HE FORGOT MARCEDES LEWIS

All these “Fairy Tales” come to an end as soon Rodgers decides to take his ball and go home which I completely expect sooner then later with this bullshit situation the organization has put him in.

It’s really interesting how we haven’t heard anything yet from Rodgers about this as he carefully calculates his plan to get the fuck out of this dysfunction.

Maybe he can retire, and then appear with ??? - Greta Van Susteren is currently off the air, I believe. There has to be somewhere he can go to cry on TV.

Favre is the perfect go-to guy for advice on how to leverage yourself out of a team on a SB trajectory!

Some dumb ass Rookie Coach and Fraudulent second year GM running around burning bridges with a HOF QB with plenty of tread left on the tire.

Yeah let’s talk about year 1, year 2 and year 3?

It’s called

6-10
3-13
4-12

Wow!!!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!!!

Didn't someone start an Aaron Rodgers thread that was the same format as the world famous Official Brett Favre thread?

I cannot find it. But it is time.

Many Many differences and this has caused IMO a lot of confusion among the fan base.

First of all NFL contracts and the salary cap are different then in 2005 and how it is all set up. The rookie QB deal is a way many teams now try to compete in the modern day NFL. By drafting Jordan Love the Packers have a value budget QB for up too 5 years. It has been widely used by teams so they can allocate assets to other areas of the roster and making it more manageable to re-sign there other players they want to keep so it relieves the overall cap situation.

Secondly while the Packers groomed Rodgers for 3 years on the bench this just isn’t practiced anymore. In fact, most rookie 1st round QB’s today are almost immediately put into the fire day 1, if not during sometime their rookie season. Pat Mahommes was even an outlier to this but was still inserted as the starter after his rookie season. This was after Alex Smith led them to a division championship and playoff berth with Smith then being traded during the offseason.

Lastly, the dynamics of the situation are completely different. Ted Thompson had Rodgers fall too him and many had Rodgers as the No.1 overall pick in the draft. It was a weird year where nobody was looking for QB’s. This is a situation where the Packers traded up to draft a QB which some believe was the 5th or 6th best QB in the draft. The number 1 player in the draft simply didn’t just fall to us. This willingness to move up after a 13-3 season has to point to there already being some decay somewhere in the organization with Rodgers.

So overall the value is just too high to keep JL on the bench for 3 or 4 years with his rookie contract . On top of this the “daily distraction” would be too much. I mean can you imagaine what’s gonna be the narrative every time Rodgers has a bad game? This will become cancerous to the locker room and the organization and the pressure building with “Social Media” etc etc will not allow for JL to simply just sit on the bench for 3-4 years. This simply isn’t 2004-2005. LaFluer/Gute are gonna get asked way more by the media every day about Jordan Love then Belichick was asked about Antonio Brown last season. It’s never gonna work.

Your first point - do you believe they will start love over arod this or the next year baring injury? If not your point is moot.

Second I can't think of any QB since I have watched football who was groomed for three years besides Rodgers. So no history before during or since, your point is moot.

Third, this very similar reaction occurred in 2005 which is my original point. Most fans and media were flummoxed that we would draft a QB instead of a wr.

You have not shown a difference between then and now. Both qbs are behind a hof QB who some think doesn't care or want to be with the present management. The only difference is hindsight with arod and the unknown with love.

Our reaction and the media reactions are basically identical.

I agree, upnorth. We were all here 15 years ago. Any other fan base would be losiing their minds right now, but we've seen this before so we're like, yeah, whatever. Even Rodgers had to have known this was possible

[RashanGary]

Media was even asking about a QB before the draft this year. Everyone knew this is about the time you'd do it. Groom a guy for 2-3 years and then let the 38-40 year old guy go.

Well unfortunately your “history lesson” has one major flaw. The percentages required for this to work out like last time might be equivalent to winning the Lottery twice .


Go read another History Book.

Let me be clear that I am not rooting against Jordan Love but as much as I want the Packers to win the probabilities are not in our favor. Franchises have literally spent decades looking for a franchise QB so to me the downside is much more probable.

The arrogance to make this move all things considered to me is just disgusting.

Yeah because finding HOF QB’s is just so easy. Lol. We do it in our sleep.
