Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre began musing vaguely about retirement at age 32. Now 31, current Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn't thinking about walking awash in the short term. "Eight,' Rodgers told Peter King of TheMMQB.com regarding the intended remaining duration of his career. Things of this nature are never binding, and the numbers tend...

btw, Aaron didn't even say he wanted to play eight more years. Aaron was correcting Peter King when he said "eight". Why people don't actually read the source instead of just jump at headlines is baffling.

The article Mike Florio referenced was Peter King talking about the combined years of the Packers having Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers as starting QB's being 30 seasons if Aaron plays four or five more. That's when Aaron said "eight", meaning the three seasons he was on the bench do not count. Currently the combined starting seasons between them is 16 + 7 = 23 so actually Aaron needs seven more seasons for the Packers to reach 30 seasons between the two.

Even if he had meant "I want to play for eight more years", it would mean nothing to me. That's a looonnnggg time, opinions and goals change.

He can say, 8, 10, or

more years I don't care.

Of the many complaints I have against Burt, one of the biggest was his annual "I want people to prove how much they love me, so I'll threaten my retirement every offseason to get ESPN to drool over me" shtick. 🇦🇷 isn't doing that, thank goodness!

I'm extremely disappointed in you, Z2C. For all your hullabalo about formatting quotes from articles, and where you have practice squad rules and regs stashed on this website, you have absolutely no icon/shortcut for 3.14159265359. What kind of bush-league show are you running here?
