The Packer Leadership Conundrum

[Pugger]

Not sure that Rodgers is above average at this point and he isn't getting any better. He had some good games and some great passes, but there were far more poor games and bad throws ( and non-throws). A bunch of games where he was simply out-played by less talented QBs.

Seriously - if Rodgers is as bad as some are suggesting here because he played like crap to often in 2022 why would any team out there bother with him? Some say he is arrogant and aloof, is going to be 40 in October and has a ridiculous salary he will demand because of his contract. If he is the has-been so many say he is we won't be getting any firsts for this guy this spring. Seattle got a haul for Wilson because he is 6 years younger than AR.

You really don't have to take my word for it - just watch the games. And if you think Rodgers is still a great QB, well, I think your devotion to a sports hero is clouding your judgement. Or you can look at his stats and see his average numbers. But then I suppose you will blame all the players around him or coaching. And if you watch the games you will point to the one excellent pass and assure yourself that Rodgers is still great - and completely ignore the previous 7 plays that were poor throws, missed open WRs, and bad decisions.

Where in this post did I say he played great in 2022?? I was pointing out other teams may not want him either, nothing more. Sheesh.

If rodgers truly becomes available you guys will see how good teams think he is.

Only problem is his ongoing threats to retire rank his trade value..which is why I think that talk is more strategic than actually wanting to retire

I’m not sure how to take what you wrote. I think of 32 teams, probably 31 think of Rodgers as still very good. Of those, probably 7-8 are firmly set on their current QB. Of the remainder, half of them won’t be able to pay him. Of the remaining remainder, he has to be worked in along with how many other QBs that’ll be moving from one team to another. That’s just a summary of the real world in 2023 NFL.

I do think the Jets and Raiders make sense for teams that would eagerly want to get him. I’m not sure how many other teams would bother if they would displace their current QBs. (It’s hard to pay two starters.)
