It's a more than fair assessment, and it reasonably talks to all of the vagaries that go into THE TEAM winning championships.

But the road diverges. In the quintessential team sport, especially during the winter of his career, it felt too often like it was Rodgers first, team second. That's the part of that 'complicated fella' personality that impacted the team. From eschewing the entire range of TEAM activities during the offseason to indulge certain personal pursuits, to the need to have 'his crew', Rodgers' team all-in-ness was fading. Twice awarded that 'highest paid in league history' contract required him being the leader through his actions that he held himself out to be in words and which may have had a better chance of leading to titles. Maybe not.

That said, it's been so enjoyable to watch him play as this preternaturally-skilled QB wizard for my team. Mahomes may replace him someday as the most "Did you see THAT!?!" player in NFL history, but he's got a ways to go. More titles? Sure, it would have been nice, but ya pays your money and takes your chances.

As Vince's son said when asked if someone came up to him and told him this is how it would all play out, would he do it again? "Where do I sign" was his answer. No where near the same stakes for us, but I get the sentiment.

QB1 is dead. Long live QB1.

Bruce, you are exactly on point and have captured my feelings on the matter.

some posters here seem to hate Aaron because he is old and they want to move on. Welcome the new guy (Love) and trash the old (Rodgers). Others have ascribed all sorts of negative motives to things he he said, without any real knowledge of the man, they want to put their own bias on what he said to fit their personal narrative, ie they have little objectivity.

I think it is time to move on at QB (I thought so before the 2022 season and said so on this site back then). HOWEVER, for me this is a business decision, a cap decision, an age decision, not a decision that is affected by my feelings for Rodgers (I actually quite like the guy, albeit at a distance that makes it hard to really know him).

Just because you want to move on, doesn't mean you have to kick the guy on the way out even if (like me) you are looking forward to what Love can do under center. Compared to Favre at the end, there really isn't much to trash Rodgers with and being impatient for a decision by the teams involved, is no reason to get angry at him.

You are so wrong Bruce!

In America today - You have to either hate those who don't think like you or Love those who don't agree with you!

I choose Love.

I am already exhausted typing what a great QB/Leader/Teammate Aaron %'in Rodgers has been for 18 years...

Can we please start imagining Gutey having two good drafts in a row?

Sim: I traded down from 13 to 21 with the Chargers and added pick 53 in the 2nd round. I traded down from 15 to 33 and gained picks 65 in the 3rd round and the Texans 1st rounder next year...

21: Anton Harrison OT Oklahoma - Gutey adds an OT to hedge his bets to protect "his" franchise QB Jordan Love.

33: Darnell Washington TE Georgia - I know I'm not the only one who really wants Big Dog 2.0 -

43: Jahmyr Gibbs RB Alabama - Everyone is all Bijan. I love Bijan, but Gibbs is a different breed of dawg...

45: Luke Musgrave - For those who are convinced we need that move TE.

53: Adetomiwa Adebawore - OLBer Northwestern (Mark Murphy Northwestern influence creeps in again.)

65: Andre Carter II - OLBer ARMY - Carter needs to get stronger, but there is no denying his size and potential to hunt QBs.

78: Matt Landers - WR Arkansas - MVS clone with speed and more coordination than MVS.

116: Roschon Johnson - RB TEXAS - The Thunder to Gibbs lightning. MaLF wants to run the ball. Wish granted.

150: Zack Kuntz - TE Old Dominion - Draft "all" the TEs. It's no secret the Packers TE positional group has been a wasteland.

170: Bryce Ford-Wheaton - MVS clone with speed, weight, height, and more coordination than MVS. (4th sub 4.4 WR on roster.)

233: Dee Winters - LB TCU - Speed LBer mainly STs but could develop into something special.

236: Brandon Hill - S - Pittsburgh - We needed a Safety, so Gutey drafts one.

243: DJ Dale - DL - Alabama - Just adding a DL to the mix hoping he can contribute someday.

