SalvadorsDeli Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I didn't even really have it on my radar that Rodgers might be looking to leave but his comments today were genuinely weird and I don't think can just be chalked up to the emotions of the moment. He's a pretty savvy guy and understood full well what the implications were of what he was saying. Retirement would be a huge surprise coming off an MVP year that comes up short in the playoffs so the only alternative is a trade, which feels even harder to believe. My guess is that he's going to make noise mostly as a way of trying to exert a little mores pressure on the Packers FO in terms of how they approach the offseason. I feel like Brady leaving NE for elite weapons in Tampa and then immediately winning is likely going to influence his thinking and he's going to try and create a similar scenario for himself, whether in GB or elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJaxxenGuy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It must be frustrating to get to the NFC championship back to back and instead of supplying you with new weapons to get over the hump, the first round pick who is supposed to replace you is sitting on the sideline in a hoodie and sweats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I saw on Twitter the Packers were dealing with a passive aggressive QB possibly hinting at moving on and had to look what year it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they acquiesce he’ll be back. If they don’t... It could end up being a messy breakup. They don't have much money. They are 20 million over the cap and they have a bunch of big contracts. Aaron Jones and Corey Linsley are probably gone Tonyan is an RFA. I could see someone like NE stealing him if they try to go cheap.

Montana when they traded for Young: "Find yourself a comfortable seat, young buck." (I never heard any quotes on this from Joe to paraphrase but I am guessing) McNabb when Kolb was drafted "Waaaah! My feelings!" Don't be like McNabb. Montana never had any animosity towards Young. If anything, he, and Young shared mutual frustration towards Bill for putting them both in an awkward situation.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Well that was awkward. Never heard him sound so depressed. Maybe because it was a home game. Edited January 25, 2021 by TecmoSuperJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been that way after a loss. He was that way in 2013 after the loss to the Bengals, after the loss in the NFCC game in 2014, after the loss to the Bears in 2015, after the loss in NFCC to the Niners last year. https://www.nfl.com/news/aaron-rodgers-mike-mccarthy-have-heated-exchange-0ap2000000248946 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/14255193/aaron-rodgers-green-bay-packers-criticizes-team-preparation-denies-players-only-meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Rodgers would be a fool to want to move on after a year where he wins unanimous MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams will be over. New Orleans is 92 million over (Brees cuts out like 25 of that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asciimo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 at some point you have to think that maybe Rodgers is why don't go to the SB but he puts up too good of regular season numbers for people to think that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 He isn’t done in GB. Unless he feels like ok they traded up to get my replacement in Love and then in the biggest moment in the biggest game this season they didn’t trust me to go get that td instead they kicked the FG. So maybe he could want out due to ego thinking the organization isn’t treating him right. I keep saying how hard it is to win a Superbowl. Brees is going to retire with only one despite playing on some great Saints teams that had HFA. Peyton only won 2 and his Colts teams were historically great in the regular season and even the Broncos teams were really darn impressive. I just think ARod shouldn’t want to go anywhere. He just need to hope that Packers can get him another receiver that can take the pressure off Adams and then get more physical up front on defense and also on the OL.
