Rodgers Wants Out

It’s been 3 days and I’m already over this crap. Packer brass out there acting a fool, flying here and there. If it’s up to me, he can take a boat load of extra cash or he can take retirement, but no more jumping through hoops.

So if you believe reports Rodgers wants Gute out to come back but would Murphy fire his hand picked GM and give Rodgers a say in replacing that GM? I checked the magic 8 ball and it gave me ask again later. :)

At least it didn't say, "Call Hackenberg"

According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, Rodgers won’t return to the Packers as long as Brian Gutekunst serves as the team’s General Manager. Rodgers is willing to consider “hardline options” to get what he wants, from skipping the entire offseason to holding out of training camp, to possibly retiring.

Robinson reports, citing an unnamed source in Rodgers’ camp, that a reconciliation may not be possible if Gutekunst continues to be the G.M. Also, Robinson reports that team CEO Mark Murphy is aware of Rodgers’ position on Gutekunst.

“The ball is in Mark’s court,” the unnamed source told Robinson.

They should fire Murphy and give his job to Gute and then Gute can hire his own GM!
Problem solved!

Another day and more stories about this mess.....reading around it's Favre 2.0 again with the fan base split in two. The longer it plays out the uglier it will be.

Meh. It doesn't NEED to be sorted until camp. Just like no one would pay to watch a circus over zoom or read an article on it, it won't be Favre 2.0 until everyone hits the field. At that point - and I think it was Pack who said this in shout - you might as well put a big top over Nitschke Field.
 
I think that part of the struggle is that people don't see Rodgers the way everyone was seeing him last year when we picked Love. He looked like maybe he was on the decline. Instead of saying he is some sort of god on the field, the pundits were talking about how he might be done and that he was falling out of the elite conversation as a quarterback. People are framing the Love pick and decision as though Rodgers had come off an MVP campaign in the season previous. I think that the Packers will sit on Aaron Rodgers. They will do their best to fix the relationship, but Rodgers asking for Gute's job is ridiculous.

Gute admitted his fault by offering an extension with additional guaranteed money. Gute has also done an incredible job of both adding an influx of new talent through the draft and free agency and extending the Packer stars.

I very much hope they can just work through it. It feels like there are better ways to bridge the gap of hurt feelings than by asking for a successful GM To be fired. If it can't be worked out, I hope the Packers sit on Rodgers unless someone trades us a King's Ransom.
 
I think Rodgers got lazy with his footwork and mechanics, in part because he could and in part because he couldn’t stand McCarthy anymore.

From a GM perspective, you see a guy who is “declining” and not the player he was, it makes sense why they took a qb. I probably still wouldn’t have done it with Love in round 1, but I get it.

That lights a fire under Rodgers and he finally goes back and watches old film and goes back to his old mechanics. He also buys into MLF’s offense.

I truly believe the above wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t take a qb though. I’m not sure he had that motivation anymore or he wasn’t pissed off enough, I don’t know.

Not sure Aaron isn't just tired of playing FB and wants to move on ??