255: Evan Hull - RB - Mostly a STs player. Smart. Fast. Might need him in the future and can catch passes out of the backfield.

258 Tavius Robinson - OLBer - Dude has potential to be a baller if he develops.

unfortunately too many here were obsessed with Aarons hairstyle, girlfriends and family issues instead of focusing on Aaron the football player, I think he is a once in a lifetime talent , lets see how Mahomes does in 18 plus years, I am a Packers fan first and will support Love 100% and being a New Yorker I will be able to watch the Jets every week and root for Rodgers. GPG

The Packers fanbase seems to attacking itself more than usual. Some people think we all have to be thrilled he's leaving, some people promise we'll miss him when he's gone and the franchise will descend into the dark ages..

Speaking for myself I'm thrilled he's leaving but I'll miss him too. I mean common, how could you NOT miss the greatest thrower of the football? While I don't think the Packers will descend back into the dark ages of the 70's and 80's, I don't think we'll be a SB contender in 2023 either.

I've been one of the more fortunate Packers Fans. I remember the Lombardi years, then the horrible DECADES of the 70's and 80's, followed by basically 30 years of AWERSOME fucking football! Two of the biggest reasons for that awesome football were the QB's, Favre and Rodgers.

I loved Favre and I loved Rodgers. They are/were two of the greatest to EVER play the game of Football. But like everything else it came to an end. I'm excited about this franchises future. I'm excited to watch this offense the way it's SUPPOSED to be run.

At the end of the day I'm happy Rodgers is gone along with the drama and the throwing of coaches and teammates under the bus. I won't miss the "Death Stares" he makes to young players or even his coaches, or the smartass comments at the podium.

But even after all that I'll MISS watching him play. I can't tell you how many times I've watched that 38 yard completion to Greg Jennings on 3rd and 10 in the 4th quarter of the SB. Screw Eli Manning's pass to David Tyree while he held on with his helmet. That pass to Jennings was one of the prettiest PERFECT passes I've ever seen a QB throw.

But it's time and this franchise ISN'T descending into the "Dark Ages" of the 70's and 80's. It's to take a minute but this is the Packers. I have NO DOUBT greatness is just around the corner! Now Gute, just NAIL that draft!

Well-said, Bruce; I agree with all of it.

The Rodgers-Jordy years were probably my favorites of the 50+ years I've followed the Packers. I found Rodgers a breath of fresh air after Brett Favre (who I loved for his enthusiasm and "finding a way" moments, but he was kind of a jerk as a person, in my opinion). Rodgers has always been more honest and open than most famous people, and while he has seemed to become more and more narcissistic, he's remained a decent person, (again, in my opinion). Then again, I've never been a hero-worship kind of guy; I like anyone who puts out some effort and isn't a bully or jerk to others. It's funny that Favre was the kind of person someone might say they'd "like to have a beer with," but personally, I'd MUCH rather have a beer with Rodgers.

But it is time to move on. I roll my eyes at those who spout comments about how we're "going to regret it" when he's gone. That's just silly. He's 40 years old. He's going to be gone VERY soon, one way or another. I don't regret the inevitable.

Good luck, Aaron; I really enjoyed having you as our QB.

I just know that Rodgers for the 15 years that he has started has given us a shot to win every game he has played in. He has brought excitement and has been one of the top QB's since he started. As a player what more could you want from the player.

I just wish we could have done a little more around him in his time here to get us at least another championship. Think about all the wasted higher draft picks over the years. 2007- Justin Harrell, 2012- Nick Perry (could have had Harrison Smith), Jerel Worthy. 2014 - Khyri Thornton. There were many others but these guys always stand out in my mind of high draft picks that just did nothing in GB. Now Perry was a decent/good player, but its hard knowing we could have had Smith (picked 1 spot after Perry).

