AR wants out?!

[bobblehead]

Bobble, I think you have a new model for the NFL that you'd like to see teams try. I think it would be fun to see a team try your idea: build a killer defense, a killer offensive line, draft a couple of really good running backs, and play like it's 1975 and see if you can win a SB that way. Try it without spending a gazillion dollars a year on your QB.

But let's let GB try it with Rodgers another time or two first...

Make no mistake, I want Rodgers back this year. I would go ahead and take the 3 firsts if its on the table, but all things equal I think this is an Owl roster and we need him to make it happen. I don't want to waste that. Also, Rodgers is top 3. Its not like Wilson or Watson. Its not like we have matty melt. We aren't trotting a top 10 (borderline) QB like Baker Mayfield out there. Its the reigning MVP. I want him back to win an Owl. Then when the season ends I ask him straight. "Do you still want to be traded?" Do you want us to sign Kumerow?

Jimmy G was worthless. WTF. Tank is lol.

I kind of agree, but would say that he was less than worthless. He actually was a net detriment. Any JAG could've done what that lazy fuck did for us, just better with more effort.

If Love looks real this year, trade Rodgers next year.

If Love doesn’t look real, bend for Rodgers and make it long term into his 40’s


Rodger pretty much has to show up for training camp and the season or he gives up 90 million over the last couple years. He’s under contract. He’s gonna show up. But now if love is panning out, you make the switch a year early.

[RashanGary]

It’s weird cuz Rodgers wants longer term security to not be traded off or cast aside, but he’s making it really easy to move on if Love starts panning out. If Love isn’t panning out, Rodgers just makes it really weird.

I support Rodgers reasons but I don’t see how he’s helping himself even a little bit.

[Bretsky]

I have concerns even if AROD shows he comes in with less than the attitude we'd want to lead us to a Super Bowl. Gute made some f'ck ups.....but I'm at peace if they'd get a ton of value for Rodgers with a trade and move on.

If Kumerow being cut was a main reason Rodgers is pissed, I think it wouldn't have mattered what they did. They keep Kumerow, Rodgers would have found something else to be ticked off about. Kumerow?!?!

Mark Murphy needs to shut the fuck up

the guy makes the rodgers situation work every time he opens his mouth

and still people are bitching about rodgers for turning this into a mess when he's the only one not running his mouth on a daily basis

[Joemailman]

I don't think Rodgers would have a problem with being called a complicated fella. He is that. I am a little put off by Murphy using a private quote by a deceased person who was known for shunning the spotlight.

Correct. And he should know how that works, because it is exactly how he took the job from Favre. Favre hated practice and kept faking retirement to get out of it, and eventually the Packers realized Rodgers was good enough for them moving forward because they saw enough of him in practice when Favre was not around.

I just don't really understand what Rodgers thinks he is accomplishing here other than eventually getting dumped on a lesser team to finish his career.

Not daily, just 2 hours before the draft.

What did Murphy say?

[Joemailman]

What did Murphy say?

"I'm often reminded though ... of Ted Thompson, as most of you know, just a great general manager, passed away (earlier this year)," Murphy said, according to NBC 26 in Green Bay. "(Thompson) often talked about Aaron, that he's a ... and it wasn't just Aaron, a lot of different players. He would say, 'He's a complicated fella.' So, I'll just say that."

[RashanGary]

He kind of put it on Aaron. Not completely, but Aaron being complicated is definitely not Gutes fault. So he publicly let us know that Gute has his backing.

[RashanGary]

Twitter was going off about it too. The Packers are moving forward being the Packers regardless of what a complicated player might want or think. I don’t see anything wrong with that or anything the Packers have said or done since this started.

Nice Job Marcia
