Rodgers Coming Extension

[woodbuck27]

Tom Brady will be 41 years old when the season starts. I'm sorry, but the Patriots are not going to fork over Rodgers or even Cousins money for him. He isn't worth the risk at that age.

I predict that:

The days of the highly paid Franchise QB are coming to and.

I can see the NFL Team GM's possibly colluding on that possibility; and 'of course' they wouldn't be !

What happens with Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and their Contracts will be interesting.

The QB slice of the NFL Team CAP Pie !

Is it going to shrink?

Oh, for crying out loud - sign Rodgers to his extension, knowing he will eat up a lot of cap money and knowing you have the best player in football leading your team at the most important position.

Then fill in around him, cross your fingers regarding injuries, and see what happens.

so...status quo.

[pbmax]

so...status quo.

It won't be very quo. Because you try to keep him on a tag and he won't be playing anymore. He might hold out next year.

Better hope Kizer is the future or that Rodgers gets hurt again so you can land a top 5 pick.

[Fritz]

so...status quo.

In the theory you're using, yes. But now you have a different guy filling in around Rodgers. So for some people, that makes it a better possibility. Me, I think last year's 7-9 colored perceptions to the point people forget that TT did not just poop the bed all the time. They were one Mike McCarthy shriveled scrotum away from a second Super Bowl.

and what is Mike McCarthy's job still today !?

So we make it to another NFC Championship Game and MM is the Packer HC !?

The Green Bay Packers manage that Match Up and he's facing the new equivalent to or 'The Great Mind of Bill Belichick' in another Super Bowl shot !?

[Fritz]

Woodbov, I like to poke at you sometimes, but we do agree that Mike McCarthy may have gotten too big for his britches.

Mike McCarthy may have gotten too big for his britches.

Literally - and that visual alone is disturbing.

Anyone with the least ability to honestly observe Mike McCarthy should see exactly as I see it and Mike McCarthy.

Don't get me wrong and Mike McCarthy overall as a person. I like him and as a bottom line in that huge game I'm praying for him; but I'm always and have been all my adult life (the Sports Fan and Analyst) and even as a young teen a discerning individual and too often correct. I as a Leader, Manager and as a Teacher. I'm confident based onresults and my ability to meet challenges successfully. I refuse to take a back seat to dingo's. That's just my Maritime Canadian Culture Education. We're tough people and we're good and decent people.:

Had to know the REAL and people. Realistically it comes down to concrete analysis and all emotions set to the side.

Packer fans (members here) always want to parade MM's won-loss Record out there as if that has diddly to do with winning the HUGE Game.

As the Packer HC and in a pressure packed situation is Mike McCarthy the ROCK or the:



Darn it Fritz, I hope if MM ever manages to get on the door step of another Super Bowl edition he doesn't blow it lie he did in Seattle. Those loss's Vs San Fran are telling as well; but I only find fault there because of his stubbornness to not see the light and getting rid of Dom Capers a long time ago. If shit happens you need to react in some other direction not continue to wade in it.

We saw it too long ago. Members like wist43 and red and others here like Tank and Rutnstrut and others clearly were correct and Dom Capers; as NOT being the Guy as DC. It was too easy to see. Too many here wouldn't pay attention to our observations and common sense. Maybe it's an age thing!? Some of us want another Super Bowl Victory before we enter the Packer Fan Hall of Fame in the Sky. hahahaha As a Packer fan It wasn't easy in the 1970's and 1980's and early 1990's and until GM Ron Wolf and HC Mike Holmgren and his Coaching Staff. Brett Favre and Reggie White and all the Packers were in the back to back Super Bowl Era, when Favre was clearly the BEST in the World and 'THE FACE' of the NFL for three Seasons.

Mike McCarthy is either loyal or just really dumb stubborn !? Maybe?... MM had his hands tied by the Ultimate Control Freakishness of Ted Thompson; but I think it's a combination of things and IMO the need for a better TEAM and BRASS and direction for Packer Nation. I see too much already this Off Season to not see that little has changed since Ted Thompson as the GM. It just might simply be growing pains.