In the playoff losses our defense has averaged giving up 32 points per game. That is hard to overcome. There has been a lot made of us not getting him a 1st round WR. And yes I get it. They did do a great job of getting 2nd round WR's for him early in his career. They used 3 - 2nd round picks and 1- 3rd round pick in his first 4 years in the league. But after that, they used 2- 2nd round picks on WR's for the next 14 drafts. They didn't get him enough skilled players to support him IMO.

That is why 2014 to me stings the most because that year we had a championship caliber team and we simply didn't finish it. There have been a few other opportunities, but that year just hurts.

But I appreciate what Rodgers has given us for the last 15 years. This book is almost closed, we are just waiting for that final page to be put in ink. Hopefully our next book will give us some similar fate, in that we are competitive each year, and hopefully Love can be the next in line for great QB's in GB. Hopefully he can bring the Lombardi trophy back to GB. I appreciate what Rodgers has done for us, and I am excited for our future.

“You don’t have to hate Aaron Rodgers to be glad he’s leaving.”

True.

It does matter.-
I can repeat myself as much anybody.
And most of the articles are just repeating themselves.
But when the professional odds makers
point to," Last in the division."
Well, then it's No longer just an opinion.
It's No longer about the Love.
It's about the Team. History repeating itself.
This FO has Frustrations, a grudge!
Motives to quite possibly preserve the past, than win.
The welfare of the team just nose dived.
And my belief is; they don't want Rodgers
to be the greatest Packer in their history.
The NFL schedules are set up revenue.
And the odds play into that.
So don't tell me it doesn't matter.

.

I am and was a huge Rodgers fan, but I believe it's time to move on. When you hear over and over, look out next year for a "motivated" Aaron, he'll make a run at mvp.
My issue is, shouldn't you be motivated every year? The fact that it takes pissing him off to light that fire, is enough for me to move on.

I'm 100% in the same boat. I loved watching Aaron play and have many fond memories of his time in Green Bay. I remember thinking he would be a Trent Dilfer type QB when he was drafted. Never been so happy to be so completely wrong. But it was definitely time...and probably a year overdue in my estimation. I'll cheer for Love and god willing, whoever takes over once his career is done (hopefully after a long and successful one). When Rodgers goes into the HOF on the first ballot, I'll cheer for him again and again be thankful for all the great memories he gave me along the way.

Thanks for the article Bruce. It has been hard pressed to find many people that really wanted ARod to remain a Packer. We were blessed to have a generational talent for so many years. And for that I am grateful and wish him well in the next part of his journey.

The one common denominator that I’m seeing is our support for Jordan Love. While that brings pressure, it should also motivate him to know the fan base is behind him. The Packer’s still have a lot of talent on the offensive side and a couple of additional draft picks/FA’s would be nice to help Jordan as well. Also looking forward to a younger and more athletic QB. Can’t wait to see how this all comes together!!

I don’t hate him. Both him and the team could have handled things better. But then so could we all.

Yes. Good article. Rodgers didn't flub the onside kick in Seattle. Or he wasn't the coach who should have gone for two in Arizona. Or he wasn't the GM who made lousy draft picks when he himself was fading. And he certainly wasn't the CB who gave up an easy TD and a holding call in the Tampa Bay game. And he certainly wasn't the front office who squandered a decade of his greatness.

He was the guy who threw the hail mary to win the game in Detroit. He was the guy who owned the Bears. He was the guy who torched the Giants in a playoff game. And he was the guy that just couldn't get it done the last few years. And he became the guy whose personality no longer matched well with the fans.

I was all in for him last year. But he wasn't. Lazard said as much when he noted that the timing had to develop during the season. Timing and such is developed during the OTA's. Lafleur should have fired Barry for his lax defense. That story is still to unfold.

Sometimes in life a person needs a change. Rodgers and the Packers are in that position. Time to move on. It is as simple as that. Good fortune for Rodgers and go Pack.

Before we drafted him, I remember players from Cal saying we are going to love his arm. Truer words have yet to be spoken. I love what Rodgers has done with the Packers. I wish him well with the Jets and hope the time he has left in the NFL is rewarding and fulfilling for him. GO PACK, GO!!!

