If he’s a bad qb - wouldn’t we want him to go to the Vikes?
Even though tex is convinced Aaron has 5 good years left he is clearly past his due date. If he gets in great shape he can go to Minnesota and make us sorry about it for maybe 10 weeks at which point the rigors of an NFL season will wear him down and they will collapse. I loved Aaron, but time to hang it up. But I don't blame him if someone wants to hand him even a "low" $20 million to play this year.Quote:

What I read this morning is that it'd be approximately the same that Sam Darnold would've been making - around $33 mill.Quote:

That’s a pretty easy question.
If I were a Vikings fan, I would rather have Darnold.
It leaves me to believe the Rodgers to Vikings talk is a lot of self-generated nonsense.
This is the one time I am rooting for the vikings….
Rastak will probably throw up when it happens! :lol:
I HATE the idea of Rodgers going to the Vikings. Mark my words, he's gonna have a decent season by the standard of just about any other QB, maybe not up to his own career standards, but damn good anyway. For that matter, by any regular QB standards, he was a little above average even last year, just not up to his own expected level.
They're saying he "ghosted" the Steelers and Giants? I think he's holding out for some huge amount of money with the idea that if nobody wants to pay it, he'll just retire.
I highly doubt it will happen. If it does, I'd be extremely disappointed in the front office.Quote:

Go, Butte, and be a Queen!
Some would say he already acts like one.Quote:

They lost a lot of starter snaps this offseason, including Darnold's. I wonder how long it will take for all those players to get on the same page, and an old, my-way-or-highway QB like Rodgers might make that worse.
I have to think the talks with Rodgers says something about JJ McCarthy as well.
if MIN goes that route, I don't see it ending well for them.
PIT isn't a bad landing place IMO. They have a young good OL and Metcalf, Pickens and Friermuth to throw to, plus a good defense and smart coach.
I'd avoid NYG, especially if legacy is as important to Rodgers as people say.
The folks saying Butte is toasted obviously ain’t ran good at the poker tables to shell out frogskins for the Sunday Ticket. Watching the Jesters from afar on the YouTube app, I saw a QB, while his overall kung fu ain’t what it was in his heyday, who could still slang a rock over them mountains. Butte’s struggles had more to do with that subpar Jesters OL than the chemical phenomenon that causes bread to “toast.”Quote:

ESPN reporting Vikings not pursuing Rodgers.
And life returns to being a beautiful mystery.
This is the best news I've heard - if true. Rodgers is gonna be damn good wherever he goes, barring serious injury, and I prefer that it not be our most hated enemy the God damned Vikings.Quote:
