Interesting read.....

Very interesting. It's different from what I read, but this author gives different scenarios based on different actions by the Packers and Rodgers.

Tell Rodgers things aren’t going as planned, and we plan to start a rebuild.

Convince him to opt for retirement and start shedding big contracts through trades or cuts.

Brady will probably retire this year. If Rodgers retires in the same year, they go into the HOF the same year. Rodgers gets overshadowed. That ain't happening.

[King Friday]

I think Rodgers planned to play at least 2 more years all along. He certainly won’t retire the same year as Brady. My guess is that he could be persuaded to leave via trade, but I’m not sure anyone would be interested at this point considering the price. I think the Packers are stuck with him for this year and next. This is why you don’t sign old guys to contacts where they are near the highest paid at their position. It rarely works out.

Unless his year continues to go completely down the tubes I would agree. He'd have to finish so badly to have ego kick in and decide "I gotta go". I think he'll stay next year and who knows, he may turn it around.

nice to see the numbers finally explained

i'm guessing he get traded next year and the cap hit gets split

but i think its time for all of us to start lowering our expectation for trade compensation though. we might be lucky to get the 2nd rounder we got for bert

A really good option would be get the OL straight and then have WRb that stop dropping passes. Thats would be a great option.

I guess it takes a game or three like this to really see who the ingrates and idiots are. I see 4 or 5 posters in here who aren't - along with that many or more who really don't deserve to call themselves Packer fans.

Bad as the situation seems - and is, it can turn around damn quick. A bunch of other top teams are at least as bad off as we are, not to mention a bunch of others who are chronic losers.

As for Rodgers, yeah, he hasn't been himself. However, as I and several others have pointed out, he's not really the cause of the mess, as least not as much as several other factors, some of which should be fairly easily fixable, some not so much. I've read the details of his contract and amazingly low cap number this year and next, etc. going forward, as well as the huge amount of dead money if he was gone. That exact same info can be interpreted as a downright genius design if contract by those intelligently seeing Rodgers as still the best in the league, and as an incredibly bad situation by the haters - who are currently basking in their own God damned negativity right now (fuck anybody with that rotten mindset). I obviously choose the former over the latter.

Not a hater Tex. Green Bay has been unbelievably fortunate to have two HOF qb's back to back. Just not wearing the rose colored glasses anymore.

AARON RODGERS COMMENTED that he needs to extend more plays. Matty Floor didn't like that comment at all.

ANYTIME a play has to go off schedule, that is a "crappy play call".


CONFLICT ?

I'd be more concerned if there wasn't some conflict.

[bobblehead]

To tex, Rodgers bears some responsibility. He is missing his deep shots. Then the few he has hit on get dropped or ruled not a TD somehow. Too many P choices in the RPO.

To the conflict. I didn't read it as Rodgers being critical of anyone but himself. He said he needs to extend plays, not change them at the line. Basically he admits he isn't as spry as he once was, but still needs to roll away from pressure.

[ThunderDan]

Another "great" quote from Rogers.

When discussing what makes the Bills such a dangerous team, Rodgers may have thrown some shade at his own squad.

"Great quarterback. Great defense. Very well coached," Rodgers said. "A lot of weapons, Jake Kumerow. A lot going for them."

I am just done with thinking that he is any type of leader in the clubhouse. He is acting like a spoil brat who doesn't get his way. We really should have traded him to Denver last year and taken what Denver gave to Seatle.
