Nice alleged ultimatum reported by The Athletic...trade me or fire Gutey, hey?
I think we need a separate thread for every former Packer.
Actually, two threads - one for the fanboys and one for the critics.
I have no idea if Love is any good...kinda thinking not...
But it's pretty hard for an organization to not cover their bases when their starting QB thrives on drama every off-season. I knew the Packers were going to move on when this season started to fall apart.

My guess is 50/50. In other words, who knows.
But you are right that it was absolutely time to move on especially after what we learned in the last couple days. Despite not caring for the person - though I didn't dislike him as much as I disliked the drug addled welfare criminal - I supported him on the field. But I am glad he's gone whether we face a re-build or re-load.

rodgers is a smart guy. he knows the pack is not going to win with a guy referred to as "gutey". as a boss man myself for over 35 years, i had some employees who were with our company longer than myself. they, no doubt had something to offer and many times i listened.
rodgers had no control (or he didn't seem to) over who "gutey" and those previous to him chose, picked, traded, drafted to help the team win. i believe that to be a huge mistake. we had 2 hall of fame QB's and 2 SB wins to show for it? most of the blame lies in the front office
conclusion-shoulda listened to brett and aaron a long time ago, but the packers organization is showing itself to be just as flawed, if not more so than all of the single owner teams out there. instead of one super ego getting in the way, they have numerous. or too many chefs in the kitchen. i would have added mark murphy to the firing squad, but aaron knew his limitations. he's lucky the "peasants" of the town of green bay haven't stormed his office with pitch forks and torches.
so much for that romantic relationship of green bay and it's football team's organization. i don't think it's all it's cracked up to be. how the hell murphy has lasted as long as he has smells of old road kill. now that would be a story that would get some "clicks"

You mean the guy who put together a roster that got them to a #2 seed, #1 seed, and a #1 seed only to have their quarterback underperform in the playoffs?
Clearly the organization has some blame here - holding onto Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy too long are at the top of the list for me. But refusing to fire their GM because he drafted a quarterback causing a first ballot HOFer to get his feelings hurt? Gimme a break.

The "romantic relationship" is about 95% hype. Sure it's a wonderful story with a rich history, but these days every NFL team swims in money and the Packers are a big business both on and off the field. The reason that Murphy has lasted this long is because he runs the business side of the organization extremely well.
And the on-field product hasn't been terrible at all. I'm not going to be one of those fans who says "only two Super Bowls?" I remember my childhood and look around the NFL today and realize it can be a hell of a lot worse.

The only appropriate response to that article in the Athletic is to view it as a pr piece expressing exactly what Rodgers wanted expressed. I'd take everything in it with a Himalayan salt mine sized grain of salt.
Is some of it true? Probably. Is it some aspect of the truth? No doubt. But he's like the people in a fantasy novel who cannot tell lies so learn to be really really evasive with the truth.

Packers have lost seven home playoff games in their history. Rodgers quarterbacked four of them, including three times as the #1 seed.
Obviously this wasn't solely his fault, but the idea that the organization didn't provide him with enough is nonsense.

Look at all the Hall of Fame wide receivers Tom Brady played for.
Aaron Rodgers has had elite wide receivers, the best LT in football, an always good o-line for the most part and an effective running game. He's just a loser
Both sides can be and are true. Thompson sat out free agency year after year while other teams improved and passed them. Year after year they passed on receivers in the first round, culminating with drafting Love.
But they still had the horses to win more Super Bowls with what was given to Rodgers. The best example being the meltdown in Seattle in 2015 that had nothing to do with not providing enough support for Rodgers.
Rodgers owns his many postseason failures. And NYJ fans will experience that soon too. This honeymoon is going to end ugly there.

They Jets have a poor offensive line, he's not going to have an easy go of it.
The ideal scenario for the Packers is the Jets lose a lot of close games . That way Rodgers appears in 65 percent of snaps and Pack ends up with a nice first round draft choice in 2024.

I'm not a Rodgers fan, but it is awesome to watch the clips of him talking football and snap cuts of him instructing guys. Just anyone at that experience and historical greatness level breaking down the game is gonna be entertaining.
Also, Cobb's kids love of him is pretty adorable. Oh to be young and naive 8-)

It is telling the improvement (at least perceived) of Zach Wilson for how smart Rodgers is. He is a very intelligent football player.
Watching Hard Knocks though, the hero worship of Rodgers is a bit over the top. Even the comments from the coaches make him out to be a savior. I'm very interested to see how things go if they have a slow start.

The fawning over Rodgers on Hard Knocks has made it hard to watch. One of the things I've liked about that show in the past is how much they focus on younger and unknown players. With so much focus on Rodgers, it feels like there hasn't been as much of that this season.

I'm not a Packer's fan and really haven't followed Rodgers' career (or his interactions with his teammates) very closely. What I know of him is largely 1) extremely talented QB; 2) seems to have not won as much as would have expected in light of his talent; 3) dated that Divergent chick for a while (still?); and 4) a bit of a hippie goofball; and 5) estranged from his family. Given that, I'll admit that I was curious to see him on Hard Knocks. The first episode, I liked him quite a bit -- he seemed really helpful. But after the next couple episodes, he started reminding me of that kid in grade school who just craved attention and affirmation. Some of what he did to get it is good (e.g., helping a younger QB) some of what he did to get it is a little douchey (e.g., "did you hear that sick burn? I said, "I don't even know who you are.' It was uncombackable. Did you hear it?! Did you?").
Honestly, I didn't really know what to expect from Rodgers. After E1, I found myself thinking, "Maybe I'm going to be an Aaron Rodgers fan." At present, I'm thinking, "The dude kinda seems like a douchebag."

Just looked at the Jet's schedule. They have the Cowboys, NE, and KC up next.
They opened with a pretty ridiculously challenging slate, facing elite defenses.
It'll be interesting to see how things play out. If Rodgers is out just a couple weeks, he dodges the toughest defenses he'll face all year.
But what if they end up 3-1 after week 4 and Rodgers is back and ready to go. Do you bench Wilson after going 3-1 in such a slate.

The funniest outcome would be if they go 3-1 with Wilson, then Rodgers comes back, and they finish 6-11.

A little surprised they didn't say more during the game. They just referred to it as an ankle, and was emphasizing that x-rays were negative.
It really seems like they are pretty certain it is an Achilles injury. Which if true leaves the serious question of whether this is Rodgers' last game.

Seems like a huge stretch. A bad Jets offensive line and Rodgers almost being 40 playing a very violent game is what I'd put the blame on. Like 82 said, kind of an old man (for competitive sports anyway) injury.
Video close-up, show his Achilles wobble, speculation that it's a tear. So he could be done for the season. Who knows what that means for next year.
My question is what does that mean for the Jets salary cap situation. It was always a ticking time bomb for the Packers.

Rodgers does have a history of left calf injuries that have made him miss time, including this year.
Have to wonder if there was evidence of tendonitis or degeneration of the achilles tendon from repeated trauma that contributed to the injury.
I wonder if it is a tear, if the NFL will go back and investigate the history of the injury.
They investigated the Jets for Favre's bicep (tore it in week 11 in his 1-year with the Jets and then they covered it up for the ret of the year).
I don't trust NFL doctors for overlooking something like that.

