Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has insisted that Peyton Manning does not call his own plays on the Denver Broncos' offense.
Manning has been widely speculated to call his own plays during his time with the Indianapolis Colts and the Broncos over the course of his 17 years in the NFL.
However, Rodgers is adamant that it would be impossible for a quarterback to make the decisions over the course of game other than when they are in the final two minutes of the match.
"Well, Peyton doesn't do that," Rodgers told ESPN. "Nobody does that.
"I think everybody would want a starting point. We all have moments where we have [called the plays], whether it's a no-huddle situation or two-minute.
"Everybody wants a starting point. It's tough to have to call every single play, so it's always nice when you can have a good starting point and you can make a slight adjustment if you have to."
The Packers announced that Mike McCarthy would not call the club's plays next season as Tom Clements will assume the role from the head coach.
