What is bothering me about Rodgers is that he seems to be irritated by the call after every single play. He makes faces, gestures, hands up, he is also unhappy about the use of timeouts. I'm perplexed MM is not making this stop, Rodgers can be the best player in the league but that doesn't mean he has the right to be a PITA to his coach.
In the middle of the game against the Lions there was a play he could have run for 15-20 yards and instead overthrew Adams, he went to the sidelines and started complaining. I would have benched him for a series at this point, just to send the right message to the team, everybody is accountable and if you are not happy about something you can discuss it in the team meetings and not in front of the cameras.

We need some discipline.

Perhaps he's simply pissed off at himself for not making the play? I think you're making a lot of assumptions here unless you know for sure what Rodgers is saying. Do you?

People slam the guy for not showing enough emotion and then slam him for showing some. We all want him to perfect, I get it, but the reality is that he isn't and he has his flaws just like you and me. I don't see why he has to act happy about his and others poor performances on camera. There's nothing wrong with being pissed off at that point. The cameras are on for the entire game. Are you suggesting he not discuss any important or heated aspects during the game and only in team meetings? That makes no sense.

I'm just a guy in front of the TV and I wanted to yell at him... imagine if you are the guy that responds for what is happening on the field and your most important player, your QB keeps throwing tantrums after every 3 and out....

You can discuss things without throwing tablets or making gestures to call timeouts, and worst is that Rodgers is doing that while playing really bad.

We need a shift of emotion, Rodgers needs to be cool, and MM needs to be fired up.

Lots of QBs can be a "PITA" to their coaches. But I guarantee Mike McCarthy wouldn't trade those minor pains for anything. McCarthy wouldn't even have this job anymore if not for Aaron Rodgers.

You call them "tantrums" and I say that's impossible to know without knowing what was said and the emotion on the field. I think it's funny how much Aaron's signs of frustration bother people. Of course Rodgers is frustrated both at his play AND the play of most of his teammates. The guy isn't used to losing, and I have no doubt it eats him up inside. But any opinion that can be formed without knowing what was actually said and the dynamics of the situation are pure conjecture. For all we know, Rodgers could often be cursing himself for screwing up.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