Pretty slim pickings out there. Glad the Pack peddled his azz before this happened in GB
Zach Wilson wouldn't be the first quarterback ever to have a very rough start to his career only to resurrect it after unforeseen circumstances give him the opportunity to do so.
He didn't show much last night at first, but he looked better as the game went on and as Jets coaches let him throw more than screens.
I am NOT saying he's gonna be great or even good. Maybe adequate, which might be all the Jets need with that defense?
Unfortunately for him, it didn't look like the Jets had a very good OL - and an inexperienced QB playing behind a mediocre line is not a great recipe.

It's a weird spot. Rodgers was really the perfect fit for them cause they have 2 very good RBs and a very serviceable third as well as one of the best young WRs in all of football. But they also have a porous OL. So a savvy veteran QB used to getting the ball out quick can utilize and guide the talents of the former while minimizing the latter. But it's not necessarily a fit for any veteran (for example Wentz would be a DISASTER there IMO). So might as well roll with the younger guy who at least knows your system

I know he can't say that. But saying that "under no circumstances" seems likely to be a false statement, unless Wilson shows something he's never shown in any consistent way before (i.e. competence).
Perhaps just say "Zach is our starting quarterback" and leave it there.

But was he though?
Capable of getting the ball out quick? Absolutely. In the habit of doing so? Absolutely not.
I would venture that any realistic grading of his sacks put a decent number on his shoulders after having decided to hold the ball too long in the hopes that he could either find a window that comes open late or out of a refusal to force a higher-risk-of-INT shot. His season and perhaps his career ended on exactly that, a designed 3-step drop quick hitter that saw the OT go for a cut block and the decision to hold the ball too long and then a sack. GB fans saw that exact play (albeit w/o the catastrophic injury) happen dozens of times

I think when you have a shot at a premium player at a very premium position - you take him.
Great three technique DLs are hare to find. Certainly exponentially harder to find that a good WR or right tackle. Aaron Donald, Chris Jones, Quinnen Williams type players don't grow on trees.
Everyone agrees that the single biggest weakness on the bears last year was the defensive front. Yet they pass on a possible generational type DL; the consensus best player in the draft.
They said when they traded Roquan last year that an off ball defender at linebacker was not important in the defensive scheme so instead of worrying about the defensive line, they spent their money on more linebackers. Edmunds is an outstanding player who made zero difference on Sunday because of the anemic offensive line. GB has a good OL with 3 high quality players, but they aren't THAT good. People are raving about the game that Love played, but Sunday against the Bears was no tougher than a Wednesday afternoon practice when Love wears a red jersey.

I think you're oversimplifying this.
Under normal circumstances, Carter is a top 3-4 pick and gets nowhere near the Bears. But his circumstances weren't normal and several of other teams who could use a good 3-tech (Seattle, Houston, Arizona, Vegas) also took a pass on him.
Carter was a walking red flag. His issues go beyond his driving.
If his problems don't resurface, the Eagles got a great talent at #10 overall. Good for them. And him.
But the teams that passed on him had good reasons for doing so, not just because they're all stooopid.
He's one game into his NFL career. Give it a couple years before rendering a verdict.

Quote from: Pakuni on September 12, 2023, 04:10:09 PM
I think you're oversimplifying this.
Under normal circumstances, Carter is a top 3-4 pick and gets nowhere near the Bears. But his circumstances weren't normal and several of other teams who could use a good 3-tech (Seattle, Houston, Arizona, Vegas) also took a pass on him.
Carter was a walking red flag. His issues go beyond his driving.
If his problems don't resurface, the Eagles got a great talent at #10 overall. Good for them. And him.
But the teams that passed on him had good reasons for doing so, not just because they're all stooopid.
He's one game into his NFL career. Give it a couple years before rendering a verdict.
Maybe I am oversimplifying, but Carter was the consensus as the #1 player in the draft - at a position that was the #1 need for the Bears (unless that would be at QB). He obviously fell over the red flags.
Whoops.

Sure, but there were huge red flags, as mentioned, the Bears weren't the only team to pass on him. So passing on him isn't some indictment of "same old front office" like you implied, for a FO that inherited a mess with a lot of holes and a ton of work to do. Also, I'm not sure the DL was the consensus biggest weakness when the OL was allowing anyone behind them to be slaughtered.
I'll rail on Poles for the Claypool f-up. But not for being cautious when an enigma played one good game in a tiny sample set
Jets fans just need to do one thing, obviously.
R-E-L-A-X.

I agree and said it at the time. Before the red flags Carter was considered the best player in the draft. If the Bears were going to hold on to #1 he would have been their guy. Taking him at #9 alongside all the other pieces they got for the #1 had the potential to turn their draft into a home run. A gamble, yes - but one worth taking imo.

Interesting read, thanks for posting link.
Amazing that Rodgers only made 4 snaps in a Jets uniform... well 5 if you count his Achilles.
Not my joke, but I couldn't resist.
In all seriousness, he should probably just retire. The fact that he hasn't come out and said anything yet... leads me to believe this is what he will do.
I feel bad for the guy.

His mobility was an issue heading into his age-39 season. Now? With a torn Achilles? I have my doubts.
AR has always been good on a boot-leg.
Why is this being used as an example for the need to get rid of turf? A 39 year old who has had a history of foot and calf injuries had all of his pressure being put into the back of his foot while a giant human was jumping on him.

Cuz that's how the NFL overreacts. One injury to Brady caused them to change the rules on QB hits.

Apparently Rogers was already quite unhappy with play calling with the Jets, because they wanted him getting the ball out quick, instead of him just extending plays and hoping for something to develop. Some reports that he was just changing things he didn't like.
If all of that is true, it kind of reinforces where the issues may lie. He complained about the Packers play calling and changed things he didn't like, went to the Jets and apparently ran into the same problem. Maybe he should have followed play-plans and get the ball out quick.

Which is surprising because Hackett was basically his handpicked guy. Although, after Hard Knocks, I'm not sure Sean Payton was wrong in his comments, just shouldn't have said them out loud.
Someone asked Lafleur how many times Love changed the play and ran something that wasn't called, and the answer was 0.

Rodgers' first statement since the injury:
"Thank you to every person that has reached out, called, texted, DM'd, connected through a friend, etc.," he said. "It has meant a ton to me, and I'll try and get back to all of you soon. I'm completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today. The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again."

Here's how it happens: Vikings start off 0-3; Kirk Cousins is in the last year of his contract, so they trade Cousins to the Jets for Rodgers and Zach Wilson (with maybe some other players involved to balance the deal). Wilson finishes out the Vikings season (which is already ruined by the 0-3 start) as starter, then Rodgers takes over next year. Meanwhile, the Jets plug in Cousins to take them to the playoffs this season, a season that they are already "all-in" for. They move forward with Cousins on a new deal after this year, or they're free to chase their next savior for the future.

IMO, it depends how the season goes. If they win like the early 2000s Ravens because of defense and/or lean on their stable of RBs and Wilson is truly a game manager, then I could see it.
But if they win 10/11/12 games and Wilson is playing like a talented 2nd year guy, then I don't think it's automatic.
Given that he's currently 1/2 for 9 yards and a sack midway through the second quarter, I think the latter scenario is unlikely
The sack early in the game by Micah Parsons on Wilson should give Rodgers some pause on trying to come back this year , with the Jets current offensive line . Parson came at full speed with no one stopping him.

I have my doubts he can make it back given his age but saying he can is as much a motivator for the team to keep finding ways to win and make it in type of stuff
0% chance. The lil' diva just needs some attention.

That was my thought exactly. But honestly, I don't think one really knows how good or bad he is. When your offensive line is as bad as the Jets, any QB is going to look like crap. Especially going against a D-line like the Cowboys.
Take a look at the Jets schedule and you'll see why I said no chance.

Look at the track record:
Rodgers no-showed in two consecutive home playoff games.
Jan 2021 --- Tom Brady has a 6th Super Bowl because TB12 could throw THREE 2nd half INTS at Lambeau and AR12 couldn't capitalize.
Jan 2022 --- The Quarterback couldn't score 14 points at home to beat the Niners.
Last season he did not have one 300 yard passing game.
His play has told on him for 2+ years. Despite all this the Jets went all in. And now the bill has come due. Surprise, you're broke.
Not my problem.

Look at the track record:
Rodgers no-showed in two consecutive home playoff games.
Jan 2021 --- Tom Brady has a 6th Super Bowl because TB12 could throw THREE 2nd half INTS at Lambeau and AR12 couldn't capitalize.
Jan 2022 --- The Quarterback couldn't score 14 points at home to beat the Niners.
Last season he did not have one 300 yard passing game.
His play has told on him for 2+ years. Despite all this the Jets went all in. And now the bill has come due. Surprise, you're broke.
Anyone that knows ball knows he wasn't worth the change he was gettin'
Quote from: Uncle Rico on November 25, 2023, 06:18:15 PM
It's all about keeping his name in the headlines and stroking that ego.
Somebody <ahem> predicted that even if his injury were season ending that Rodgers would pretend that he was taking it week to week just for the attention. When he went down with the Achilles tear I thought there's no way he could sell a possiblity of return, but boy was I wrong. I honestly think he's just toying with the national media on this one.
(side note, I do think the BFR rehab stuff he's doing is one of the 'next frontiers' in orthopedic surgical recovery. I don't know that in and of itself it will be sufficient to shorten the recovery time of this particular injury to the point where he could realistically play this season)
I have never liked AROD as a person and soured on ability to win big games a very long time ago. Aside from playoff games, his record against top teams in the league did not match his superstar status, IMO. Great talent, not a big game winner and a miserable person and I was happy to see him to leave.
His "return" talk could have been predicted by anyone that has ever heard him speak. I hope he does come back for he "playoff push" and I will be cheering very hard against him. I said on here years ago that Arod was not a competitor and I stick to that. He was an unreal talent that was not wired to be a big game winner.
Is it Jets leadership shut him down against his will? Or a setback? Or "People misconstrued my words and I never said I'd be back this year, just try to?
It looked pretty clear on the video that his Achilles tore. I have a hard time believing a 39 year old was able to recover a month or two faster than anyone else in the NFL has.

I completely get being ultimately disappointed in how a lot of his seasons turned out, but "not wired to be a be a big game winner" as opposed to who? Outside of Brady and Montana, there are a lot of guys who played poorly in bad games and/or just had better teams built around them.

Agreed that very few are wired to be a big game winner and Aaron Rodgers is now amongst the few.

He was great against Atlanta and in the Super Bowl and a concussed mess in Chicago
The Lens
Trust me, as an anti Rodgers guy I used that argument way too many times. That said, he played great against Atlanta and Pittsburgh.
Interceptions by the defense played very big roles in the SB year. All I know, I am happy he was our QB for many years, but never totally bought into the hype because all time greats win games in my book.

Jets fans up here are getting to be fed up with him and he's only played four snaps. Basically, all the people he brought along with him have been horrible and the prevailing opinion is that the only reason Hackett and Saleh are still employed by the Jets is because of him, at least among my Jet fan buddies and local talk radio.
Saleh is welcome in Green Bay to coach the defense
Maybe Detroit outbids GB.

I think Saleh got a raw deal and went along with the GM and owner. His defense is playing at an elite level and there is talent at the skill positions. The front office didn't fix the line but spent money on Lazard that was a complete waste.
They're screwed. Rodgers isn't coming back to play next year for a rebuild in NYC. If they trade for Adams, the franchise is screwed for awhile.
Packers held onto him for too long. Just imagine if they brought him back like some wanted to. Mind-boggling to me anyone thought that was a good idea
I will say, Aaron was very complimentary of Jordan today. For as big a sh!tbag as he is, that doesn't seem to extend to Love.

Saleh is a dead man walking and it really has zero to do with his abilities as a HC. He's still a young guy in coaching circles. Best thing for him would be getting canned. Go be a DC for a year or two at worst, and get another shot at being a HC, hopefully in a non snakebit organization, before he's even 50.

I don't disagree with anything that's been said here about Rodgers, but it feels like everyone is taking this out of context.
He said it wasn't realistic to get cleared at 100%. He also said if they were in contention, he'd play at far less than 100%. I think we all knew that he wasn't going to be 100% this year. That doesn't mean he was lying about trying to play if they had a few more wins.
Of course, it is Rodgers we're talking about so maybe he was. But that's not how I read it.

Rodgers is purposely provoking this fight so espn tells McAfee to cut him off or "silence him" on these topics so Aaron can play the victim card and yell "cancel culture".
To be honest, he didn't really go off the deep end until the vaccination nonsense in 2021, but he played well enough that season so people just let it pass. Prior to that he was a diva-ish NFL quarterback, no different than a number of them.
But after last year, everyone was ready to move on. And unlike with Favre, there hasn't been any sort of backlash from the fanbase.

I think he mis-calculated the reaction from the fanbase with his temper tantrum prior to the '21 draft. He figured he'd get the same response Favre got in '08 when he took over and he was wrong.
Yesterday was pretty selfish by both he and Hawk. AJ knew what he was doing by bringing up the flight logs and he knew Aaron would take the bait. Aaron knows Kimmel is a Disney sacred cow. Now McAfee is going to be faced with losing his show or having to cut ties with 12.
I don't understand why they need to put McAfee in that situation.
He threw a friend of his under the bus on national television during the vaccination issue. He doesn't care about Pat McAfee.

In all honesty, the bar for a public figure to win a defamation suit is really high. I don't know that I would advise Kimmel to pull that trigger.
The other wrinkle here (not to get all Epstein-conspiracy-ish here) is that the composition of the "Epstein List" is not what internet people seem to think it is. It's not a list of suspects, or a list of accused bad actors, or a list of clients, or a list of friends, or even a list of casual associates. It's a list of more or less everyone who's name came up in any context during the course of the investigation without regard for *why* their name came up.
Victims? On the list.
Witnesses? On the list.
Potential abusers? On the list.
People's names mentioned without any connection to the proceedings (e.g. "I remember that day clearly because I was watching the Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel doing a bit as Karl Malone and then I <blah blah blah>")? You betcha, on the list.
Assuming it ever gets disclosed, and assuming the disclosure does not come with significant contextualization, it's going to be a total dumpster fire.

How ESPN handles McAfee will be interesting. He's a likeable and funny guy, but he's not real bright. And his success so far has just been his unfiltered schtick. He's had some good guidance business wise, but not much PR/content guidance. And its gonna come back to bite him, as we are seeing.
He's really not much for extended/mid term consideration in his decision making. I remember a couple things he did early on, when he was still tied with Barstool, that left Portnoy/Barstool flabbergasted. Doing stuff that was funny/for the vibes, with no consideration for how it could hurt his brand. Blowing money at a level he didn't have on dumb stuff. Poor decision making cause he thought people were hilarious/cool. The way he's handled Rodgers the whole time is completely unsurprising even before this. He clearly thinks Rodgers is soooo cool and smart and edgy that he falls all over him and for all his BS. And Rodgers is smart and manipulative enough to know a mark.
With all due respect, almost everything I've read says the opposite.

He's a dope, but he's ESPN's foray into trying to capture the market of Barstool fans (e.g., the worst bros imaginable, but I guess even the worst bros imaginable buy alcohol, gambling services, and weird brain pills, so that's some ads they can try to sell). The real question will be: "Is cracking that market segment worth more than the PR headache of what is necessary to do so?" If the answer to that question is "yes," then McAfee sticks around to continue his off brand Barstool act. If the answer is "no," then he doesnt.
Oh I think the answer is yes. I think they are overall pleased with McAfee.

Its no coincidence that McAfee got poached from another gambling service around the time ESPNBet came about. Until that is viewed as a failure (which I don't think is any time soon), he's not going anywhere. They will just reign him in a bit here and there if needed. He's the perfect fit for the meathead gambling bro that LOVES talking about gambling and thats become a HUGE market.
I thought he was great for awhile. But he's become so absurdly formulaic. If you follow him on X, he repeats the same jokes and tropes over and over (aka his overblown Pittsburgh accent thing) with little originality. It didn't sour me on him, but it made me kind of sick of him. However, it doesn't really seem like his appeal has dimmed at all. I will say he's better on GameDay than he is on his own.
I worked with Pat when he was an unknown / sometimes troublesome punter in Indy. He's always been great content. He was the 5th wheel on a Colts show and he always shined the brightest.
I've tracked his rise and it's been a rocket ship bc I know what I was paying him in 2013 and what he asked for in 2019 and to see him now 100 fold is incredible. He has a knack for understanding what an audience wants but that does come at the expense of his bosses. Hawk was very complicit in the Kimmel thing (it's obviously a hot topic on Packers alum text string bc of what Bakhtiari posted the day before). I kinda think Pat knew what was coming and didn't think out the repercussions. He continues to be only audience driven. It's going to bite him.
FWIW, my 15 year old son thinks McAfee has saved Gameday, made it relevant again.

I can take him or leave him. But for that genre, he is above average.

While true, I am also pretty much set in my ways. This is why target demographics are usually 18-49.
I am not a fan of his hot take stuff, but Nick Wright's take on Rodgers is 100% spot on:
https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/2024/01/05/6597364ae2704e859e8b456c.html
Paraphrasing him, but just imagine a universe where Steph Curry goes on Dan Patrick's show, and just casually accuses Julia Roberts of murder. In any other universe, the story wouldn't be the future of the Dan Patrick show, or what is NBC gonna do about this Dan Patrick thing, rather, people would be concerned about Steph Curry, but Rodgers gets a pass because he has been slow playing this conspiracy thing for years.

I mean, we literally have a "heath care professional" who talked about the freedom that a vaccine would give everyone, whose tune changed when a portion of the internet started talking about it negatively.
We have another "heath care professional" who was pushing a whack-job treatment and loudly proclaimed that the studies will show its effectiveness, but when it actually shows the opposite, is nowhere to be found.

I wouldn't be so sure. Its not a random producer/empty suit. Norby and his hilarious name is actually a BSD, a total made man. Pretty sure he was the original/first producer of SportsCenter and has been the head of all studio stuff for like 20 years. Not sure thats the dude Pat wants to clumsily take shots at, especially when the issue at question is a bad look on PMS. But more likely it just means Rodgers is no longer a recurring guest and Pat gets an internal chewing out while still looking "badass" to his fans

Being able to follow steps to change a tire or drive stick does not make you a smart person.

Sir, the call is coming from inside the house
The top voice on ESPN (James Miller, wrote the Oral History of ESPN) has always called Norby a cockroach. No one can kill him. He's been minimized at times but always comes back stronger. Regardless of regime, Norby always re-emerges.
Pat is a Iger guy but so is Kimmel. I don't see how this ends well for Pat. You'll get paid well to eat a lot of innings for ESPN (3 hours a day / 5 days a week / 50 weeks a year) but you're not their late night host. He's the face of the network along with 1-2 GMA hosts. McAfee needs to shut up if he wants to stay with ESPN.
And I'll concede he can succeed without ESPN. He's already done it.
Would be helpful to Packers cause if Jets lost. Pack has Jets 2nd Round pick this year .

They don't make the playoffs if he's back this year. Egoless team was perfect for the particular Packers team. Wouldn't work always, but for this team, yes.

There has been a lot of talking since Sunday about how LaFleur's gameplan was brilliant against the Cowboys, and how Love performed to that plan versus changing from it all the time like Rodgers would. Nick Bosa even mentioned it yesterday.
Chris Simms was talking about that it was short-sighted from Rodgers not to fully embrace this offense.
Even talk about how Gutey has done such a good job surrounding Love with young receivers.
It was inevitable that some pro-Rodgers story would then surface. It always does.

Quote
i had an assistant(note-past tense) who turned to me and said that she had a very dear friend who was fighting breast cancer and very typically, was loosing her hair during the chemo phase of treatment. she proceeded to tell me that she wanted to shave her head to be "in unity" with her during this very trying time of her friends life. i did commended her for her loyalty, but then suggested to her(very strongly) that there may be a few other ways to honor her friend. my sympathies were truly with her friend, but i could not allow my (ex)employee(s) to use my place of business to show everyone else that she "cared".
she is not, not with me anymore because of that issue, but think next crazy thought or move and you'll understand why i almost started cutting myself again
am i against people fighting breast cancer because i "strongly" suggesting she NOT shave her head? absolutely not. i have had a number of friends and family members fight this fight. if my assistant would have asked me if she could've worn a pink ribbon on her scrubs, maybe even with her friends name on it, i could have considered that. the head shaving thing, however, could generate more questions than answers. the last thing i needed was for us having to explain to everyone who walks in to our office why i've got an employee looking like prymaat conehead
Quote from: rocket surgeon on September 11, 2021, 05:20:36 PM
that is a lie!!! i never fired her for this. i fired her for not wanting to work 35 hours per week. had nothing to do with hair styles for her "supposed friend" she never pursued it and i never brought it up again. you c@^ks*c#ers just can't get over this and keep trying to censor me with it. so ya'll can stop with the bullsh!ttt

dude, my wife is bald right now just finishing chemo #6 of 12...i am obviously her biggest fan, best friend and husband of 35 years as of last week. shaving my head was not going to make her feel any better. even though i am naturally getting close to being kinda challenged on top of the melon. does shaving one's head in solidarity with another help the other OR is it a "feel good" move, directing attention to oneself? i think the later and that is one of the reasons i was not a big fan of MY employee using her "cause" to create a potential distraction in OUR workplace
but just to be clear, i would have gladly provided her with a wig
and she could do whatever she wanted to do on her free time
but as many businesses have a few codes of conduct, uniform, and dress codes-i just did not want her "selfless" and "noble
statement" to distract from our focus on our patients
i did not want to hear her or any of us have to explain all day long, to every patient, why my assistant is bald. oh, you must be
such a thoughtful, caring and...blah blah blah... i did NOT prevent her from shaving her head
but as i stated above, i would have provided her with a wig just as i would have provided a
shirt for someone who wanted to go topless for their friends battle with whatever.

Probably hard to coach someone who thinks he is smarter than everyone. Probably hard to get an offense on the same page when your QB changes every call.
Who would want to try to coach a guy like that?
Imagine if you had an employee that you told to do X but instead did Y every day. Sometimes Y worked, but everyone at work was expecting him to do X. And then you ask him to do X if at all possible and yet all he ever does is Y because that's how he has always done it. Not only this, but this particular employee is frustrated that you and the rest of the employees don't just do Y every time since that's how he has always done it and it has always worked in the past. How would you respond as this employee's supervisor.

Quote from: The Sultan of Semantics on January 18, 2024, 07:59:29 AM
There has been a lot of talking since Sunday about how LaFleur's gameplan was brilliant against the Cowboys, and how Love performed to that plan versus changing from it all the time like Rodgers would. Nick Bosa even mentioned it yesterday.
Chris Simms was talking about that it was short-sighted from Rodgers not to fully embrace this offense.
Even talk about how Gutey has done such a good job surrounding Love with young receivers.
It was inevitable that some pro-Rodgers story would then surface. It always does.
The Bosa Quote:

Remember last year when the Packers were in a win or go home game at Lambeau Field against the Lions and Rodgers lead the Packers offense to 16 points and his last pass was a wounded duck interception?
LaFleur should have called the "don't throw a wounded duck into double coverage" play.

And the year prior against the Niners where all he was doing at the end was throwing prayers up to a double-covered Davante?
The Packers knew they were moving on before last season even began.

At this point, it's obvious Rodgers has long-term COVID and his brain function is suffering.
It's pretty obvious Rodgers neutered some of the creativity in MLF's offense. He didn't like motion or playing uptempo. Couple that with his trust issues of anyone not named Davante, and things started to get stagnant.
It sounds like Love's willingness to run the offense as called and not ice out receivers is paying big dividends.

Running a modern offense without motion is a recipe for losing.

thank you for putting this subject back into play and showing it in its full context. as you can see, i handled that perfectly
do you enjoy being a d!c all the time or just when you feel anonymous here cuz i doubt you would get away with much face to face or would have the balls to say half your chit to someones face
Literally just quoted your own words my man. So if it's so offensive, you should probably do some self reflection.
For the record, I do agree that it is incredibly offensive. Keep in mind, you are the one who wrote those things.
Couple of questions pop up when rereading your post.
1) Was she going to shave her head in one of your office's seats? How was she "using your business to show everyone else that she cared?"
2) Do you typically ask women you come across that don't have hair why they don't? Do you ask them if they are going through chemo? If not, then how would she be generating more questions than answers? And what answers is she generating in the first place?
3) Do you think all females that lose their hair going through chemo look like prymaat coneheads? Do you tell them you think that way of them?
4) Do you typically find that people with no hair distract employees from focusing on your patients?
The funny thing is that you claim other people are trying to censor you...while defending yourself for threatening your employee if she expressed herself in a way you did not like.

Keeps his teeth white, keeps his imagination active, keeps him Covid-free, and ensures that he'll never need a veterinarian to de-worm him.

As someone who was a fan of Saleh before Rodgers arrived, I think it was a combination of excitment at having a real QB, which he never had prior, and also realizing his season/job was tied to Rodgers whether he liked it or not, so might as well go full fledged into the bandwagon

I agree, Wags.
But there has to be a clear line in the heirarchy between the coach and the star player. That is maybe the biggest reason Gutey was done with rodgers.
Wasn't just Gutey. The whole organization from the Board of Directors to Mark Murphy to the people cutting the grass were done with him. A lot of the themes in that Athletic article were very similar.
I was pretty shocked how little contact he had with Wilson once injured.

Oh absolutely, but the difference from GB was I get the impression that the deference and canonization of Rodgers went above Saleh which also lead to some of his almost mandated starry-eyed demeanor.

I always liked Saleh and thought he was a victim of hitching his HC horse to one of the sick men franchises in the Jets. He doesn't look good in this article though. Can't say I wouldn't take him as a DC.

Yes, if there is one thing Aaron Rodgers hates, it's media attention.
Also, 9.5 out of 10

No, I don't think he likes the media circus. He ADORES it. He goes on a media tour every week. Perhaps you've heard of the Pat MacAfee show?
Anyone who 'doesn't like the media circus' hides from it. Doesn't engage with it.
Don't be silly, man. Rodgers thrives on controversy and attention.

Yeah ... buzzwords are so woke. They're fake news made up by the lamestream media. Buzzwords are for socialist libtards. No patriot who supports our true president - the one who fights for us and heroically tried to stop the steal and who is now trying to free U.S. hostages - would ever use buzzwords. These days, it's as if buzzwords are flooding across the border in caravans of rapists and Fentanyl dealers. Good thing states' rights and law-and-order can save the day for everyone, including frozen embryos that enjoy the protection of personhood. Freedom!

no I haven't spoken with him either. my words are an opinion.

Anyway, Rodgers absolutely goes out of his way to garner media attention. Look at the end of last year when he talked about coming back earlier than predicted from his injury. Only to not only NOT come back, but turns out that he was never really that close. He was out of the spotlight, and went out of his way to put himself right back in it.
I mean the guy was going on a weekly show and intentionally saying provocative and/or passive aggressive crap for years. You don't think he did that to get his name in the headlines?
Believe it or not, professional athletes even of his stature can lead fairly low-key lives. He has never been one to do that.

Hogwash. He is constantly in the media spotlight because of conscious decisions he makes to be in the spotlight. He dates race car drivers, actresses, and members of high society. He shows up to events, games, and has a weekly guest appearance on a very popular show. Do you think he does any of these things because he wants to stay out of the media spotlight? Are you seriously this stupid? Aaron says all of this stuff specifically to garner attention for himself. It's why he ran on to the field with the American flag. Literally everything the man does is to draw attention to himself. HE EVEN CONSIDERED RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT WITH RFK JR. A truly humble person wouldn't do that.
Furthermore, what comments has Aaron Rodgers made that have "NOT made the press"? Is he whispering sweet nothings in your ear? Where would you be getting this information IF NOT FOR THE PRESS.
Then again, maybe you are dumb enough to think you know the 'real' Aaron Rodgers. Since you spend so much time with him, or somehow read things he says that aren't in the press???????????????????????
Then again, you've proven time and time again, that you're barely intellectually functional. Maybe someone should get you a scoop of vanilla.

Hey, he's just asking questions. Good to see he continues to eliminate distractions for the Jets and just focus on football like he said when the offseason started.
It's weird that being able to meet and develop relationships with anyone in the world, being afforded the resources to pursue any goal, to be motivated by any thing, and he so desperately wants to be Joe Rogan and what animates in the desperate desire for the same people who think Joe Rogan is smart to tell him that he is smart.

Aaron Rodgers is skipping all of Jets mandatory minicamp this week because he prefers to be somewhere else away from football. That's his choice.
Just a guy who wants to focus on football and eliminate distractions.
Maybe that achilles didn't actually heal in 10 days so they're just lying to cover up.

The entire Packers' organization deserves credit for how they managed this bozo because the entire Jets organization just doesn't seem to know how to deal with this. I honestly thought he would be more bought in when he got a fresh start, but it has just gotten so much worse.
So is Saleh the prez of the ARod fan club or just a run-of-the-mill fanboy?
On Tuesday, Jets coach Robert Saleh surprised everyone (except Aaron Rodgers) by saying that Rodgers was an "inexcused" absence for the mandatory minicamp. Saleh wasn't asked about the "very important event" that caused Rodgers to choose something else over a mandatory workday.
Saleh returned to the podium on Wednesday. It took a little while to get to the elephant not in the room. When Saleh was finally asked about Rodgers, he got three questions.
Have you talked to Aaron yesterday or today? "No, I haven't."
Tyrod Taylor (who ran the offense in Rodgers's absence) only found out about the absence yesterday. Why is that? "It's a one-on-one conversation [with Rodgers], it's not something the team needed to know about."
Did Aaron know the team was going to call his absence unexcused? "Aaron and I are on the exact same page.
I think he is just trying to manage a situation that is ridiculous.

I remember Anne Richards using it against GW Bush back when he was first running for president. At any rate it doesn't apply to Aaron Rodgers in any sense since in sports you have to earn what you get, so he wasn't "born on 3rd base" in the first place. You can say that GW Bush was born on third base because he was born into a rich family with important political connections, which would certainly give him a gigantic leg up on his competitors.

Yea, we did this last year during Hard Knocks too. I think Saleh knows he has no choice but to try and get everything he can out of Rodgers, for better or for worse, and that means having to cheerlead him a bit cause thats what Rodgers craves and a 40 year old QB with that ego isn't changing.

That plus Rodgers had a reputation for being eccentric and some of his stripes came out over the whole "my magic water immunized me against covid" nonsense he pulled, but he hadn't really gone full mask off like he has since the trade. The podcast with Aubrey Marcus where he waxes about the universe he saw on his ayuhasca retreat might have been before the trade, but the full IDW heel turn has been after leaving GB.
Saleh probably thought he was getting a weirdo curmudgeon who had a couple years left in the tank. What he got was a lunatic increasingly untethered from reality with an achilles that failed immediately. Who knows what he gets this season. No doubt with the benefit of hindsight, he might not think the same things he thought about acquiring Rodgers now that he did when the trade went through.

What he got was a lunatic increasingly untethered from reality with an achilles that failed immediately. Who knows what he gets this season. No doubt with the benefit of hindsight, he might not think the same things he thought about acquiring Rodgers now that he did when the trade went through.
To be fair to Rodgers, Russell Wilson's water cured his concussions

The "immunized" incident may have been the time when the PUBLIC perception of him changed, but there were obviously signs that he had a difficult personality even before that. He is a complex person for sure.
I actually wonder if he'll be the guy never to come back to Green Bay. Everyone knew Favre would be back. Not sure about him.

I feel he was starting to get some eye rolls toward the end of the McCarthy era.
Jets and Panthers did joint workout yesterday. Rodgers got picked off twice. By the Panthers. He's doomed.

He was. For the most part I think all GB fans knew he was a jamoke, but he kept playing well enough that his jamoke-ness could be overlooked.
It's the classic thing where your off-field issues can be tolerated for as long as they don't eclipse your on-field performance. When that balance starts to go the other way though...

Not sure Green Bay fans knew he was "inept" but I'm assuming you meant a diva/weirdo.
But even then most Green Bay fans I knew at any pointing out of his personal shortcomings would say you had Rodgers derangement syndrome.

Yeah, every Packer fan thought he hung the moon up until he left. I don't see anything wrong with that. But to claim GB fans had soured on him years ago is a full history rewrite. (Maybe there are secret Packer fan clubs that met to air their concerns but are sworn to a Illuminati oath to not make public.)

I think a fair number of fans had second thoughts about him as a dude, while still appreciating what he did on the field.

Plus, until Lafleur was hired, he developed some pretty bad habits that lead to poor results. His footwork was pretty bad.
Also, that and he was switching the play all the time. Even under Lafleur the offense ran better when Rodgers was bought in. I think they changed it quite a bit to Rodgers' liking (far less motion) his last year and it was a mess.

"Making a comeback from that kind of injury isn't easy for any player, but Rodgers is now 40 years old. Due to his age and the severity of the injury, there are many who don't think the future Hall of Fame quarterback can get back to playing at the level he was before the injury."
I don't think that's even a realistic possibility. That doesn't mean he can't be effective. (See Tom Brady in Tampa.)

Everyone knew he was a weirdo. Not everyone knew exactly how weird, but anyone who claims they thought he was a swell down to earth old chum is lying.
Everyone was cool with him being a weirdo because he was an mvp quality qb. When the quality dipped, the tolerance for his weirdness went down.
This isn't complicated.

"It's given me a lot of high doses of self-love, forgiveness, and gentleness — things that have really made a big impact on my life."

He's a jackass. But he is our jackass.
When he went to New York, he became their jackass. We didn't care anymore.
When Tom Brady went to Tampa, I could not believe the number of Patriots fans in Florida who were suddenly Tampa Bay fans. It was incredible.
Green Bay fans would never do that.

Green Bay fans wouldn't do that because Rodgers won a single Super Bowl, had an all time great QB before Rodgers, seem to have another very good QB after Rodgers, and Brady didn't burn bridges on his way out of town.
If the Rodgers had won 6 Super Bowls in Green Bay, I think Packers fans would happily root for his success in NY.

Favre's "aw shucks" personality, and his go-for-broke nature meant that he was always going to be more popular than Rodgers. Also it helped that he was one of the key parts of the franchise's renaissance. Of course the Mississippi stuff has put a wet blanket on a lot of that.
Rodgers was always more reserved and more prickly. The "immunized" nonsense just reinforced a lot of the uneasy feelings that people already had about him. He is complicated figure - he has done a lot of stuff to help people that he wanted no credit for. But at the same time he has thrown long-time friends under the bus for the slightest of slights.
I don't know. The "not sure I will be back for another season" routine with Farve got kind of old.

I was a bit too young to truly tap into it at the time, but Favre feels like he also gave the vibe (and given his partying predilections, likely the evidence) that you could find yourself throwing back beers with him at a bar in GB. I don't think Rodgers ever gave that vibe, even with his smirking with a beer at a Bucks game.
Obviously everyone is beloved when they are winning, but I feel like Favre had more of a baseline likability at the time.

Look, I don't want bad things to happen to ARod (some would say being a Jet is the worst thing that could have happened to him). I'm happy for the joy he brought to Green Bay. But as a rooting interest, he's dead to me.

Yeah, Rodgers at his worst is the best QB the Jets have had in a long time. Based on the highlights I saw, he looked very good. It will be interesting to see what he looks like in Week 8 and later.

As a Jets fan, a team who has had a roughly ten-year stretch where a regular journeyman below average QB who could just make the simplest basic throws was too much to ask for, these three Rogers games are like a miracle.

This isn't a Jets thing. This is what a 40 year old quarterback looks like when he's not playing the Titans and Patriots thing. Look at his '22 stats and results and you'll see what I mean. And that was two years and a torn achilles ago.
And the bad weather yesterday doesn't help. His work late in his Packer career when the weather was bad wasn't great.

I don't know that Jets fans are delusional. The feeling has been that with competent QB play, the Jets would have been pretty good the past few years, and they were abysmal. I wasn't expecting vintage Aaron Rodgers. I was expecting an above average QB which I thought was the missing piece.
But the Jets will always be Jetting. Porous O-line and a 40 year old QB and the most unimaginative OC possible is a recipe for failure. And even yesterday, he is light years better than what they've trotted out the past few years. That loss really hurt their playoff chances, though.

Inoculated!
Of course Davante didn't make a difference. Rodgers is 23rd in QBR, and 24th in both passer rating and yards per attempt. He can still make decent throws now and again, but he is done. Early last night he was throwing everything short and it was working. When the Steelers started defending receivers closer to the line, he couldn't do anything.
I think its becoming clear that a good portion of his resurgence in 2020 and 2021 was due to playing in a more dynamic offense. But he was too stubborn to understand that, and these are the results.

I keep looking at their schedule and see a lot of easy games but maybe they're an easy game for their opponents.
I'm not sure I'd trust the Jets offensive staff to recognize how to properly use Rodgers at this point either, not taking into account his stubbornness.
And the defense is clearly overrated. Good pieces but not one I think can carry a mediocre offense.
Yeah they have the 27th easiest remaining schedule. But they would have to go 8-2...maybe 7-3 with some breaks...to get in the playoffs but I'm not sure I see that happening. Like you, I don't see anything that suggests that there is a spark of something there and its just been a bad break or two. They just don't look good.
Crazier things though...
I definitely hope that Rodgers and the Jets do not make the playoffs, but I am not going to be happy until they are eliminated. As others have said, they play a crazy easy schedule the rest of the way and anything is possible.

Yup. Almost all of Rodgers' yardage last night came on 3-yard passes that his receivers turned into big-gainers. Most of the passes he tried more than 10 yards downfield were either incomplete or intercepted.

Yeah, and it's also not like they have looked great against any of the lesser teams they've played so far. Are the Steelers and Broncos really that good of teams?
If anything, as the pressure ramps up, I picture Rodgers doubling down on the outdated offense and force feeding Adams due to his preferences.

And one of the reasons their remaining schedule is so soft is that the Dolphins have been so bad without Tua. If he comes back and can just play competently, those two games (Dec. 8 and Jan. 5) suddenly are much tougher.

rodgers is a smart guy. he knows the pack is not going to win with a guy referred to as "gutey". as a boss man myself for over 35 years, i had some employees who were with our company longer than myself. they, no doubt had something to offer and many times i listened.
rodgers had no control (or he didn't seem to) over who "gutey" and those previous to him chose, picked, traded, drafted to help the team win. i believe that to be a huge mistake. we had 2 hall of fame QB's and 2 SB wins to show for it? most of the blame lies in the front office
conclusion-shoulda listened to brett and aaron a long time ago, but the packers organization is showing itself to be just as flawed, if not more so than all of the single owner teams out there. instead of one super ego getting in the way, they have numerous. or too many chefs in the kitchen. i would have added mark murphy to the firing squad, but aaron knew his limitations. he's lucky the "peasants" of the town of green bay haven't stormed his office with pitch forks and torches.
so much for that romantic relationship of green bay and it's football team's organization. i don't think it's all it's cracked up to be. how the hell murphy has lasted as long as he has smells of old road kill. now that would be a story that would get some "clicks"
Haha. I got to this post on page 1 and was laughing too hard to continue. I did get to see his post that if the media ignored Aaron Rodgers (that'd be smart), there would be no drama at all in the Jets' building.
As always, Roquet proves himself incredibly on point.
Yeah, I don't think Gutey is the best GM in the world, but he built a team that current sits at 6-2. The Jets let Rodgers hire his OC, build the offense the way he wanted it, and got a couple of his receivers in the door - and they're 2-6 and fading fast.
And it's becoming increasingly clear that MLF's offense, and the people on the offensive staff, are tailor made for today's NFL. And Rodgers was too stubborn to see it.

Looks like Gutey's inability to FaceTime saved us from some bad QB play.
Quote from: rocket surgeon on June 01, 2023, 05:11:06 AMrodgers is a smart guy. he knows the pack is not going to win with a guy referred to as "gutey". as a boss man myself for over 35 years, i had some employees who were with our company longer than myself. they, no doubt had something to offer and many times i listened.
rodgers had no control (or he didn't seem to) over who "gutey" and those previous to him chose, picked, traded, drafted to help the team win. i believe that to be a huge mistake. we had 2 hall of fame QB's and 2 SB wins to show for it? most of the blame lies in the front office
conclusion-shoulda listened to brett and aaron a long time ago, but the packers organization is showing itself to be just as flawed, if not more so than all of the single owner teams out there. instead of one super ego getting in the way, they have numerous. or too many chefs in the kitchen. i would have added mark murphy to the firing squad, but aaron knew his limitations. he's lucky the "peasants" of the town of green bay haven't stormed his office with pitch forks and torches.
so much for that romantic relationship of green bay and it's football team's organization. i don't think it's all it's cracked up to be. how the hell murphy has lasted as long as he has smells of old road kill. now that would be a story that would get some "clicks"

Reports from multiple outlets that Jets owner Woody Johnson suggested benching Aaron Rodgers after week 4
The owner gets fired next.
Quote from: tower912 on November 20, 2024, 07:05:41 AMThe owner gets fired next.
Yeah, Woody Johnson makes Jerry Jones look sane after reading that article. Pushes for front office firings, doesn't allow Douglas to replace his guys. Demands trades, benches players, etc. Just an absolute disaster of an organization.
At least Jerry accomplished something to earn his wealth. Woody just inherited it.
Very funny that there is a slim-but-not-zero percent chance that the following happens:
- Jets cut Rodgers after this year.
- Darnold wants long-term-deal, but Vikings are unwilling to give him one because they have McCarthy.
- Vikings are also hesitant to go into the year with McCarthy as the guy because he's in his first year coming off knee surgery
- So Vikings sign newly-available Rodgers to complete the Favre arc.

I've actually tried thinking of a place that makes sense for him next year and it is bleak.
The Giants were one of those squads along with the Raiders, maybe Titans. I guess an argument can be made the Giants are the closest to winning that need a QB but is Rodgers better for a year than drafting a QB?
Unless he's willing to ride pine, he ain't got many options for teams that just need a QB to win it all. And I can't imagine any team signing him to be a backup and deal with all the drama that comes with him on the roster

He would have to just want to keep on playing for playing's sake. I don't think there's a single team that is a 42 year old Rodgers coming off his worst season away from a Superbowl. He is a veteran stopgap 1 year bridge quality guy at this point who at best could take a good but not great roster and give it a puncher's chance given how many wildcards are available these days. Maybe that fits at the Vikings.
I'm not confident it does though.

I just don't think he's all that good plus he's not great in the locker room. If I'm the Vikings, I'm signing someone like Andy Dalton long before Rodgers.
I would be shocked if anyone takes on Rodgers after this year.

I wonder if the Jets HQ is praying Woody goes back abroad as an ambassador again. His brother seems much more sane, reasonable, and pragmatic as the CEO when he ran the show in 2017-2021.
With no Rodgers and potentially no meddling Woody, thats a pretty attractive young roster with some studs on both sides of the ball

Aaron Rodgers, noted for not liking drama, in the news again
It's going to be fascinating. I only see teams wanting him to come in and be a bridge QB and to mentor a guy they draft. I see him wanting to go to a contender, which I'm not sure there's an overlap.
I could see the prophecy fulfilled if the Vikings move on from Darnold and want McCarthy to sit for another year.
If he would sit behind Goff and shut up, I would rather have him than Hooker if Goff were to go down.

O'Connell won't take him. He runs an offense similar to LaFleur and Rodgers doesn't like the motion and whatnot.
I think people are sort of wishcasting this because of the past but this Vikings FO and staff are a lot smarter than ones of the past.
Correct. And smart, contending franchises aren't going to put up with a guy doing things like skipping mini-camps to travel the world.
The Vikings will end up signing Darnold to a decent deal, but one they can get out from under when they have to.

He's been in the NFL 20 years and had a weekly radio spot for the last few. He just had a 3 hour documentary come out. I don't think it's really a snap judgement.
One week he's talking about how the team needs to cut out all the non-football BS and then he's missing mandatory camp for trips, spouting conspiracy theories, and being talked about as VP. It's pretty easy to not take what he says at face value.

That depends. If someone wants his services as a starter he will be back, otherwise he will retire "despite strong interest from several teams".

For his post-NFL interests, it's best no one brings him in and he can blame cancel culture and start a podcast where he asks questions

I have to think he will have to show interest pretty quickly so his options don't dry up. After this year, hes not automatically better than a lot of team's starter or other free agents.
My guess is if #8 gets his 500th TD he will close up shop.
Was embarrassing for a player of #8 stature to quit on the team last week

I am speculating that there may be mutual interest with Titans if the decision is to return.

Welcome to the party, pal.
#8 has two TD passes today. 500 and 501 , that should enable him to call it quits after this season

5 short of Favre? I don't know about that

Yeah, I'm sure he sees Peyton Manning winning a Super Bowl as a shell of himself. I think he might play until he physically can't or someone doesn't want to make him their starter Week 1.

Titans seem to be high on #8s interest list

I can't believe he'd go out quietly and not do another self aggrandizing final season, but that exchange with Pam Oliver yesterday definitely felt like "this is it" sort of vibe for anyone other than him.

Ya no way he doesn't come back to break Favres record. Being "better" than Favre was like 75% of his personality until he started going into dark caves.
If he can find a team (Tennessee?) that will allow him to come mentor a QB for 1-2 years and run things his way, I'm sure he'll be back.
Might not be the worst fit. You can deal with the circus if he's actually willing to mentor.

Bump. Maybe wrong about the cut ties (more like cut Achilles), but coming to fruition.
It's amazing to me a story about Rodgers plans for next year leak on Super Bowl Sunday. This guy just cannot catch a break from the media.

One of the best sports takes Rocket ever had
Jets moving on. Another good decision for a team not known for them.

Or when Watson is out for the year and they need a bridge QB
FWIW, I think this is the first time in about 10 years that there is value to extract from Rodgers. Its not going to take huge money or a long term commitment to take flier on him, and after the injury and how things went in NY, his personal motivations (to prove everyone wrong about him on the field and in the locker room) likely align with a team's goals again. I think he has enough in the tank to still be better than, idk, 10-12 team's QB situation or a bridge to a younger guy, and I think he's going to be as close to a model citizen as he's capable of being.

Rodgers will always want things his way. There's zero chance he just goes into some new organization and "fits in." He's a 41 year old who has looked like he can't move since tearing his achilles. He had really good receivers and a really good defense and the team went 5-12 and he stunk. I wouldn't touch him, but I'm also not the Vikings.
I could see Titans or Raiders wanting him to bridge a QB. I don't think he would want to go to Brady's team though.
I agree with wades, Rodgers isn't going to change in order to fit in. He is who he is, and really he has no incentive to change at this point.
The idea Aaron Rodgers is going to change for an organization?
What magical fantasy world is this going to happen?
I don't think he has to change per se. He's thin-skinned and is going to be out to prove everyone wrong that he's washed and a bad teammate. For teams in the short term or bridge QB market, I could see that working out - like a watered down version of when the Packers got MVP-level production mostly out of spite after they drafted Love.
Edit: MVP-level, not NFL-level - headslap
Betting markets have him at even money to end up in Pittsburgh.
Followed by:
49ers 3/1
Saints 5/1
Raiders 7/1
Seahawks 10/1
Browns 10/1
Rudolph, Pickens, Fields, Wilson, Rodgers (maybe). A real murderers' row.
Takes a great coach to win as much as Tomlin has with those guys.
So the Athletic is reporting that Rodgers was asked by the Jets to eliminate his appearances on McAfee during the season and report for all mandatory off season camps.
He apparently declined, which is the reason they have decided to move on.
Now it could have simply done that because he wants to get out, but IMO it doesn't seem like he is interested in changing his ways.
Maybe he can be Gottlieb's assistant at UWGB.

The Jets are part of the woke mob that wants to cancel Aaron
