And he might just not be as classy and decent as we all perceive him to be from afar.
    Whether he's an intelligent man or not, my point was I don't think he's a stupid enough man to believe that this would somehow make people angry at the team. Why would it? If Gutekunst had good reason to believe that Jones wasn't healthy enough to pay him $11,000,000, why would that piss fans off? Only an idiot would think the fans are going to rise up like, "Oh, poor Aaron, how dare Gutekunst not want to take care of him." That'd just be stupid; of course the fans would support not spending that kind of money on an injured player.

    Maybe, maybe not. We just have no idea what is true unless a guy goes on the record. In the end if we win Gutes is awesome and if we don't he blows. Want fans to get over trading Rodgers, have Love turn into a winner. Want to get over Jones, make the Owl with Jacobs. Its really all us fans care about in the end. I once worked for a bar manager that was a prick, but he ran a good bar and the tips were outrageous. I was ok with his attitude.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
