RECAP of getting AROD back--My theory as well as some of those who cover the Packers

Rodgers- Not coming unless you show me some luv and bring back Randall
Gutebag---Ignores the request....piss off
Matty Ice the Coach to Gute- For gods sake give up a late round pick for Cobb- Continues to use Media to praise how wonderful AROD is time after time...praying silently he comes back
Gutebag- Ignores request further
MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA--Gootie Schmmootie.....just give up a late round pick to get Cobb back so AROD shows up
Gutebag- Pouts but finally gives in

FOLLOW UP PRESSER--Questions Asked

Gutebag- Instead of saying GB is always looking to improve and Randall Cobb gives that opporunity.....in a pouting manner basically says he didn't want Randall Cobb and that was forced by Rodgers

A bit dramatic but yeah he was super douchey in that press conference. Gooter has gotta go. Doesn’t look fit for the job.

Thats a nice theory, but you know what I saw. Rodgers play prissy all offseason then report on time. Ok, he managed to score an overpaid WR past his prime, but big deal. Wait until this next offseason when Rodgers tears up the contract and signs a fresh 4 year deal.

Back to back NFCC and poised for a SB run again...yea, he sucks.

[Bretsky]

Gutebag has been a good GM overall but he has flaws as well. And don't let him have a microphone to speak.

I say again, I HOPE you're right.

He inherited a HOF QB and picked the right coach. I guess credit where credit is due - he did sign 4 key free agents that have all exceeded their contracts and become key contributors. How rare is that? Extremely.

I think that will happen too. And we wasted a key asset in the quest for a super bowl. So f'n dumb.

• Jordan Love, the pivot-point first-round pick of all the discontent, hasn’t wowed the team. Good days, shaky days. But I’d be cautious about saying the 26th pick in the 2020 draft is in trouble. Rodgers, the 24th pick in 2005, had more than his share of lousy moments in years one and two behind Brett Favre. Love’s decision-making must improve. But some quarterbacks take more nurturing than others. One of the biggest problems in football today is impatience with young quarterbacks, and I got the sense the Packers think Love’s not ready for prime time yet.

I asked about GM Brian Gutekunst and president Mark Murphy, and whether he’d be able to have civil or good relationships with them after the fluff of this offseason.

“I mean, the people I have to deal with every day is the staff, my teammates,” Rodgers said. “I have a really good relationship with the staff. Once you get into the football season, those are the most important relationships because you’re talking with them every day. I’ve always had a good relationship with Matt when it comes to play-calling and installs and stuff I like. Then obviously having [offensive coordinator Nathaniel] Hackett, who’s a close friend, in the room, and [passing game coordinator Luke] Getsy. Those are the most important relationships.

“The other one [Gutekunst], you know, I leave space and optimism for growth and change. But, you know, at this point, my focus is just on the football staff and making sure those conversations and communication are right going into the season.”

Sometimes Rodgers is damn petty.

I was down on Gutes early if anyone recalls. But I have to give credit where its due. You know what I call guys who show an ability to achieve things that others RARELY do.... I call them a success.

"he did sign 4 key free agents that have all exceeded their contracts and become key contributors. How rare is that? Extremely." CMI's wisdom on the topic of Gutekunst. Yes, it's pretty damn rare. How about we ask why? I'd suggest that when you have the GOAT QB, he elevates everybody, every aspect of the team including the D. Those four free agents, like the team in general, seemed a lot better than they were because of Rodgers. And we still have whiners and idiots in here not appreciating the guy. Last Saturday night might be shades of things to come if Rodgers doesn't stay around for the foreseeable future.

Thus, if Gutekunst shortens Rodgers' tenure with the Packers, the negativity of that greatly outweighs any other good he may have done.

Meh, nobody will remember the first 3-4 years if Love sucks. Love is what will define him. Love is all he needs.

I mean, 3 are defenders so I don't really think that holds a lot of water. The argument that they had the money to spend on D because Rodgers can largely can an O himself is something I would agree with.

Yeah fair enough. Man, I am struggling big time to come up with a better FA class ever. Like... the overwhelming majority of free agents fade out after a year or two. All 4 are going to complete their entire contract. Not only that, but on a cap crunched team with top notch talent. That says a lot about the type of people and players they are. I think 3 will get second contracts too.

Arguably, eating up time of possession as well as getting a nice lead and limiting their option to run the ball is a big help to the D.
