AR wants out?!

[George Cumby]

I think what Rodgers wants is a contract structured so Packers can't cut him to gain salary cap room in the event they think Love is ready to start. What the Packers probably want is to avoid a situation where a career-altering injury to Rodgers leaves them having to pay Rodgers tons of money to sit on the sidelines. This happened to Dallas a few years back when Tony Romo had to retire due to a back injury.

This.

[Tony Oday]

Well then he realized that he lost the public perception battle and now is retreating, I will never like AR as much as I did.

[Packers4Glory]

Here we have many spoiled fans who probably don’t know life without a HOF QB running the offense ��������

Goddamned clown show. I almost hope you get what you deserve but then I suffer too

[George Cumby]

I remember as far back as Dan Devine. Tank is probably the youngest poster here, most everyone is significantly older so IDK what you're on about.

How about AR man up and quit hiding behind his surrogates? If he has something to say, let’s hear it.

Who is he gonna talk to? the God damned media bastards who stirred up this trouble to start with? If I was him, whatever the outcome of this mess, I'd Tweet out a statement or whatever saying "I will never talk to those media bastards".

Are you saying you don't trust Hawk or Kuhn or James Jones a helluva lot more than the media shitheads?

Regarding the Cumby post about age and Tank, we ought to have a thread where everybody states for the record how old they are. I'll go first; I just turned 74. Can anybody top that? The only person I recall in here who I think was older than me was Maxie the Taxi, and he apparently either died or retired from posting. I think some of these newish posters are fairly young, but who knows.

Sterling Sharpe can give him some pointers.

DUDE you have a lot of great points, but all this blame the media crap is complete Bullshit

I blame the media for spreading untruths.

This is completely accurate. Marcia Admitted it. Gutebag Admitted it. Listen to all of the guys who are closest to Rodgers speak. ......and they are talking with him off the record.

Josh Kuhn
Devanta Adams
Jason Wilde
Mark Tauscher
James Jones

This shit is real. AROD has told GB he doesn't wanna come back.

Hopefully Gutebag .....or somebody...maybe it needs to be LaFleur.....changes his mind.


But this shit is real. The one thing Rodgers has going for him is he's hiding behind it all and not commenting about anything. So if GB bends over backwards for him, extends him, secures him for a while, and pays him a shitton of money........as long as he keeps hiding he can just say it was all overblown. He seems to be keeping that card.

But this blame the media........for something that is real.....I have only one things for you

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any of those former Packer sources ever quoted Rodgers as saying he doesn't want to come back to the Packers. If he ever made any kind of statement like that to the Packer leadership at all, it likely was just a negotiating tactic and never would have seen the light of day except for these despicable media shitheads. Do you really think those miserable east and west coast lying bastards do NOT have an agenda to fuck things up for our wonderful midwestern team?

And if the Packers are successful at extending him, it is not "bending over backwards for him". It is doing what OBVIOUSLY is best for the team.

It may be a negotiating tactic and I can respect that view. I think it's more. I just listened to the full podcast of Colin Cowher's chat with Devante Adams. He just added to what I think has occurred. There were certain things AROD wanted (extension) and management didn't embrace this and that did not sit well with Rodgers...etc.....

I hear just as much local chatter about shit seriously wrong with AROD and GUTE from guys like Wilde and Tauscher as I do nationally. I hope he changes his mind; and maybe it's just a negotiating tactic. And I hope it is. But I think it's more, and I think the resentment is real. Listening to the interviews of players and people who have contact with him just re inforce this

[texaspackerbacker]

I heard the Davante Adams thing too. Sure, he hinted Rodgers is pissed off with Gutekunst - who wouldn't be in his situation? Hell yeah, his resentment is probably real. Why wouldn't it be? But nobody among the credible sources - former and current Packers - has said he wants to leave, not even that he demands they fire Gutekunst - which, IMO, he'd be very justified in demanding.

Partial is actually the youngest active poster around here. However, much to the dismay of the Kentucky, I am the only one here who has not grown up.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I can’t grow up when no hot chick would accept my seeds and therefore provide me with a future shutdown corner offspring.

As a wise man once said, on the grasslands of Africa, lionesses flock to the strongest lion; in this piggery of a prison, hot chicks flock to the man with sumptuous capital. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I flip burgers for the minimum wage. I lack capital. Ain’t no hot chick wants to mate with me.

Guess the lion shouldn't have treated the super smart weakling lion so poorly in high school huh?

Whatcha talkin about?

I have to flip burgers b/c no pig would hire me to cook their books. That’s beyond my control.

Wilde and Tauscher talk about him wanting to leave as fact on a daily basis. Other packer reporters do as well. Nearly everybody wants AROD to return and they are really hopeful he can work out his differences with Gutebag and return. They often reference the number. What they means is where they are all at as far as the percentage Rodgers is gone. Wilde's number is about 50 right now. when this started other Packer beat writers were between 75-90. For Wilde it was 70 a couple weeks ago so it seems to be improving.

As for the Fire Guter.....I don't think anybody close to AROD has confirmed that.

But as for the stalemate and Rodgers asking to be traded; I think that is real.
