People say that a lot but I think that's just his face.
Who? the only person I've ever heard say it is DRJ, and he says it because he doesn't like Lafleur, Rodgers, Gutekunst, Murphy, Russ Ball, the Groundskeeper, the Custodian, basically everyone not named Rich Bisaccia, and I'am not even sure he likes him
I remember people saying it 2 years ago when Rodgers started doing this, and then again last offseason, and a few random points when we'd lose. Maybe it was DRJ every time...
I was just razzing DRJ some
, some do have the opinion that Lafleur is to mild mannered to be a great coach and hasn't been stern enough with Rodgers, but I think thats over blown, Rodgers imo is no different now then he was with McCarthy, QB's as smart and game savoy as Rodgers all want game management and decision making input, I don't see anything abnormal concerning that between he and Lafleur.
as to Lafleur being afraid to move on from Rodgers with a basically un proven Love, well what coach wouldn't give pause to that?

If your still begging the 39 year old to come back, who takes up all your cap, who threatens retirement every time he doesn’t get his way…when you have a first round draft pick on the roster waiting to take over….
You are scared of life without the pain in a**. Let’s be honest.
Are you relying on the deleted tweet posted by someone bud fox referred to as “some guy” for your evidence of this occurring?
For this instance, yes. But I’ve seen it timeless times myself with own eyes.
what did you see???? and when has he threatened retirement, your creating here say because as far as I know Rodgers never did threaten retirement, and his cap hit is lower then a t least a half doz other QB's.

rodgers has consistently said retirement was a very possible option, pretty much every chance he gets, for a couple seasons now.

I didn't even comment. Just liked your curious post about it. Was Texas.

Flashback to Gute and MLF high fiving in the war room when they got their guy.
Says a lot if he is begging Rodgers to come back.

Rich Eisen says, based on what he has been hearing at the Combine, he believes the Packers want Rodgers to (of his own free choice) leave.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/pa ... dcd1&ei=33
Key Quotes:
“The Packers sure hope Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to come back,” said Eisen when running down a list of rumors he heard at the combine,” said Eisen. “They sure hope that when he comes up with his decision, it is ‘I wish to retire’ or ‘I wish to be traded elsewhere.’ They do not want his response to be ‘Let’s run it back.’
(...)
“When I say I heard that over and over and over again, it’s just like ‘You have no idea what’s going on over there.’
“I cannot sit here and say I have facts from ground zero in Wisconsin and, clearly, Rodgers has told you through his many appearances on McAfee’s show that nobody, like a very, very small subset of people know what he’s thinking.
I’m saying, hot rumor at the combine is the Packers want an answer from Rodgers to be ‘No more.’ Cause I don’t think [they] want to be the ones to end the relationship.”

So they know what they need to do, but they scared to do it.
Much courage.

That's what I was thinking. These are the kinds of situations where not having an owner can present problems IMO.

They don't like the power he has but they know the onfield product will be worse without him.
If it is out of hands what can they do ... that is the planned defence.
It is gutless and rodg3rs should go into the favre handbook and put it on them.
Theoretically speaking. They may actually just want him back and are trying to win football games.

Is kind of funny watching the Jets fanbase and Jets twitter.
Felt like they were trying to talk themselves out of Aaron Rodgers for a while, looking for reasons not to want it, many coming out against it.
Now like a total 180 panic today about rolling with Zach Wilson again.

Scuttlebutt says that Vegas may try to trade for Mac Jones.
There's a lot of doubt that NE is actually intent on moving him, but... we saw some of those tidbits that @BF004 posted about them, so I wonder.
This would also seem to reaffirm LV's disinterest in Rodgers, but it could also help clear the way for the Pats to make a push for him.
Great 3-way trade scenarios started running through my head last night

Michael Silver with some gossip, says the org is exhausted with "high-maintenance, low-commitment" Rodgers.

Yeah so that's Silver, McGinn, Silverstein, and Peter King saying similar things.
Sounds like that's just the reality. To be fair, I felt the same way the past year.

Yet Gute gave Rodgers a contract that only hurts trade value. I could see packers ending up paying some of that huge contract just to make the trade compensation decent

I could imagine the Pats laying low and then trying to get Rodgers on a discount, after the deal with the Jets falls through.
Not likely to occur. But I could see BB waiting for it.

I think if bill wants him, he’d just go get him and figure out the rest after, actually.

There should be no fear. You get a total pass when you move on from Rodgers. You're eating the dead cap, you've got a starting QB who most people would expect to struggle a bit. And you don't have an owner, so you've got at least two years to make a run before the brass even thinks about moving on.
