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

[RashanGary]

Rodgers is way less liked than Favre was despite being better in some ways on the field. Favre was close to his family and has a wife and kids. He cheated, but whatever. Very few people like Rodgers and it’s gotten worse since he’s let the world get to know him on mccafee. The more people saw, the less they liked.

Oh, I don't know. I think the whole (allegedly) stealing from the poor is worse than anything Rodgers has done. There's also the sexting and other things. If Favre was doing some of the things he did now it'd be all over social media. Rodgers is nutcase and kind of a psycho, but he's not a criminal.

Fritz, I generally agree. It's really about him wanting to be a Packer and being in control, which meant a lot of things: play calls, scheme, how routes were run, extending out to the roster and having "his guys", etc. Some of that you grant him out of respect, but there are limits and when you can't crack 300 yards or win 9 games you don't get as much leeway. Plus, no way Lazard was staying and getting 4/44M. Cobb probably gets a vet min contract with some incentives if he's lucky. Big Dog too.
Mason Crosby is still out there.

When your guys aren't getting signed 2 weeks into FA, they might not be that good anymore.

I would say this an oversimplification of the scenario.

Sure. It's still true.

Rashan, I think the passage of time has dulled your memory. "Brent" was pilloried here and in other forums and in the press for how he handled his so-called "retirement." And I have to say that your saying Favre's cheating on his wife is "whatever" is pretty piss-poor, especially when you try to use the fact that he's married and has kids as support for why he was better liked. Rodgers can be self-absorbed, sure, but he he's hurt fewer people, I would suggest, than Favre did. And any guy cheating on his wife over and over is pretty self-absorbed, too, by the way.

[RashanGary]

Points taken, fritz. Favre was so loved and almost all of that is gone now.


It’s funny to see this news come out that the Packers are asking for the 13th pick, “AND MORE.” The more the drags on, the more Jets fans come unhinged on Twitter. They were saying a 3rd and now they’re cool with a second. It’s good Gute is asking for the world. In time maybe they move to the middle and we get next years first or something.

Man, I have been seeing the tweets make the rounds of Will Levis throwing the ball and looking exactly like ARod with that friggin' release. Kinda wonder if he isn't the kid they should have annointed the next one and did the draft pick-and-wait for the next two years approach this year and won a title or two with that homie wr in Cincy. We'll never know but I bet my bottom dollar Gooter wakes up in a cold sweat at least once a week thinking about what could have been.

I still think Hendon Henderson is going to be the best QB picked this year. If I get a #2 from the JETS I am pulling a Brian Brohm and drafting Hendon Henderson.

I remember feeling good about having two swings at a QB when Brohm was drafted. Glad 12 worked out. And I agree, another swing at a QB only makes me feel better about our odds of hitting.

But isn't this Henderson guy like 32 years old already?

And no more Brian Brohms, please. That guy sucked ass. Funny that Ted could nail it with Arod and bomb it with Brian. Same position, one home run, one strikeout on three pitches.

I admit that ARod most likely gives us the best chance of winning the most games next season. I am looking forward to a season where we actually run MLF's offense.

I remember being excited that we were going to have an innovative head coach (the early years of MM) again when MLF was hired. The last 4 years were garbage. We ran an offense that rightfully fitted our QB which wasn't MLF's offense.

I haven't been happy with MLF's decisions on coaches to hire and fire (or not fire as the case may be). So to me, this will be the first full year with him pulling all the strings.

I think this has been Bretsky's argument, too.

Hendon Hooker is his name, and he is recovering from an ACL injury. If they draft him, he'd be on IR instantly for most of the season. Not a great idea since he can't do much in camp or preseason.
There's also some who claim Tennessee didn't run an actual offense, or more charitably, they ran something like the Art Briles offense that puts up numbers in CFB but has few if any similarities to the pros.

Hooker has a fun name, and is an interesting prospect but there are a lot of flags. IMO they'd be better off picking a different QB or signing some retread for a year as a backup to JL.


Some people love Levis, I haven't really watched him much. I've heard he could be the best of the bunch or he could be Mitch Trubisky. That's a pretty big variance.


As for MLF and his offense, this is his time to show if he's a wizard or not. I'm actually very curious to see how the offense looks and for any schematic or stylistic differences. They've been running a MLF/M3 hybrid, and last year seemed (to me) to lean more RPO and M3 stuff. I don't really remember them running mesh concepts as much as in 2020 or 2021, for example. I don't think JL will win as many games next year as Rodgers would with this team, but I think the difference would be maybe 2 wins tops. I don't think either of them would win 12 games, either way.

Henderson looked hella better in college against much better teams than JLo ever did, though. I just think he has the physical gifts and comes from a good family. Daniel Jeremiah thinks he’s a round one sleeper.

I am on board with the Hooker but wonder about R2.

[Spaulding]

I'd be highly surprised if they took a QB higher than the 5th round this year. All indications are that they are vested in Love and a high QB draft pick sends the wrong message, not to mention the opportunity cost of taking a player that likely won't see the field in 2023 barring injuries. Would rather take a flier on Jaren Hall in the 3rd which would still provide some insurance without creating drama. First and second rounds need to result in landing an impact defensive player (OLB/S) and a TE.
