Well, as we saw in the Super Bowl, the difference between contending and winning is one team getting a penalty and the other getting a bogus whistle.

Should we call him the Prince of Darkness now? Or maybe Dark Aaron? Hope he's getting enough Vitamin D in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I can say that he's half of the band DV DA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 If it was so easy it would be happening at a higher rate. That, or it is harmful to have a great QB. Both things cannot be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Still not settled one way or another, but I knew I should have put money on that +600 Rodgers staying in GB. lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to think .. the recent statements from Tom P. and this guy above could be the Packers trying to keep their trade market strong, or it could be truth. Maybe the Packers brass is truly a bunch of cowards and is fearful of life beyond Rodgers. I go back then and question why they ever rocked the boat in the first place by spending a #1 and a #4 on Love? If they thought Rodgers might be slipping then you'd have to think that they think he might really be slipping now at 39 years old. Hopefully the Packers have a price for trading Aaron and some team hits their sweet spot. They still are yet to say that they definitely are not trading him. They could put it all to bed with a simple statement, but they aren't doing it. Edited February 22, 2023 by {Family Ghost} 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I'd assert that your "margin for error" is smaller, e.g., need a high draft hit percentage; need to avoid injuries to starters at key positions at least come playoff time, etc. Those things did not sufficiently happen for the Packers, at during the period of last two NFC Championship games against TB and San Fran.

OzPackfan Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I think we can categorically rule out retirement. If that was going to happen he wouldn't have taken this long to come to that decision (most players in all sports know when their time is up) So that leaves coming back or being traded. Whether Rodgers comes back will come down to how much longer he wants to keep playing. If he only sees himself laying one more year then the chances of getting value in a trade are low. If he sees himself playing 2-3 more years then its up to the Packers to decide if thats in Green Bay (and if so what do they do with Love) or are they happy to let Rodgers leave and where would he like to go for that 2-3 years. I'd be surprised if the Packers haven't had discussions with Rodgers around not having this circus repeat itself again next year and him needing to make a long term decision once and for all.

Arthur Penske Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Rodgers and Lazard staying would make this place implode I have no idea who this guy is btw Edited February 22, 2023 by Arthur Penske Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Anyone who doesn't want Lazard back at a fair price is just dumb. Really as simple as that. 10m per or lower and that's a fair deal for a good player. Above that, I'll take the comp pick. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacyIsGood Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 In regards to Rodgers returning…isn’t he due a massive bonus the week after the Super Bowl? So wouldn’t a Rodgers return really be for the next 2 years? If that’s the case, I have a hard time seeing that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any return probably comes with a restructured contract which I have no doubt removes any bonuses due over the next 12 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
