OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[run pMc]

All I'll say is Rodges was one of the all-time greats for GB.
Owned the Bears, which was especially great.

He'll be in the ring as a PHOF and in Canton, first-ballot.

Beyond that, don't care as long as he's not a criminal.

[Vincenzo]

So we are guaranteed a 1st rounder if AR does his 65% snaps with Jets.
What if he’s hurt week one at Jets vs Buffalo and is done for the season, what happens to our “guaranteed 1st rounder,” then????

Then it's a 2nd rounder.

Then it's a 2nd rounder.

Yep, and the argument about if we were better in 2023 with Rodgers vs. Love becomes pretty evident. You'd be starting Love with more draft capital and cap space.
I think it's highly likely Rodgers hits the 65% mark, but I also think he's likely to get there pretty banged up. I'd take GB's OL over NYJ's any day.
Aging players don't get more injury resistant, especially as they approach 40.

Not to mention all the games that will be played on turf. Only Miami has a grass field within their division.

Jets - 13 of 17 games on fake turf
Packers - 4 of 17 games on fake turf

Jets start off with a national game. If Rodgers plays as bad in game 1 as he has the last two years, things might turn ugly in the big apple.

I think it's a strong bet he gets the 65% too. It would be funny if he missed a game or two and was close at the end of the season, and the Jets were out of the race, if they sat him to keep him under 65%. A second rounder is a fairly decent consolation anyway.

I think Rodgers has an excellent year for the Jets, same as he woulda had for the Packers. I don't think he gets pressure by the pass rush more than he did/woulda for the Packers - as I always said and people, of course, disagreed with, the Packer O Line is overrated BECAUSE of Rodgers. I also don't think the turf thing will do him much harm - QBs don't take off and run that much in most cases. They will have a decent record but not make it to the Super Bowl.

I expect Rodgers to finish his career with the Jets in maybe 3-5 years and go into the HOF as a Packer. just as Favre did.

The Packers should trade Bakhtiari to the Jest for next year's second, and as a condition of that trade, automatically bump up the Roders pick to a first rounder with no strings attached.

Then you'd have the Jest first- and second-rounders next year. Cool!

Or, to protect the pick for Rodgers as a likely first-rounder, you could also trade Bakh to the Jets for their 2025 second rounder.

[run pMc]

Depending on the season, Bakhtiari's health and the depth behind him I could see a trade at the deadline somewhere. They've kicked so much of his contract down the road that a team that takes him would be on the hook for something like 2 years/ 22M. That's a steal if you are getting even 85% of pre-injury Bakhtiari. Quality LT's are expensive. I don't think Gute will actively shop him unless ol' Dave continues to go on shows like Bussin with the Boys and give interviews like that. With Njiman on a one year deal I don't think they'd give Bakh away, and they want to have a solid OL in JLove's first year starting.

[Fritz]

Which means also they'll be looking to see how Rasheed Wallace is developing. If they think he's the answer at LT, they could wait to closer to the trade deadline, hope Bakh stays heatlhy, then ship him somewhere for a relatively high draft pick - could they get a third?

I thought Rasheed Wallace moved really well for a big, long guy. He has a shot. We haven’t had a 7th round steal in a long time. Don’t remember the last one.
