Aaaaand here's your host...... Aaron Rodgerrrrrs

[BaaadThingsMan]

Rodgers is pissed at GB for disrespecting him and he can hold a grudge with the best of them. 

Crazy thing is he might go to SF who snubbed him at the draft all those years ago and he's had a grudge against ever since.

I was worried about this for a second as well. But no way they have the trade capital to pull it off.

 

9ers are having troubles getting it done and they have #3 and Jimmy G and others.

Fair enough. 

And I'm hearing that Rodgers wants to be on the west coast, hence the "Raiders and Broncos" rumors. 

What a mess. They really should have just accepted the 49ers trade offer. They're not going to do better than 3rd overall pick, replacement QB who isn't terrible, and extra stuff. 

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

What I don't like is that if the Broncos do trade for him, that'll include #9, which makes it almost certain that Fields, Lance, or Jones will fall to NE.

If Bosa is AT ALL on the table, the Packers are morons if they dont immediately pull the trigger.

 

Heck, I'd do it for #3 and Bosa alone.

Agreed. But I'd damn sure rather see the Patriots get a rookie who has a CHANCE to be good than get Aaron Rodgers, who we already KNOW is elite and who'd probably win them another ring.

I prefer he stays in the NFC. I also heard Broncos, Raiders, and 49ers.

 

 

For F*** sake, you guys, please...like the AFC needs another good QB.

 

WTH is wrong with the NFC?!!!!!

At best it will probably be Jones available to them.  Not concerned.

?? - Elway's three best statistical seasons by far were 1993 and the final three seasons of his career (1996-1998). He was a legit pro bowl QB for both of those SB-winning teams. 

Manning broke the TD record with Denver when they lost to the Sea.  Elway in the late 80s was another animal.  The game was differant so numbers wont reflect it.  He carried all those teams.  Terrel Davis was a massive reason why they made it and won 2 superbowls.  He is in the Hall of Fame for winning Elways 2 Limbardis.

For starters, it would be a massive cap hit. Secondly, they'd be trading the MVP and one of the best QBs of all time for a meh starter and one pick? 

Rodgers is 37 though and how many years left does he has?

 

Not saying I would do it. But if he has no interest to play in GB, then I would do that trade up in a heart beat.

 

Assuming you are talking about the 3rd pick from SF here

Yeah. The key thing is they already drafted a QB of the future last year, who already had a redshirt year. Why not accept the third pick and some other stuff, and then see if you can trade down with one of the QB needy teams and get a haul of picks to build around Love?

I don’t agree with many in here. Rodgers has been very forgiving to this team. I’d be disgruntled too. 

 

Drafting like a bunch of buffoons, not making moves to help your offense via free agency, these are legitimate gripes. They’re wasting his best years, and a team that is a few players away from a super bowl. 

 

I actually think he’s played it pretty cool with all of this tomfoolery. Many would have said a lot harsher. 

  I'm thinking that Rodgers being kind of a whiny a hole and him having legitimate gripes against the organization are not mutually exclusive, both could be true.

Oh come on. Elway was sensational in his final few seasons. He put up three of the highest 4 AV numbers (PFR's WAR equivalent for the NFL; last column) in those 3 seasons: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/ElwaJo00.htm. And what does Manning's 2013 season have to do with this?

Rodgers pulls some decent celebritys.  I think he is too smart for Istagram.  I could only imagine the Wisconsin Istagram models...

[Virgil]

I could be way off, but I have a theory.  
 

What if Aaron is pulling all this to have more say in who the Packers draft tonight.  The team asks what they can do to make him happy, and he demands a trade up for receiver or something. 
 

Probably not, but I do think he’s a bit of a narcissist

Final part of the last part of his career.  It happened in Denver not indy.  Up until that last year his play had not dipped.  As an older qb he had better success than his prime.  Elway may prefer roster building and being oppurtunistic with older qbs.

All I'm saying is that Elway wasn't carried by his team to SB wins. He was one of the best qbs in the league those years and actually a SB MVP.

If I told you 2 years ago that you wouldn’t want the Bills to trade for Aaron Rodgers, would you have believed me?

 

It’s amazing how much has changed and Rodgers was just the MVP.

This dude was just minding his own business, daydreaming about Spider 2 Y Banana, and all of a sudden Julio Jones and Aaron Rodgers are available. Someone's gonna need to take his phone away before he offers his first born.

I was young, but I remember Td, Sharpe and both wrs making big plays on 15 to 20 yard throws.  Im not down grading his play though.  Would you rather pay Manning, Elway, Brady, Rodgers there first or second deals?  I think a fair argurement that getting a guy at the end is better than drafting one.  If you draft one you have to pay.  You get them at the end its cheaper compared to market and instead of a hefty extention in 4 years they ride off in the sunset.

[Chicken Boo]

They've wasted enough of his career.  

 

He should have demanded a trade as soon as the 2020 season ended, after last year's draft and playoff debacle.

Sounds like did.  I think he went public after the 49ers trade leaked.

He's played his entire career in GB and carried that franchise on his back for the vast majority of that time, under an incompetent front office and coaching staff.  

 

GB is a 5 win team without Rodgers.

Good for him!  I've been empathetic to Rodgers situation ever since Ted Thompson refused pay Greg Jennings.  

[Kelly the Dog]

The best thing to ever happen to Rodgers was for the Packers to surprisingly draft him in the first round behind a Hall of Famer and then sit him. Now he hates they are doing the same thing to him. He's a dick.

It isn't just that. The Packers haven't put a good team around him in years. Their first 3 draft picks were a total waste. They never draft a receiver high. He is sick of carrying the team. And if the latest report is true they lied to him that he would be traded. He has a legitimate gripe with how the organization has treated him.

Actually he did ...

 

"The reason Rodgers trade demands are coming out now is because he apparently gave the team an ultimatum. According to former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo, the Packers told Rodgers they would trade him this offseason and when they changed their mind, the QB became angry. At some point over the past week, Rodgers told the team that they would have to trade him because he had no plans to play for them ever again."

I hope this is a lesson to Josh .. take less money so you have a team around you. These guys complain, but they absorb all of the salary cap leaving the team to plug in with lesser players. TB is considered the GOAT because he won .. and a reason he won besides he is the GOAT (and he cheats a bit) is because he enabled the Pats to pay other players by not taking the full salary he could have garnered.

I think they've drafted three offensive players in the first round since Rodgers' year - two offensive tackles and another Quarterback.

Adams is arguably the best WR in the game. They have a great RB and a great line. Tonyans a good TE and had 11 TDs. He won MVP and they were a TD away from the Super Bowl. He's a dick.

Didn't he play three full years for the Pack before Rodgers took over?

[Nelius]

He's been there for 16 (!) seasons and only has a single ring. Everything else aside, he really owes them nothing and should move on for the sake of his own legacy. The way some are commenting, it's as if he's expected to play in Green Bay until his arm falls off or he pays them. Ridiculous. And I personally find Rodgers terribly unlikeable. Probably only behind Brady and Cousins on the QB hate scale.

He retired the first time in 2008 before coming back to play for the Vikings but he was talking about it before that.

Understood. Thanks for link and reminder. Although that article was before the draft saying Favre was coming back to play, and wanted to continue playing as long as he was healthy. And was coming off a great year of 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs. 

[Logic]

I hope we never become the team that neglects it’s franchise QB, refuses to get him weapons, and generally pisses him off. Clearly, that hasn’t been the case so far. I can think of nothing as important as keeping an elite QB happy.
