoachable. Arrogant. Lousy tipper.

OK, that last brickbat has yet to be confirmed. But there was no holding back among the ex-Packers quoted recently in a story in Forbes magazine.

Full disclosure: Jermichael Finley wasn’t Rodgers’ biggest fan during his tenure as a Packers tight end from 2008-13. It’s clear that time hasn’t healed all wounds.

Finley said out loud what a lot of people are probably thinking: How will 39-year-old rookie head coach Matt LeFleur and the revered 35-year-old quarterback get along?

“He’s coachable to a point,” Finley said of Rodgers. “Once you try to overcoach him, that’s when he’s going to do his own thing. With (ex-Packers coach Mike) McCarthy, (he) used to call a play and Aaron would look at him and (suddenly) it’s a whole different play.

“I think it’s going to be a lot worse with a young guy and where Aaron’s at in his career. He’s an icon of the NFL.”

Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, a Pro Bowl defensive who played for the Pack from 2000-09, said he noticed a turning point when Rogers, the pride of the Cal Bears, inherited the starting quarterback position from Brett Favre in 2008 after a three-year apprenticeship.

“When Aaron became The Man, he was The Man, especially in his own eyes,” Gbaja-Biamila told Forbes. “Let’s just put it that way. Things just changed. I don’t want to lie to you. It’s hard for me to say this without causing drama. But I will say that between Brett and Aaron — and I’m just being honest here so do what you want with this — with everything that Brett accomplished, you would think he’d be a little more arrogant, but he was actually more humble. And I felt that Aaron was a little bit more on the arrogant side.”

Finley said he sensed another turning point when Rodgers signed a five-year, $134 million contract this past August.

“You just gave this guy (a lot of money),” Finley said. “It’s going to be very hard to coach a guy same age, his pay scale is up here and it’s going to be hard to tell Aaron what to do.”

Rodgers would not be the first surpassing athlete to leverage his assets — popularity, performance, MVP awards, championships, Super Bowl ring, colossal contract — and conclude that he has the right to do what he wants, when he wants.

“We all saw what Mike McCarthy was unable to do, which was get the best out of Aaron Rodgers that he possibly could,” Greg Jennings, a Packers receiver from 2006-12 told Forbes. (LaFleur is) going to be coming in starting from scratch (with) a guy who has one of the highest IQs in football, who believes he knows just about everything, if not all of everything.

Aaron Rodgers huddles with the Dalai Lama — here’s what he wanted and what gifts he came bearing “Can you be thick-skinned enough, strong-willed enough and strong-minded enough to butt heads with that at times and tell him, ‘No, this is how we’re going to do it’? That’s going to be the challenge for the Green Bay Packers.”

That and the seating chart for the birthday party.
