OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[run pMc]

Meh. He's a knucklehead and some other's team's problem. It's a distraction for the NYJ they don't need, but it gives Rodgers some of that spotlight he covets. You'd think he has some media competition with Russell Wilson.
One thing you have to wonder about: if he's considering this, how committed is he really to playing QB? Seems like if you are interested in multiple career paths at once, you aren't really committed to any. For a pro football player that's ... not great.

Ultimately he won't be a VP candidate, and RFK is a kooky truther who won't get enough votes anyway.

It does make for a lot of fun on social media on a slow day, though.

I remember when all you fuckers loved Rodgers.

Those days are gone, amigo,

Long gone.

A lot of ingrates in here.

Ah, you just hit on it. IF Rodgers accepts as the VP candidate, he's two-thirds of the way to "MVP"!

Wow that's the most profound thing I've seen for a while hahahaha. Fritz, you're really doing the math.

[MadtownPacker]

Who?

You were the 2nd or 3rd member of the club I started but took you almost a decade to join.

We all thought you were just being an overly-sensitive/dramatic Mexican.

Turns out you were right all along.

One year ago today.

Clear the runway: Aaron Rodgers is preparing to land in New York as the newest Jet.

Green Bay and New York are finalizing a trade to send the four-time NFL MVP to the Jets, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Monday.

The Jets receive Rodgers, the Packers' 2023 first-round pick (No. 15 overall) and a fifth-round pick (No. 170) in exchange for New York's 2023 first-rounder (No. 13), 2023 second-round (No. 42) and sixth-round (No. 207) picks, as well as a conditional 2024 second-round selection that could become a first if Rodgers plays in at least 65 percent of the Jets' snaps this year.

Rodgers is a good QB but a total tool. I think fans loved Rodgers before all the weird stuff came out. Many fans saw Russell Wilson and his nanobubbles and Cam Newton with... whatever, and Michael Vick with his dogs and were willing to overlook Rodgers weirdness.
Being a jerk isn't against the law.

Joe Douglas was recently asked if he'd do the trade again and he said he would 15 out of 10 times. I find that funny; Rodgers has turned that team into a circus and probably has one year left in him. 2023 Jordan Love outplayed 2022 Rodgers and did it with a bunch of rookie receivers (and without Aaron Jones for half the season).

Rodgers was also recently spouting a conspiracy theory long debunked.

I'm becoming more convinced that he's got CTE and is a public hazard if given a platform and a microphone.

I wonder if his believing in these looney ideas are related to his psychedelic usage:

The thing is, all those changes aren’t necessarily all good. Neuroplasticity just means that your brain—and your mind—is put into a state where it is more easily influenced. The effect is a bit like putting a glass vase back into the kiln, which makes it pliable and easy to reshape. Of course you can make the vase more functional and beautiful, but you might also turn it into a mess. Above all else, psychedelics make us exquisitely impressionable, thanks to their speed of action and magnitude of effect, though their ultimate effect is still heavily dependent on context and influence.

I know a lot about psychedilcs, and I wouldn't rule it out. I'm not sure just how forthcoming he's been about his usage patterns, but the fact that he's gone on multiple multi-day ayahuasca retreats, speaks frequently about mysterious friends who are deeply into all sorts of out-there "new age-y"theories and philosophies, and seems to suggest that he uses psilocybin frequently and in fairly large doses all make it sound pretty plausible to me. If he's doing multi-day darkness retreats and multi-day psychedelic experiences, that means he's likely getting way, way, wa-a-a-ay inside his head at times when his mind is pretty malleable, and if (once he gets all the way in there) he's spending a lot of time thinking about the odd theories of his new age friends, there's no telling what the inside of his mind looks like anymore.

[MadtownPacker]

Unsurprisingly people try to blame the drugs. He was always a shit human being. You just didn’t care when he threw a ridiculous amount of TDs and yards.

[texaspackerbacker]

You, MadTown, are almost certainly the ONLY one in here who can really comment on what the guy is like as a person because you almost certainly are the ONLY one in here to have any personal interaction with him.

Everybody else is merely believing shit spewed by God damned media shitheads doing their damnedest to stir up trouble. Myself, I really don't know either, but your last line about not caring as long as he was performing in a GOAT-like way for the Packers, THAT is absolutely my perspective about him. Now that he's somebody else's QB, I really don't give a shit at all.

As for the supposedly weird things he supposedly said, don't discount the distinct possibility that he was just messing with those stupid media pukes.
