AR wants out?!

[ThunderDan]

I'll risk posting twice in a row to add one caveat: if in the back corner of Mark Murphy's head he's been thinking he's not really thrilled with Gutekunst's work as GM, and someone else would be better, wouldn't this be your perfect "out"? Fire Gutes, give Russ Ball or someone else the job, be clear to the public that Rodgers had no say in the choice of the new GM, get Rodgers to come back with an extension, all is love and butterflies again, and you got rid of the guy you secretly weren't happy with.

Interesting thought. I’ll add on to it. What if you are on the Board of Directors and you think Murphy fucked up the end of TT (waited a year or two too long), fucked up the restructure of duties and fucked up with the GM pick?

Do you vote Murphy out and let the new President pick a new GM?

[George Cumby]

Me either.

lol

Murphy is part of the problem, IMO.

What a terrible precedent to set.

I'm all for trading Erin for a boat-load of picks.

Yep. I'm also for giving him a second chance if he rethinks things and wants to come back. I hope for the latter, but expect the former

FWIW all of the players in this situation are out of line. MM fucked up keeping fat mike around too long then setting up this dysfunctional triangle of authority bs. Erin is pissed and behaving badly because he knows precious time of his career was wasted. MM should have been smart enough to know how drafting Love would look but also be smart enough to know where the roster was and what was needed. When you have this type of talent you maximize it for as long as its running the future be damned. That being said if anyone here thinks the two seasons prior to last year gave anyone confidence in Erin you are ignorant. Nagler had some Tweets where Erin was one hopping balls and missing guys all over. No one is bigger than the team and that includes Erin, MM and Gute who from where I stand gets a D so far. This team has needed someone who can evaluate D talent and understand how much Defense matters. It's what won the SB last year absolutely. Erin with that type of D and milquetoast Offensive talent wins 3 SB easily.

Absolutely, but with no owner the BOD has a duty to the franchise only. If you really think Murphy has mucked this all up, you need to hold him responsible.

I would guess if the Packers struggle the next few years, the Board cleans out the whole front office and starts again.

Do it, but not because your being given ultimatum by a player. They can clean it out after the dust settles in this BS.

Should have traded him to Denver and got Fields.

[Packers4Glory]

And yet, Gary was a significant contibutor to the team that was a play or so way from the Superbowl last year, and could be even more impactful this year.

Didn’t change The fact it was a dumb pick. You don’t draft a B project player in round 1 on a team that should contend for a SB after spending the most FA money you’ve ever spent on the same position plus you had Kyle F still on the roster. Come on. Stop being a blind apologist. Everyone who is anyone sees this & how they’ve basically miss handled Rodgers entire career.

Might still happen. Open it up to the highest bidder.

Blind apologist. Whatever. Bye Felicia.

[Packers4Glory]

Its being reported from several sources that Aaron to Denver is almost done. A lot depends on what Murphy ultimately decides. I don’t think Rodgers id bluffing. Soo they either fire the GM or trade him or get nothing & he sits. Nothing about his personality says he’s bluffing.

I will take that as you gave nothing to intelligently refute any of that
