The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

Quite honestly, I think Rodgers is overplaying the dramatic effect with that story.
assistant to assistants shouldn't be given the task of telling players there being cut, if thats in fact what did happen, it should never happen, Rodgers is right, it lowers morale.APB wrote: ↑28 Jul 2022 06:08Quite honestly, I think Rodgers is overplaying the dramatic effect with that story.
I'm sure it wasn't the DC or position coach who mistook KC for somebody else. It was likely some assistant to the assistant intern who was playing messenger boy on cut day and barely knew his way around the building let alone each player by facial recognition. It was a simple mistake that should be "funny" by now but Rodgers is still seemingly butthurt over it. And it didn't even directly involve him.
It's like he was/is seeking out reasons to be mad at the organization. If one didn't know any better, you'd think he was some sort of diva...
It's a funny story when it comes to Kenny C (woulda loved to see Gutey's face if Kenny had walked in with his playbook...), but not at all funny if it has happened with ANY fringe players. When it comes to livelihoods of players, gotta make sure to handle it with class and care. Step one: get a competent Turk.Labrev wrote: ↑28 Jul 2022 08:17I agree with Rodgers; that can't happen. I can think of no (good) reason why it would.
When an employee $%@# up that badly, they get disciplined (or worse), and that is seen as completely rational. Maybe it is. Yet if one of the bosses -- someone with *more* responsibility i.e. greater consequences for their actions -- does the same, we are just supposed to laugh it off? In this case, over a man's whole livelihood.
Give me a break. I am glad to know Rodgers has been changing the culture there and been making them respect the players better. I for one would certainly expect this proud franchise to perform better in this department than a Mark Davis, Mike Brown, or whoever-run club. It's high time we actually did.
This probably happened before Gute was GM and perhaps AR was commenting on how much better things are now?APB wrote: ↑28 Jul 2022 06:08Quite honestly, I think Rodgers is overplaying the dramatic effect with that story.

Kenny Clark's 3rd year, the year AR alleged this to have happened, was Gutekunst's first year as GM (2018).Pugger wrote: ↑28 Jul 2022 10:18This probably happened before Gute was GM and perhaps AR was commenting on how much better things are now?APB wrote: ↑28 Jul 2022 06:08Quite honestly, I think Rodgers is overplaying the dramatic effect with that story.

Wow. I give you props 23 for this good share. He’s saying as the season goes on, a***** get tight. That’s 100% leadership. Whether its Rodgers, Lafleur, or both...to get deep in the season and the attitude to be “f this”, is awful!!
Ya, players get 12 to 13 games in and get tired, give up the drive and focus that got them there, and just go awe to hell with it, this is to freaking hard, can't buy his explanation, if anything we end up playing not to lose, and to conservative, we tend to do well in the first few series, get a lead and then just hope to hold on, if ya don't have the peddle to the metal for 60 minutes, you open the door to loseDrj820 wrote: ↑07 Aug 2022 13:02Wow.

Interview made me respect Tonyan even more too.
This also goes back to what I had been saying about how even though rodgers and Crosby have “been there before”, nobody acts like they’ve been there before in the playoffs

actually I think it's a natural tendency to go into protective mood when your ahead, we see boxers and other athletes do it all the time, McCarthy use to preach that mistakes are the number one reason teams lose, and I think thats what we see, to often though the mistakes happen when players become tentative to, trying to protect a lead, obviously there must be a good balance to this, just my thoughtsDrj820 wrote: ↑07 Aug 2022 16:30LeadershipYoop wrote: ↑07 Aug 2022 15:35Ya, players get 12 to 13 games in and get tired, give up the drive and focus that got them there, and just go awe to hell with it, this is to freaking hard, can't buy his explanation, if anything we end up playing not to lose, and to conservative, we tend to do well in the first few series, get a lead and then just hope to hold on, if ya don't have the peddle to the metal for 60 minutes, you open the door to loseDrj820 wrote: ↑07 Aug 2022 13:02
