No real surprise here......you know, if there is any truth to this writers opinion.
If Aaron Rodgers does want out of Green Bay, he ought to decide upon his future soon with the Packers. Aaron Rodgers emerged from the darkness last Wednesd...

Do you even care to read those articles you link to? There's absolutely no new information in this one and it doesn't indicate Rodgers having made a decision by now would have made any difference.
Actually, I don't need Peter King to tell me that it doesn't make (and never did) a whole lot of sense for the Texans, Colts, Raiders and Panthers to trade for Rodgers as all of them are more than an elite quarterback away from being legit contenders. Especially if they need to give up significant draft capital to acquire him.
As I have said all along the Jets are the only team that truly makes sense to be interested in a trade for Rodgers. Unfortunately that might result in the compensation for the Packers to be less than a lot of fans currently expect.
I might agree more in certain seasons. However 2021 was not the same as 2022 for the Green Bay Offense. We just lost arguably the best WR to QB duo in the NFL. We can’t just plug in a new WR and expect to garner another MVP performance. It takes a bit of luck and a whole lot of commitment to getting the remaining options to speed. Especially after drafting 3 new WR’s (2 of which would have to start) and only having really 2 bonafide, in system WR’s left in Cobb and Lazard. I think the bulk of members in here would agree that relying on a Rookie WR to assume the role of WR1 or even WR2 is just too optimistic. So why act like we won’t miss a beat? Lazard is not 1400 yard guy and never will be.
That’s an offseason that I disagree with operating “business as usual”. It’s just not a usual offseason imo. In particular here because the Packers also displayed their commitment through a record breaking contract and #12 should’ve reciprocated.
Is it absolutely mandatory? No. However not everything in life that is allowable is beneficial or edifying for all those involved.
My point is that it's completely unrealistic to expect that Rodgers showing up for OTAs would have made a significant difference. As you correctly pointed out, the Packers lacked talent at pass catchers and the quarterback being here for nine days of glorified walkthroughs wouldn't have improved the talent level among the group at all.
By "Peers", do you mean only those super close to Rodgers? I have no idea who Rodgers knows and how well he knows them, same with Klecko.
Yet you feel Klecko's opinion is important enough to share it with the world despite there being no evidence of him actually knowing anyone on the Jets roster or Rodgers
Typically, we hear most of the negatives after the smoke has cleared, more is known and players are no longer linked by the same employer, The NFL.
I agree with that take. Yet there have only been two former players who have spoken negatively about Rodgers. And I don't put a whole lot of stock into Finley and Jennings.
If you or anyone reacts to an article like the Klecko one with a "oh hell, just another person shooting their mouths over things they don't know anything about", I understand that, but how do you or I know that they don't know what they are talking about? I also acknowledge that most of what we talk about and hear, when it comes to Rodgers is speculative.
Yet you consider those negative spin of Rodgers as a fact.
However, if those conversations upset people, I find it funny that they jump in and feel like they need to defend his character with the same argument(s), when it comes to others opinions. Defending a guy that they know very little about, except for things that they have decided are acceptable as information.
I'm not upset at all. I truly believe that people need to realize that most articles posted on the web completely lack any credible information and should be considered click-bait first and foremost. Unfortunately most people lack the ability to figure that out.
Are you referring to Klecko's comments on whether he thinks Rodgers would be a good fit for the Jets or not? He is merely giving his opinion on how he thinks Rodgers would fit in, on a team that he used to play for and I assume he is still connected to. Explain to me why his opinion should be viewed as someone who doesn't know what he is talking about? This isn't a trial. I am not using his "testimony" to come to a verdict.
There's no evidence Klecko knows any of the current Jets players nor Rodgers. Therefore I don't see any reason to put more stock into his opinion than anyone else around here for example.
Exactly. I think for some, if your opinion doesn't mesh with theirs, you have no right to that opinion, because you are basing your opinion on others opinion, that they also don't agree with.
You're completely off on that one as well. In my opinion it's a terrible approach to rely on opinions of people who don't have any inside information while completely ignoring the facts.
When talking about Rodgers, if the Packers are truly that fed up with him as you believe why did they sign him to an extension last offseason? If there are a ton of players considering him a terrible leader as you suggest why didn't they quit once they fell to 4-8 last season but rallied around him to nearly make the playoffs?
You haven't been able to answer any of those questions as it actually indicates the Packers aren't done with him. On top of it, you continue to ignore stories like the one Keisean Nixon told during the season because it doesn't fit your narrative.
Side note, sometimes I and others write "IMO" (In My Opinion). Seems like when you forget to add that, certain people want to assume you are trying to be 100% factual. Would be a pretty boring forum and life for that matter, if all we discussed were 100% proven facts.
Well, it helps if you don't post stuff like "It's a fact Rodgers has put himself above the team" in the first place.
As I have said before, it is disappointing that the FO has to once expend so much time and resources towards all of the "what if this, this or this happens" scenarios around 1 fricking player, but when you have Rodgers at QB, seems you have to put up with that every offseason.
As I have suggested before, the Packers front office should force Carr to make a decision as well as the Ravens to figure out what they're doing with Lamar moving forward so the front office doesn't have to deal with those factors either.
Yeah even his number 1 buddy, Steven A. Smith said Rodgers is working harder to create headlines than winning championships.
I advocate to not put any stock into anything Steven A. Smith or any other of those talking heads is saying.
) so don't think he's privvy to AR's mind-set. Hopefully AR decides soon so that Gute (& we) know how GB will proceed into the '23 season.
Can it be re-titled "Forum members disgruntled..."? I know we're all yearning for some actual football and/or Packer news but a little patience would be nice as it'll be coming?
