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

[sharpe1027]

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.

Then why do they bother having them at all?

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 nothing more than you repeating the media SHIT that you swallow. I repeat, no evidence of that shit. What it is evidence of is media pukes stirring up trouble, and idiots in here buying the crap they spew.

About the OTAs, what APB said.

He didn't show up to OTAs. It's a fact, not media SHIT.

He didn't come out and commit to the Packers. It's a fact, not media SHIT.

He claimed the Packers told him he wasn't wanted back "in so many words," but we know the Packers were publicly saying they wanted him back.

Bottom line, if Rodgers wanted to be a Packer he could have been and he still could be. He simply doesn't want to play for the Packers. That's more of a fact than most of the conjecture you spout about what you think is going on.

Conditioning and playbook installs.

Butte has made more than enough frogskins to hire his own personal trainer, and he has mastered LaFleur’s simple offensive. Playing catch with Watson and Doubs in April ain’t gonna do shit about chemistry.

MLF called him out in public, I'll take his word over yours. Not to say it was the end of the world, but the only reason for him not to show up seemed to be he didn't want to be bothered. Probably needed more time to plan his up coming darkness retreat.

Also, is there any evidence he actually hired a personal trainer?

So, do the bare minimum required ? Sounds like a response you'd get from a fry cook at a burger joint.

Far from right if you're a QB or WR or the leader of the team. Given it's all timing based on routes and QB's throwing to a position, kinda hard to get that timing down when you don't show up. At a minimum, the team captain/leaders should be at camp. Lead by example which is something Brady had down "Pat" - pun intended.

Supposedly the Jets are also working on a possible trade with the Rams for Stafford. At least one NY media puke says he and maybe the Jets would rather have Stafford. He likely would be cheaper anyway, both in the trade and in money. This pleases me. I expect that it is troubling to the haters in here hahahaha. If Gutekunst really is STUPIDLY all in on getting rid of Rodgers, which I hopefully doubt, this could cause him to settle for less in a trade. That, of course, could be the Jets goal too - putting out some fake news about Stafford in order to put pressure on Gutekunst.

I'm still thinking gloom and doom, but from my point of view, and the point of view of anyone who truly wants the Packers to be winners, every day that goes by without a trade thickens the thin thread of hope.

It could be there's some truth, or it could be the Jets are trying to better their trade position. If it's the latter, expect some Packer flunky to "leak" that other teams are sniffing around Rodgers again. Who, I have no idea.

But Tex, surely you don't believe the media pukes, especially one that would dare to say the Jets would rather have Stafford than Rodgers?

According to https://overthecap.com/If the Rams were to trade Stafford prior to June 1, he would count 74 million against their cap. 54 million more than if they keep him. They currently have 8.5 million in cap space. Tex needs to stop listening to those media pukes.

Man if I'm the Jets I'm thinking long and hard about Matt Stafford.

If for no other reason that to drive down the price of Rodgers....Gutes better leak word that some other teams are sniffing around Rodgers, though who that would be, I don't know. Seems like everyone who's looking for a QB has signed one, except for the teams that are going to draft a rook.

Now, will the Jets purported interest in Stafford put Rodgers's nose out of joint?

[Sparkey]

Tex, Hating the media pukes, Except when he likes what he hears, is so Tex.

[run pMc]

Yeah Rams aren't trading Stafford before June 1. A deal with GB for Rodgers should get done well before then.
Interesting to see Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Floyd and Bobby Wagner not on the team and costing them 46.1M in dead cap space. Yikes. That's like 20% of their cap, gone on players that won't even be in the building.
Fielding a team with 80% of the payroll they should is a disadvantage.

Tex, put down the mainstream media and listen to us here. The Rams can’t trade Stafford and Rodgers is going to the Jets!
