I'm actually good with the move on a year too early than a year too late strategy. Isn't this something that everyone praised BB and the Patriots for?

Last year was a year too early. Now is a year too late. 

But I'll take what I can get.

The irony of Rodgers referencing his comments from two years ago is that all those guys he rattled off then were 100% the right decision to let go when we did. As he is himself now.

So accurate it hurts.

Right. BB and the Patriots are considered genius for this, but the Packers are evil.

It’s because of the results.. BB has the SBs. The brutal nature “lead” to team success.

Unfortunately we got rid of Aaron a year too late.

Definitely wish we got the haul the Seahawks got for Russ.  Though it is heartening to consider that the Seahawks were better with Geno Smith than they were the year prior with Russell Wilson.

What if we still get a solid haul and he goes on to play at a top level?  Crystal ball, you get rid of him last year but many factors, number one being MVP level play, two Love was not yet showing he could take the wheel, means we bring AR back.  He still may very well bring some strong assets back. I remember the Favre pick was a conditional 1st that became a 3rd that became Clay Matthews. Hopefully we get much more than that and a much less messy divorce.

Thought he sounded like a weak teet on that front. Boo hoo we don’t roll out a red carpet for players whom are still active in the NFL. 

Does Rodgers not see players getting cut from every team in late August?  Cap casualties in March?

It's not a GB only thing....it's an every team thing

In hindsight, absolutely. But there's both football and sentimental value in being sure Aaron's time here has run its course. And it definitely has and everyone kinda feels that way.

Moving on last year would have been more bitter somehow, I think. 2022 softened some edges, in a lot of ways, of his departure for many.

I didn't know Jordan Love was Aaron Rodgers, my bad, thought they were two separate people. I forgot we have the secret formula to developing HoF QBs.

We do have a secret formula.  Love Potion #3

Rodgers isn’t new… his boyhood team kicked Montana out on his butt to KC, for some young gun.

Its always the same song and dance… these guys think they are unique and special. Better than the legends before them. Yet they forget one of the most tired over use saying in their profession…

it’s a business.

I don't think he was that harsh to the front office. He stated the truth. The last time he was really making that point the bigger part was about him being approached for his opinion and such. I think everyone knows the reality of the business. Most of the time the Packers front office was right. I do wish we would've kept Jordy over Graham though. Oh well, it is what it is.
