From Page 65 of the closed thread:
@artis posted:Totally legitimate concern about the front office. But concerning yourself only that it IS a situation, while refusing to acknowledge every facet that potentially played a part, is choosing what you want to see. For all the Colin Cowherds and Alex Smiths of the world seemingly backing the argument, there are plenty we can dig up who have said Aaron Rodgers- diva, impossible to please, wants to run the show, etc. That is what's moot at this point, especially in light of the fact that Rodgers outright loathes the gossip mentality from media, but has no issue using it to further his case.
Also interesting how we continue to hear solicited opinions from players, coaches, scouts, personnel people around the league, but pay no mind to the idea that Rodgers himself might exercise undue influence within and outside the locker room. Warning potential FA's that he may not be in GB could be taken as a heads up favor, or creating further damage to the organization beyond the scope of one's own personal situation. It's a matter of perspective. Is that Rodgers acting as the people's QB?
The confusing and clouded narrative is being allowed to run amok, yet still justified somehow because the FO is so blatantly incompetent. We can say it til we're blue in the face- they FUCKED UP. And yet, the one thing still floating around this entire soap opera continues to remain a huge question. What does Rodgers WANT??? It's been speculated to death, and even when he opens his mouth, it only leads to further speculation. I cannot understand how the argument that people need to do right by him could possibly fly in the face of the way he's conducted this revenge tour or whatever the F it is. Call it calculated, diabolical, ingenious, whatever. But saying the organization hasn't been up front and square with you while you willingly use back channels and slippery language and by your own silence encourage the speculation you know is sure to result has inflamed this well beyond the litany of screwing up his employers have supposedly done.
Seriously not trying to be a dick but I don't have any other way of putting it.
Summary: why doesn't Rodgers tell the fans what he wants?
It simply doesn't work that way and hence the reason I'm not particularly interested. We don't know what's happening as far as discussions. We as fans have a shaky outline but the one thing we can absolutely confirm since it's coming from all quarters is the FO fucked up in handling Rodgers and respect is the key issue.
The argument may take a different tact or flavor simply depending on whether one thinks there's a resolution or not. I personally am in the not category so any particular minutiae in defining Rodgers character or actions is meaningless. Hence, how the hell did it come to this in the first place?
I should add, how did it come this in the first place with a HOF MVP QB well within a Super Bowl window that is all but gone when he's gone. To this very minute I am just gobsmacked on how fucking daft that FO is. Not because of the Rodgers the petty, miserable, whatever whatever but because HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW YOU JUST FUCKED YOURSELF OUT OF ANY POSSIBLE CHANCE AT A SUPER BOWL BECAUSE "SHUT UP AND PLAY"? Sorry, absolutely had to fake online yell because I'm still just fucking dumbfounded by it. How are you so absolutely ironclad on moving on from Rodgers after 2021 no matter what?
That seriously is the major blood vessel throbbing behind my eye
