@Grave Digger posted:The “Packers didn’t handle their superstar player” narrative is a cop out. Anyone think TT was good at polishing Rodgers’ dick? They were together for a decade. Rodgers was happy because he respected Ted and Ted showed him the money. Murphy and Ball have been around for a decade also, if all of them were so shitty at appeasing Rodgers ego then why did the guy sign TWO more contracts to stay? If you fall into the media trap of “Rodgers has been disrespected, it’s not about money” then you’re a sucker. It’s about fucking money and it’s about guarantees.
I don’t think GB, Rodgers, or extended entities are behind as much of this media coverage as we realize. Everyone ON RECORD is basically saying it will get worked out while it’s exclusively ANONYMOUS sources saying it’s a mess.
Gee, you don't think money and guarantees/security are part and parcel of a thing called a "contract". Nutty.
Now here's the really wild thing. Maybe TT didn't treat Rodgers like a two bit player at a critical time in his career? Oh wait, nobody in their right fucking mind would've thought about replacing Rodgers in the middle of his meteoric career so I guess your little assertion doesn't really hold water. Apples and root beer floats.
See, it's about what's happening right now. It's what's happening around a catalyst of a new GM and fucked up FO restructure with mantras like "sick of the diva crap" and "shut up and play" and "don't be the problem" and my favorite "maybe kinda".
This wouldn't have happened when TT was around because the structure wasn't there for Sled Hill Murphy to get involved. In fact, we absolutely know he didn't do anything because he was so fucking clueless to TT and McVInce heading downhill.
So try again but this time with context.
