NEXT YEAR AARON RODGERS WILL BE

[Joemailman]

I’d really like to see the All-22. It’s easy to take a screenshot and say these peeps are open. Also it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re were. But I have no idea what the coverage looked like for much of the game or where the pressure was, etc.

On the last pass to Adams, it was obvious before he threw the ball that there was double coverage on Adams. As he is going into his throwing motion, Lazard is not yet open. But Rodgers is under no pressure so he doesn't need to throw it that early. If he waits a second, or less, he sees Lazard breaking open.

Not all-22, but this article has full clips and coverage discussions.

Totally I mean in the general sense. It’s pretty clear throwing to Adam was a disaster and bad decision in real time on TV of this play.

Good Point. Exactly what I said about his arm moving forward before Lazard got open, but arguably he could and should have waited a bit longer. That's hindsight, though, and you don't get but a split second to decide that. Rodgers fucked up - in hindsight. But the Packers were something like 39-9 in the regular season when he played. People can whine all they want about no Super Bowl, but I'm fairly satisfied overall. Pretty much any other team's fans didn't have it as good as we had it. I want the next 3 or 5 or 7 or 8 years to be that good.

Andrew Brandt with a pretty well reasoned argument for why he feels Rodgers will not be back with Packers.

The latest Vegas numbers had Denver and now Tampa as slightly higher odds for Rodgers than the Packers.

Multiple interested teams always helps..

I don't really think he said much of anything beyond "it just feels like it's time". In my opinion, putting aside the ticking time bomb of the cap, it really comes down to if they think they can compete again running back the same squad minus a few pieces (and plus a few pieces from the draft) with Aaron, and then also what they think of JLo. My hunch is they have a strong inkling of what they think JLo's trajectory looks like.

The reason it wasn't a total PR debacle for years to come with moving on from Brett was because Aaron was really good. If they were going 4-12 for three years instead of winning a super bowl while Favre was crushing it in Minnesota, it would have been bad news for the team (not that bad news and PR will have any impact on the financials, etc).

I still don't really know what I think. My gut feeling is a trade is coming or he's back, I just don't see him as likely to retire and play arguably third fiddle to Brady and Roethlisberger at his HOF someday. Beyond that, 30-40M is a lot of cashola for the future Rodgers'.

I agree with CMI that this article is more about Brandt's gut feelings and then him trying to find a rational argument to support his 'sense'. Which I don't have a problem with. We say 'trust your gut' for a reason.

Again, Denver gets the nod as the odds-on favorite as trade partner.

Brandt seems to be all over the map on this. He earlier had a tweet about how he was reasonably certain the Packers could make the cap situation work out fine with Rodgers staying and most of the rest of them too. As annoying as it is to read an article like that, it's just one man's opinion - a gut feeling - more credible than media pukes but not really something to panic over.

If humans operate primarily out of short-term self-interest, then odds are that Rodgers will be back in Green Bay next year, as will Adams, and the future be damned.

Some people would be okay with that. I would not. Getting the band back together - again - will cost heavily against the future, and it, uh, didn't actually work out this season. And Rodgers is not going to get any better as a QB.

Personally I would prefer a 8-9 season this year to a 3-14 season missing 1/2 our d in 2 years. We gotta have room to resign jaire and dillion and Jenkins. Next year is Meyers Gary and perhaps love if he isn't garbage. Keeping the band together 1 more year means we lose the smiths and most of those listed above. I think Adams is more replaceable in our team than any of those listed above.
Losing rodgers will hurt but keeping him may hurt more.
We draft a qb this year if we can and a te and wr.

The more I look at it the more I think we have to trade him.

I wouldn't draft a QB this year. If we're not keeping Rodgers, we first need to see what we actually have with the Love Machine running the O with the game plan designed around him for at least 1 season before moving on.

If we lose Aaron - I’d love to get a quality vet - either to compete or be available.

Agree on this years qb class
