    Aaron Rodgers Ultimatum

    AR is undoubtably tired of endlessly being stuck in the middle of the annual BF retirement opera.

    If Rodgers were to state publicly, "Guarantee me the starter position or release me.", how many would be in favor of granting him an unconditional release or guaranteeing him the starter job? Lets see a show of hands.

    Well...

    Since he really hasn't done much to prove why he should be the starter over a first ballot HOFer...

    I'd tell him to take a hike if that was his attitude.

    Fortunately, his most recent comments seem to show far more maturity than that.

      And this would also not likely happen since he would immediately go to MN or Chi as well.

          OK, true enough. Just to clarify your position, are you suggesting that since Favre is a first ballot HOFer, he is justified in showing up in July and making that same ultimatum?

            OK, right. But that situation is now in some dispute. So reword it as "Guarantee me the starter position or release me."

              I would say exactly the same as TT has said about Favre.

              Aaron is welcome in GB and we will not be releasing him.

                Thompson would never release Rodgers, he has his entire career invested in that draft pick. He has not allowed Rodgers one iota of competition for being number 2 or for now being the starter as it appears that the words "compete for the starting job" have not been uttered. And to yes, Rodgers has said some mature things but he has said some very immature things as well. He is an unproven commodity and cannot afford to say stupid things as he has. He should say all of the right things and is expected to. AS is McCarthy about his players.

                  Not really. Thompson will be in Green Bay for a few more years. If ARod doesn't get the job done this year and/or next year, Thompson has a backup plan in Brian Brohm now.

                    Not just because of his HOF status...but also because he is coming off an MVP caliber year where the Packers were within an eyelash of the Super Bowl.

                    The guy can still play at an extremely high level, so it is shocking to me that the Packers in essense are running the guy out of town.

                      He may have a backup plan...but how many Packer fans would be extremely upset at Thompson for dumping Favre for Rodgers if Rodgers did not pan out?

                      Thompson will have a very shaky tenure in Green Bay if Rodgers doesn't turn into a player they can confidently sign long term before the end of 2009.

                        If the packers intention was to run him out of town, why did they wait until July to do it?

                        And what about their offer to fly Favre up to Green Bay and finalize his unretirement a month after he retired? Are you suggesting that didn't happen? Or does it just not count because it doesn't fit your theory?

                          It may be shaky at that point, but if the Brohm leads them to the Super Bowl in 2010, I'm sure Packer fans would forgive him. It certainly appears the organization is willing to give him at least three more years to do his thing.

                            Then I guess we'd have two QB's that aren't going to be released.

                            Rodgers has all been guaranteed the starting job heading into camp. It's up to him hold on to it. Anyway, I don't think Rodgers is that stupid.

                              I think this statement has more to do with this whole debacle than we know.