We'll all see it and some will always deny the obvious...and ... that's what makes our World spin hahaha.

AP: Aaron Rodgers admits he may leave Green Bay to play as long as Tom Brady

BY:Arnie Stapelton ...5:49 PM, Feb 1, 2018 ...10:24 PM, Feb 1, 2018

OK I'm full on now with this:

The Packers have a ton of need and a Roster that's lost it's once valued strength.

It's become difficult to actually muster a legitimate starting lineup that can compete with NFL Teams that have and are passing them.

It's time to get a legitimate Backup QB and we can very likely Draft QB Lamar Jackson with a Grade of 5.91 4th Ranked QB and that 'within the Ball Park' GRADE of the NO. 2 Ranked QB Josh Rosen with a Grade of 6.19.

https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/prospects/QB?college=allColleges&page=1&status=ALL

Sam Darnold gets an outstanding Grade comparatively of 7.00. He's be this Year's Draft's NO. 1 Pick unless the BROWNS Panic and are in love with RB Saquan Barkley Graded TOPS at 7.45 or DE Bradley Chubb Graded at 7.25. Outstanding GUARD Quenton Nelson gets a terrific second best Grade of 7.34.

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/lamar-jackson?id=32462018-0002-5600-53b1-0f1a50e94b24

OK wait a bit ( i need some more time with this evaluation) I'm looking at his Draft Profile Pic and wondering where his shoulders went?

Well we aren't at the retirement stage, but we are at the open trade speculation stage of the veteran quarterback lifecycle.

Rodgers said he doesn't think Favre ever fathomed leaving Green Bay before the Packers dealt him in 2008 to the Jets to make room for Rodgers. Favre finished his career in Minnesota.

"I think you have to be humble enough to realize if it could happen to Brett, it can happen to you," Rodgers said.

I recall many many Moons ago writing a satirical Post after the Packers lost the Playoff Game Vs the Minnesota Vikings, after they handled them twice during the Regular 2004 Season. The Vikings came into those Playoffs looking weak; an easy touch for the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay were playing extremely well, winning by far the majority of their last three quarters of the scheduled games (yes it was 9 of their last 11 games that the Packers had won)..

In that Play Off game Vs Minny the Packers game out flat and the Vikings got the jump on them and went up 10 to 14 Points. early. After that the Viking 'D' just played terrific to stymie Favre and the Packer 'O'. There was also something and that game late near the Vikings Goal Line (the Packers needing a TD) and Favre making some 'Bonehead' play !?

I'm sure it was around 2005. My fictional story had the Packer HC Mike Sherman (and another five or six Packer BRASS) all in attendance, discussing Brett Favre's impending future; while fishing in an Ice Shack in Northern Wisconsin. That post would have been made at The JSO Packer Forum, and as I recall it; forecasted Brett Favre's impending doom.

My post wasn't well received. I have to be one of the biggest supporters publicly and personally of Brett Favre; but I saw the writing on the wall after that ugly Playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

He lasted 2005 - 07 or three more Seasons and his last one in Green Bay was one of his very finest; but 'the Deep Southern Boy' wasn't up with the horrific coldness Vs the New York Giants on that last day and game at Lambeau Field. It was another one of Fave's 'close but no cigar'' huge games.

I'll have a look as I saw that loss to Minnesota as the beginning of the end for Favre in Green Bay. OK...here it is:

i think every NFL players needs to realize that

they are all expendable , very very few go out with their original teams

[mraynrand]

Jiminy Christmas. Brownie fan would go ballistic if the Browns drafted Barkley #1. Not even the Jets would do that. Browns might be persuaded to trade the #1 pick to get Barkley, Chubb and another QB if they were sure their QB remained...

I have it on 'good authority' that the days of the expensive franchise QB are over
