Much of the dislike towards him over non football issues started during his first MVP season when he recently won them back to back. That was even before the NFC championships loss and less than stellar playoff game. No, it's very accurate. His personal accolades are forgettable to fans when considering team success. That's kinda the most important point here. Edited February 27, 2023 by incognito_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right - so if Rodgers says he wants to play, but only for GB, and GB says no thank you, then what happens? Does he retire or accept the trade.

I’ve never seen a QB go out of his way so blatantly to try to get guys on expiring deals some public love to help their Free Agency stock. Wouldn’t shut up about Lazard, Lewis, etc. this year. Greg Jennings only gets hired to talk about Rodgers. Finley also runs his mouth. Both turned down large extensions from Green Bay prior to accepting much smaller contracts. And I was told by someone I trust that he made a move on an East Troy HS senior while a Packer. Gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he retire or accept the trade. This beyond the money is why the present contract is so bad. Paid him way too much money with great cap injury and gave Lord Rodgers way too much leverage. If Rodg says he wants to play, and only for GB the Packers then ask for a team friendly re-do. When Rodg and his agent say suck it, he is then informed then all right. Come on back. Cobb, Lewis, Crosby, Tonyan and more are all gone. And you WILL have to compete for the starting job and you WILL have to play under Frenchy's system or find the bench. The one who speaks next loses.

Bringing Rodgers back for a year with this same team and not adding anything but rookies is a waste for a one year experiment. Love Rodgers, but they need to trade him if the trade package is right.

incognito_man Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Obviously if he goes to another team I'll want to see him fail. But that's for football reasons. Better draft picks, and/or another team that's not a threat to GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding rookies basically means getting worse than the other competitors. Maybe Rodgers bounces back, maybe he continues to decline. But current cap means they probably can't add all that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Covid stance had an impact on football (missing additional time if you are anti-science), but it's relatively minor compared to bigger issues with him (skipping OTAs, forcing his way into bad team personnel moves, playing selfishly vs within coaches' scheme, allowing his ego to supercede team success). I’m not arguing with you when I ask if OTAs are better spent on Love anyway to be investing in the future? Completely agree he’s been a ***** making Cobb get brought back, and the offense is disjointed at times because Rodgers thinks he knows better than the scheme. I do think that can go very differently next season though if they make some adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if Love is starting thst year, I think. I think our team was worse in 2022 than it could have been because of a number of decisions Rodgers made. Not sure our future is better because Love got that time instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was it that made a move on an East Troy HS senior? Finley. One of my employees was all state at TE during Finley’s time in GB. Allegedly, Finley took a group of all state TEs and their friends in a limousine after a honors ceremony and while in the limousine, he drank alcohol with a pile of HS seniors along for the ride and was sloppy drunk enough to forget they were high schoolers, not college kids. Kept asking them why college they went to, what their majors were, etc. Started putting his arms around girls. I actually kind of doubt it happened the way he says though, he played football until he was 31 for the amateur leagues anround here and I’ve heard his exaggerate stories I was there for. But he did have a picture of him and Finley on his Facebook from the ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day you can find clips of him talking about Favre in a not so nice light without using that term. The fact that Rodgers goes on his show while Favre has litigation against McAfee is a hell of a contrast between the two though and should be embraced by Packerland because it’s hilarious.

I understand being drunk enough to think 6’4” and 235 LB guys are college students. But the girls…no. Of course this only came up when we drove past Mark Chmuras infamous hot tub home. He was at camps with Derek Watt, too. Said Derek was legitimately cool and his mom was hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