I will always consider Rodgers a Packer even if he doesn't. It's different from Favre (who I thought should've retired) because I think this is what's best for him and gives him the best chance at another championship. He deserves another, and I think he needs the chip on his shoulder that's worked for him since he was in high school and shunned by the big schools.

Bruce said, "but the sum of parts with Rodgers at the helm just felt less and less confidence-inspiring each year, even if he wasn't the sole cause. There's no denying that he checked out for the offseason last year and he played like he was on his farewell tour for a good chunk of the season." Coaching! Coaches and the front office enable this.

Coaching brought a 7th round draft choice rookie QB to the NFC championship this season against a QB in his second or third year. If he hadn't been hurt early, he might have gone on to the Super Bowl. Coaching! If the FO and coaching think all you need is a great QB to win, it's a lose-lose situation.

Bruce, I do not think there is much fans that hates ACR. I know I sure not. I'm just trying to be realist. For me it is not problem if someone makes mistakes. Problem is when for those mistakes person who made them try to blame others. Very simple. In your article you (not directly) gave credit to one person for success of the football team. But when things starts to go south, you put blame on everybody else.

"Beauty of football is in fact that 11 players should play on the same page to achieve victory." was the answer ACR gave on PMS answering on question why he believe football is the best (beautiful) sport above others (he mention that it goes to D as well as ST, too).

So, how come that we were (and still are) not allowed to ask for accountability for ACR mistakes that was outcome changing plays. Like that NFCCG 2020 season or DRG 2021 season?

Both games he did not play well. But 2 mistakes at the end of the those games put Packers as losers.

He never take responsibility for those mistakes. That is what I complain about. Not because he made each of them, but because he tried to avoid the responsibility for them.

And, that is always my firs objection on ACR. Second objection is that he gave himself right to call other people, but I never hear him (except once, when he admitted that he was watching his past playing tapes and found he has to correct some things) he talks how he regret that this or that pass or decision from him war wrong.

I can write here few more shortcoming I saw and I was already discussing them.

It is not the theme of the article not time for that. I will add this statement again here, and I will stay with that:

I agree that by his playing for Green Bay Packers he brought a lot of joy in Packerland (me included) and that he deserves to be in Packers HOF and to have his number retired for the Packers. I have no doubt in that.

But, it is the time!

Yet another day we talk about His Darkness. Please, make it stop! Off to the Jets and be done with this!

My fundamental issue with Rodgers was the way HE treated the organization. Like always thinking he was smarter than everyone else including his coach. When Rodgers got the ESPY award he talked to Matt LaFleur from the podium like LaFleur was his dumb younger brother. I was embarrassed because this is an employee talking to his boss. Not his frat brother, his boss. It showed all I needed to know about Aaron Rodgers.

Jordan Love will get his shot but I think somewhere in this year's draft they need to draft another one to develop. Love looks ready to go so now is the time but I follow Ron Wolf's philosophy: always look for the next QB talent. Love will have a young and talented receiver corps(if they can find a starting tight end), a good running game and a solid offensive line.(To all the Gutey haters, yes he brought them in too).

In five years all of this will be forgotten, but lets just get this divorce done, split the assets, and move on.

In the end the truth will come out. The packers are moving on to Jordan Love. Is that saying that Aaron Rodgers is no longer the starter. Yep. So he's not good enough to start in Green Bay but the Packers want compensation. Some of you want 2 first round picks. Why? Grundyshorts
Smurph and LaStink have decided Love is the man. What ever happened to competition? Whatever happened to the best guy starts? So if Rodgers is worn out, a pain in your ass, or simply cant play anymore, then take whatever the Jets offer. THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT. Grundy and Smurph planned this a long time ago. Now La Stink has to look in the mirror. "Holy Shit I have to coach without Rodgers?" There is no other scenario. Rodgers wanted to retire a Packer. Now he will go to New York Jets and probably show all Packer fans what a bunch of buffoons our front office is. I say play the way you always have Aaron Rodgers and stick your foot up the Packer's collective rearends. I am so disgusted with Green Bay that I've decided to be a Jets fan. And I hate Joe Namath.

