They have nothing at WR and appear desperate. Bills have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL and plenty of cap space and you are trying to break it up?

TigerJ Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I don't know that we can predict what will happen going forward, but Aaron Rodgers' disapproval of Green Bay's draft strategy was about as inevitable as lightening in a thunderstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Green Bay has truly wasted Rogers career for the most part. Could have won multiple Super Bowls. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t blame him one bit. the Packers better hope Love turns out to be the second coming. from the NFC championship game to TMZ with one pick You don’t blame him for acting like an absolute baby and holding a presser to give his “thoughts.” Remember when Peyton Manning’s replacement was drafted and Peyton threw a hissy fit and said he felt disrespected?

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) If I were him I’d be annoyed they didn’t use that pick to get a starter. whining to the media is lame, but I could see asking to be traded to a team acting like they want to win now. where is @Ice bowl 67 on this topic?

He has not been consulted on it and when you have a franchise QB taking good portion of salary cap you need to try to at least listen to his viewpoint even if you do not agree with him. He was already very mad when Van Pelt was gone for he was doing a lot of work for Rodgers. Edited May 15, 2020 by Limeaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither. I'm not defending Rodgers' actions, but it's a very different situation than Manning's. Peyton was one hit away from a career-ending neck injury and Luck was considered the best QB to come out of college since ... Peyton Manning. In fact, Peyton told the Colts they'd be stupid not to draft Luck. Meanwhile, Rodgers is still healthy and productive, and the QB they drafted isn't expected to start anytime soon. Drafting his eventual replacement, like they did when they drafted Rodgers and still had Favre, was fine, but they should have at least gotten him some help in the receiving corps first. He has every right to be upset, but I agree with you that he shouldn't be airing it in public. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers regime today is not the same one from the last 5 years. They have a new HC and their new GM joined last year, when the Packers were terrible. So the Packers are cutting bait one year early rather than one year too late. That’s the NFL.

Disregarding the WR position altogether is a completely different story. The GB FO failed They aren't a WR from the SB. They had plenty of chances to find a WR in the vastness of the rest of the draft or in FA. Taking Love did not hurt their chances of getting to the SB this year. It just did not. No matter who they get or would have had at WR for this year, they are not the top 2 NFC teams. They need a much better defense. Their run game is mediocre. So I agree with your last 3 sentences. But this was the worst 13-3 team last season and got embarrassed in every aspect of the game by SF in the NFCC game. If you think that they were a rookie WR from the SB, then you would agree they should make it back to the NFCC game without one this year. That's not going to happen.

The real question here is, did Favre really show up for this “private conversation,” or did he only cash a check? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
