Rodgers to the Jets Trade Discussion

[Lodestar]

It is going to be weird watching Jets games and rooting against them but also holding my breath any time a defender gets near Rodgers, at least for the first 11 or so games.

Hoping the Jets draft an offensive lineman with every pick, and every snap is max-protect or a run play.

Where Rodgers runs the play clock down to the last second… freaking Robert out every play, every series, every game.

Forgiven for what?  The Packers wanted to move on not Aaron. 

I mean fans wise .

It’s possible to have Rodgers be an all-time fav, still like him, and also recognize the best thing for everyone was separating and root for hell like Love now. It’s ok to be amicable.

This. His issues as a player are real, and it was best for both parties to move on. He gets way too much hate.

Learned the lesson with Favre: neither deify nor vilify your QB.  As for Rodgers, as Ted Thompson aptly put it,  "he is a complicated fella."  I don't have to like everything about the guy to still like some things about him and just wish him well in general. It's just a game, an entertainment business after all. Good luck to the man. 

The thing is, turns out the evidence is suggesting Favre was/is a bit of a ****ty person. Rodgers may have gotten a bit weird and wavered on his future (not uncommon) as he got older but there’s been none of that Favre BS so far.

Man... I hope this is a habit that Love didn't pick up lol.  I'd love to see us play with a faster pace.

If the Jets get buyer's remorse, they could fail him on his physical and void the deal.

I dunno, that vax dodge doesn't sit right with me - it's like he didn't want to say he was pro- or anti-. Just own it, either way.

I was thinking about this yesterday, and the weird thing is that when we DID go tempo - usually when Rodgers was trying to catch them with 12 men - it very often worked out in our favor, and it wasn't as if the D was totally unprepared, usually everyone was set and in position on D, it was just someone was hustling near the numbers. 

 

Rodgers is WAY smart, no one denies that, but I swear the offense overall would've run more smoothly if he weren't determined to prove it 20x a game.

Forget it, it's just him being him  .. just wish him well, hope he plays ok and just doesn't frickin get hurt.

If he took less money and didn't demand a new contract every time a different QB got a new deal he'd be getting too much hate.

But... Tsk... Every time a QB got a new deal he bitched and moaned and got a raise years (plural) before his contract was up.

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes hasn't said **** about getting a raise and he's still waking up with his second Super Bowl win, third Super Bowl appearance.

Rodgers gets just the right amount of hate.

If you take a sack on 4th down to protect your legacy, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team.
If you heave the ball 40 yards over a receiver's head to protect your legacy, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team.
If you get butthurt about each new QB getting paid more than you, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team.
If you wiggle your way into getting control of your team's roster and insist on getting Randall Cobb back and keeping your inordinately large amount of money instead of taking a pay cut to get a legitimate receiver, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team.
If you get your head coach fired by throwing to open receiver's feet instead of their hands, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team.
If you refuse to show up to OTAs and every team activity you can get out of and refuse to play in the preseason when your team can't afford a veteran receiver because you're making too much money so instead they have to rely on two rookies who desperately need time to get used to your insanely meticulous needs, your legacy should be a QB who cared more about himself than his team.

Brett Favre MULTIPLE times took WAY LESS than he was worth in his era of football and frequently took pay cuts to help the team. Rodgers ONCE converted money into a signing bonus and saved his team 8 million dollars. That's it.

Brett Favre the football player is a bigger Packer legend than Rodgers ever could be. Dude suffered through what would get NFL players arrested and never missed a game, ALWAYS gave his young receivers chances at the cost of his own legacy, being remembered as an interception king when he had rosters of Chatman, Driver, Ferguson and no offensive line...

Rodgers was a selfish, myopic, self-centered individual who couldn't see beyond himself in a sport that requires 11 players at any given time on the field and his legacy suffered due to his selfishness, vanity and ego.

Man Mac don't sugarcoat it tell us how you really feel?  Gotta say though some of those points are valid.  Had Rodgers took less cash to help the team he's probably still be a Packer.  That last contract really bothered me.  He did get MM fired really pissed me off at the time.  No doubt about it.
