Rodgers 'trying to do too much,' McCarthy says· Page 2

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.

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.

Martha Careful (45m) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (2h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (2h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (2h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (2h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (2h) : Can't make him play.

Zero2Cool (4h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (4h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (4h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

dfosterf (14h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (17h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (17h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (19h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (20h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (20h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (22h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little
