Careful there, PFnMD. people are gonna accuse you of being me with a different screen name. Keep up the good work. Good sense is in pretty short supply in here.
The contract extension he signed following two MVP seasons indicates the issue is this past season. Seems like Loves
development and a down year for him caused a problem with his plans for the future.
I don’t think he was pushing for planning time. More so he got better and Rodgers had his worst season. A lot of that is losing MVS and Adams.
Except Alex Smith wasn't 39 years old with a $60M contract and talking about retiring each year.
If there is a precedent for this trade, what would it be? Favre to the Jets? I'm not sure it's Joe Montana to KC? It's not the Alex Smith or Matt Stafford trades, and it's not Russell Wilson.
I want them to get -- in Gute's words -- "premium picks", but if you're trading a veteran player you're also trading the contract.
I can see the comparisons to Favre. I think timing is an important difference. Favre said he wanted to come back in June, after the draft and free agency. The Packers had already moved on in terms of roster and strategy. That's not the case this time. Sure, it would be awkward if the Jets trade falls through, but they have the cap room and they have time to plan for Rodgers on the roster or even another trade partner.
So the fact that Love began to improve and develop "caused a problem with [Rodgers's] plans for the future" so he decided he wasn't wanted and it was time for everyone to move on?
By that reasoning, every starter who gets competition from an up-and-coming player will want out.
Maybe…
Not every player…but he wants out so why isn’t possible for him?
Reports are it's close
2nd this year, and a 2nd next year that could turn into a 1st based on how they do. And Jets want a kickback if Karen doesn't play next year. Many feel the Jets are using that kickback to leverage just making this 2 second round picks.
Why don't we ask a bit more and just give the Jets both 3rd round picks. Gutebag has drafted all JAG's and crap in round 3 anyways since he's arrived
rodgers was showing signs of decline in the 2 or 3 years before we drafted love (one year was the collarbone year), but his completion % and TDs were down in both those years
then we draft love, and he finds something to get motivated about (cause winning super bowls obviously doesn't do it for him), and he has 2 huge years to "prove" to the packers how wrong they were.
imo, he should be kissing gutey and loves beanbags. they are responsible for the last 2 MVPs that karen is so worried about. if it wasn't for that "motivation", rodgers career might how just faded out a year or 2 ago
