Vintage Rodgers. So.....not sure if I'm going to re-tell this correctly, but I think that first play to Adams was a play that Rodgers developed in practice last week. He ran it once and it worked in that 2 minute drill. MLF talked to Rodgers on the sideline and said, "Why don't you run that play?" Rodgers did. Rodgers called the next two plays as well. For as much as I'm disgusted by Rodgers off-season, the guy is all-in and still a supreme difference maker for us. I mean no disrespect here, but if Love plays that game, we lose by two scores. That's why #12 is the best thing for us right now. Very well could be the best thing for us for as long as he wants to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just happen to scream the loudest It's not like he retired, non-retired, retrired,cried at a national press conference covering his retirement, sent dik pics to a young woman his daughter's age, retired again just so he could play with a hated rival on a personal vendetta against the Packers. I mean, most forgave that, but Rodgers is insufferable!!! (sarcasm) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers preaches acquiring vet talent and the only way to get it is spend more $, yet he takes up a high % of the cap. He's a smart guy and knows how it works.

Theyre pissed off because his harder work is making them look bad. People who work harder and do a better job get paid more. People who get higher up the latter and are force multipliers have more influence in how things are run, and that is 1000 percent the real facts of life and how smart business is run.

Nice theory from a bygone era. In your scenario the 'new guy' is probably the CEO's son or nephew. Every 're-org' I've seen gives more pay and less accountability for upper management. The 'Creed of Greed' is the real fact of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't it go exactly the same the other way. Last summer, yourself and others spent an inordinate amount of time picking Rodgers apart and accusing anyone claiming Rodgers wasn't finished as naive or delusional. Its a bit hypocritical to complain about the media going OTT about anything positive when you did the same as reverse. Essentially people had to pick a side. Your attack on Rodgers and his fans last summer was probably the most sustained, relentless and aggressive as I've ever seen on a NFL forum. Ultimately it led to over-defence of Rodgers from people who would have been on the fence otherwise but felt compelled to defend him in response. Essentially, its best to just enjoy the football and not worry too much about the other stuff - you can analyse it but no point getting personal which it clearly did with you and Rodgers last year. When I was younger in the UK I got blinkered about soccer players I hated (for soccer reasons) and did the same looking for every possible reason to criticise them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that Rodgers knows you can fudge the cap with void years, backload contracts and kick cap down the road. He wants to win now. He's also fiercely loyal to players he has played with and trusts - clearly values locker room spirit. All of this is good. Its up to the GM to have balance. Clearly Rodgers should have been listened to more and part of the process but he isn't GM and will have different priorities to the GM and the reality is the kind of deals he wanted (like Cobb) weren't good for the Packers so that deal shouldn't have been signed.
