AR wants out?!

[call_me_ishmael]

I think this was an interesting interview with Alex Smith.

[Freak Out]

If he shows up and plays great. If he is traded for a kings ransom that's great as well. He is one of the GOATs without question. Just amazing how lucky we have been as Packers fans. If it wasn't for moronic scrubs like Bostick he'd have at least another SB. But all things pass.

[Freak Out]

i'll go ahead and say it since no one else has the balls to

i question a-rods mental state right now

he's dated a lot of really really good looking girls, guys rich, and i'm told good looking. he can probably get any chick he wants

but he is now engaged to one homely, fugly looking girl. i just don't get it. she better be great in the sack with a bag over her head or something

i mean, woof

She ain't woof you fuck. She's not Gisele but oh well.

Goddammit Red, we can always count on you for insight into what is really happening.

If the front office had thought about this when the news first broke that he was dating Shailene Woodley, they could've traded him to Denver or the Raiders toot suite.

For the first time, I'm kind of pessimistic about the chances of Rodgers playing for the Packers. In the past, he has always participated in, and stressed the importance of working with his receivers at OTA's. He's always embraced the leadership role of the starting QB. If he were planning on playing for the Packers, I don't think he'd be posting Instagram pictures of his Hawaiian vacation while his teammates are on the practice field.

He does seem hell bent on trying to stick it to the organization.

I wonder what the other players think of Gutekunst. I mean, how much could P. Smith and Z. Smith dislike the guy, after how much he paid them?

But I do think Gutekunst is the sticking point. If he's serious about wanting Rodgers back, he needs to publicly flog himself and promise to include Rodgers in certain personnel discussions. Rodgers is the kind of guy who needs to see a public surrender on Gutekunst's part.

Based upon Rodgers petty grudge holding and his holier than thou attitude the following saying is fitting. You can't unscramble an egg.

her face is like a 3 or 4

her body is nice, but to quote the great matt damon, she looks like she fell off the top of the ugly tree and it every branch on the way down

I agree with this and my position has changed from 75-25 he’s be back to basically 50/50 or worse. Not only did he skip OTAs, but he went on ESPN prime time and made it known he wasn’t participating for a reason. That had little to do with Kenny Mayne IMHO.

The kicker is I don’t see how Gooter comes back from this. Right, wrong or indifferent WRT draft pick, it’s very clear they didn’t handle the situation well enough.

I really don’t think he will be worth as much as people think. I think he might yield a #1 but almost certainly not two number ones. He yanked his value like Kawhi did.

A lot of people are reading a lot into this mess with very little knowledge. A lawyer in a trial would say, "assuming facts not in evidence". Nothing has changed for better or for worse in the past few days. Rodgers just played with the media fools in the ESPN interview, and without agreement in place, it is not unexpected that he'd fail to show up at the practice drills. The closest thing to significance that has happened is the apparent show of solidarity for Rodgers by the wide receivers. Adams would not have been expected to show up, but Valdez-Scantling, Lazard, St. Brown, even Funchess not to show up says something about what they're hoping for IMO.

CMI, as usual, you undervalue what we have and overvalue what others have. Your "Kawhi" reference, he would be something like Stafford. Rodgers equates to Giannis if anybody in the NBA. - the best of the best and meaning far more to a team than any other single player.

Tex, I wish I had your ability to ignore everything going on and come up to a kool aide conclusion )))

Kawhi is the best player in the NBA this side of LeBron. He was traded for a hamburger basically because he totally tanked his value since he made it clear he wasn’t going back. Rodgers has basically done the same thing: I don’t think anyone is giving up multiple first rounders for him. Recall Favre was worth two third round picks coming off a season he took second in the MVP race.

[King Friday]

I still have relatively high confidence that Rodgers will be back because I think the Packers will ultimately bend over to give him most of what he wants. They won't do it immediately, but they will get there. They have to craft it in such a way that it doesn't look like complete appeasement. I'm also relatively convinced that Gute isn't interested in trading Rodgers, and I'm fairly certain Rodgers isn't interested in retiring, or he could've done that already.

Rodgers had a lot of good things to say about Green Bay in his interview as well. His argument that he put forth is weak. The coaches and players establish the culture far more than the front office. Trying to claim that Green Bay was jumping at the chance to dump him doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If that is the best he's got in this debate, he's going to lose the war.

That's pure bullshit. There are half a dozen better in the NBA than Kawhi and Lebron at this point might not even one of them.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a team or several offered multiple firsts plus for Rodgers, but it still would be stupid for the Packers to make even that ridiculous a trade.
