In addition to the $50 MIL, he also demands to be at the top of the list in every news cycle. That part is non-negotiable! 

 

He'll have to drive a stake thru Brady's heart first.

This is a problem with drafting 9 defensive players and a replacement QB with their last 10 #1 picks.............they have done well to add Davante Adams and Aaron Jones to their roster at much lower draft slots than the players they've turned out to be...............but the drop-off to the rest of their playmakers is huge because they've not invested in that side of the ball.     

 

We've seen over and over again that you can transform a bad defense in free agency..........but it's hard to maintain a good defense for a long period of time regardless of the investment.

 

So why use your franchise building blocks all on defense?

 

When you have a franchise QB..........you CAN build long term success on that side of the ball.

 

Packers tried to cheat the system.

 

Almost worked the past couple of seasons,  but maybe if they had been QB-centric in his prime they wouldn't be at odds with Rodgers now............and they'd have a deep enough offense that they could move on from Adams.

 

Bills need to take note of how Green Bay has messed up being blessed with the best QB in the conference for the past decade.

 

Bingo.  This.  Don’t do it Beane.

His ypc is high because that’s all dude can do. He’s a lesser version of Torrey Smith.    Run deep And hope AR puts in on him.  He’s made a handful of circus catches, he gets credit for that.  
 

tonyan was healthy to start this season and was nearly invisible.  You’d take knox all day every day 

 

who knows?  Maybe Knox has the same kind of start next year---after his single above average season.

 

MVS is doing what they ask him to do.  What else is he supposed to be doing?

The Packers have won their Division and had 13 wins 3 times the past 3 years.  They went to the NFCC game 2 of those years.  Rodgers "in his prime" led them to more than 11 wins only twice in the previous 11 seasons.  In 2020, they had the #1 Offense. The Offense around him helped him to consecutive MVPs--his last one was 7 years ago. 

 

That's not exactly "messing up" the roster.   Lafleur/Rodgers can't get to the SB, despite the massive Offensive stats, a top 10 D and all those regular season wins.  They have been eliminated, twice, by the San Francisco Garappolo's......

Yeah, who knows.  
 

They are asking him to do the only thing he can do.  Run straight, catch and run.  He’s not a good route runner….that’s why they don’t ask him to do anything else.

I'm not familiar enough with MVS's route tree to comment...

Nah.

Rodgers is the man.

 

there just comes a point…when you just can’t here the “player talk” and I begin to appreciate so much more the authentic truth that comes from these athletes.

 

even if it is in complete contrast with the “everything for the team.” Player robot speak so many of our athletes are brainwashed into.

Dude is an *** hole!! Crazy that you can back guy like that.

Give him the bonus to make $50 Mil when his team makes the Superbowl.

 

If you are making that much you should be able to carry your team to it.

"messing up the roster" are your words..........so don't put them in quotes like I said that.

 

They've just never invested heavily into Rodgers side of the ball in the draft............and while LaFleur has brought a better offense to Green Bay......... IMO Rodgers "prime" was during the McCarthy era, not his late 30's.

 

The Packers don't have a very deep or balanced offense..........Rodgers and Adams have carried them to big records playing in a feeble division..........but in the playoffs that hasn't proven to be enough against top defenses.

 

I do think Rodgers has looked tired at the end of the past two seasons.........but the fact remains he has deserved those regular season MVP's.

I am.   Getting drafted by the packers will get him paid. If he was drafted by the jets, he’d be signing a minimum $ deal.  I have no doubts

FWIW Pat MacAfee asked Rodgers about the ‘report’ via text.

 

Rodgers categorically denied it.

Good sir, this board is full of pearl clutchers who care not for reality.

Yeah, and let's not forget Green Bay has to bear some responsibility for the mess their in also.  They didn't extend A Rogers when they could have had him at the $40M mark of Mahomes and Josh.  Quite the opposite, they got cute and drafted what they thought would be Rogers replacement and let Rogers ride out his deal.

 

That oh so clever GB FO now has to deal with a mess of its own making.  They had a HOF QB, pretty much in his prime, and decided to try and draft his replacement early.  Oops.  Love lucked terrible and there is now no way to get Rogers with any kind of break now.  They have to pay market price to keep him, $50M.

No, he's literally won a Superbowl and the two most recent MVPs.

 

If Carr is worth $40M, and K Murray is North of $40M, yes, A Rogers is $50M.

Anyone who pays Murray north of 40 should be marched out of the building immediately.
