Aaron Rodgers: Enigma

So this is blowing up on the innerwebs from the documentary. Apparently, thanks to what many believe is very creative editing (AKA FAKE NEWS!), MLF is making it seem like it was one Ted Thompson who was responsible for taking Jordan Love, not Gute.

Since Rodgers also ok'ed what was on the documentary, and has no love for Gute, the conspiracy theory is that Rodgers had the editing team purposefully splice this to make Gute look bad.

Volume UP

🤯I’m sorry— did Matt LaFleur just say that TED THOMPSON was the one that motivated the Jordan Love pick???

From Peter, and yes, this is sarcasm...

If what Matt LaFleur says in the Rodgers doc is true, then Ted Thompson advised Ron Wolf to trade a first-round pick for Brett Favre, drafted Aaron Rodgers as GM, and advised Brian Gutekunst to draft Jordan Love.

That’s … wow.

Yeah Gutey wasn't behind the Love pick. He also wasn't behind the deal to send Rodgers to Denver.

GM's usually allow someone else to pick their QB's & HC's

We supposed to believe this org is the Chicago Bears??

Wilde reached out to someone in the Packers org about the "TT drafted Love" thing, who was there during the interview with MLF.  Says that what MLF said about drafting Love was that it was like when TT drafted Rodgers, and the producers of the documentary spliced it in such a way as to make it seem like he said it was TT's idea to draft Love.

So, it's BS.  Which makes you wonder how much of the rest of the documentary is BS.

Hmm. Aaron Rodgers vindictive? Holds a grudge? Say it isn't so!

He apparently rattled on and on yesterday on MacaFee on the "V" word as well stating before anyone said anything about him, he needed to know your vax status. And if you were someone who's had them, your opinion means nothing.

Like, WTF happened to him. I get the Packers will rightfully hang #12 in the rafters one day. But you just get the vibe it's a day they are simply dreading.

I think CTE but im not a doctor and i dont play one on TV

He did give Wolf his opinion on Favre, and of course he drafted Rodgers.

2 out of 3.

Matt LaFleur today: "I don't remember saying that, but apparently I did. I don't know if they cut it up. I think what we were trying to do was draw parallels to Ted drafting Aaron and to Gutey drafting Jordan ... I don't know how it got edited or whatnot, but Ted Thompson had… https://t.co/55iUzpNyJV

I don't know why media/people think they have to make things more controversial than they already are. We're constantly fed these half-truths, lies by omission, and cut-ups like this one apparently was to keep us on the edge of our seats. It's tiring. I wouldn't blame a coach, players, actors, etc., if they just stopped feeding the beast.

I think it's just an unintentional editing gaffe. 99% of the viewers aren't going to care about who the GM is and Aaron Rodgers isn't sitting in on the edit.

They specifically made it sound like Gutey had nothing to do with drafting Love. He was GM at the time.

Godgers is a very smart guy. He knows exactly WTF he's doing and that "edit" was purposeful. Godgers would never allow that shit to be aired without his 100% approval.

Kudos to MLF for clearing it up. He could've  simply said "No Comment" but hopefully his explanation puts to bed more bullshit.

File this under…who cares

We have two A Rodgers threads going now???   Divorce him!!!

No....just wanted to keep this one about the NF special instead of littering bullshit in the Jets thread.

Take him off the banner!!

I lo this guy and couldn’t agree with him more.    I need the boosters listed like pro bowls next to the analysts name.  

Keith Oberman / 12 boosts.

Dude's still living in 2021 and doesn't realize the world has moved on and nobody cares anymore.

Further proof he's still living in 2021 is he still thinks he's relevant in the NFL.

AR is going to really struggle with not being the center of attention once he's done in the league. With his ridiculous opinions and takes that he can't let go of, I highly doubt any of the networks would even entertain the idea of having him call games or host in any way (even though AR also claims he's not interested in this). Can't see him coaching either. We've seen what a disaster it is when he's played GM.

Plenty of players speak about how hard it is once you leave the game and how empty it feels to no longer get the attention they once did. With AR, times that by about 1000.

He’s proven to have plenty of interests outside of football.  He will be just fine.  

Answer the question!

I’m just here to get up to speed on all things Aaron Rodgers.

Lo means laugh out, but you're not doing it very loud. Think chuckling at this guy and yet agrees with him.

He’s a nut job

Onward

I won't watch it. Here's the way I look at it. I watch the Packers to cheer them on every week to win a Superbowl. Whatever these guys do on their off time I could care less.  I really don't care. You have good guys like Bart Starr that was an excellent football player and a real good guy off the field. And you have guys like Cam Newton, Antonio Brown etc etc that are not role models. All I want is for Aaron Rodgers (When he was here) and the team to go out every week and do what they get paid for. So many of my Bears and Queen fan friends blabbing on about how weird Rodgers was/is never bothered me. Did the Packers kick your ass this week?...STFU then.

He does for sure.

His #1 interest is being adored. I'm sure he will find plenty of people to adore him once he's done playing. He's got plenty of $$$ for that.

I haven't seen episode 3 yet. But 1 and 2 confirmed a lot of things we already knew/thought about him but some new things pop up here and there.

I'm hoping you'll tell us more so I don't have to watch it 😆

I will not watch it under any circumstances.
