I mean, I get Rodgers being done with Green Bay, Green Bay is flat out wasting a HOF QB.   

There 2020 draft of going QB in the first, RB in the 2nd....is inexcusable.  I think that was the nail in the coffin. Then he still goes and puts up a MVP season and comes up short.  

It was said, when Watson was making his attempted move out that it was always just a  matter of time before that mentality made it's way to the NFL.  

I mean, Rodgers isn't a likable guy.  But a likeable guy would be making a fair stand IMO in this scenario.  Rodgers gonna catch some flack because he is a jerky in general.

Could be worse.   They could be the Texans.

I guess it depends on whether you'd rather fall just short of the Super Bowl or not even make the playoffs.

Some people really hate getting close only to miss out.

Probably safe to say Aaron Rodgers is one of those people.

They've absolutely done some dumb sh-t, with the Jordan Love pick probably being the worst move in recent memory.

That said, it's one thing to complain. Covertly doing things to sabotage your team is a dick move.

decent odds this is GB just trying to make Rodgers look bad. 

I don't think Rodgers was calling folks up and going out of his way to do anything.    Someone asks him?  I'm sure he was pretty blunt about how he saw things.  Sure looked to most like GB was trying to plan for life after him and wasn't doing much for him.  What is he suppose to say? 

I just think if Rodgers appeared to be nice and likeable guy....his public support would be better.

Also taking a CB in the first round instead of offensive help yet again was a nice gesture.

Hence why I say "Green Bay is a mess" rather than just "Rodgers is a dick".

Granted, he is a dick. He's also a dick with some legitimate complaints.

Picking out who's the good guy and who's the villain in this story is... complicated.

It's possible, I suppose, but I took this as that during conversation he was telling people that he didn't know if he would be/not planning on being there moving forward, rather than going out of his way to call people to tell them or intentionally trying to sabotage the team as it were.

just this offseason we have seen Watson, Wilson and now Rodgers try to flex some power on their franchises.  That's a trend. 

a trend I think Brady likely helped influence.  Yeah, Brady didn't flex to get out....but he took his talents to somewhere that wanted to win right now.  And that team on top of that gave Brady a pretty big say in roster acquisitions.

      Peyton Wilson and Will Shipley

      yeah, I think that side sort of emerged at the end of the prior year too and just stuck.  The Gamecock game specifically.  Didn't he have to apologize for saying too much after Dabo botched that one on trick plays and stuff?  But I mean, I think he was right.  Not that you want your player saying the correct thing publicly lol.   Think he just got frustrated Clemson could of won more games than they did....if it was just about that and not trying to develop DJ and then Cade.  I mean, I do think running and grinding out Shipley/the ground game and playing D....probably could of won some of those losses.  and that CJ Spiller incident on the sideline is a legit dislike moment this past year.   And I largely ding most guys hard for those type things.  Which I probably give him a pass on.  end of the day, I just want a natural pass catcher in the backfield and to round out the backfield better.  I forget about Trotter in this draft.  I do think if a Tiger is signed, it's a front 7 guy.  Just like fearing them overdrafting Shipley.  Part of me worries about Ruke.

      Blank? I’m not a fan of owners being overly involved in draft day decisions, that’s what you hire the GM for, but you should at least be involved enough to veto a decision like this if it is something you would be “furious” over. Also, they knew they were doing this before the draft. The first 7 picks played out pretty much exactly how everybody thought they would. This couldn’t have been a surprise. I don’t know if I’m buying that Blank didn’t know what was going on. Maybe just trying to play good guy with Cousins to keep him on board.
