I'm more inclined to believe the fan of a team that won only three games last season understands their team needs those 1st and 2nd round picks to build a core rather than adding an elite quarterback who is in his 30's. That's just basic common sense to me.
I'm ashamed that Packers fans, regardless of it being one or a handful, are wanting to shove off Aaron Charles Rodgers. Even more so that some are using PackersHome to dispense such atrocious garbage.
We were fortunate to have Brett Favre.
We are fortunate to have Aaron Rodgers.
Goodness we are beyond words fortunate to have had them back-to-back.
If you can't appreciate what Aaron Rodgers brings to the Packers. Please, go root for any number of about two dozen teams for a season and maybe we'll let you back in after you realize how ungrateful and unappreciative you are of the great fortunate the Packers have had at quarterback over the last two plus decades.

I appreciate Bart Starr; but I'm glad he did not QB us last year because I dont think he'd be very good.
I appreciated Tramon to no end; but felt 21M over 3 w/ 10M G was beyond his worth.
Casey Hayward was fantastic over the last 2 games; I appreciate him; he's gonna get paid and I dont think GB should pay the 7-10M per he's going to get and take the 3-4th round comp pick; especially given how the 3 rooks and Goodson ascended. If Shields retires tomorrow; then I say sign him for 7-8 if you can.
Barclay got a fair contract based on his performance over the years and projected ascension. But he failed miserably to live up to his contract, he is not worth the 1.5M he got.
So we can discuss, Barclay, Tramon and Hayward, and being to root for someone else; why cant similar discussions take place over Rodgers? Really?
All we have is scholarless "you must be insane' type comments or crazy theories like Mike McCarthy lost his ability to set up an offense. That's okay it's America.
No one is addressing the plethora of facts with a rational and cogent response and that's okay. Its what people do when they know they're wrong or have an opinion that they no is unsupportable.
Again what Brady did in 2012 to 2013, PROVES, our offense should not have turned to crap and Brady is only making 15M per.
Z2C, you, for example, opined in another thread that Cobb and Adams' injuries hurt the offense; but when it was pointed out as they got healthier the offense got worse, you fail to respond.
We have the strongest roster in the league as evidence by our QB playing the game with a 58.6 passer rating [when he was passing without praying to Mary] and still playing AZ to a standstill in AZ. And we were one Shields INT or lucky deflection away from winning the game. We would have won with McCown playing with a pedestrian 85 passer rating.
If we start like normal and if Rodgers doesn't ascend/rebound from this year; we will miss the playoffs next year and waste another year of having what I expect to be the strongest roster in the NFC.
Now if you cant appreciate American principles like freedom of thought and the scholarly exchange of ideas; perhaps you can root for more than 2 dozen countries that suppress such ideas. đ
Oh an just so you all know, the reason Janis didn't see the field was not McCarthy's; it was Rodgers' attitude toward him.
We will be a better team in 2016 w/ McCown at QB, who will be 100% dedicated to winning and playing w/in the system and resigning Raji, Perry, Neal and Hayward and Starks with the money we save. Janis will be better too w/ McCown throwing to him.
