Packers Morning Buzz: Aaron Rodgers' 'trust issue' with receivers latest hot topic

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with Jermichael Finley becoming the latest former Green Bay Packers teammate to speak publicly about the challenges of playing with Aaron Rodgers and trying to live up to the future Hall of Fame quarterback's lofty standards.

Following on the heels of Jeff Janis' recent comments about how Rodgers' stern on-field demeanor could shake the confidence of young receivers, former Packers tight end Finley said Rodgers had "a trust issue" with his receivers during a Super Bowl week interview with talkSport radio.
