AR wants out?!

[call_me_ishmael]

No, its just that every GM is going to say that we knew it all along. The packers drafted Love because they like his skill set. If you ask them after he wins an MVP they will say "yep, never a doubt". If you ask them now they will hedge and say "he certainly has all the tools to win one." No way any GM says "yea, we knew he was a dud."

Gooter is going to tell us exactly what he thinks about Love within a month or so. We’ll see if he’s right.

I disagree. His beef is he feels dissed. He can't get along with his own family. He went from "like a father" with MM to "piece of shit". He goes through relationships in his life like someone who doesn't understand the give in give and take.

But he’s right in this case. I would be livid too. They certainly made it known they would consider a QB. That right there is the problem for him. Alex Smith was cool with it because he’s Alex Smith and happy to be employed at 34-35. They also let him find a trade to a destination of his choosing.

It’s a business but the business is to win games now too. Unless Love is a very good QB and dramatically outkicks his coverage it was a stupid pick, no two-ways about it.

Such a narrow view. There's plenty of situations where it pans out. Rodgers could have kept sliding downward as he had the past two years. Some argue Rodgers play last year was a result of him wanting to prove them wrong for drafting Love. If true, it's already a win. Rodgers could get hurt and Love could be good enough to keep them afloat until Rodgers is healthy. Love might show enough to get serious interest from another team and have good trade value.Rodgers might demand a trade because he's got daddy issues, leaving the Packers high and dry.

There's more than two ways about it

That's pretty damn petty for a grown man as a professional. I can see being a bit annoyed, but demanding a trade? That's screams of some serious issues, if true.

Miles Teller got punched in the face in Hawaii because he is a douche. These are the people Rodgers hangs with. He's a mental midget when it comes to common sense. He might be an intellectual guy, but plenty of geniuses are complete wrecks when it comes to relationships and people.

Considering Rodgers past history with family and women...I would say that seems to be an apt description. The one area he seems comfortable with is teammates, so that could be part of the reason he is so pissed off when the Packers get rid of someone. His "it's the people, man" mantra is more about the fact that Rodgers has trouble building relationships, so when a pal leaves he feels slighted. Reaching the end of his career also probably causes him grief, as he realizes the one area he can build relationships more easily is about to go away. Did he grab onto Shailene because he hopes she can be the one to build relationships for him going forward? She's obviously picked a good one in Teller.

To me the Love pick was dumb because the team was on the cusp of a title and you took someone who would offer nothing for 2-3 years. Also, great QBs are coming out of college at a high rate these days. A kid like Fields fell because of the vast numbers of capable QBs. Unlike 20 years ago, nearly every major college program is running an offense that has a lot of similarity to the NFL. It's easier to get a good young QB these days, and they are more prepared to step in and play if you put a capable team around them.

Gute won't say anything. Love playing on an NFL field in a real game situation will be what speaks volumes.

Society is messed up. Rodgers not aligning with normal might be a compliment and something to admire.

Might be. Might also be he's emotionally immature and petty. Time may tell.

It’s getting pretty tough for me to give a shit. I don’t like soap operas. This is like a shitty version of that. Either play football or STFU.

I’m with you on that.

Yep.

Agreed!

Perhaps if there was a better love interest... Cast the smith bros as a good and evil twin. Stokes is actually barry's illegitimate son and dillion is possessed by the ghost of jim brown

Favre needs a bigger role in the soap opera if this thing is going to have any legs. Maybe pair him up with one of Rodgers ex girlfriends to create added tension, and have him unretire?
