What does the hiring of Tom Clements mean?

[sschind]

An attempt to lure Rodgers back.

Another concession for Rodgers coming back.

Hope that he can help develop Love like he did Rodgers.

Hiring the best guy for the job no matter who is the QB.

Just a coincidence.

Clements and Rodgers are close, so I doubt the primary reason for bringing him back is to coach Jordan Love. The front office wants Rodgers to return and they're making the situation as appealing as possible for him.

...but should AR choose to move on or retire (don't really believe that's much of an option right now) Clements is onboard to coach-up Love. Hadn't realized how young Love is... will be his 3rd year in the NFL and doesn't turn 24 until Nov. '22.

I think the number one idea is to please Rodgers and get him back. But it's also a fallback if he doesn't come back to develop Love. Covering all the bases.

 

[KiDcUdI]

The purpose is keeping Rodgers but more importantly keeping Love off the field.

Bad sign

 

[Budman]

I believe they have had discussions with AR about this and that is why Clements is coming back. It would be hard to believe, but not out of the question for this front office, that they would hire the guy as a lure. That wouldn't be good business, imo.

Will Rodgers change because of this hiring ? He seems to do his own thing anyway.

What do you mean change. If you mean change the way he does things then no I don't believe he will. Like you said he does things his own way. If you mean change his mind about staying or leaving? I don't think so. I believe he has made up his mind. Whether or not the Packers are aware of his decision I don't know.

My personal belief is Rodgers is coming back and bringing back Clements was part of the package. I don't know if it was a Rodgers insistence or a Packers offering.

I meant he`ll still be the same and torture the fans and organisation with his will he or wont he crap. I`m sorry I know it`s an unpopular thing to say around here but I think he now thinks he`s bigger than the organisation and I`ll be glad to see him go.

It means he will be our QB coach

Well, if that's the case, it was nice having a decent defense for one year.

He's gotta go.

It's a carrot dangling in front of Rodgers. The biggest carrot to keep Rodgers in GB would be to tag or sign Adams though. Otherwise, Clements is just Love's tutor which is fine with me.

Probably all of the above.

 

[BrokenArrow]

I think they hired him back because they need someone to get Rodgers back on track. His tunnel vision problems with Adams didn't really start until TC left the team. Maybe they brought back because he's one of the few people Rodgers will listen to.

 

[Phil Young]

A good proven QB coach has to be a good thing for ALL the QB's in green Bay. & yes that includes Love. You never know in this game when any one player will go down. How many concussions has Rodgers had?

If they need any volunteers ?

 

[lambeaulambo]

I do not know if Clements matters as far as tunnel vision for 17 is concerned. A lot of chuck n duck MM years for Clements, I do not think that matters at all. Maybe he will grow dreads - Buggar would love that. lol

You might want to consider that Nelson still being on the roster when Clements was here was the main reason Rodgers didn't target Adams more often.

With that being said I'm not a huge fans of hiring Clements just to appeal Rodgers.

He never zeroed in on Nelson like he does Adams. He focuses on Adams to the exclusion of other receivers who are wide open, and I'm not just talking about the last game either.

Three. One in the last 12 years. All were mild.

The Packers had significantly more talent at wide receiver around Nelson than they had over the past few years aside of Adams.

It shouldn't surprise anyone Rodgers is targeting Adams on a significant percentage of throws.

 

[El Guapo]

Overall, one just has to say that the hiring of Clements means that the QB room will be run well. Of course it was a carrot for Rodgers, but it's just a good move in general.

Favre needed to be re-focused when McCarthy came to town, as did Rodgers when LaFleur was hired...and yet again. For sure Rodgers overlooked throwing options this season, and he needs to figure out how to spread the ball around. There's nothing that gets your best players open better than making the defense have to cover everybody.

Was all for rodgers