Double post.

The leader of the "If you want to see Rodgers go, you hate Rodgers", is Adam Schein, on Mad Dog Radio. He has resorted to browbeating and bullying people into agreement. This is highly unusual behavior for Schein, who is usually much more temperate and not a jerk. It's always better to get rid of a player a year too early, rather than a year too late. To beat that horse a bit more- the Packers had a golden opportunity with Denver to gain a lot of draft picks and players who could help Love with the transition. They hesitated, or were too greedy, or simply scared. Whatever. They then signed him to a contract that effectively turned the team over to Rodgers. Now, they want it back. The pieces are all there: the Jets want Rodgers; he has said he wants to go to the Jets. Now, it's just a matter of compensation. Who will fold? Will the Packers back off their alleged wish for a minimum of two firsts? Or will the Jets hold the line, hoping they can get Rodgers on the cheap, like they did with Favre? In that case, it was a conditional fourth, which turned into a third. Like it or not, this is the precedent. It is management that has gotten the team into this dilemma. It is up to them to get the team out of it. If the Jets offered a first and a player or two, take it. They missed the money train. Time to take what you can get.

Like most here, I have been a lifelong Packer fan, watching Lombardi's teams with my dad on a 27 inch black and white TV screen. Fortunate to see Bart Star on that screen as he earned MVPs and won SBs.

Two decades followed Bart with about 20 QBs playing behind center (Lynn Dickey was a good player) with names like Tagge, Whitehurst, Wright, even Concannon leading losing campaigns.

Then, in 1992, Majkowski got hurt and a kid from Mississippi took the field against the Bengals, brought the team back and won the game on a TD pass to Kittrick Taylor (first and last pass he ever caught in GB!).

Favre never came off the field until 2008 earning 3 MVPs and a SB. A messy exit ended it, Favre was traded to the Jets, but Rogers handled it well. Most of us had no clue if the late first rounder would be any good.

Any good? Rodgers was spectacular! Earning 4 MVPs and a SB. But another messy exit is here and Rodgers will likely be traded to... The Jets! But Love is seeming to handle it well.

Starr, Favre, Rodgers...MVP QBs, Championships and Superbowls.

Will Love be added to that list of 3 one day? We are going to find out.

I don’t hate AR either. Just time to see him go. I couldn’t care less about his stance on vaccines, mushrooms or women. I appreciate his accomplishments, but my perception of him as a person isn’t is as high. I put him the same category as Springsteen, Trump, Quentin Tarantino, Tiger Woods. Like a lot of your work, but don’t want you living next door.

I loved Aaron Rodgers as a player for the Packers, and then things changed...
I don't like Aaron Rodgers.
I don't hate Aaron Rodgers.
I appreciate his moments of greatness, as a fan of the Packers.

Enjoyed the read, Bruce.

This caught my eye "No one's perfect, but you can still like a flawed man." I've been told in the past one guy was perfect and they wound up crucifying him.

Now Rodgers may not be crucified by the New York press if the trade goes through and he doesn't deliver a championship, but he may find out that he will be roughed up a bit.

Here is one of the "Great" Green bay packers view of the "Change". I agree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLFcNtZlJFo&list=FLDwkMdVT6zmG_roNVxxPB1...

My guess this whole trade thing in Rodgers view is come down to his now lack of control on the team.

Just heard that Raiders and Garoppolo did not finish the signing of the contract. Allegedly Jimmy did not pass the physicals. And announcement press conference is cancelled.

Anyhow, it looks like deal will be done this evening.

