Uncle Buck Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 10 hours ago, diamondbull424 said: The ultimate goal of every team is to win SBs, so that’s the ultimate point and ultimately the only point that’s most worth banking on IMO. Rodgers currently gives them the best chance at doing so, Love is an unknown- probably even so in a large enough part to GB considering COVID-19’s impact on development for rookies in general. You stated that not trading Rodgers and rolling with Love is somehow an admission of Love’s inadequacy in the post I quoted. I am simply countering that it’s not. Because even if Love is impressing behind the scenes, you don’t trade Rodgers away after he just won the MVP award. Can you imagine the optics if GB trades away Rodgers and he wins a ring the following season? Regardless of how good Love looks, he would be compared to what could have been with Rodgers in 2021. So again, regardless of how Love looks, it makes the most sense optically, statistically (odds), and developmentally (Love learning behind the MVP) to go with Rodgers this season vs trading him. If Rodgers manages to whine his way into staying for 2-3 more years while largely doing nothing but put up regular season stats and take up a huge amount of cap space, and Love goes on to be a very good quarterback for the next 15 years somewhere else, what would the optics be in that scenario? Personally, I think the odds of that happening are a lot better than Rodgers winning another Super Bowl before he retires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incognito_man Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/07/27/what-did-aaron-rodgers-really-get-from-the-packers/ Our long regional nightmare is over. Aaron Rodgers is back. And at a time when some are twisting themselves in knots to characterize this as some sort of a major win for Rodgers, it’s not. It’s definitely not. Make no mistake about it. Rodgers caved. Rodgers folded. Rodgers surrendered. Once the restructured deal between the Packers and Rodgers becomes official, the Packers get their franchise quarterback. Rodgers gets (checks notes) the 2023 season of his current deal removed That’s it. That’s all he’s getting that he wasn’t already entitled to receive. Sure, they’ll convert a large chunk of his 2021 salary of $14.6 million into a guaranteed payment. That’s something the Packers automatically could have done in March, and which they would have done if he wasn’t making noise behind the scenes about wanting out. Besides, the guarantee means nothing. It’s not like they were going to cut him; he was getting that $14.6 million this year simply by showing up. @N4L@TheKillerNacho @BareYourTeeth LIS before, GB is not "letting him walk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Well, so much for the Packers holding all the power, although this seems like a mutual agreement. In the end though, feels like a win for the Rodgers camp to me, he told them he wants to leave and they're going to accommodate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It’s not all sunshine and rainbows for Rodgers now. He still has to beat out Love for the starting job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While compromise is a good thing, certain fans HAVE to have a win or else they're disgruntled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly a dozen of his teammates restructured for this season. everyone lost in all of this. because of aaron's ego. aaron lost. green bay lost. the fans lost. schefter lost. some fringe media guys won clicks, I guess. other nfc north fans got to bask in some drama for awhile and be entertained. but ultimately the only result was shaving off an already dead 2023 year on his contract anyway. that, and a lot of nonsense.

You just proved my point about you Packer fans ! As for nothing about it being a win ? Well, Packers now get AR12 back under center for another season...that's not a win ? They get Another year of Love to develop.....that's not a win ?? AR12 gets to select team(s) he'll get to play for next season...seems like he gets a win there !! You're just looking at it in a SELFISH way, there's a lot of positives in this scenario so it isn't just Aaron's ego here, at least that's what it appears from the outside looking in.

That was all the baseline heading into the season. It's not a win when something worse happened than "nothing" lol I mean, in some sense, waking up in the morning is a "win" if that's what you mean? Life itself is a "win"? I'm not sure this is limited to "us Packer fans", however. I don't think philosophy is divided cleanly along NFL team fanbase lines.
