NFL EXEC DISCUSSES SHITBAG
“I like that Aaron (Rodgers) is helping out the Jets, but let’s not forget about this guy. He’s the same guy who held Green Bay hostage for years and then complained openly like a child about not having enough help. He’s also the guy who played more like a backup quarterback in big playoff moments. If I’m the Packers, this is even more proof that trading Rodgers is a good riddance.”
Aaron Rodgers could have done something similar with the Packers so that they could reload and put a more competitive roster around him. Instead, he held out for every last penny and it ended up costing the team dearly. Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2022 offseason in large part because the team couldn’t afford him.
The divorce between the Packers and Aaron Rodgers coming when it did was probably best for both sides. As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end eventually. He is very happy to be with the Jets and the Packers are excited about beginning the Jordan Love era in Green Bay.
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
I mean, isn't this just the human way? Fritz put it in terms many of us can relate to, but the story can be adjusted to damn near anything.
I had this employee as a personal assistant. He took out the trash, did the yardwork, housework and managed my schedule. Over the course of 5 years he asked for and received several pay raises. I gave him a lot of freedom making hours and leaving town when he wanted to. Slowly he did less, and did it less impressively. I tried to course correct, but always excuses. Eventually I fired him and hired the hot young girl who was awesome...for about 5 years. When he left he went to work as the "gopher" for a real estate firm. He was the model employee and they couldn't believe I fired him.....for about 5 years.
I could tell this story about the man who cooked and cleaned in the beginning then got fat and lazy. The football player that shunned all off season work after years of being super team oriented (2x so far we can tell that story). I could tell that story about the politician who placed integrity above all....for about 5 years. I could tell that story about most people in most walks of life and its largely the same.
Rodgers is human. This is hardly news to me.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
But it's a lot more fun to read about it when it's a porn story.

Thats fair, but your penthouse forum skills are lacking....well, in this format at least.

It was truly a best of times then worst of times kinda post. Even though the standard is low it’s one of your best!
Is it possible that a rework was inevitable, and part of the trade discussions?
Rodgers has made comments about how much fun he's having, blah blah blah, but that's the honeymoon phase (and also likely his subtle dig at GB's FO).
Either way, it's more proof that it was time for both sides to move on.
It looks like Rodgers is saying and doing all the right things, and the Jets are cooperating by bringing in the guys he likes, and keeping more vets over rooks (I think they cut a young ILB and signed a vet for that spot).

I love how he is improving our draft pick slot. Every move GM Rodgers makes is one step closer to getting the #1 pick. Hope he keeps up the bad work!

But Aaron also needs to take time out for himself to remain healthy and available. It's a long season, and the only way to know for sure that you did the right thing with no regrets is to play every snap possible.
I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.
10 minutes into the Hard Knocks episode and the rodgers glorification is already way strong in the jets. I have never watched any season so maybe it’s normal.
How will the season finale go? Erron calling out the GM?
Episode 1 depicts Butte as being hip with the young uns of the Jesters, especially with Gardener, Black Wilson and Mormon Wilson. Remember, on the day Butte was traded, everyone and their baby’s mama were barking about Butte being too old and uncool for the new generation of Packers, especially with Doubs and Watson. Butte is still cool.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
This is absolutely true about him, as well as thinking he's the smartest guy in the room.I will give Arod this, he is extremely smart and knows how to manipulate people. He will do whatever is in his best interest.
I think he was fairly checked out last year, whether he would admit it or not. He needed a change of scenery to reinvigorate him, the Packers needed to stop giving him so much control over personnel and scheme.
The trade was good for him, and if he's doing "Rodgers things" in NY it sure makes football interesting. I suspect he's enjoying it and not just acting for the camera (although I'm confident he's playing it up to annoy his critics).
It's interesting that Rodgers hates things that are often good for offenses like pre-snap motion, post-snap RPO reads, and MOF throws. Those are a lot of the things Shanahan/McVay use. He likes his McCarthy plays, and I'm sure Hackett will oblige him.
Rodgers never fully embraced the LeFleur version of the Shanny-I-might-be-a-tranny-misdirection/motion offense, and so I think with Hackett running what is now an ancient offense, other teams will figure out how to defend against an aging Rodgers better and better.

Again with the weird speculation about what's in Rodgers' head. He's gone now as far as the Packers are concerned, and I like many don't give a damn about him other than the 65% of course. But this is stupid - this idea that any of us or the God damned media shitheads for that matter - have any clue about his thinking. As for what is or isn't good for offenses, it's laughable that any of us - or the God damned media shitheads - have a clue about that either. The McCarthy/Hackett style that Rodgers allegedly prefers brought the Packers huge success for a long long time. The Shanahan/McVay and presumably LaFleur style is another way of doing things that has had some success - I'd argue no more than McCarthy's. Rodgers allegedly bucked the system and continued McCarthyism (no politics intended hahahaha) under LaFleur. Until last year, when injuries thoroughly fucked things up, that melding worked pretty damn great.
Somewhere in the mix of success or not success Joe Barry's defense too.
I don't pretend to know more about offense (or defense) than the rest of ya'all. My two points, however, are: the professionals of the coaching staff as well as Rodgers himself certainly do, AND the record over the years is what it is.
I say all this in the context that I thoroughly expect the Packers to have a lot better year the Jets. However, I do NOT expect that to result from any mental or physical failings of Rodgers, just because the Packers have a lot better team overall than the Jets. Love bombing out could change that, but I increasingly don't expect him to bomb out.

I thought this was an interesting perspective.

'It is interesting. I wonder though if it's possible for a diva, out of resentment toward a person or group of people, to turn into a knave.

Maybe, but I am not sure there's much difference between Divas and knaves. Sure Divas can contribute, but no need to glorify them. There are nice people just as smart and competent as the divas.
Get thee back, ye knave!
Who comes up with this terminology?crazy.