AR and the Pack were consistently a prime-time game on the NFL schedule. Just watch - the Jets will be on prime-time TV more than the Packers next season as the Rodgers infatuation moves to the east coast. And that's OK, because you can imagine that most of PackerNation will watch AR against the AFC East to see how he fares. He'll be going up against Belichick, McDermott, & McDaniel 2x/year. That should be very interesting. I wish AR well. But I hope Love does better! He's our guy now, like it or not!

Ever heard the phrase "there's a fine line between love and hate?" Its usually used to describe a romantic couple having a falling out then that love turning to spite. I can only speak for myself, but my attitude towards Rodgers is a lot like this. I was in Rodgers' corner from day 1 much like I've been with Love. I watched him grow from a wet behind the ears rookie into an absolute legend on the field. I took pride in that, especially considering that it wasnt popular to support Rodgers in those days much like it wasnt cool to support Love being drafted. Rodgers overcoming the Favre fiasco and turning the corner to superstardom meant everything to me. I felt invested like I had done some small part to aid him against the odds. Over time you develop a bond where you see these guys almost like family. Thats how big of a Rodgers fan I was. As the years went by, the only thing more disappointing than all the gutwrenching playoff debacles was that the guy I constantly defended became harder and harder to defend, on and off the field. He became brash where he used to be cautious, he became controlling where he used to stay in his lane, he just flat out became too big for the Green Bay Packers. I finally came to that realization in 2021 when he staged his coup disguised as a holdout. Thats when my love and deep admiration for him began to morph into spite. It was one thing when his ego just meant some strange soundbites or the occasional player getting yelled at on the field. But eventually that ego began to hurt this team. And that I just could not support or defend any longer. I've been accused, many times, on this board of being a blind hater but that couldnt be any further from the truth. What i feel is betrayed. I feel that he took our support and loyalty and leveraged it against the team we all love for his own selfish means. How does love not give way to spite? Am i supposed to just ignore all his ridiculous behavior because he did great things on the field? Being a Packers fan is unique in that its about so much more than just what happens on the field. The Green Bay Packers symbolize community, unselfishness, and coming together to create something thats greater than the sum of its parts. Can anybody look back at the last 5-7 years and honestly tell me Rodgers lived up to those ideals? He became the exact opposite and it absolutely breaks my heart. I will forgive him eventually (assuming he never plays for an NFC North team) but its gonna take time. There's a fine line between love and hate.

As we say in my country: "Ack så bitterljuvt det är att skiljas"

(oh how bittersweet it is to part)

You can be angry with a person because you care about him, want the best for him, even love him.
Oftentimes, the most loving reaction is anger.
If a person is descending into bad behavior, it's not loving to enable that bad behavior.
If a person is treating others badly, it's not loving to enable him in treating others badly.
To be angry is not to hate.
To truly help someone, speak the truth with love, with kindness but firmness, even if the truth is not popular with that person at that time.
***
Generally speaking, it seems that superstars like Rodgers have enough sycophants always agreeing with them.
The sycophants don't care about the superstars, but about what they can get out of them.
I wonder if these days Rodgers is listening to the sycophants, and shutting out the people who genuinely care about him.
That would be a tragedy.
***
On a final note, it's not about the personal life of Rodgers, but about how his personal actions affect the Green Bay Packers, including the fans.
Rodgers has been jerking around the Packers and us fans since at least 2021, if not earlier.
There's good reason to believe that his apparent arrogance is undermining the stability and stature of the Packers, that he has been bringing down the entire team and the whole franchise in his domineering arrogance.
A self-absorbed and attention-seeking quarterback is not going to be a leader of men.
Rodgers is the fault line around which the Packers crack and crumble in the pressure of the biggest games.
He is fool's Green and Gold, often glittering and glamorous, exciting and enticing, but ultimately heartbreaking.

"Breaking up is hard to do" - Nell Sedaka

So it is with Rodgers and Packers fans - after an 18 year relationship. And like most break-ups - what is foremost to both parties is why the relationship ended - not what sustained it. However with the passage of time, the lowering of emotions and introspection - can a more complete and balanced picture of the relationship be seen and appreciated - now including all the positive memories. I trust that it will be so for Packers fans and Rodgers - eventually.

