plan9misfit Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 14 hours ago, TVScout said: What possible leverage could he have had? He had just won his 4th NFL MVP, which was back-to-back for 2020 and 2021, and had a contract that was on the lower end of salaries. Jordan Love had also looked terrible in the limited action he saw in games, so Rodgers had a ton of leverage. Again, do you not pay attention? This was all over sports networks for 2 years. Rodgers wanted more money, and threatened to possibly retire, so they caved and paid him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/03/28/jordan-love-packers-aaron-rodgers-trade-to-jets Rodgers became surplus. The extension was about getting more value in a trade.

The extension was about getting more value in a trade. Jordan Love in the first 3 years of his career threw a pass in 8 separate games. In 5 of them he was terrible. In the other three he had 9, 7, and 5 passing attempts respectively. He hadn't really shown anything substantial to make anyone believe he was going to amount to anything at that point, at least in public.

Again, do you even watch the games? You don’t know what you’re talking about. Quit while you’re behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said what I saw was a young QB throwing a TD pass without any interceptions In todays NFL that is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got rid of Rodgers without Love performing well because they were so sick of Rodgers’ antics that they were willing to gamble on Love, but it had absolutely nothing to do with Love playing well or them believing that he was ready for the job. Like I said, quit while you’re behind. You’re embarrassing yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
textaz03 Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Surprised this wasn’t posted here yet https://x.com/rapsheet/status/1808933620351996003?s=46&t=ktd6JTByZwOAf6VhdnN4wg #Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, spotted here in a protective walking boot, is dealing with a very minor foot sprain and has been for a few days. It’s not considered to be anything that should affect his preparation for 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't see that either because you don't know how to predict how a player will develop. Skilled pro scouts and coaches do. https://x.com/TyDunne/status/1626687800551567360 From @BobMcGinn : “On the other hand, they love Jordan Love. They think he’s the second coming now.

And, in case you missed it, that tweet was in February of 2023. After the season ended, and well over a year after Rodgers leveraged his way into the massive contract extension. Again. Quit. While. You’re. Behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tweet was posted before Rodgers was traded. Again if Love was a bust Rodgers could not be dumped because without a quality QB the team could have lost almost every game which would have resulted in mass firings of the coaches and managers. As for love playing poorly in his first 3 seasons so did Troy Aikman. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/troy-aikman-first-three-seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garbage? 1) Ignorant snark is valuable info? 2) Coaches don't get fired after teams lose lots of games? 3) Troy played at a pro bowl record as a rookie?

The only one speaking in ignorance here is you, as your “facts” are not only inaccurate, but taken completely out of the actual timelines that events occurred in. Coaches get fired for multiple reasons. I’m sure that you don’t recall Marty Schottenheimer getting fired after going 14-2. You’re moving the goal posts now, as your initial “point” was about his first 3-4 years, not his play as a rookie. But, to humiliate you even more, let’s address your stupidity, anyway. Aikman made the Pro Bowl in 1991 and won the damned Super Bowl in 1992, so your “facts” about his first few years are false. Not to mention that 1) he was a day 1 starter as a rookie and missed nearly half the season due to injury, where Love wasn’t, 2) the Cowboys were literally in a total rebuild, which is why they had the #11 pick in the 1988 draft to get Michael Irvin, the #1 overall pick in the 1989 draft, and traded Herschel Walker to acquire even more picks and rebuild, which included Emmitt Smith in 1990 and Darren Woodson in 1992; as opposed to Love who was drafted in the late 20s and went to an already established and very talented team, 3) Aikman also grew into his role with a rookie head coach, and rookie owner. Jesus dude, just stop. You not only have no idea what you’re talking about with respect to other teams, but you don’t even know what you’re talking about with respect to the Cowboys.
