I can see where Rodgers shouldn't be expected to come to the voluntary workouts. Plane tickets are expensive and he will have only had a 3 month vacation from football. Might as well just have him report for the first game in September, so he can be really well rested. He's already proven that he doesn't want to retire or be traded by settling for a home team discounted extension.

At least his absence will motivate the younger guys to work harder, so that they too might be able to some day take longer vacations away from work and not even be noticed missing.

The good news is that as soon as Rodgers does show up he will trust the new guys right away because they will be high round picks.
Probably smart to still have them all wear name tags for a few weeks into the regular season.

Nice job satirizing the "Rodgers' Dilemma" Poker. It does make me wonder just how much he cares about winning another SB versus continuing to line his pockets.

He's a great QB and has kept GB in playoff contention just about every year. That said, I don't think I'll miss him much when he finally rides off into the sunset. In the mean time, I'll enjoy the winning and at least the chance for another SB.

Yup. Great QB, but I'm just tired of his schtick, as well as the whole money aspect of football in general. I watch people bust their asses off every day, 50 weeks a year and some can barely squeak by. These guys aren't even expected to show up for working out with their teammates, after 3 months of vacation.

Can you imagine if we drafted 2 WR in Round 1? Aaron wouldn’t know what to do with himself.. he’d set his Scotch down and go change his underwear. Then He’d be like Rain Man looking for a Kmart Blue Light Special. He’d probably need to take OTA’s off for extra time, just to make sense of it all.

"tired of his shtick" pretty well sums it up. No surprise he can't keep a relationship going. Great QB, dismal human being.

Are you asking that rhetorically longtime, or do you believe Rodgers will be at minicamp? I agree the more time he gets with the new WRs, the better. But Rodgers isn't inclined to go with the flow........

He'll be there at TC and will get work with the WRs then, at a minimum. I doubt if he'll take any PS snaps.
He isnt going

even the guys busting their ***** 50 hours a week are skipping company picnics to introduce the new guy. I swear some of you look for any and every reason to dig at Rodgers. He can literally tell you the down, distance, personnel, opponent, offensive call, defensive alignment and what player twitched at the wrong moment in some meaningless game from 2009 from recall and some of you act like he's not committed to winning football games because he isn't going to be at the install portion for rookies.

I would really appreciate some evidence of this. He’s done some things i disagree with but I’m unaware of things he’s done to question his moral fiber. I’m not claiming you’re wrong, just asking for examples/evidence for such a strong claim.

At least he still owns the Bears

I haver never seen people here say that Rodgers wasn't a great player, so throwing that out there everytime you feel that he needs to be defended isnt really necessary. He is a phenomenal player, but I think a lot of people question just how much of a team player he actually is. Comparing OTA's to a company picnic to introduce a new guy? Really, do you know what goes on at OTA's?

Look around the league, the Chiefs had 90 guys report for OTA's last year. Raiders, Ravens, Bears, Jets, Panthers and on and on, all had great turnouts.

There's more to team sports than just being the smartest, highest paid, most well know guy on the field. You may think Rodgers is above having to stoop down to the level of attending OTA's again, but I bet his teammates might think differently of him if he did attend.

Did the chiefs win the super bowl? Is mahomes almost 40 with over a decade on the gridiron? Raiders? Ravens? Jets bears? Sure helped them.

Rodgers probably has one of the best work ethics in the league and every day people here question it lol

Every year Rodgers alienates his teammates and every year they play for each other like always. It’s funny kinda

I do actually. If you want to educate yourself on what they consist of, plenty of information online.

Glad to see that your only measure of success is winning a Super Bowl. I guess 31 teams in the league should cancel OTA's, since they only did the Rams any good, who by the way also had great attendance last year.

Did he just have two break ups and maybe a third within the last couple years. Yeah there could be other reasons behind it but it seems pretty consistent that he has problems. He bought a $25 million house with the one girl and less than a year later it was over

You’re something else you know that?

You’re a passive aggressive little twit all over this board. I’m glad you read some articles and are now the expert. It fits your MO on everything lol

I’m the exact opposite of a “only measure of success is a super bowl” person and if you haven’t figured that out by now, we’ll…

Considering Rodgers is at a point in his career where he’s not taking every snap in TC and in season practices because of diminishing returns for a person of his experience, intelligence and age, I hardly think a voluntary OTA months before the season starts with guys that don’t even know the terminology is all that crucial.

