Gute’s life as GM

[RashanGary]

You build back to back NFCC contenders and you’re not only a clueless monkey, but the reason you’re failing is because you’re a bad person out to prove how great you are.

Holy hell, imagine being the GM of a losing team. What utter piece of shit human beings they must be to suck so bad at life.

[GB-Brandon]

He didn’t take over a losing operation though. Yes, they had the bad season with McCarthy and things were getting stale etc but Thompson left the Command Center fully stocked with $ & picks. He had “12 picks” and basically had years of cap savings that he went and spent in one offseason!! Not one penny really spent to help AR12 other then basically a wasted signing on Jimmie Graham! No, Gutekunst had everybody chanting “Championship Defense.” That was the big theme!

Not saying I don’t like some of signings but many called the vacant position “The Best Job In The NFL” with all that and Aaron Rodgers locked in as your QB. Many thought he was going to be the one to restock the offense and he immediately didn’t! He promised “To Be In On Every Deal” but those were just fancy words for running around and low balling everyone with numbers that were never going to be accepted!!! He still does and I don’t know why. I haven’t seen it work one time. It just creates mindless chatter!!

This all leads too the place where “I Opted Out” and IMO the damage became somewhat irreparable with not only picking a QB in the first round but trading up to do it! It showed all we needed to know! It showed who this guy was and his true colors and what his real motivation was and what his shortcoming were and how he was in no position to control them. He created a “Double Edged Sword” that cuts both ways that not only hurt the team in the present with Jordan Love not even suiting up and the Packers not being able to use that capital on their Super Bowl Run but now we’re left with this situation and drama, distraction and what to do with parties constantly posturing themselves!! It was one of the worst if not the worst draft picks of All-Time considering The State Of All Things at that time!! I don’t care if Aaron Rodgers is smug or narcissistic or cocky or difficult to deal with and you don’t like him Brian!!! His teammates Love Him and he is the BEST Damn QB to ever PLAY THIS GAME YOU FOOL!!!

It’s drawn division in the fan base and constant dribble in the Media. It’s just a Fucken Disaster!! We should be celebrating a “World Championship” right now and instead we’re dealing with the wounds of all this bullshit and “What’s Next?” and “Where Do We Go From Here?”

Thank You But “No Thank You” Brian Gutekunst!!!! All you had to Fucken do was the obvious thing!!!!!!! And instead you let your Ego get in the way of “Greatness”!!!!

I blocked the only reply to this thread but let me guess. He sucks because he failed to surround ARod with the talent to score a TD on every single drive ever.

Gutes is back near my good graces. Still not too happy with drafting Love, but if it was what it took to get ARod invested in the Flower offense it was worth it. I also think he got carried away spending in that first off season, but 2 NFCC appearances now that the fat fuck is no longer our coach can't be argued with.

I'm not 100% sold on Gutes, but I am coming around. Lets see how he handles the cap mess he created.

[texaspackerbacker]

Brandon basically got it right - before Gutekunst took over, the Packers were never not NFCC contenders unless you go back to the pre-Favre era.

I also am not 100% sold on the guy. After a couple of very good drafts, he completely fucked up the last one. He has seemed to do a good job snagging quality FAs, although not so much this year. He got LaFleur, and the team went 13-3 X 2 on his watch. What will determine it for me is retaining Aaron Rodgers long term or not, as the Packers go right in the toilet no matter what else happens if we lose Rodgers anytime before 6 or 8 years from now. Secondarily, I will have a diminished opinion of him if he fails to retain Aaron Jones.

If he does what I advocate - beat the cap problem this year with back loaded contracts and restructuring rather than sacrifice, I will be greatly for him.

Does anybody in here know German? Gut, I know, means good. Does kunst mean ...... the primary word that comes to mind when you see it?

[hoosier]

Kunst means art, you imbecile.

I don't have the patience to try and figure out what GBB is trying to say, and RG's OP is too cryptic for me to decipher. The decision to draft Love can only be judged when Love finally gets to show whether or not he can play. If he can, it was a good decision regardless: remember the old Wolf (that's Wölfin to you, Tex) saying, that the worst time to be looking for a QB is when you need one. When the opportunity presents itself, you jump at it. And since, like most of us, I am just a casual observer, all I can judge Gute by is his record. I'd be willing to admit that we need a full five years before we can really assess him.

[GB-Brandon]

That’s fine and people can jump down all these “Fairy Tale Rabbit Holes” to find some security in the pick.

The Bottom Line is Gute and the Packer Front Office are “Back Peddling.” Things went off-script and Rodgers outplayed anything they envisioned. Our own front office bet against Aaron Rodgers and Giving him everything they could to win a Super Bowl and now they sound like a bunch of Babbling Idiots as they try to maneuver through it.

Something big right in front of us is coming down the pipe whether people want to come to grips with it or not. It’s not gonna take no “5 Years” to sort this thing out!!!

Brian Gutekunst entered this arena when he made this pick and all the things that come with it and potential possibilities!! That’s why it was talked about for months after the pick and now it is being blasted all over the media all over again. It’s all coming to a head rather quickly in regards to extending Rodgers on a “New Contract” which connects to the “Salary Cap” and direction of the team and why have 1st round QB that you traded up for sitting around holding a clip board! It’s all right there NOW!!

[GB-Brandon]

So we’re supposed to sit around and field a competitive team that can’t get it done and wait for Rodgers to suffer a career ending Injury and then look like geniuses inserting Jordan Love?

Like thats somehow gonna be the “Winning Formula”?

We mine as well just trade Rodgers now and burn the whole the thing to the ground!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Maybe Rodgers is the Problem!!!! Trade Rodgers and I’m sure everything will work out just fine all the sudden. Yeah, getting rid of Rodgers has to be the way to get over the hump! LOL!!

All of our problems and deficiencies will magically go away if we just get rid of Rodgers!!

Gute knows best. Go Trust Gute!!!

No one in 2020 from Sept on has ever said move on from rodgers. The stuff you post in the draft thread is great. This is an ostrich shoving its head in a pile if shit and thinking it makes sense. Move on from saying gute wants rodgers gone.

[GB-Brandon]

I follow people’s “Actions.”

I don’t care what Gute “Say’s”

[RashanGary]

I'd laugh if Rodgers went down for 6 games next year, Love wins 4 out of the 6 Rodgers is out and then Rodgers wins the super bowl. It would definitely be sweet for gutes look on that move.

Then Love gets traded for two 1s!

First he has to beat out Tim Boyle. “JUNK”

Ole Brandon needs to change his username to “Anti-German Shepherd,” and he oughtta start posting “Brian is Trapped in the Closet” lyrics.

Stayed tuned for the final chapter of Ted is Trapped in the Closet. In the meantime, out of respect for the recently departed Ted Thompson, I’d like to change my username to....(see Musings of a Polar Bear thread in FYI).

[GB-Brandon]

Why should I be excited about Gute or any of it? He has lived off Ted Thompson’s talent on offense and has us 36 million over the Cap!! He hasn’t moved the needle one bit doing anything anyone envisioned putting Greatness Around our Great QB on Offense!

Total Disaster!

New QB didn’t work out so bad for Bucs...
