TroutDog Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 If he can control his ego, he’ll have two more years with the Pack. In my opinion, he’s earned that. The question is how much like Favre he’ll be as Favre wouldn’t help the young buck if I recall correctly. If he gets the two years, he’ll be 38 and that is a heck of a career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Done? No. Has the countdown now started? Yep. I think he might regret running Mike McCarthy out of town because McCarthy was willing to run a Rodgers centric offense. That isn't how LeFleur rolls. It is going to be the stretch zone and Rodgers is going to be judged by how well he executes the system rather than by how many plays he makes when things break down. At times last year when the system wasn't functioning you could see Rodgers's frustration mounting. Green Bay will win more games with LeFleur as they did last season, and Rodgers still played "well" but he is now just a piece of the puzzle rather than the engine that made the offense go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVilanch Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Nope, he is a bit egotistical but he is still QB1 in GB for the foreseeable future. I don't think he will be the mentor type even though he knows exactly how it feels to be the young QB drafted to be the heir to a superbowl winning QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Why is this pick so difficult for so man to understand. He's not done, but he's pretty close. Why not draft his replacement now? Isn't that the smarter way to do it? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Bill Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Was Bart Starr done...? Rodgers curve has flattened in GB. He has to now reinvent his style to be successful. He needs a new offence system to allow continued success. He may have to change teams to get the mental approach that will be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjv001 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I don't understand why GB's management hasn't upgraded their WR corp. Can you imagine all the contortions our local sports media would go through if the Bills management did not improve the Bills WR corp. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like that offense really doesn't have a ton of talent at skill positions Dillon should help with Jones i guess - but Adams and ??? at WR and TE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 They can't afford to get rid of him for 2 years. Too big of a cap hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Rodgers forces his way out. Teams weigh their options on scales we can't possibly begin to imagine. What is the ROI on every contract they hand out--and those are metrics that are based on everything from season ticket sales to hotdogs. A "controversial" rookie quarterback on a cheap deal, with a strong defense and running game, might bring an ROI that far outstrips whatever it is ARod brings to the table. 13-3 and 1 playoff game at home is the same as 10-6 and 1 playoff game at home, really.

BarleyNY Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Deleted my prior post. Misunderstood his contract details because of that article. He’s got 4 years left on it at very reasonable hits for a QB of his ability. That really makes the Love pick confusing to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) All good things come to an end. The question is - When He isn't getting younger He has had issues with coaches Is drafting a QB a sign? Maybe, maybe not. But I would expect a change sooner than later if the Packers don't win with him this season.

Unless injury, Love won't see the field until year 3. He is a project. Rodgers cap ramifications if the Pack decided to get rid of Rodgers these next two years is huge. My guess is AR has two more years in GB & I doubt he helps Love much, kind of the same way Favre really didn't help him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
