Ill bet if you asked pretty much any player in the league if there was a player on another team they would like to play with you would get the same answer.
Absolutely and I’d even agree with much of that is normal and acceptable, to a point. But they wouldn’t necessarily use this fragile, ongoing situation as a way to propel themselves. You see it’s as much about the timing. That’s why I’m not liking this Rodgers thing. He allowed it to explode on draft night and not once set the record straight or defended his employer. I know it’s tough to take the high road, we’d rather get even. But doing the next right thing is far more important in the long run. We’ve been really good at cutting player cancer bait and acquiring players with high character, we shouldn’t allow this “pile on” behavior to get out of control. Simply Confront it and move on.
Popular low road? Discuss...I'm not sure what you mean by this
I simply uses him to show how the owners taking a stand can be effective in getting the result you want. That one action got spun into you using personal attacks on someone you’ve likely never met, never worked for, never even read a book about. It’s like you were too busy looking for style points by attacking him. That’s very much “He that casts the first stone” behavior. I don’t want to see anyone get lost on that path. Not even people I don’t personally align with. I choose to respect you (and others) through the eyes (lense) of God, because he put you each in my path for a reason. That’s good enough for me.
Exactly and that's how the vast majority of people are forced to go thru life due to the way in which wealth is distributed
I’m not the top 10% by any stretch. But as a middle class guy who has worked hard to get what I have, I don’t use excuses as to why I can’t be in the top 10%. I own it.
Anyone who does not believe that hard work and determination will pay off is deceiving themselves. It’s called playing victim because you don’t want to own it. I don’t blame you fully because it’s a deception being taught in our classrooms from a young age. Entire groups of people are being held back by the victim position. That’s the sad part.
Also interesting that in the same breath you defend Rodgers, you use wealth as an evil. He’s obviously in the top 10% of wealthy people. He should redistribute his wealth to us!
As for @OldSchool101, you're idea on how to run an organization is a recipe to turn the Packers into the Cincinnati Bengals..
Once again you have no idea who I am or what my philosophy has accomplished in the business world, so don’t be so presumptuous. For that personal slight I’m going to simply and calmly nickname you “Notso”, short for “the not so quick”
Vince Lombardi set a standard and his men respected his tough style. Still today it hadn’t changed much, those personnel moves made from the top are not always the best for an individual player or even necessarily popular with casual fans. However if those same decisions propel the team to greatness? The players will eventually put two and two together.. that’s when you win their respect. A leader doesn't win Respect overnight or with unpopular individual decisions (such as dealing with Rodgers antics) it often takes years of perseverance and if they just keep doing the next right thing, success is inevitable in the long run.
Ironically, if we could just take a word out of the Rodgers handbook. Not all is lost..
just r-e-l-a-x.
The same guys that brought on Z and Alexander and Amos and Savage and Gary and MLF are in control. Get outside the box and allow them to finish what they started.
