Aaron Rodgers makes his job look so easy, even though he has said that what he is doing on the football isn’t easy at all.

For some reason, I believe him.

Not only because he is the best in the game, but because he is s becoming a legend.

For his performance over the month of November, he’s been named the Offensive Player of the Month.

But over the past month, Rodgers has been not just good, he’s been white hot, leading the Packers to a 4-0 record (9-3 overall), while completing 83-of-130 passes (63.8 percent) for 1,233 yards, 13 touchdowns and most importantly, no interceptions.

His 128.1 passer rating is best in the NFL.

Considering that he’s thrown 32 touchdowns and only three interceptions this season in itself is remarkable.

However, when we also consider that all three of those interceptions came from tipped balls that bounced off Packers receivers is even more remarkable.

Rodgers, who along with his team, had a slow start to the 2014 season, losing two of their first three games. But we all know that the NFL season is long and we’ve come to expect that anything probably will happen.

When Rodgers told the world to R-E-L-A-X, we all scoffed a little bit and said that we would relax when the team started playing like we knew they were capable.

It didn’t take long for Rodgers to show us up … he and his team proceeded to win eight of their next nine games – blowing out the likes of the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles and scoring 50-plus points in those two straight games.

While we didn’t expect the Packers to drop a 50-burger every time we hit the field we have certainly come to listen to Rodgers when he speaks.

Here is the complete press release announcing the NFL Players of the Month.
