Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers were one of the best quarterback-receiver duos in the NFL. The pair were together in Green Bay for eight years and combined for 69 touchdowns.

Those days are over, as Adams was traded this offseason to the Las Vegas Raiders. Even after his reunion with collegiate teammate Derek Carr, Adams held high praise for his former quarterback. In a recent interview with the "Pivot" podcast, Adams stated:

"He's the best quarterback, in my opinion, to play this game. He had the Michael Jordan effect. ... (He's) gonna make you play better ... just by being on the field."

This comparison between Aaron Rodgers and Michael Jordan was not taken lightly by fans on Reddit. Users argued that Rodgers only has one championship (yet) to Jordan's six. Instead, they compared Rodgers to former Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman. Rodgers and Grossman share a similar NFC Championship games record at 1-4. Here are some of the best takes:

Aaron Rodgers demands more from his young wide receivers as they continue to underperform

Aaron Rodgers' choice of wide receivers has looked underwhelming since the departure of Davante Adams. Only 32-year-old Randall Cobb and Allen Lazard remain viable options from last season. However, the franchise did go after wide receivers in the draft.

They selected Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Samori Toure to help bolster their offense. They also acquired free agent Sammy Watkins.

But Rodgers was unimpressed with the number of drops and poor route-running showcased by the rookies in training camp. He stated in an interview after practice:

"The young guys, especially young receivers ... we've got to be way more consistent. A lot of drops, a lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route. We've got to get better in that area."
