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.
