From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Also, nobody was talking about playoff losses, much less blame for them, just whether or not drafting a QB high was justifiable.
It arguably was, one such argument being that 2019 Rodgers was playing at a level that a rookie QB could have upgraded the position. A rookie QB is not always Jordan Love, sometimes they are Justin Herbert (a lot of people thought Herbert also needed time before he'd be a good starter), and if Rodgers had not gotten his act together in 2020, that rookie QB would be our starter.
Rodgers *did* get it together, though, which is fortunate for us, because Love is not yet a viable starter if he ever will be.
And seeing as Rodgers literally threatened to leave, almost did until the 11th hour, last year over an issue that preexisted the Love pick, we almost flat-out needed Love last year.
It took everyone on offense time to adapt to Lafluers schemes in 2019, Rodgers still had 4000 yrds passing, and as has been the case Adams had his 1000 plus yrds, and as has been the case the next best WR had half that.
too funny, if Rodgers did leave last year Gute would have been scronging to find a QB cause Love sure as hell was not ready to start, and last year after Tonyan, MVS etc. new the pass routes and schemes the 2nd best ( Tonyan) still could only manage less then half the yrds of Adams, and thats the way it's been since 2015 and the last hurrah of McCarthy, I'am surprised Rodgers did as well as he did with basically crap at WR, and pass schemes that every DB in the league had memorized.
any decline from Rodgers was do to boredom since basically nothing had changed on offense in a doz years, ya blame Rodgers for what went wrong in the FO and coaching.

Still, 2019 looked too difficult and offense shouldn't look that way. The Packers offense in 2020 and 2021 looked nothing like 2019.
Would sure be nice to get the extension done before league new year to lower his cap number.
Does us no favors in that regard either if we have to carry him just to trade him.
Guessing he knows his leverage and the Packer will pay him a lot in the next day or two. Prolly be a 3 year deal with a garbage 4th year with like a 35 million base salary and workout and roster bonuses. But they’ll get the headline price of I’m guessing 4 years for 112 million or 28 per. Might be closer to like 75-78 over 3 years.
I suppose this isn't a shock to anybody, that Tae says "no" to the tag. But is there any doubt that a deal will be done by COB on Wednesday? The Packers know how to work this stuff. If Tae is cooperating, it'll be done and then he'll be the highest paid WR in the league.
Come on down and try some of our delicious green chili! Best in the world!

see I disagree with a move like this, true quality QB's are very hard to find anywhere, not the draft or UFA, not the same though with the WR position, every year rookie WR go to the pro bowl, and every year 3 or 4 very good ones change teams in UFA.
Amari Coopers deal seemed like a steal, a couple of mid round picks, Tae will draw more, and we can use that compensation on a UFA WR, and use one of our top 3 picks to draft another, I think Gute should consider this over paying Tae 25 plus a season.
I'm just not going to get too involved this offseason.
The Packers made their bed. They can figure out how they want to balance this thing.
your just pissed because they didn't do what you want them to
Definitely not the direction I would have gone. I made no bones about that.
So I'm more just now done trying to figure out how they can get it done. If they keep the defense in tact I will be happy. I bet Campbell is gone though which I think we will really struggle with.
But personally pissed? Absolutely not. I don't get personally insulted when an organization does something different than I would do. I deal with companies and organizations all the time. Sometimes they take my advice and other times they don't. Sometimes I was right and sometimes I was not.
Primarily I will not get too involved because I am out of ideas and I am super busy at work as we fired our CFO last week and I am now the CFO. (low key super pumped about this as it has always been my dream job). We hired a CFO coach/consultant in the interim to help train me as I have no experience as a C-level professional, but nonetheless I am the dude and that will likely occupy most my team this year. We are a super fast growing company. It's fun but it's also overwhelming.
