Who Will Aaron Rodgers Play For In 2023 (Or Will He Play)?

[sharpe1027]

Love: I'm saying 10-7 is about the absolute best that we could ever expect. Rodgers: the 8-9 miserable year this past season, of course, was tainted with injuries to Rodgers and the WRs, etc. Of course that ain't good enough. It shouldn't have happened, and it almost certainly wouldn't happen next year with Rodgers. And ya'all know how much I care about Super Bowls.

Bullshit. They can win more than 10, and it's not even that difficult to imagine it happening in the next 2-3 years. It doesn't take a hall-of-fame QB to win more than 10. Plenty of examples of average QB play getting better records.

I'll concede it might not happen, but 10 wins is far, far, far from the "absolute best" we can expect.

Rodgers said the Packers told him “in so many words” that they were moving on. He added that they’ve been more direct with other players from what he was told.

What does “in so many words” mean? They probably told him they might not be able to out bid the competition for his guys services. That might have been enough for Rodgers to feel like he was disrespected.

The Packers are ready to move on though. They would have caved to all Rodgers demands like they did last year if they weren’t ready. Same way they stopped dealing with Favre when they didn’t need him anymore.


I haven’t seen a lot to get excited about with Love. But the Packers choosing to move on is a good sign. They must feel good about 10

[RashanGary]

I take it back. Love has good size, a big arm and average to above average athleticism for the position. So he has the tools. There is a little to be excited about.

[sharpe1027]

Saying that neither Love nor any other QB short of maybe Mahomes or L. Jackson, maybe throw in 1 or 2 others on the top level would come close to Aaron Rodgers going forward, THAT's not logical to you?

If that's all you said, nobody would disagree.

[RashanGary]

If we luck into a 3rd straight 15 year HOF QB, listening the Bears fans 15 years from now (literally 45 straight years of getting their asses kicked) will be so great!

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, that 3rd straight 15 year HOF QB would be great, but don't hold your breath for it.

Madtown, hell yeah, they didn't win much if at all after those great seasons. If playoff wins and trophies is what floats your boat, then I suppose 15-1 or 14-3 or 13-4, etc. with an early out in the playoffs were not successful seasons. That ain't me, though. I'll take the bunch of wins, and fuck the damn playoffs. Anyway, for the foreseeable future, we ain't gonna have the luxury of that choice, not even close. Fuck anybody that wants this stupid "move on" crap.

Fuck Rodgers then. All he ever had to do was say he's committed to the Packers this would have been over long ago. He seems to be perfectly happy moving on, so I'll not cry and bitch about it like a little girl.

He intends to play for the Jets. I am a Packer fan first.

[RashanGary]

The Wolf tree of GMs has been pretty good at finding HOF QBs.

Wolf got Favre
Thompson got Rodgers
Schneider got Wilson
Dorsey got Mahommes

Maybe Gute got one too. Let’s hope!

[George Cumby]

Fuck Rodgers then.

If indeed he ends up with the Jets, then hell yeah (I'm record saying I hope he breaks his knees in that case). I have seen no evidence, though, that Rodgers wasn't fully committed to the Packers his whole career including last season, right up until this post season when apparently - and inexplicably and STUPIDLY - the Packer brass decided de-commit to Rodgers. The contract - which I refer to as glorious - demonstrated IMO a commitment both from the team to Rodgers and Rodgers to the team. It's a longshot at this point, but that contract is still in effect. Furthermore, if the trade falls through, Gutekunst is on record saying he'd welcome back Rodgers as Packer QB. Therein lies the sliver of hope that all is not yet lost.

[sharpe1027]

You seen no evidence? Tex you're one deluded bastard.

[Sparkey]

The 150 million was a commitment from the team. Rodgers working with the young wr's during ota's would have been Rodgers commitment to the team.

One happened, the other did not.

THIS is what GUTE expected IMO

I agree. Gute gave Rodgers exactly what he wanted, and Rodgers rewarded him by not showing up until he absolutely had to. Gute learned the hard way that Rodgers never forgets a perceived slight. But he probably should have known.

To paraphrase the great Allen Iverson, OTA’s? Are you fucking kidding me, OTA’s? Not game week practice, not training camp; hell, not even mini-camp. But fucking OTA’s, where the CBA forbids contact and players jog through plays/routes slower than Tony O’Day running the 40.

The pups were rooks. Naturally, vet QBs and rook WRs have less chemistry than O’Day has with Black folks. Ain’t matter whether or not Butte’s at the meaningless OTAs. Remember when Adams was a pub rook? Butte was at the OTA’s every fucking day. Both players still lacked chemistry came the regular season that season.

Chemistry is mushed via prolonged combat in the battlefield on any given Sunday, Monday or Thursday - not the fucking OTAs.