Earlier isn’t always better. More doesn’t always equal better.

Having relationships that don’t end in stable, long-term marriage is a sign of being a terrible person? Seems, uhm, to strain credulity.

I don't think any of his past significant others are in long term stable relationships either. People date, people break up, older people tend to move faster in relationships than teenagers like buying homes and while 25M is a significant purchase, every couple years he's been getting 30, 40, 50M dollars up front in addition to other bonuses and salary. He probably could make that purchase with less thought about the future than I could about a small lake cottage.

Show me he's committing to them and then cheating and i'll buy he's a bad guy. Show me he's stealing their cash to fund some gambling or something and i'll buy it. Evidence he beats his women? I know none of the people involved but I can't see I've seen any other evidence than they just didn't get along and called it quits. The fact it didn't turn into some big media fest despite attempts by the media kind of speaks to the decency of both fairly high profile people and the privacy of their breakup.

Many pretend to know why Love or any player for that matter, was picked or shouldn't have been picked. Many did that with Love and they continue to do so today, despite the fact that he has played very little.

You just don't get it. It was foreseeable for almost everybody that Love wasn't going to play any meaningful snaps for all of his rookie deal. That's why I and many others have criticized the pick in the first place.

And never saw a glimpse of the ball after. Was that some sort of payback?

:rolleyes:

That said, I don't think I'll miss him much when he finally rides off into the sunset.

I'm convinced most Packers fans who can't wait to get rid of Rodgers for whatever ridiculous reason would like to have him back after a maximum of one season the team doesn't feature a HOFer taking snaps under center.

Look around the league, the Chiefs had 90 guys report for OTA's last year. Raiders, Ravens, Bears, Jets, Panthers and on and on, all had great turnouts.

Rodgers not showing up for OTAs should be considered a non-issue. Of course some of you will want to make him look worse than Deshaun Watson because of it :rolleyes:

You also don't seem to want to acknowledge that it wasn't as foreseeable 2 years ago, as you want to make it sound. The guy just contemplated retirement, sitting out a season or forcing a trade....twice in the last 9 months, that doesn't even take into consideration his age and his 2 seasons before Love.

As I have said countless times, two years later, it looks like Rodgers has decided to keep playing, has won back to back MVP's and he just redid his contract that otherwise would have expired before Love's did. I agree with the opinion that as of today April 13th, 2022, the Love pick may not have been necessary, but until his time is up in Green Bay, the jury shouldn't be so quick to make their final decision.

If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black. You seem to lose sight of the idea that people have opinions that may differ from yours and you just hate being challenged on them. When someone does, you seem to get very defensive and over aggressive with trying to spout yours and now you have resorted to insults, name calling and trying to demean someone. Good luck in life.....I'm officially done with you.

I haven't seen anyone online or in this forum go anywhere near comparing Rodgers to Watson, but nice try Cap. He has shown up for OTA's in the past, but for some reason he has decided that he doesn't need them anymore. Last year, seems his whole WR group decided to follow suit in support of him and didn't show up. Meanwhile, keep an eye on other teams and who shows up for their OTA's. Yes, they are voluntary, but there is a reason the team incentivizes them for players with bonuses for showing up, the team would like to see them attend. The OTA's are all about building team chemistry and beginning to get in synch with new players during all the non-contact drills. As new players join the Packers, I can see a bigger divide between them and the almighty Rodgers forming. The younger guys, hoping to get their first glimpse of him when he eventually is contractually required to show up.

Good.

Though much like everyone else you've been done with on here, you'll continue to check in, take your shots, then duck back out. This post above is so typical of you. take your digs, your shots, then play the victim.

Though I don't think you were "challenging" my opinion so much as you were making condescending remarks about getting educated about OTA's because as usual, you are the expert. If only I had known about online articles about OTA's maybe I'd be smarter.

Where did I say terrible? Amazes me the words that get so twisted by some

Let's go on

i can see your point and agree

but he doesn't talk to his parents and brother ( could be any number of reasons why)

now 2 break ups ( one where they committed to 25 mill house) and possibly a third where he was engaged

again could be any number of reasons and doesn't mean he is bad at all. It's a pattern TO ME
You don't have it agree

You asked for proof and that is what I can lend
