MacReady Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It’s hard to not agree with Rodgers after what Tampa just did. You need to constantly make moves IN SEASON to account for injuries and weaknesses to your team. Every Super Bowl winner does it. It’s hard to agree with Rodgers. You can’t friggin do it when your QB is getting paid 12% or more of the cap. Last year the Packers could have done it, but didn’t. This year the Packers can’t do it without adjustments from Aaron’s cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cap situation for the next two years is tight as hell even with the limited roll over we were able to maintain from last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t go all in last year. The Buccaneers did. Granted, with Pettine, it likely wasn’t the best idea to go all in, but conventional wisdom suggests last year was the year to do it knowing 2021 would be a wasted year anyway with Aaron’s cap percentage. One additional move somewhere gets us past the Buccaneers. Past the Chiefs? I don’t know, but past the Buccaneers for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND Aaron Rodgers not running it into the end zone on 3rd and goal instead of throwing an incompletion. Some advice for Rodgers, sometimes it better to first look in the mirror before deflecting blame outward! Pettine paid the price for his boneheaded mistake.

I’d argue a freak injury a couple weeks before the NFCC to one of our top 3 players (a top 15 player in the league!) not happening also gets us past the Bucs. I have green tinted glasses, but really feel this is one of our best teams we’ve had in my lifetime. That’s what makes the Rodgers/media B.S. all the more frustrating. Rodgers/Shefter sharing the same marketing firm has me scratching my conspiracy theory itch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t even play in every game but I bet he makes a couple big catches on 3rd/4th down during the meat and potatoes. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/houston-texans/randall-cobb-7783/ Cobbs dead cap number is higher than his salary. He won't be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the surface. there's no chance in hell I'm paying Cobb $8 million,especially with Amari Rodgers in the fold. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siman08/OH Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Rodgers in Green Bay early. Just keeps getting better. Now that last nights fireworks are over and the situation seems handled let’s discuss the nuts and bolts. Is this the best team we’ve had in a long time? I think so.
