Orrrrr they just both watched the Schefter segment and tweeted it out? Idk why you're getting so defensive about this.

Not defensive. Just using my Bullsh-t Detector.

I honestly could see it for a 2nd and 3rd or 4th.  But even 2 2nds for a potential Superbowl run in year one under Reich while Rodgers' successor is waiting behind him?  Sign me up.

Hell yes please!

Can't remember which one said it yesterday, Fitt or Reich, (I think it was Fitt) but they basically said we are in win-now mode.  And if we get Rodgers that becomes more like, "win-Superbowl-now."

Win now mode would look more like throwing away draft picks to acquire premier players and signing big FAs to big money.  I don't see any of that happening.  I think his "win now" was more of we are able to compete now.  They seem more concerned about building a solid foundation and being consistently good (which I like).  That looks more like a rookie QB to me...

Mr Scot is the source guys.

 

If it doesn't come from him don't believe it!

You're the only one raising a stink about this not occurring. Perhaps you don't like the idea so you're holding on to the possibility that it's not true?

It's smart business...there isn't a no trade clause like Watson had so if GB says we'll give you Aaron for a 2nd you take it...not that they would probably take that but you never know unless you inquire,

This is a "stink"?

Nah. If the story were true I wouldn't be that bothered by it given the way our front office operates. I wouldn't take it all that seriously either for the same reason.

But regardless, if you go to Twitter you can find loads of low level "sources" claiming they saw someone say something on TV to draw attention to themselves. Happens pretty much every day.

That's why until I see a more reliable source doing something other than quoting this Twitter account, I'm not buying it.

If that pisses you off, why?

Another fact check...

They keep crediting Adam Schefter.  It looks like Schefter mentioned it on NFL Live.

Lmao my dude I'm not pissed off, I don't care one way or the other if this story is true or not. We're not getting Rodgers either way. I'm just commenting on your immediate push to disprove the narrative.

Ah, "sources". I love social media.

That said, I'd love to see him end his career here IF he thought the team was good enough.

The original source apparently claimed to have seen it there, and the guy above (from BroBible) quoted it. It's a common tactic used by fake Twitter accounts to claim someone said it.

Will Kunkel and Sheena Quick have both said it's bullsh-t. Most others haven't even acknowledgement it.

Would you rather everyone have an extended discussion of a fake story?

Why?
