Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I think the first and foremost concern before any contract/playing/scheme issues is if Love can actually play at a high level (or at all) in the NFL.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I hope Love doesn't see the field for two years other than lots and lots of mop up duty with 30 point 4th quarter leads. I'd hope the team could still get a lot of evaluation out of him at that point. More likely is that Rodgers gets dinged up more than once and we see snippets of Love sooner than later.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Hub Arkush of Pro Football Weekly was on this morning and said it is well known throughout the NFL that Matt LaFleur is amongst the best, if not the best, in correcting and revising QB Mechanics. In fact, he apparently tweaked Matt Ryan's the year he won the MVP and Ryan also credits him with that. One of J-Lo's primary issue is just that. "Looping wind up" is one of his weaknesses, holding onto the ball too long, pocket awareness, etc. If in fact MLF is one of the best coaches at correcting...

So what you're saying is that Rodgers goes to the Broncos and finally gets his second Super Bowl ring?

I guess the 'out' situation, still costs 17m unless some team picks the whole thing up and we can make a trade. this could be handled by not making the pick...they either mis-calculated the pick, ie: should have NOT made the pick or mis-calculated making 12's money for a longer term. they also converted some $ to guaranteed to get cap savings, i can't remember if that affected the overall term or anything...the team screwed that up one way or the other. if they could have even 'sniffed'...

I sure as hell hope he'd be going for his 3rd by then but I am also a realist and realize nothing was done to make this defense any faster, a key issue in 2019.

Re: Very cool history on AR and how he ended up where he is
I finally got a chance to listen to the interview. And even though I knew most of the story, the way this was told and the few pieces I did not know made the listen worth while. Like AR was the last player with a first round grade on TTs board back in 2005 for example. I haven't heard before. So thanks for posting.

Re: Very cool history on AR and how he ended up where he is
Great listen. Pat Kirwan was the only guy that predicted GB would pick Aaron at 24 in 2005. Ron Turner told Aaron "we've got 3 QBs better than you but thanks for coming". No wonder he loves beating the Bears. Aaron played HS football on a field with a sign that read "Once a Viking. Always a Viking". 15 of the 23 players drafted before Aaron Rodgers in 2005 were out of football or let go by the team that drafted them when Aaron beat Pittsburgh for The Lombardi in 2010. Great post CT

With all the draft stuff going on, it was hard to try to elucidate just how impressed I was with the interviews and the work that Clemens did to piece this all together. I know that BM doesn't have alot of fans for some here based of his past work, but I do enjoy his show and stream it regularly as I work. He has some great guests. Glad some of you are picking up on the tidbits too.

Not 100% accurate. Mayock also predicted a drop to #24

I think Mayock made those comments during the opening first 10 picks. But yes, he also did call GB.

Mayock made the Rodgers pick the night before the draft. I don't think he's hit on another Packers No. 1 pick since.

I was watching last years hail Marys on youtube the other night and I stumbled on this clip. Pretty good stuff but my favorite part starts at 1:38 where Sitton talks about a touchdown against the Bears that didn't count because of a hold. I'm sure most of you remember it cause it was an incredible (non) play. The best part of the video is listening to the Bear's players on the sidelines talking about how good Aaron is. The ultimate compliment is when your rivals talk about you in awe while...

He's not even an active reporter with the ability to talk to "sources" he could previously pull out of his ass when he was employed with JsOnline. He knows no more of this then any of us do.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
They don't want him to "return to form" they want him to run their fucking offense the way they want it run. If he does that, they think they have a chance to win another championship. If he doesn't it's going to be some close-but-no-cigar seasons from here on out. If #12 is the pro he purports himself to be, he will work with the staff and honor their wishes and run the offense as they want it run. If he does that, they have a real shot at winning a title. Last year vs the Whiners (twice)...

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Marcedes Lewis. With Jennings, Nelson and Adams, there was never a good reason for TT to take a WR in the first. I'd say 2019 and 2020 were probably the only drafts since about 2006 that it would have made sense to draft a first round WR, when Jennings was drafted in the second. And if I remember right, Packer fans wanted Chad Jackson with that pick....

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
We took Jennings in the 2nd round in 2006. We could have drafted Vernon Davis at TE, though, instead of AJ Hawk, in the 1st. We also took Abdul Hodge in the 3rd, doubling down at linebacker, which didn't work. The one pro-bowler we missed out on in the third round was Jason Hatcher, who had a decent career on the D-line. We also doubled down on O-line, taking Darren Colledge, and Jason Spitz.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Packers traded out of the 1st and drafted Jordy early in the 2nd, 36th player drafted overall. He could have easily been a 1st but TT went for more picks. He was the 3rd WR taken in the draft. The other 2 were Donnie Avery and Devin Thomas. Who the hell are they?? It also means the Vikings passed him over too.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
Key passage that may be some insight into the front office and coaching staff’s point of view: “There is one parallel that is important here. In the later years of Brett’s tenure, I sensed a feeling around our personnel department that there was, well, too much emphasis on Brett and not enough on our team. I just noticed that when fans and media constantly marveled about Brett, they felt it was ignoring all the work put in by our team as a whole. Current Packers general manager Brian...

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
If baffles me the amount of Packers fans who want to move on from #12. It truly does and I don't think many remember what the Packers QB situation was like before #4 and #12. Anyhow, it is only my personal opinion but I think that Rodgers never lost his form but he is running a different system that is way more balanced than MM's and he also doesn't have the weapons he needs right now. So my guess? The Packers do NOT trade or release AR anytime soon because of of the cap hit and I don't...

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
There's always a good crop of QBs coming out. 3 first round QBs are about the norm. Sometimes 4 and occasional 5 but there are also 2 and sometimes 1 or none. The real question is if you can get one of the guys you like, especially if you are picking later int he round. I suspect that the Packers didn't think Love would be in range when they picked at 30. I saw some rankings of him in the teens overall. To see him at 26 they probably said, WTF, that's value and moved up and got him. Not much...

An excellent opening post & thread. 1 thing I'd like to point out is if Rodgers gets hurt, we're going to see "J-Lo" a lot sooner than 2022.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I haven't seen many, if any, fans saying they want to move on from him. Laying out what is gonna happen doesn't mean they want that to happen, it's just acknowledging that in the NFL, that's how things work.

Re: Rodgers Contract and Future
I think some fans do, but most don't. Chongo posted it above, the front office and the HC want Aaron to run the offense as designed, but its hard when you've been free-lancing at an elite level for so long. When AR was first playing, MM said: "He isn't averse to throwing boring passes" That was a shot at Favray and his improvisational style- the same style that made him exciting to watch AND drove Holmgren/Sherman nuts. Now we're seeing the same thing with AR, he's so used to running the...

Definitely not many in this forum that is for sure because we are the smart Packers fans. I have noticed it quite a bit on social media which I know I should take with a grain of salt that's for damn sure. Satori, GREAT point about the fans haven't gotten used to the different style of offense the Packer use now vs. what we had with MM for all those years.
