Aaron Rodgers Cites Mike McCarthy, Says Jets 'Biggest Struggle' is Handling Success

Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy had a fractious relationship during their time together with the Green Bay Packers, but some wisdom from the head coach stuck with the legendary quarterback.

"I go back to this quote a lot, but Mike McCarthy said, 'Our biggest struggle is going to be handling success,' back in 2006 in Green Bay, and there's a lot to that," Rodgers told reporters Wednesday. "... I think that's the mark of a great team, just can you handle the success part, with the same focus, the same mentality, the same mindset, the same energy, when you're starting to get on a little bit of a roll.
