Vegas now favoring Raiders. So who will Rodgers play for?
Poll to follow.
I still like the Jets. Raiders having #7 pick means they might draft a QB instead.
Packers keep him and he runs it back with an MVP, Super Bowl and announces his retirement on the podium holding the Lombardi.
Right now I think it's:
70% Packers
30% traded
0% Retire
I'd prefer a trade, but expect he will be back with the Packers.
Most likely scenario, he comes back plays better than last year and the team lays an egg in the playoffs again.
Obviously he plays for the Packers. Obviously he plays a helluva lot better than last season. Laying an egg in the playoffs or going all the way is not very relevant to me until the week of the games, but I'd say as always, it could happen even with little or no change to staff and personnel, just with a little bit of luck on the injury front, etc.
I guess we'll all be in the dark about Rodgers' future for a while.

Aaron Rodgers says on
@PatMcAfeeShow
that he's going on an "darkness retreat" in a couple weeks. It's 4 days, complete darkness, just himself, in a little house.
"I've had a number of friends who've done it and they had profound experiences."
He expects a decision after that.
Totally normal and not at all weird thing. What a loon.
So I feel like I have a bead on this one. He will play for probably the Raiders, but possibly the Jets. He values his connections to teammates and people so Adams kinda begging for him plays a pretty big role. However the Jets hiring Hackett shows they are very willing to make moves to make him happy and comfortable. I could see a scenario where the Jets put an offer in the table for Bak, and then sign Tonyan. Its impossible to say which way this goes, but I'm confident in saying he will play with one of those 2 franchises.
If LaFleur or Gutekunst or Murphy - anybody with inside knowledge on the Packers ever read the crap in this forum, they'd be laughing their asses off.
It'll be a very profound experience when he can't find the toilet or the fridge for four days.Quote:

And now we’re gonna miss Butte, we know
The darkness retreat is actually inspiring. I am inspired to give it a try. Unlike Butte, I can’t afford a luxurious black hole. But I’ll just lock myself inside a dark, windowless room. Hopefully doing so will inspire me to finally quit burger flipping.Quote:

Nice poetry, but a bogus narrative, at least your conclusion is bogus. The GOAT ain't going anywhere.
That darkness thing is weird, all right. I can't help thinking Rodgers is just feeding a line of bullshit to anybody - media pukes and other poor misguided fools and haters, which we sure seem to have a lot of in here hahahaha. Then again, he did go to Berkeley, so who knows.
I was catching up on SEAL Team episodes this evening, and they had something to say about ayahuasca - that it and other similar drugs are homeopathic treatments for traumatic brain injury, also that it can cause explosive diarrhea hahahaha.

Most here probably couldn’t stand the boredom or face their thoughts for that long.
Four days of ayahuasca.
Rodgers is not turning down all the money; he's coming back. He'll be back to GB and have a improved year, we'll make the playoffs, and then he'll shit on himself in the second half of another playoff loss....kinda like San Fran and Tampa
This is the most likely scenario IMO...and then we repeat this drama same time next year.Quote:
