Rams tried to trade for Aaron Rodgers first

The Los Angeles Times' Sam Farmer reports the Rams "made a run" at Aaron Rodgers, but that the Packers were "adamant" he is not on the block. 

Rodgers had his fun stirring the pot following the Packers' NFC Championship Game loss to the Bucs, but all parties have spent the past week either strongly suggesting — in Rodgers' case — or outright insisting — in the team's case — that he will be back in Green Bay in 2021. This dynamic will never go back to normal following the Pack's first-round selection of Jordan Love, but Rodgers' MVP play in 2020 has rendered any intrigue moot for at least another year. 
 

 

Very aggressive.  Rams are trying to go all in for next year.

Also, Rodgers is not available.

Yep, thinking they can replicate the Buc's meteoric rise due to Tom Brady.  News flash: like him or hate him, there's only one Tom Brady.

That’s absurd. Rodgers outplayed Brady in that game and it wasn’t even close. You honestly think that if the NFC championship game was LA vs TB with Rodgers under center TB still wins? Rodgers is a significantly better QB than Brady at this stage in their respective careers

My point went over your head.  Let me use the NBA as an example then.  You have a good team, but can't  seem to get over the hump in the playoffs for the ring, so said team goes out and tries to get Steph Curry because the Lakers got Labron that lead to a ring.  My point, trying to buy a championship just because it seemingly worked for another team.  The Chiefs can ultimately screw up that plan for the Bucs.

Rogers is arguably better than Brady at this stage, but not by much and Aaron's edge is purely in his arm strength.  However, that wasn't my point.

Your point was that La couldn’t replicate TB’s result with Rodgers because there’s only ONE Brady. But in reality LA has a great roster, and in reality Rodgers is a better QB than Brady, by what margin is irrelevant to the conversation. So are you saying that teams that make a move like that are ultimately unsuccessful and it’s detrimental to them long term? Because if so you’re initial comment did not indicate that whatsoever, seemed like you were directly comparing two teams and two QB’s ala your NBA analogy- which isn’t really an analogy because it’s the exact same thing as the original scenario just nba instead of nfl, so doesn’t really help illuminate any greater point. 
 

MY point is that LA with Rodgers would be insane, and would be so much fun to watch, and undoubtedly would be Super Bowl favorites going into next year.

      Cam will be on a reality show, airing in January

      There's a real physical toll that playing in the NFL takes on the body.  Certain things just won't work the same, which will make some of those challenges painful and hard.  These folks are all rich and have cushy lives to return to.  I'm not saying Cam will leave first, but I can see it after a few episodes when old injuries flare up.  Or he decides he's done with it.

      His size could work against him…BUT Cam is a weird duck.  He was wired differently.  I would bet on the young Cam that could barely get dressed after a loss….that dude wouldn’t have quit easily IMO.  But that dude doesn’t exist anymore.

      i got attacked by a housecat once. pretty terrifying.  i was at a friends house and the cat jumped on my lap. it was calm for a minute but then it turned on it's back and bit my hand and sunk it's claws into my arm, all four of them so i grab the thing and pull the thing off my arm, dragging it's claws down my arm. i finally get the crazy thing off and throw it on the ground then it grabs my leg (fortunately i was wearing jeans that day) and the owner, who has just been sitting there in shock watching this happen to this point, grabs the thing and carries it downstairs and throws it outside.  supposedly that cat had never done anything like that before. i had been over there a lot and never had any problems with that cat. but something happened to it and it was never the same. went completely mental. they kept it outside after that. one week they went on vacation for a few days and apparently a stray chow came around and when they got home, the chow had the cat trapped under a car. no telling how long it had been there.  they chased off the chow and the cat ran off and they never saw it again. then that chow came back and hung around for a while and was terrorizing the other animals, including an old horse they had in a pasture. it killed at least one cat that i know of. they called animal control on it and they found it under one of their outbuildings. they figured the only thing they could do is shoot the thing. they shot it with a shot gun and it took one blast and then went running towards the guy who shot it and had to shoot it again.
