Oso planning to go pro
When he signed his contract it was above all of the guys you listed and only Goff gets as much. The QBs currently ahead of him are Mahomes, Prescott, Watson and Wilson. Mahomes, Watson and Prescott signed deals after Rodgers.If he wants to be mad because they drafted a qb without getting his approval, fine, be mad. But if he thinks the fans will rally around him like they did Favre in the summer of 2008, he’s wrong. The backlash against him is far stronger than it ever was for Bert until he went to Minnesota.
Yeah. As I stated a couple days ago, it was always a Gutey issue. And it is all about respect regarding his contract. His salary is loser to Goff, Wentz, Cousins, Tannyhill, than it is to the top guys. Any good GM would have already dealt with this. It is about respect more than money. I think any MVP caliber QB would be unhappy.
You are correct, but this is about respect mor than money.
I shouldn’t pretend to know the dynamic between him and the front office but I really don’t understand how they’ve disrespected him. This isn’t the NBA where you “need” a star. It’s such a different creature than that. If it’s about 2022, that’s right around the corner. He really can’t accept one more year and then be “free”? When he signed that deal, he knew what the future held with regard to what control Green Bay had and what control he had. That’s why Brady played out the string like he did. This is all avoided if Rodgers does the same. The Packers are beholden to 52 other players and the long term health of the organization. They’ve given him a lot of leeway and despite what people say, they’ve put a lot of talent around him. I have little doubt the front office could have done more with regards to pacifying him. He’s a diva, no one can argue that and massaging that ego of his had to be part of the front office’s duty. They misread how much that entailed. All that said, he’s the one leaking the stories, not the Packers. He looks bad and he’s out the franchise in an almost no-win situation. Time heals all wounds but when he gets traded this summer and I firmly believe that’s where this is headed, a lot of packers fans won’t welcome him back and rightly so
You may be right, but the 52 other players know full well that they will be fighting for 3rd place in the division if Love is the QB. That costs everybody 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars.
I think you guys are wrong on Gutey offering a new contract. GB has only offered a re-structure. Aaron is looking for an extension.
Rodgers wants a guaranteed long term contract . Green Bay balking at paying up. These things are always about show me the money.
I think the Packers leaked the “Rodgers wants Gutey fired” stuff because it make him look unreasonable.
Maybe, but from an outside perspective (I couldn’t care less about the Packers/NFC North and don’t live in midwest), lots of folks side with Rodgers. The Brady comparison seems apt. Constantly passing on big offensive prospects, then followed by the decision to trade up for Love. It made absolutely no sense at the time and still doesn’t. Rodgers should leave GB and he will thrive. Hilarious to watch either way!
With all the other stuff going on, I’m convinced by the end of this decade the Bears will be playing at a new stadium at Arlington Park.
How attached to Soldier Field are Bears fans? Does it have the nostalgia of a Lambeau? Or it wouldn’t be a tough sell to move from there?
