Aaron Rodgers is one of the best to ever play quarterback. But don't tell that to former Packers reporter Bob McGinn.

McGinn covered the Packers for multiple newspapers the last 38 years, but he decided to call it quits last month. Peter King of Sports Illustrated interviewed McGinn and he had some not-so-nice things to say about Aaron Rodgers.

Here's a look at what he had to say.

He was a very poor player here for his first two summers and regular-season practices. Fortunately for him, and he knows that down deep, he didn’t have to play early. His delivery was a mess, bad body language, he didn’t know how to deal with teammates. He learned so much from Brett Favre on how to in some ways be one of the guys and relate, and he became much more of a leader. He was really poor and how many great players have ever had a start like that? Not that many. A lot of scouts look at that exhibition tape those first two years and he was a little bit better the third year, but not to any degree, and then he just really developed. He lost a lot of close games in ’08, but by ’09 he was playing great and by 2010 he was maybe the best in the business. And then there have been a lot of playoff disappointments and poor performances. It’s a quarterback league and all the rules are designed for that quarterback to dominate, and he hasn’t done it in the most important times since 2010.

McGinn was also asked to choose between Rodgers and Brett Favre. Here's what he had to say.

“Would I take Favre or Rodgers? Right now, Favre. Because he was there every single game and he inherited a team that was the armpit of the NFL. It’s one of the greatest reclamation projects in NFL history. Favre just did it all from nothingness.”

McGinn is right because Rodgers walked into a better situation. And there have been a number of disappointments with Rodgers since the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2010. But Rodgers simply can't do it all by himself no matter how good he is. And while the Packers suffered another tough end to their playoff run last season, if it wasn't for Rodgers' play, the Packers would have missed out on the playoffs and possibly finished with a losing record.

So McGinn made some valid points, but Rodgers shouldn't and won't apologize for what's he's accomplished with the Packers.
