The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

Totally this. Was actually really surprised he signed such a traditional contract at the time.
this is so funny, most of this place wanted Rodgers to be the most expensive player in the league, it was some sort of sic o bragging point. I was against the contract extension at the time, in fact I said we could tag him for a year or two if we couldn't get him to accept the terms, then Murphy handed him the years and guarantee's, no way I blame Rodgers for taking it, and he sure as hell figured he'd get to finish it, who wouldn't, provided he was healthy and still playing at a high level, you people are being less the honest here.BF004 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 15:46Totally this.

Find a way to keep Aaron pist off, but not mad enough to not play. Win the damn Super Bowl, get a lot of picks for Aaron, cut some fat off the salary, anyone not still in their prime in 3 years, and let’s kick off chapter 3 of this HOF run we’re on.
If we get rid of Rodgers thats not cutting fat off the cap. Its muscle.BF004 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 15:46Totally this. Was actually really surprised he signed such a traditional contract at the time.

Denver isnt so bad in terms of talent. One of the better defensive coaches in the league. They have a solid defense in general and you also have to think how Denver did things to win the Super Bowl when they acquired Manning. It was very Brady like. They went out and got players to help him win.Drj820 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 16:40No idea how or why Rodgers would prefer to go to a denver team with an incomplete roster anyways, that we just ransacked to complete the grade in a city that isn’t in Cali that plays in the same division as the chiefs.
It makes no sense Denver would be on his list of potentials.
Sure. Havent seen any signs of that considering he just had the 2nd greatest QB season of all time only behind himself.TheGreenMan wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 16:46Muscles weaken over time though Lupe.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 16:42If we get rid of Rodgers thats not cutting fat off the cap.

These situations are seldom about the "next" destination. It's about getting away from where you are now and whatever the next place is giving you more of what you supposedly want.Drj820 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 16:40No idea how or why Rodgers would prefer to go to a denver team with an incomplete roster anyways, that we just ransacked to complete the grade in a city that isn’t in Cali that plays in the same division as the chiefs.

Aaron took the contract extension when he did, because the earlier you get the guarantees, the earlier you are protected against injuries. AR hadn't been an ironman up to that point. The team assumed the risk in the early years in exchange of having more options at the back end of the deal (and while the extension was massive, it wasn't as much as he would've gotten as a UFA).Yoop wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 16:28this is so funny, most of this place wanted Rodgers to be the most expensive player in the league, it was some sort of sic o bragging point.

find a way to keep Aaron pissed off, wow.
ya I only mentioned the tag because I didn't want to do the extension, I wanted McCarthy fired and a new coach first, it was so obvious that McCarthy was being stubborn with adjusting the schemes, I even outlandishly claimed Rodgers refused to take the check downs, purposely during stretchs of games when the outcome was not in danger, now I admit I was probably wrong about that, but my point was that Rodgers wanted more then just a few check downs and slants to encompass short passing schemes but thats all McCarthy was willing to give him.salmar80 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 16:57Aaron took the contract extension when he did, because the earlier you get the guarantees, the earlier you are protected against injuries.

The contract is working exactly as intended: AR was totally safe the first years, and now it's team option years with a QB approaching 40 years of age. There's no way AR didn't foresee this. Even if we hadn't drafted Love, it was gonna be year-by-year from 2021 onwards. And no GM is gonna touch that contract with 3 years remaining, next year is the very earliest there would even be talks. It was a fair deal.
This drama isn't arising from a bad contract, it's other things.

Kinda funny you, yoop, wanted us to try and play the tag game with AR. Yeah, I'm sure THAT would've gone swimmingly and he wouldn't have gotten bitter and vindictive and bolted after a tag year at all....
haha, the warden would never allow me this much time to argue on a PC

As for respect, that's a 2 way street. Stop crying in public or even worse, having " your people " do it for you.
Show some balls and do it yourself.
Funny, aren't you the same guy who moans about players that weren't drafted by the Packers. If you don't like somebody's point of view, then stop throwing yours's around.Yoop wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 14:31well you can be tired of it all you want, it's human nature, and no different with high priced athletes, respect is shown with contract dollars orrrr the simple courtesy of being included even to a modest degree with team (company ) decisions.Christo wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 14:14I have to say, I'm really tired of hearing about players claiming they want " security " The guy signed a contract that is going to pay him in excess of a 100 million dollars.

your the one spouting nonsense here, Players of Rodgers caliber, just like top level employees are given input with CO/ team decisions regularly, or at least allowed to share there opinions, all those GM's and CO CEO's must be idiots then according to you.Christo wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 18:15Funny, aren't you the same guy who moans about players that weren't drafted by the Packers.

And again, anyone who gives a player say in the construction of any roster is an idiot.
If I'm not mistaken, Jimmy Graham was kept around for an extra year because Rodgers wanted him. He liked having somebody close to his age on the team.Yoop wrote: ↑30 Apr 2021 19:20your the one spouting nonsense here, Players of Rodgers caliber, just like top level employees are given input with CO/ team decisions regularly, or at least allowed to share there opinions, all those GM's and CO CEO's must be idiots then according to you.
ya like everyone else here I have a opinion about players the Packers don't take, after all this is a message board.
