Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers

I’m very gruntled (happy, humorous) that Rodgers is disgruntled.  I had to look it up as I honestly have never used the term gruntled, nor even heard someone use it in a sentence.  I might today just to mess with people in a lighthearted way of course.

 

That guy is such a diva.  He p....s and moans about everything.  Why he even was upset about the Love pick was silly.  He was never real competition for him.  Love is a long term grooming project for a couple of years from now.  

With all due respect, he wasn’t upset because he thought Love was competition for him. We all know the thought of that competition would be laughable.  While I haven’t talked to AR myself, everything I’ve read insinuates that he was upset because they weren’t using their resources to help the team win now.....with him.  Rather they used their draft picks to build for a future without AR.

The most SB ready team without a QB is the Saints. I wonder if that would ever happen. I’m sure they want him out of the conference but I don’t see an afc team that is a QB away or has a better roster than GB.

Why do the packers care about trading him to a team that is closest to winning a SB?  One would think that they would be looking for the best package of picks in the AFC.  Let’s use Denver for instance...🤣.  If Denver offered the best package of picks for AR, would GB refuse the trade because the don’t think Denver could win a SB with him?  No.  That’s just silly.  
 

are you insinuating that there aren’t any teams that would be willing to trade for AR because they aren’t a QB away from winning a SB?  I don’t really understand the premise of the bolded.  What does this have to do with GB?  Rodgers doesn’t have a no trade clause, they can send him wherever they want.

There not going to send him in the NFC, I don't care what teams offer.  If the Broncos offer them 3 firsts and a few players aka maybe Locke & Surtain I am unloading him in a heartbeat.  He only has a few good years left anyways.

Yeah; I realize this and stated as much in the post ..but what does this have to do with the post that I quoted.

Their guy they just drafted in the 1st and 3 more 1st round picks??  Elway might be dumb enough to pull that off lol.

Green Bay will send him to a super bowl contender, just not in the NFC.  Also put in AR on a lot of teams & they instantly would become super bowl contenders.

Yeah highly doubtful and it is steep, but desperate teams do desperate things.  I mean the Rams sent two first round picks and their former #1 pick to the Lions for a guy that has never won anything.

Packers should jump if that's the offer.

No, I’m saying there from the other side of the trade - there aren’t any teams in the AFC who would be willing to give up what GB would want in return, because they aren’t a QB away. He will be expected to walk in and win a SB. Who in the AFC has that level of roster and no SB-caliber QB? Saints otoh..

Gotcha.
 

I think Denver COULD win a title with AR within the next couple years.  Their secondary is one of the best in the league now imo.  Solid DL.  Very good weapons at RB, WR and TE.  Improving OL that gets wrecked by injuries every year.  

 

The Raiders wouldn’t win a SB but they would be more relevant for the next 3-4 years if they gm could keep him happy.  

 

The Patriots could win a SB with him with proper moves over the next year or two. 

 

The Dolphins could win a super bowl with the proper moves.  
 

the Steelers.....the ravens.....the Browns.....the titans....the colts.  
 

idk....

 

The real question is, imo, how many picks will it take and can the teams make the proper cap adjustments to make it work.  If it takes 2 1st rd picks, I think there could be quite a few suitors in the afc.  Just because a team has a tier 2-3 QB, i don’t think it disqualifies them from wanting to trade for one of the top 3 QBs in the league that just had his best season.  Making it fit under the cap is the tricky part.  Not impossible though

I know his claims and they haven’t used their first round picks for the last 10 years on offensive weapons except Love, but he was very boisterous yet cryptic on the pick of love vs. a WR.

so, arguing about if rogers is a baby or the goat who was hard done by, can this even happen?  anyone got an insight as to what team might end up going for him?

 

although it won't ever happen, i think if he went to cleveland they'd be a top 3 team to win the chip this year.

I think he deserves the Texans, but not as much as Deshaun does.

Interestingly the top 5 WRs are not in camp for Packers.  They have 79 of the 89 players there.

Asked if he knew if their absences from the technically voluntary practices were part of some sort of boycott or statement, LaFleur replied: “I really don’t know. I’ve had individual conversations with each guy, but never once has that come up.

Won't happen either way but a lot more fun than Denver.

I think Rodgers putting on cement boots and jumping of a pier so we don’t have to hear his name anymore would be fun tastic !!!

It would never work. There'd be constant debate about whether it was suicide or murder. Either way there'd be debate about the motive. If murder, there would also be debate about who the culprit was. You'd never hear the end of it!

Off topic, but don't sleep on Stafford. Detroit is a **** organization through and through. The Rams are so stacked & loaded w/ talent on both sides and don't get it twisted, Stafford is superior to Goff and one tough SOB.

To be better (for the Rams) than Goff, he's got to get the Rams back to the SB in 1-2 years....

I think that's definitely a possibility to get to one. Especially w/ the Seahawks and Packers in such turmoil. The Rams can take the NFC.

 

It would be hilarious if Goff ends up winning Detroit the Superbowl though.

It will be interesting to see a QB which does not need to be coached pre-snap in helmet by head coach with Rams.

lol, going through the teams that need qb, texans popped into my head, but lol.

 

Could be a good team for a 3 way trade:

 

Texans get 3 1sts

Packers get Watson 

Some other team gives up 3 1sts and gets Rodgers

I'm really looking forward to seeing Stafford on a good team with a real coach finally. 

 

They gave Green Bay a game last year and beat Tampa during the season. That's with Goff, the Madden controller QB. They can absolutely win the NFC.

 

Early prediction for the NFC Title Game: Rams and Packers (assuming Rodgers is still on the Packers). 

 

And we all know how NFC Title Games go when Rodgers plays!

Did Goff put up a tyrod 3 burger in that superbowl? I can't remember🤔

 

yeah---Only 21 completions, zero TDs and an INT and only 3-12 on 3rd down conversions..

 

Oh, wait....those were Brady's numbers.

 

Great point though...

In the spirit of Andy Rooney, brought up here recently:

 

”Have you ever heard of someone being called gruntled?”   (I looked it up. It’s a word)

Yes, its normally reserved to describe someone who has just had a massive bowel movement or a guy who just crop dusted a bunch of nuns.

That game where they played Cleveland a few years ago is one of my favorite moments in NFL history. He gets crushed by CJ Mosley and severely injures his shoulder on that final drive, gets taken out of the game for a play or 2, then comes back in wincing and holding his arm to throw the game winning TD in the final seconds. The guy's a gamer for sure. Reminds me of Marino in a lot of ways. Both put up monster numbers consistently, but never really had a decent team around them. 5000+ passing yards is hard to do even in this day & age.

 

Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of the guy if u can't already tell lol. I felt like he was given a raw deal going to Detroit. This is why top QB prospects try to have more of a say on where they get drafted. Can you imagine Josh Allen succeeding there? Sure, they had Calvin Johnson, but they never supplied him w/ a good running game, defense, and their coaches sucked. Before Josh Allen came to the Buffalo I was a big advocate for the Bills making a run for Stafford. Regardless, I really hope he succeeds w/ the Rams except when they play the Bills.

Pride gets in the way and everyone loses...

 

Except Rodgers loses the least. Yes, he has to give up the $$ but he has a ton and he will eventually play somewhere. 

 

the real losers in this are Lafleur, who might have to go back to getting McVay his coffee after a season with Love at QB, and the GM, who will have bumbled his way out of a HOF QB with nothing to show for it. 

 

I think I feel the worst for Lefleur, who has no control over any of this and will take the fall.

Did LaFleur have a hand in drafting Love?  If so, his fate should be tied to Love's.
