AR has over 30 million reasons to STFU and play football... at a high level.

Yes, and his name is Equinimeous St. Brown and he's already on the roster EQ's a better WR in 2020 than all but a few of the WR's that fans were lathered up for in the draft. He's a top athlete, he's been in the system for 2 years, he's in tip top shape and he won't be negatively impacted by the abbreviated offseason like a rookie would. WRs often come into their own in year 3, he's in year 3 https://www.mockdraftable.com/...equanimeous-st-brown He's also proven himself on the field and in...

I hopes you right. I like EQ, he was doing some good stuff in the slot but he's still a wait and see proposition.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I am also hopeful EQ is a legit #2...problem is, we've got a bunch of WR in the same mold. We could have really used someone more in the Cobb or Gerg mold to round out this unit. Funchess, EQ, Lazard, MVS...all kinda the same dude. Outside of 17, we just don't have an explosive guy. But, that said, few rookie WR make an explosive impact in their first year.

So GB should pin their hopes on a guy drafted at the end of the 6th round that has basically done nothing in the league and is coming off an injury that put him on IR. Solid plan indeed.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
It’s gonna be really funny in 3 years when GB flips Jordan Love for a high 1st rounder and re-signs Rodgers into his 40’s. Manufactured drama is dumb...GB wants Aaron Rodgers until he doesn’t want to be in GB anymore or until he hangs it up. Murphy isn’t going to allow the summer of 2008 to happen again and if he allows it then he should be fired. GB was tired of Brett’s retirement bullshit, Aaron won’t waffle and they won’t take a hard stance with him like they did Brett.

Bert is just being the pot-stirring twat we've all come to know. Just because he and 12 have mended fences doesn't mean his corn-pone bullshit is any more sincere. Don't fool yourselves...he'd love nothing more than shit to go south between 12 and Gutenwhacker/MLF. Move along here...nothing to see...

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Don't worry about Rodgers. He has stated publicly that he is aware that he may not finish his career in GB. He's a pro, and a damn good one at that. He knows it's a business.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Cobb is an Old Style slot, but MLF likes the bigger guys who can handle the pounding inside and are smart enough to handle the changes at the LOS. When MLF was in ATL, he had Sanu in the slot. When MLF was in LA he had Cooper Kupp in the slot. Both of those are big WRs 6'2 and 200+ - not at all in the mold of the old slot WR. Gute commented on his WR stable as well: "I think generally smaller guys have a harder time staying healthy than bigger guys," Gutekunst said On the explosion side,...

A quick glance at gossip haven PFT says all we need to know about what is driving this story. When 4-5 of your top 10 blog posts are GB/Rodgers/MLF/Love oriented, you know that milking this story for all it's worth will pay the bills, no matter how much BS you have to sling. GB was 8-3 and about to run the table on the reg season in 2019, and Florio was still insisting there was a feud destroying the locker room. Add to that the fact that quarantine has left outlets scraping the bottom of...

If, or more likely when the Pack moves on from Rodgers after the 2021 season to allow, then 3rd year player, 2020 1st round pick Jordan Love his shot at QB Rodgers legacy will be pretty, pretty close to Favre's legacy. Great QB who won 1 SB in his 14 years as a starting QB. Then, the debate will ensue whether it was Rodgers who failed to lead the Pack to multiple Super Bowls or the Packer organization that failed to surround Rodgers with sufficient talent. I think within the loyal fan base...

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I think what’s key is it’s tough to round out your roster when you are paying the QB 15-20% of your cap. This is the concern I have with Rodgers. I know that’s what the market rate is for decent QBs, but take a look at the highest paid QBs in the league. Ryan, Stafford, Cousins, Goff, Rodgers. All of those teams have flaws or holes in the roster. And they can’t be filled unless you hit home runs in the draft or don’t miss at all on free agents. NFL teams are set up by where you draft a young...

