Which Aaron Rodgers is your favorite Aaron Rodgers?

As the great Jay Sherman once said on the vastly underrated show The Critic: “And now, a little something for the chicks.”

Aaron Rodgers has had quite an eventful career so far, even if he’s only been in the NFL for five years and starting for just two.

Look at everything Rodgers has done: he’s dealt with a QB controversy, had to follow a legend, seen his status go from turd-in-the-punchbowl to fan favorite and fantasy stalwart, dated models, and even dabbled in a some exciting playoff football.

Rodgers has also gone through multiple looks, with the hair on his head and on his face symbolically representing his ascent from submissive rookie to badass veteran.

Since we already gave you serious football analysis today here and here, it’s now time for some silliness. So here is the Aaron Rodgers story, as told in seven goofy pictures.

#1: Clean-shaven, just-happy-to-be-here Aaron Rodgers

#2: I’m-a-little-more-comfortable-now-so-I’ll-grow-a-goatee,

but-you’re-still-the-man-Brett! Aaron Rodgers

#3: Oh-shit, you-mean-Brett’s-not-going-to-play-forever,

and-I-have-to-play-behind-this-god-awful-O-line? Aaron Rodgers

(also known simply as Mustachio Rodgers)

And now we interrupt this Aaron Rodgers retrospective for a brief musical interlude. (You’ll see why in a second…)

Okay, now back to ARodg.

#4: It’s-time-to-get-serious, so-I’ll-break-out-my-Scott-Stapp-starter-kit Aaron Rodgers

#5: With-eyes-wide-open, I’ll-be-the-starter Aaron Rodgers

True story: At the press conference where he was announced as the new Packers starter the day of Favre’s departure, Rodgers said, “Well I just heard, the news today; seems my life, is gonna change. Brett is gone, now I can play; And tears of joy, STREAM DOWN MY FAAAACE!….”

Okay maybe not. But I will take any excuse to make fun of Scott Stapp and Creed, so just humor me.

#6: No-nonsense, 5-o’clock-shadow, I’m-ready-to-lead-this-team Aaron Rodgers

#7: I’ve-arrived, I’ll-grow-whatever-kind-of-facial-hair-I-want, 3:10-to-Yuma Aaron Rodgers

And now I have two questions for you:

  1. Did I forget any incarnations of Aaron Rodgers?
  2. Which Aaron Rodgers is your favorite Aaron Rodgers?

The comment section awaits your links, snark, and opinion.
