OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Fritz]

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.

Yeah, but now he's a WEIRD shit human being.

[Fosco33]

You guys sure talk a lot about someone you don’t like.

He’ll still go down as one of the best to play the game and arguably the best Packer.

And there are a fair amount of people who don’t think he’s crazy or shitty.

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.

Oh run, do you really have to inject politics into this thread? Lets bring this one to FYI so I can thump it like it deserves. In the meantime, please don't tempt me to get banned on the morning of the draft.

Except you are blaming the drugs for him saying something he never actually said. A headline isn't a quote, and mad, you of all people should realize this belongs in FYI.

Agreed. I think he is different for sure. I think he has a chip on his shoulder. I think he pushes the edge on some things and then a quote gets taken out of context. Most of all I think some people never learn about injecting politics into the football forum and I don't get to respond properly because I'll get banned.

Rodgers was a great QB for us, but now he is a Jet. Bye Felicia, was nice watching you but you gone.

yeah fair point. lol my bad.

Agree with this too.

I enjoyed watching Rodgers and he had some otherwordly seasons, but those days are long gone.
Favre was incredible for us and he's basically unmentionable to some now because of off-field stuff.

Love the player, strongly dislike the person's words/actions off the field. As a fan of the team, that's ok. Not a Packer now, he can take his crazy to the Jets.

[Fosco33]

So maybe let’s not idolize athletes at all… and learn that Love might be great on the field and a dick elsewhere too…

agree, and I don't. The NFL is full of bad people, and that isn't unique to the NFL.

I was getting a reply ready for him but since he is not a repeat offender like Tex or you he got off light. I do appreciate you being my CI, been looking for one.

Whoa! Just stop with the crazy talk.

I remember when all you fuckers loved Rodgers.

I remember when he was somewhat loveable.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I remember when he was somewhat loveable.

Not a lot of jocks will push someone’s grandma across an airport, a la Aaron Jones. In fact, a lot of jocks are pompous motherfuckers. Hell, Bill Schroeder once refused to sign an autograph for teenage me unless I shell out $20 for a Packers swimming suit calendar. The Packers lack female cheerleaders. Told Schroeder I ain’t gay and have no use for a calendar full of half-naked men.

Much like ole Fosco, I have grown fond of Butte.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's a story he still tells, 30 years later.

There was a clip of him throwing behind garret wilson a few days ago and packer fans had to chime in that it was behind him. But the efficiency that he has when he uncorks the ball was a thing of beauty. Count me out of the hater list. Plus I love acid and psychadelics and odd ball thinking so I like the off field stuff too.

Damn I was hoping the Jest would take JJ McCarthy.

Or at least a defensive player.
