When I google how many nfl mvp's have there been? 57 undisputed winners according to google. So, 57 dice are rolled, not one 6 came up. Should have been 9 or 10 if we are using your example.

I disagree. There were plenty of people advocating for a trade rather than giving him the deal that they did, long before the season even happened. there was even a poll on it 30 voters for trading, 12 for keeping him at $50m AAV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. Most had no problem with him coming back, but the deal was outrageously stupid. I myself thought it was time in the circumstances to move him for a truck load of treasure, at his age and with his attitude. What Rodg got was overpaid and way too much power. Terrible decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so funny that AR12 said "it's not about the money" just a couple of weeks before they made him the highest paid player in NFL history (again) at the age of 38. I was 50/50 on him coming back without the extension, after he threw his public fit. The extension was the dumbest thing we could have done. Packers fans like to say that both Ted Thompson and Brian Gutekunst let their "egos" drive their decision-making, which I think is nonsense, except that giving AR12 that extension (for what seemed like mostly a PR face-saving move by the org) is the one time I would agree. They put their own PR before the good of the team on that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at that price? Gute was a fool and handcuffed the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Gute wanted to hand out that deal to #12 .. that's a Russ Ball and Mark Murphy production. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
