YES YES YES. I will tell you why i can't stand Rodgers for it is known i can't stand him. Where to start other then he is an I player not a team player.
Look at the draft, he sat there and had 23 other teams pass on him so he pouted. He even said in the preseason he was upset that the 49ers didn't draft him. During this off season he kept saying this is my team and if Brett came back he would have to beat him out because this was his team. Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy made him the chosen one and he hasn't kept this team on the high level of the NFL.
Another point he gets a contract extension becuase they afraid he might leave to another team, that is proof in the pudding did you hear ole #4 ever say if he would goto another team if he didn't get a contract extension? I remember #4 redoing his contract to help sign players the team needs like when he said he would take a pay cut to sign Moss, will you ever hear that come from Rodgers i really doubt that after all Jennings said he wouldn't discuss his contract till after the season and then what a day or two later Rodgers says gimmie that money.
Since the contract extension he has sucked in 3 of the 4 games he didn't deserve shit. He needs to let actions on the field do his talking and he hasn't proven he can do that. I recall atleast 4 games when we had chances to win and he couldn't do it.
The last reason i can't stand him is all the praise he gets and people saying he is a top 10 qb by looking at stats. So by doing that you say he is better then Big Ben, Peyton Manning. Get real people But then again i know another qb is going to get a huge contract and thats matt cassell because he is doing great, are you telling me he is one of the top 10 qbs in the league.
Those are the reasons i can't stand Rodgers and thats the truth.
As far as the original post you also can't do that because did the big boss tell the retired manager he couldn't go work for Wal-mart? You forget Ted Thompson wanted to send Brett to a losing team that he wouldn't have to face or did you forget that MInn and Chicago were both willing to give a #1 pick but Ted Thompson didn't want him in the division? To back that look at the trade to the jets if the Jets trade brett to the vikings they will lose their next 3 years #1 picks.

Ill say this, I respect your answer because you actually gave me reasons why, weather or not I agree or not or weather their true or not as many people are claiming i can see a line of thought, where as some other people all i get is "Favre!!!! why did you leave us!..... I hate you new kid".
Your point about the draft:
Last year after the playoff lost, i think there were a few packers dissapointed and Favre may have been one of them. My point, things dont always go your way, even in football and just because he's in the NFL he gets frusterated when things dont go the way you planned it. Im sure almost everyone would have been yelling at him "whoa WHOA! dont say that on nation TV.... big uh oh if you say, aww come on, you had to that wasnt smart Rodgers!" ...... or something like that.
Your point on Favre vs Rodgers:
obviously he knew he wouldnt win trying to beat out favre for that job. As a competitor if your boss says your the starter thats what you go with, and you have to be confident other wise there would be more people who didnt like rodgers. I want my QB to be fully confident in himself, if he is too confident thats better to me then doubting himself. That is an issue of opinion and there is nothing wrong with your opinion, i just do not agree with it.
Your points on the stats.
Stats are a hard game to play at. I want wins more than better stats so too a point i agree with you on this but not by much. and the main reason is you dont get that good of stats on accident or not by working hard. Ill put it this way (I hate the Titans, i live in TN) The Titans were 10-0 and as much as i hate them and i think they are over rated you dont get to 10-0 on accident. I dont see how Rodgers can statistically in the top 10 without knowing what he is doing and putting a lot of work into it. Disclaimer: Good stats does NOT excuse 6 losses. I judge Rodgers play by what he is a first year starter, not a 17 year starter, he will make mistakes and when he does, Im watching to see if he makes those same mistakes again or if he learns from them.
Your last point on store/tt/mm
This is exactly what im talking about, It makes sense to me that you would be mad at TT/MM rather than Rodgers.(which im sure you are) Thats why this whole thread is about "Why we hate Rodgers" and not why we hate TT. cause i can see a reason out there to dislike TT.
Like i said before i give you props for having reasons to disliking Rodgers and stating them. I know you are not someone who just thinks Rodgers is a doo doo head just for the heck of it. Thank you
