@packerboi posted:I think Brandt is looking at this in a sort of Devils Advocate kind of way. So let’s say GB in fact collects a world championship at the end of the season.
Rodgers decides he wants to keep playing but the FO, cap strapped, moves on from Rodgers, Z Smith and Adams.
Rodgers and GB negotiate an agreeable trade and the Packers receive 3 number 1 picks and another day 2 pick. Also keep in mind this a lousy draft for QBs in 2022.
GB is now fresh off a world title, now has a young QB, that right or wrong , they believe is ready to be the next franchise QB. They’ve collected a ransom for Rodgers plus shed cap dollars. They then use those number 1 extra picks to help re-tool the team over the next 3 seasons as Love improves each year and are in much better cap shape.
If you take out the emotions of wanting Rodgers to still be here, and the above actually would happen, I think Brandt’s point is those are the kind of moves and decisions smart franchises make. Without loyalty, fan fare etc playing into it
And maybe that’s not all that crazy…
Walk away from a HOF QB that can still play at an MVP level. There is only one scenario why Rodgers isn't signed to this team, he wants nothing to do with Green Bay.
They let Rodgers walk or fucked things up where he doesn't want to stay that fucking FO should be burned to the ground.
