Re: The Rodgers Situation
I think there's a difference here between (1) wanting people to feel sorry for you and (2) harnessing fans' emotions for leverage. He could shatter both knees in a car wreck later today and retire tomorrow and I doubt he'd want any sort of sympathy from his fans. At the same time, he's pretty much the most beloved player ever for one of the most sentimental fanbases (which i don't mean as a criticism, GB is actually pretty cool that way, they have so much history and also they're the only franchise owned by their city). I don't think he actually wants pity, I think what he wants is the fanbase to rally behind him to give him leverage. And I don't really fault him for that.

Re: The Rodgers Situation
Well said.
And I agree w/ Donnmass also.
The personnel decision(s) to use premium draft capital to draft a replacement for a MVP caliber QB don’t convey respect nor a desire to pursue a SB w/ Rodgers.
Decisions have consequences and the Packers decisions and etiquette in making those decisions led them to this current Mexican standoff.
Other then spite, i don’t understand why the Packers FO wants to hang on to Rodgers when it seems clear he’s not going to play for them?
Just trade him and get the most value they can and move on.

Re: The Rodgers Situation
No disrespect, Bc, but I highly doubt that you did anything in your 44 year career comparable to the level with which Aaron Rodgers plays qb in the NFL. And that your employer(s) basically hired your replacement while simultaneously denying you the tools you felt you needed to do your job effectively. So no, I don't feel sorry for him. But I can certainly empathize with him.

Re: The Rodgers Situation
I love that Aaron has power over a billion dollar company. So rare is it to see someone who can actually stand up to a giant corporation.

Re: The Rodgers Situation
I thank all of you who replied to my post, even though I know (and knew when I wrote it) that I was in the minority. BTW, Rodgers spells "respect" in this manner = "re$pect"
However, I do respect you all ... Bc

Re: The Rodgers Situation
Look at it like this, whatever comes to fruition, if he does not play, their odds of winning games goes down a lot. Their odds of winning a Super Bowl without him almost non-existent. The amount of revenue lost for not making the Playoffs has do be many millions of dollars. That is why their management is so short sighted. Bottom line is the GM could be costing them 100 million dollars the next 3 years and that is on top of NOT paying Aaron Rodgers with the money he pays back.

Re: The Rodgers Situation
I just read something interesting. Rodgers could opt out the season under the Covid exception and not be penalized a dime.
