I hope that soon becomes the norm in GB. Rodgers didn't have a 300 yard game in his last 22 in GB .. maybe bypassing the middle of the field is a big reason why? Hitting the middle would be great yes. Using the entire field would ideal from so many vantage pints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This situation is a microcosm of Rodgers' career. He thinks SO highly of himself and his own importance, the effects of his actions (which are considerable) on other people are totally lost on him. He's an absolutely terrible leader. He believes he should be catered to and doesn't need to lead by example. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he's not an idiot the Jets are not great, they have some nice pieces but need some holes filled. I would if i was AR be pushing heavily for Oline help though. Cobb or Lewis as a FA for a year they are cheap all good. Helps him aclimate better and feel more at home with a few friends. I"m not saying I agree, I"m not licking his boots some may think that. Just looking at it objectively, The great ones get leeway and have leverage. I think the pieces he is asking for are not likely to push the needle for Rodgers or the Jets. It just seems more of getting his own posse and support system on the new team. A healthy OBJ actually makes sense to me since he can contribute. The others, I am not quite sure of.

Apparently the Jets are more than happy to play along. .. they flew out to visit Aaron, while most players come in to visit the team facilities, and get acquainted. He's too good for that. He needs to be wooed. He's asking that they sign the friends of Aaron .. some of them well past their prime. Do what you do got to do Jets .. going to be a belly laugher if it fails.

The curse wasn't all bad .. lots of wins, but lots of painful defeats. I just kind of get the idea that it's been like walking on egg shells around there for a few years. Maybe lifting the cloud will give the organization a renewed vigor. Ding dong the witch is dead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will play within the system or ride pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Rodgers gone as much as a lot of us but I don't know if I would characterize the time as a curse at all. I think its basically a relationship that lived its course and dragged for much longer than it should have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t blame Rodgers in this at all… you have power and others are enabling you, go for it. But what do the jets think they are getting here? If he gets Lazard, Cobb and Lewis… those dudes are playing meaningful snaps. They aren’t getting buried on the depth chart. And did these guys move the needle in 2022? You have to hope Wilson and Hall carry these dudes. At the end of the day, if I was a jets fan I would be upset. Because if the jets are playing ball already to all of these demands… they can’t stop. They will need to go along with most everything from here on out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really looking forward to that period when we can look back fondly on Rodgers's career again. It really has been a great ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we don't know for sure on the ins and outs of travel and who made what decisions. 50-60% of the personal posts about this person it's all best guess and opinions based off very little. Vikings players flew down to ole Mississippi to see Bert a couple times:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah .. plus you try to deal him at the draft .. if that fails you wait until someone loses a top QB. Or your just breakdown and call San Fran or wherever he really wants to play. They could always try to bribe him .. here's 30 million to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason one can't still look fondly at it and even embrace the change to a new QB. Seems the board likes factions but i think one can appreciate Brett Favre, AR, and Love and many other scenarios. It's a cut throat business.
