Rodgers holds the card that he has made a poo ton of money over the years. So it isn't like he can't pay for electricity if he doesn't show up and play. He could just wait out and either retire or until the Packers brass buckle and decide to get something for him.

Career Earnings: $242,327,500

That goes back to the whole "high standards" question.

I doubt anybody would deny that the Packers are one of the best teams in the league. They just haven't been the best.

It's all relative.

I'm no Aaron Rodgers fan, he comes across like an A-hole.  So I'm sympathetic with Green Bay for wanting to move on from him in another year or two when Love is gtg. 

On the other hand Packers haven't given Aaron the help he needs to reach the promised land.  Selecting his replacement in the 1st round tells Rodgers it is only a matter of time before management pushes him out.

Since Rodgers only has so many years left to play, either provide him with the supporting cast he needs in Green Bay or trade him so he can help another team to the championship. 

I wouldn't expect Aaron to continue to play the role of a stopgap until Love is ready to take over at the time and choosing of the Packers. Especially when Rodgers could be playing for another team that views him as someone who will win them a championship.

The NFL is strictly business.  Both for the owners, and the players.  Didn’t the packers make their choice by drafting a QB in the first round?  Now the packers can live with that decision, just as Aaron will.  Wonder if he takes the Carson Palmer route.....both were/are in a financial position to sit it out for a year to get what they want.

And what equated to a 3rd string RB with their 2nd rounder following the Love pick in the first....was GB really hammering the point home that year to Rodgers.  We aren’t drafting and building to help presently.

Are we certain that's gonna happen?

Heaven knows Rodgers has all the talent in the world, but good grief what an entitled, narcissistic douchebag he's become.

Aaron, the HOF is whispering in your ear.  Are you listening?

I'm not sure Rodgers could see it any other way.

I'd be looking for and exit strategy as well.

Not sure why Green Bay should be surprised by any of this.

and it isn’t a knock the player.  But Aaron Jones is a bad dude.  And GB already struggled enough getting him enough touches given they so heavily rotate in (the solid backup whose name I can’t remember).

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
