WHAT IS GUTEBAG'S BIGGEST MISTAKE/S SO FAR AS OUR GM ????

[RashanGary]

If Rodgers couldn't handle that a rookie QB, unproven but with some upside, came into camp and that caused all this...where to begin?

Yep

[NewsBruin]

An undervalued first-round pick drives the gripey veteran to New Jersey...man, we need better writers.

[texaspackerbacker]

You’re not one of the good, normals Tex. You’re an odd ball with odd ball ideas!

Where does that come from? Have you checked comments in other forums or Facebook or Yahoo articles or just talked to people in general about Rodgers and if he is gone? It's a lot more like 50/50 or more outside of this forum - where inexplicably, the haters, etc. are close to 100%.

[Deputy Nutz]

I try to take things for face value, so when Rodgers says he intends to play for the Jets in 2023 I believe that is his intent.


Also when it come to Rodgers, I can't put it all on the shoulders of Gute. I think a lot of this falls on Murphy and Russ Ball. You know, the triangle of sadness.

Maybe in TX, not in WI
I've heard it's more like 70/30 in favor of a Rodgers trade. Murphy was getting a lot of "when?" questions he had to shut down on his Tailgate Tour; there wasn't much trade-hate out there.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm tempted to just settle for your 70/30 figure, because it's a lot worse for the side of Good in here hahahaha.

I'm not talking about TX. The only Packer fans I know here are relatives, and of course, they are pro-keeping Rodgers. I'm talking primarily about the "groups" in Facebook that pop up in my FB - "Diehard Packer Fan Group", "Green Bay Packer Fans", "Wisconsin Sports 24/7 Group", etc.

All those groups sound horrible.

And of coure the very existence of said "triangle of sadness" (great description) falls on Murphy.

[texaspackerbacker]

All those groups sound horrible.

Most of their articles are in fact pretty horrible - not much different from any other media crap. I was referring, however, to the comments, likes, etc. from people reading them.

These as well as the also horrible articles in Yahoo and other venues - the comments by people and thumbs up or down, etc.

All of those comments and reactions by regular people have been pretty well mixed, a very decent percentage pro-keeping Rodgers along with, of course, ignorant shitheads who want him gone with the subsequent long period of mediocrity or worse.

There was a online poll I saw from a Wisconsin television station about Rodgers saying he intends to play for the Jets with about 1000 responses. It was something like 60% just glad it was over, 35% very happy and 5% upset.

Ding dong is the 5%.......

[call_me_ishmael]

Y'all know JLove is going to cost basically as much or maybe even more than Rodgers next year if he is pretty good, right? To me the cost is irrelevant to the discussion. He got a market rate contract. I don't think the contract was foolish. The Packers wanted ARod to sign an extension - what other number would a back-to-back MVP sign for? That's what QBs cost these days.

We can only hope we're lucky enough to have a third great QB in a row.

Love will make nothing close to what ARod will make unless we go 10-7 and make a deep playoff run. He will make good money but not ARod and Mahommes money.

I don't think the overall money was the problem but how it was structured.

[call_me_ishmael]

I don't even think he needs to be great. ARod is already the third highest paid QB behind Hurts and Wilson, arguably Watson too. I suspect that Kirk Cousins (leverage), Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Justin Herbert will exceed or be in the same ball park as Rodgers in annual compensation rate in the next 12 months. Looking at 18 months, I suspect Love, if he doesn't totally bust, will be right there, along with Trevor Lawrence, Tua, etc.

So, it's not like he's crazy out of whack. The *structure* of the Rodgers contract is more than outlier than the money, and that is 100% due to covid and the Packers cap situation than leverage or maliciousness on ARods part, etc.