Rodgers is a big picture thinker. He’s concerned about global issues. To think he’ll respond the same way as Favre is ridiculous. Favre has wide open empty space between his ears. Doesn’t mean I didn’t like him as a QB.
Reply
Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I agree. I don't know what's in AR's head but he sure seems like a guy who is a realist about his situation and truly cares about his legacy as a Packers QB. He knows the big picture and has said he is a realist about how long he can play and surely he heard the Gute quote that he would consider a QB high in the draft. As for Favre? As if the media isn't bad enough (Floria is a Spermhead fan BTW) along comes Bert who once again seems petty with his vendetta against the Packers.

No shit. Equanamious St Ruvell Janis, at your service. Now, if you want to believe MVS had a "sophomore slump", that's probably a stretch as well, but at least there's more to go on.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Ok I admit that the attached highlight real has some promising moments so I’ll give you that. I still think GB needed/needs to add a bonifide #2 guy to add to the offense. Sure, AL and even EQ could develop into that legit guy but banking on it seems a bit of a stretch, especially at this point in AR’s career.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I think BG and MLF agree they needed an upgrade at WR, based on pre and post draft comments. Just "didn't fall that way".

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Still have vivid and painful memories of the NFC championship game and remain more concerned about the porous run defense than the receivers (though I agree they needed to upgrade).

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Good to review the EQ video. He's a little faster than I remembered, and he does have some shiftiness. Let's see if he can stay healthy and on the field. If he does work out to a No. 2, then fielding Adams, EQ, and Lazard as your top three is not a bad lineup -- not a Jordy/Cobb/Gerg lineup, but terrible. Your 4 is Funcheese and 5 is WWJ, MVS or some other acronym.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
All the speculation and supposition on when GB could release Rodgers seems to ignore the real possibility that the Packers remain 1 of the 5 or 6 best teams in the league with Rodgers as QB for another 4 or 5 years.

The funniest thing about Favre's statement is that he said something to the effect of "I can guarantee you this, and I don't know for sure, but I can guarantee...." Lol.

Bert is a slapdick attention whore. People lap up his aww shucks corn-pone bullshit like it's ice cream. Trust nothing that comes out of his mouth that pertains to 1265. Also, I don't think he and 12 are quite the 'ol pals Bert likes to think. I think they are friendly, but I don't think they are palling around.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Bert wants to create the scenario that would serve him best. Nothing more. Dragging the organization and helping AR come full circle could only help #4's legacy. Rodgers is probably at least 10 times smarter than Rube, so even if he felt a need for vindictiveness, he understands what a hypocrite that would make him in the public domain. Personally, I think Rodgers will come to camp and quite enjoy showing the rook just how good he still is, and possibly come to enjoy the unofficial process...

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Don't disagree but from what I've been hearing the Pack liked Jefferson & Aiyuk both of them out of reach. The last player available in the Packer tier was the QB.....so they took their guy. One last thought.....Fuck the Vikings from here to eternity.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I can see this happening. If Rodgers does that, he totally cements his legacy in GB and the NFL. There are so few QBs who mentor young players. Here's what I can see happening: in the first year, Rodgers primarily shows Love what to do and how to do it but Love has to ask, and in games Rodgers is absolute dynamite. In the second year, Rodgers starts to help Love in diagnosing defenses, setting up plays, etc.; in other words, he becomes a teacher as well as a mentor. If Rodgers were to do...

I've been baking my own bread, dinner rolls, buns, etc. for years. Buying bread products without all the "extras" in it costs too much. I use my bread machine to mix up the dough because of the arthritis in my hands. I've gone through two or three machines without ever using the baking cycle - I shape and bake in my oven.

Rodgers Contract and Future
There has been a lot of chatter this weekend about Rodgers, cap impacts, does he play out the contract, when does it make sense to move on, etc So, let's lay this out for all. The data on AR's contract is here The tl;dr summary: His contract makes it virtually impossible to move him before the end of the 2021 season but makes pretty easy to move on after 2021/before 2022 season. I think this is all pointing to 2 more years of AR, a trade, and then handing the reins to Jordan Love in...

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Yeah, with the way QB's are treated these days he's not going to retire until his body and arm tell him it's time. And why leave a team that is absolutely loaded on the OL to start over somewhere else? He might still hate Gutey and WMM with a white hot passion but if you like your coaches and teammates, fuck those other guys.
