Meh, I don't buy that analogy at all. There's way more to a marriage, like children and true investment, that are in that equation. Regardless, it seems to be trending hard that he will be traded. My point is that without the media we wouldn't know about the drama. I don't understand how the relationship with the fans is toxic. We watch him play football. That's the extent of our relationship. I could get that there may be drama with the front office. We don't know what is done and said behind closed doors. They have to coexist day in and day out. Again, I don't pay attention to the national media. My investment is sitting on the couch for three hours and I want to watch the best players that my favorite team can get. There's not much more to it than that. I've enjoyed Rodgers play the last 18 years and would like to extend that a couple years if possible. I do think that it is a win win for the Pack. Either they get Rodgers back or they get a return on an 18 year investment.
Yet, here you/we are discussing and debating it.
I mean, I like talking about the Packers. I'm more interested in the outcome of the player than the "relationship". I want to know if he is going to be our QB or not. Sports are fun!Yet, here you are discussing and debating it.

I'm sorry, I do not know what you speak of.
One thing I would caution though is that we’re arguably wanting results now if we’re the Jets. A #13 plus a current #45 (or equivalent) and $40m over 2 seasons and you get QB #2 in the Postseason. Would you still take QB #1?
Does the fact that they signed him to that contract last year also tell us how they feel or felt? Asking for a friend.
Sure it does, tell us how they felt at the time. Much like a spouse might feel in a marriage that is circling the drain. This whole "they signed him to a new deal, so therefore they must have been 100% happy" argument is really a strawman one. We have no clue just how happy they were and the fact that here we are again, 1 year later, indicates to me, that they must not have been too happy.
Jimmy G. 49ers running game, defense, special teams
Or they badly overrated their roster and coaching staff. Or they incorrectly thought that Adams would stay if AR signed. IMO both. It is quite possible IMO the change of heart had nothing or very little to do with Rodgers and was the result of them waking up and realizing even with him they are a mediocre team.
Good points, nothing happens alone in a bottle in the NFL, lots of factors influence how an individual plays, as well as his individual stats. So to be fair, I would add in OL and receivers.
Could be a little bit of both, but this is the 3rd straight offseason that there has been waffling on both sides. With 2 of those times coming after 13 win seasons. Rodgers was also playing injured most of last year, with mostly rookie and inexperienced WR's, so there is that too.
I’ll just say this. Had we switched QB’s whenever Jimmy Garappolo first started onto those two respective teams?
I just want to see Jimmy throw a 1:1
Again, I don't pay attention to what players are doing in the offseason. I don't care about the darkness retreat or who any of the players are dating. My investment is watching the games. My opinion is that it has been a fun three years. The season started out to be a stinker, but then they turned it around and made a playoff push. It was fun watching McMuffin throw his headset and it was fun whooping the vikings. To each their own, but they have been competitive and that's fun to watch.
Yes I would have traded him after the Tampa Bay fiasco and the BS he pulled post game/off season. Said so at the time.
No offense taken at all. Love talking some football. Obviously, I know of the darkness retreat, but I don't put thought into that stuff. I don't watch ESPN, NFL Network, nothing. I get my info more from reading articles I'm interested in. For example, ones that talk about player personnel and the salary cap. I try to stay away from players personal lives. Don't read it and don't listen to it. Yes, some bleeds over, but I pay no mind to it.
I agree, obviously lol
