Sure...yet this is another deep group.
Im tired with both of the sides here. Packers for screwing this all up...Rodgers for now throwing a fit. Not sure how long its been going and when he first started showing this...but the leak coming today is interesting, that is for sure.
Oh make no mistake - last years draft was an abomination that defied all logic.
Brady also gets to make a lot of calls on team decisions. Helps when you have 26 super bowl rings.
Probably not fair to judge by Brady's standards. Manning didn't, brees didn't, roethlisberger didn't, wilson isn't, etc.
Haven’t looked at all those QBs but several of them did in fact convert their salary. This isn’t the question of taking a pay cut. It’s just about converting salary to a signing bonus. Rodgers refused.
I think Rodgers refused an extension. I think they could have converted some of his salary without his actual permission.
Yep. And he wants more money. He’s doing it this way to prove some petty point. That’s his MO.
You really don't think he told them this months ago and it's just become public because they didn't believe him and didn't do anything?
The timing of when they told him no extension to now offering it will be interesting to know.
2nd lowest completion percentage allowed in college football. (Press coverage only?)
Agreed it just sucks they’ve spent so much recent draft capital on DBs. Jaire was a HR, King mediocre and Jackson, Randall and Rollins huge busts. Really hope this Stokes kid can play.
Agreed. At some point you have to realize that maybe we're not good at drafting certain positions and just fill it via FA. The last 10 1st round picks are defense and Rodgers' replacement. And the defense still has a lot of room for improvement. Could argue they'd be really hurting if not for the FA Smith signings. I don't blame Rodgers one bit for saying F-off.
They used 6 of their last 9 first picks on defensive backs, so you'd expect it to be a position of strength. I guess you could say Gutekunst seems to be a bit better at it than Thompson and his group were in their last couple years. I don't like the idea of a track guy playing football, but obviously its a position of need and all we can do is wait to see how he pans out.
Would have been cool with that too. I think there are still some very good receivers out there if they want to go that route.
Let’s get a little crazy and move up 3 spots to Cleveland.Alex P Keaton said:
with 10 picks this year, giving up a little draft capital to get your guy and silence the noise that Rodgers & the “experts” are drumming up seems like a really good idea. Filling the CB need is SOP for GB, flip the script just a lil bit.
Great player <> great leader. A good leader doesn't air out his dirty laundry in public and set a bad example for his teammates.
I don't disagree
You're right, but I honestly don't know what the organization did that offended or disrespected him so much. Draft a QB last year as an eventual replacement someday. Kind of like when they drafted him when they already had Favre? By offering him an extension (which he didn't accept)?
I think it's the moving up. I think it was the change in coach and style. It was the frustration of the bad year when he was forced into a new offense.
That's a good summary of what I was thinking as well.
He forced the new offense though. It was him that led to McCarthy’s end in GB. Also...that new offense was the #1 scoring offense last year and made him MVP. I don’t think LaFleur is a sore spot with him at this point. IMO he is caught in the middle.
A stab in the back? After three seasons where people were questioning what he had left...the numbers were not great even before the new offense. And they took a project at QB that they and he knew would sit for at least 2-3 years.
Hopefully center keeping Jenkins at guard or allowing Jenkins to slide to tackle til Bahktiari is ready.
Maybe so...he wanted a different choice. Seemed the right choice by the team though.