I think this is the best piece I've seen to date on the Rodgers situation - well at least the one that is in closest agreement with my own opinions. Thanks for the read!

I think there are two sides to Rodgers, and which side you see is the cause of your delight or despair in his leaving. Rodgers made some of the sickest throws I've ever seen, like the throw to Jared Cook . Remember when he was injured against the bears, came out after halftime and led that comeback? I thought that stuff only happened in movies. It was awesome to watch. Then there's the other side. The guy who wanted to control everything, like other players, the front office, the media. When he couldn't control those things he would get frustrated, and I think the frustration carried over into his play. Rodgers always thought he knew best. Often he did, but when he didn't it was ugly. I think the uglier side has been more evident recently, and that is why people want him to leave. I also want him to leave so we can move on, not only from him, but his band of merry men as well. That said, I don't hold ill will against him. I feel it was a privilege to watch him play. I will definitely be watching some Jets games next year.

Football aside I’d much rather have a beer 🍺 with Favre, Aaron would be lucky to finish his just like at the Bucks game.

Cheers,

BoHunter

I’m scared sometimes. Just frightened with people in general. In peoples minds when they are told a narrative to follow, it’s never questioned why? The answer is yes right away master!

Aaron Rodgers became focused on himself rather than the team? Do you think this through? Surely you’ve seen him discuss three different times how important it is for an organization to take care of players who invest back into the community. Invest in the community and integrate into the region is something Rodgers has done his entire career yet somehow he’s selfish? The team traded away and alienates his friend and top target forcing him to rely on rookies, yet shows up and works. Doesn’t command a trade?

This entire circumstance has put such a shitty taste in my mouth about the intelligence of people. I’m actually looking forward to the witty replies that reference different media outlets opinions and perspective as evidence to the contrary. Yes using examples by people who hardly qualify as journalists that are no more qualified than me and some guy sitting on a bar stool at a local pub. In fact that’s about the extent to the quality of reporting these professionals have maintained. Substantiate information? Are you crazy then how will we get viewship. Instead let’s create a narrative of controversy. People are far too stupid to question how we got the information. They won’t want it validated they just want to see problems.

Love will. be so boring...who's going talk about his hair, his girlfriends, his beliefs, his private life....hope he's good cuz he gonna be boring...

Loved Rodgers the football player. Always had a chance. Thanked the lucky stars that the niners chose the other guy and that #12 fell to Green Bay and Ted was wise enough to take him. Had enough of AR when the I became more important than the Team. Wished Murphy had been smart/foresighted enough to trade him last year. That being said I more than likely will (again) watch a few jets games and wish the QB the best while hoping the Packers stay competitive. That just probably won’t be in 2023. May I eat my words uttered when Goodell said the love word…

I think the thumb injury had more to do with Rodgers "down" numbers than anything else last year. Although I still think the Packers receivers would have been better last year if he had made a committment and worked with them before season started. I guess we will never know for sure. I do know that close to 25 teams would have gladly taken Rodgers stats last year and him as their QB. And I also think Aaron still has more great football in him. I really hope he plays well for the Jets and if they get to the playoffs or super bowl I will cheer him on. I think 99% of us Packer fans will. You might see more creative QBs in the future but no QB now or in the future will drop a ball on a dime like Rodgers has in his career. The drama is what people came to dislike and the making Green Bay put everything on hold while Aaron held them hostage the last 2 years was the deal breaker. Do you really think he wouldn't have done it again next year too? At least if this trade ever goes through we will get some value back in picks and hopefully some good, young players too. Moore, Mims, and Ruckert catching balls would sure help Love get his career off to a good start and the Jets don't need them.

Good luck and thanks for the memories #12. Come back and sign a 1 day contract when you retire.
It will be quite a party!!
