Chris Canty blasts Stephen A. Smith for ‘asinine’ Aaron Rodgers take

Former NFL star Chris Canty has criticized Stephen A. Smith for his recent comments about Aaron Rodgers.

Smith said on ESPN's "First Take" that Rodgers is "not a winner" and that he "doesn't have the 'it' factor." Canty, who played with Rodgers for the Green Bay Packers from 2009 to 2014, called Smith's comments "asinine" and said that Rodgers is "one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time."

Canty's comments come after Rodgers led the Packers to a 26-21 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional Round. Rodgers threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns in the game, and he also ran for a touchdown.

Rodgers has been criticized for his playoff record in recent years, but he has also led the Packers to nine NFC North titles and four NFC Championship Games. He is also the NFL's all-time leader in passer rating (104.9).

Smith's comments about Rodgers were widely criticized on social media, and many people agreed with Canty's assessment that they were "asinine." Rodgers is one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history, and he has proven time and time again that he can win big games.

It is unclear why Smith made such critical comments about Rodgers, but it is possible that he was simply trying to generate controversy. Smith is known for his outspoken personality, and he often makes controversial statements to get a reaction.

Whatever his motivation, Smith's comments about Rodgers were off base. Rodgers is a great quarterback who has won a lot of games. He is also a leader in the Packers' locker room, and he is respected by his teammates.

Canty's comments about Smith were right on point. Smith's comments about Rodgers were "asinine," and they do not reflect the reality of Rodgers' career.
