Aaron Rodgers with story on why Mike Nolan chose Alex Smith

The Alex Smith-Aaron Rodgers debate will never end for 49ers fans. Rodgers recently offered up another story about Mike Nolan’s decision.

We’re over a decade removed from the 2005 NFL Draft, but the debate about what could have been between Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers will probably never end for San Francisco 49ers fans. Recently, Aaron Rodgers again got a chance to discuss the situation. He was on the Bill Simmons HBO show Any Given Sunday, and brought up the topic.

There has been plenty of discussion about Rodgers and cockiness. One story suggested that Nolan thought Rodgers displayed a little too much attitude, while Smith was more “cerebral,” and not going to be as confrontational.
