OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[MadtownPacker]

This is the one time I am rooting for the vikings….

Rastak will probably throw up when it happens!

I HATE the idea of Rodgers going to the Vikings. Mark my words, he's gonna have a decent season by the standard of just about any other QB, maybe not up to his own career standards, but damn good anyway. For that matter, by any regular QB standards, he was a little above average even last year, just not up to his own expected level.

They're saying he "ghosted" the Steelers and Giants? I think he's holding out for some huge amount of money with the idea that if nobody wants to pay it, he'll just retire.

I highly doubt it will happen. If it does, I'd be extremely disappointed in the front office.

At this point of his life, frogskins ain’t an issue, homie. Butte has more frogskins in the bank than Fosco, Bobble and O’Day have combined.

Butte wants to be more than a 1 hit wonder. Between the Gee Men, Lumpensteelers and Queens, Queens appear to be the more talented roster. It’s all about the ring at this stage of his career.

Go, Butte, and be a Queen!

Some would say he already acts like one.

So the same as every year pretty much.

I agree with your other posts where you’re said he played decent last year. I thought he did too and you know I don’t like his ass. I just wanna see the shit show for the fun. What’s the worst that can happen, another NFCC loss?

Diva man a diva.

I think O'Connell could get something out of Rodgers, with Jonesy at RB and Jefferson, Addison and Hockenson at skill positions... as someone said, at least for the first 10 weeks. Older players get hurt, as do those with injury histories. The Vikings have had to sign a lot of players because their drafts have not been great, and they also have given away a lot of their picks this year. They lost a lot of starter snaps this offseason, including Darnold's. I wonder how long it will take for all those players to get on the same page, and an old, my-way-or-highway QB like Rodgers might make that worse.

I have to think the talks with Rodgers says something about JJ McCarthy as well.

if MIN goes that route, I don't see it ending well for them.

PIT isn't a bad landing place IMO. They have a young good OL and Metcalf, Pickens and Friermuth to throw to, plus a good defense and smart coach.

I'd avoid NYG, especially if legacy is as important to Rodgers as people say.

The folks saying Butte is toasted obviously ain’t ran good at the poker tables to shell out frogskins for the Sunday Ticket. Watching the Jesters from afar on the YouTube app, I saw a QB, while his overall kung fu ain’t what it was in his heyday, who could still slang a rock over them mountains. Butte’s struggles had more to do with that subpar Jesters OL than the chemical phenomenon that causes bread to “toast.”

Queens OL appears to be prodigious. If the bum Darnold could do what he did last season with that offense, imagine what Butte could do. The wrath of Butte in the Purple and Blonde would be as remarkable as that of Daenerys Targaryen at King’s Landing.

And life returns to being a beautiful mystery.

This is the best news I've heard - if true. Rodgers is gonna be damn good wherever he goes, barring serious injury, and I prefer that it not be our most hated enemy the God damned Vikings.

Rodgers hasn't been "damn good" for a number of years and isn't likely to ever be so again. He maybe can be productive on a team with a strong running game, but he his game no longer has any depth to it. His AY/A in each of 2022 and 2024 were the lowest of his career since he became a starter and were a yard and a half less than his career average.

Would hope AR just retires. Seeing him as a steeler would be mildly entertaining as they are my ‘afc’ team that’s least hated.

By the standard of any QB other than himself, Rodgers was good last season. Brady was still good to an age several years more than Rodgers. It's more than likely that Rodgers' expected level would be what Brady was at the same age or better. Why wouldn't that be the expectation?
