I haven't seen too many idiotic articles about the Packers...but the amount I have seen about the Bears and how they won the draft, will go 12-5, 13-4, win the NFC North are crazy.If you can accept losing, you can't win. - Vince LombardiComment

Welcome. I actually think there’s starting to be a resurgence of message boards because Twitter and other social media is so polluted with algorithms that bring up the most negative stuff. Where here we have madtown Hitler whipping us when we drag negative shit into the football forum.Originally posted by The Weasel View PostFormerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Another stupid packer related article. Bak will never take another snap. I said so last year. I stand by it. Its simple. He isn't signing for less than 15 million and no one in their right mind will give him 15 million. Also I'm not sure he even wants to put more stress on that knee for any price given he is already rich beyond anything he can spend.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

My feed on my work machine, using Microsoft Edge or whatever the fuck they call it now, is the absolute worst.Originally posted by bobblehead View Post
I open a tab and it's a never-ending scroll of made up or clickbait articles on subjects the algorithms have concluded I am interested in. Whether it's world events, the Packers, scout rifles or hiking, it's all a load of dreck, to put it in polite terms.
Out of curiosity, I kept scrolling the other day. It just keeps going and going and going.
It's just gross.Comment

About former Packer Alan Lazard, and the Jets' predicament with his contract:
To "follow" his qb to NY? Really?The former undrafted free agent out of Iowa State signed a big four-year, $44M contract to follow his quarterback from Green Bay to New York last year.
Lazard signed with the Jets on March 17.
Rodgers was traded to the Jets on April 26.Comment

I think by March 17 it was pretty clear where Rodgers was going. Rodgers announced on March 15 his desire was to play for the Jets.Originally posted by Patler View PostI can't run no more

You still can't follow someone who hasn't gone yet. Besides, Rodgers' desire was only a factor. GB and another trade partner could have convinced him to go somewhere else, or GB could have just kept him if the Jets offered too little.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostComment

It was clear where Rodgers was going. The Jets were the only team interested, which is why there was all the debate over who had "leverage". On paper, did Lazard follow Rodgers to the Jets? No. But in his mind, and that of the Jets, he certainly did.March 15, 2023: The Rodgers era in Green Bay unofficially ends after he reveals his desire to go to the Jets, telling McAfee: "I made it clear my intention was to play and to play for the Jets, and I haven't been holding anything up." Rodgers says the holdup in the deal is the Packers' trade demands. A Packers team source says negotiations are "ongoing" but that the team will trade him.I can't run no more

Do you believe Lazard ends up taking all that money from the Jets irrespective of Rodgers direct involvement brokering the deal?Originally posted by Patler View Post
Rodgers hadn't yet technically been traded to the Jets in much the same way a lead of 40-3 in the 4th quarter isn't yet technically a win. In my opinion.Comment

Technically correct. Lazard doesn't get offered that contract if the Jets aren't working hard to get Rodgers and pretty sure they can get it done. That being said, I am pretty confident that was the best deal Lizard had and was ever going to get. So Lazard was probably taking the deal on it's face value and not just following Rodgers.Originally posted by Patler View Post
It's really semantics of what you consider following. I don't think there's a disagreement as to what really happened. The article was technically false, but taken in context, it also probably wasn't completely irrelevant to the point being made.Comment
-
I believed at the time that Lazard's contract was just further enticement to or comfort for Rodgers. I mean $44M for 4 to Lazard????
I wonder what his second-best offer was?Comment

He had a sweet offer from footlocker as a shoe salesman - profit sharing, bonuses for meeting sales quotas, even free shoes every three months.Originally posted by Patler View Post"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
