What a petty, insecure, sad person. How does he have friends? Lol. Do you have to walk on eggshells your entire life around him and never jokingly talk crap in order to not end up on the 100 year long Aaron Rodgers irrevocable grudge list?? He came in and immediately talked crap to Favre, made jokes about him being old, and so forth. So he's also a massive hypocrite. That's for the 16 fun years Aaron, I'll probably forgive you in 5 years like I did Favre. Until then, you need to do some work on yourself cause damn you are overly sensitive, petty and insecure. Cool story bro. You literally know nothing about these situations and sound like a fool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBURGE Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Not sure how a lot of you don't accept Rodgers' side of this. I am pretty well on both sides and am interested to see how it plays out. My take on all of this is that Rodgers wants what Brady had in New England. Short deals or the option for himself to opt out of the deal and go somewhere else since he feels he has given GB enough to warrant that. OR he wants a contract that guarantees his future here for the next few years. I don't see how either of those are unreasonable for him after 16 years. The org is not willing to do either, so he wants out. How is that unreasonable? I would want the same. I feel he's earned that. I understand and agree with the org's side as well. 17-19 were certainly declining years and they felt they needed to be ready to move on if needed. So they drafted Love, a raw prospect who needs a few years. Then Rodgers has an MVP season, and they are kinda stuck. Love isn't ready or else we wouldn't have all this drama. Rodgers is upset that the Packers didn't go all in the last couple years and history shows they wouldn't be willing to do that going forward. But the Packers won't mortgage the future to try to win a chip, which I have mixed thoughts about, but I understand why they don't want to move on from Love and give the keys to Aaron for 4 years- what happens if he goes back to 17-19 level? They're stuck and lose the prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance at an open market in FA would lead to another 100M+ windfall them and leave the Packers with nothing in return. Just how bad does everyone want another chance at a SB with this all in group? Murphy is going to be the do good ambassador, and jack this whole thing up. Watch!!!!!

{Family Ghost} Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Brett ends his radio interview with a positive thought. More from Favre on @WildeAndTausch: "I’d like to see [Rodgers] win a Super Bowl in Green Bay, another one. The things is, life’s too short, I want him to be happy. ... Win another Super Bowl and then do what you want to do, whether it’s keep playing or play somewhere else." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract is the great equalizer. I'll never understand why people think it's "ok" for players to want to break a contract. Why should the teams absorb 100% of the risk? The contract is THE vehicle to equally disperse risk so it's agreeable to both sides. It makes zerozerozerozero sense why people implicitly think teams should absorb ALL the risk. GB and Rodgers both made a bet (the contract). Rodgers "won" the first 2 years by earning more money than he deserved. GB "won" year 3 by getting better performance than the contract was worth. Suddenly, one side (after said performance) DEMANDS a risk readjustment? GTFO. Only way I'd EVER support that is if players are forced to give back part of their paycheck for underperformances as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans wanting him to play on a lame duck deal for the benefit of the franchise shouldn't be all that surprising. ANY extension that would have given 5th Down security with Green Bay or control over his future would have been vehemently hated by most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by most of us .. .this latest crap has pushed some of us against him.
