Report: Aaron Rodgers wants the Packers to fire G.M. Brian Gutekunst

[MadtownPacker]

There may be some in here who for some weird reason like you, but I say you're a stinking piece of Viking shit. I very much doubt it will happen, but I really wish Madtown would kick your worthless ass out of this forum.

Im just going to make this clear as possible. Rastak has had and will always have a seat at the PackerRats table. He has by far caused less, maybe even none, trouble here than you. He was the draft day guy for many years and is a part of the family. I am sure many others agree.

Tell me how would it feel Tex if Zool got to give in to his desire to zap you forever? Weak and cowardly would be what it was. You are really asking me to stoop to such a low level just to make your over-privileged ass feel better?

What has he done to deserve banishment other than be a Viking fan and disagree with you? Give me a good reason why and I will do it right now. Fail to and you better have a good reason why I don’t ban you for being a pompous fuck about it all.

I said I really didn't think it would happen, and objectively speaking, it probably shouldn't. I just said I wish ...... I guess I can just ignore the bastard.

[Fritz]

Thank you George, that was very kind.

Tex, you go off on the media like you wish things were not true. Yea, sometimes they make things up. This isn't one of them. The Packers admitted they flew to Cali more than once to smooth it over and it didn't work.

To be honest, I would not be shocked if he reported and played this year and said fuck you guys after the season. Rodgers is a real different sort of guy which I picked up on immediately. He's one hell of a QB too.

In that sense it would remind me of Mike Holmgren's last season in Green Bay. While they were chasing a SB berth, rumors were flying every day. It was really distracting and it took away from the enjoyment of watching them try for two in a row.

2 former packers say this isn’t true Lindsley & AJ Hawk.

The only one who matters is Rodgers. If it was not true, he could've said so on Saturday.

well maybe, he doesn't want to be doing this in public. it was a private matter they were working through and then the team leaked it.

[Upnorth]

True not true doesn't matter.

He will not be traded before June 1st.

Until then I don't care lets focus on making the team better. Perhaps look at what fa we can realistically get for 15ish million that won't destroy next year. I do think 2022 fa period has a higher potential to be a buyers market than this year as so much was pushed into the future plus they borrowed from future caps and the tv contract hits in 2023.

The team leaked it on draft day?? Really? When Rodgers has more leverage for a trade than ever before? Logically that doesn't make sense.
A team leak would have come may 31st when then gain a ton of cap space trading him the next day and can generate a bidders war perhaps.

I thought I saw Bak in the box with AR as well. No smiles though

So you claimed this was all a fabrication because Hawk and Lindsley said so...but now you are claiming it might be true, and Rodgers just wants to keep it private. You change your tune every minute.

Bottom line...if Rodgers wants out, he is going to have to be very public about it. The Packers front office seems rather adamant that they expect him to be the QB this year. He's not going to force his way out by being quiet and in the background. That is why I know most of the initial leaks most likely came from his side. Sure, both sides play the game...and the Packers have already started the damage control on their side. The whole Kumerow thing could very well be coming from the Packers side, as I think that puts Rodgers in a less favorable light. From here out, it will get harder and harder to tell truth from BS if there is no resolution.

[Spaulding]

Going left to right, I'm clear on AR/Bak/Hawk but whose to the right of Hawk? Also is that Cobb 2nd from the right? Whose to the far right?

I've never said absolutely that Aaron didn't leak it. I said the team is the most likely based on what I've heard. I also believe Hawk and others that are and were close to Aaron have a better feel for what's real and what isn't than you or me. duh. So of course I'm going to lean heavily on those opinions. If they were saying something else opposite of what I was thinking I'd be listening to that and probably would change my opinion. This isn't that hard.

Teams and leagues have been excellent in the NFL and MLB at getting things out and trying to get fans on their side instead of the players side in the PR battle. They're setting the narrative. these little leaks like wanting Gute fired getting out there, start to turn people against Aaron when the initial perception is "WTF are the packers doing?" People like you eat the franchise's ass like it's your job without allowing for any other possibility.
