I wonder if he sees the wonderful dramatic irony in the Pack drafting a 1st round QB near the end of his career?Originally posted by Zool View PostHow long before the tear-filled, first retirement press conference? I forget the timeline on these things.

You think APB throws a fit every time they hire a young new burger flipper for minimum wage?Originally posted by King Friday View PostIf your boss hired a whiz kid from Harvard to learn your job when you weren't ready to move on, you'd be pissed too.
Wait, maybe he does.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

I think every QB is a diva, though. I don't think anything he did based on what he know is bad behavior or diva like tbh. They team drafted his replacement. In the words of Jermichael Swarley Finley, What do he suppose to do?Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View PostI'm tried of diva QBs. Let's do this.

They traded up to get his replacement who would not help him win at all instead of trading up to draft a stud wr like he's been needing for years to pair with adams, or any other impact player that could have helped him win nowOriginally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostI think every QB is a diva, though.

You mean like the packers did when they drafted Rodgers? Never heard rodgers say "ya know, this really isn't fair to Brent."Originally posted by King Friday View PostIf your boss hired a whiz kid from Harvard to learn your job when you weren't ready to move on, you'd be pissed too.
You know what else I haven't heard yet? We reached out to rodgers for comment on our anonymous source.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

Did he get his own locker room this season? I have to assume yes.

Yet somehow we still had an historic season on offense. And somehow if he hadn't pussied out and run the fucking ball on 2nd and goal we might have an Owl under our belt.Originally posted by red View PostDon't blame him. 8 of the last 9 first round picks have been defensive players, the 9th was his replacement
We were one or two plays away from another super bowl last year. A first or second round player that would have contributed at all, might have given us a super bowl
Yup, rodgers seems like a dick, but the team has done about the bare minimum in the draft and through free agency to help him on offenseThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

R-E-L-A-X !!!
Undoubtedly this is fake news crap for the purpose of increasing ratings for the draft on ESPN tonight. Nothing is gonna happen, not tonight, not after June 1, not anytime this offseason, probably not for a good while after that.
If there is anything to it, it's a negotiating tactic to get him an extension. It is beyond belief that the Packers leadership would be such a pack of idiots that they would compound the idiocy of drafting Love by not extending Rodgers long term.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

As others have posted, it's an organizational decision to draft the best players they feel are available to help the team. No one player is above the team and if they are then good riddance. If Gute and company thought Love was a top 10 talent and still available that late in the first round, it makes sense they trusted their board and went after Love given we're almost always picking late in draft.
Given Rodgers age and with no decent backup (sorry Boyle but he's a clipboard holder) it also made sense to draft a QB who could keep the season afloat if Rodgers went down for a few games, not to mention that if his level of play declined the Packers would have a possible replacement. I wasn't a fan of the pick myself but then again I wasn't a fan of the Rodgers pick when we had Favre and that turned out okay. Love hasn't even been given a chance for the fan base to determine if he's a bust, average QB or a solid starter for the future.
Taking the action to draft Love personally suggests a huge EGO problem. If you consider yourself the best you should welcome competition as it often brings out the best.
Now if the Packers told him during the offseason that they were going to trade him (I don't believe that for a second though as what purpose would it serve and why wouldn't they have traded him when QB's were moving earlier this offseason) then yeah, Rodgers has a right to be pissed and I don't blame him.
Still looking for old articles where Love was considered a Trey Lance type prospect I thought and if goes top 5 then getting Love at #26 seems like a steal.
Might need to load up on the jiffypop for the circus tonight - it's going to be full on popcorn time.60% of the time it works every time.
