Uh oh... another Favre styled scenario on tap for the organization? Oh, you think we control his rights. Yes. However, he can make it very very uncomfortable for us. I hope he demands we blow it up, privately, if he's going to stay. I think it's time for something like that. This time it won't be about retirement, it'll be about organizational ineptness. 12 has taken some subtle shots at management over the years as he's tried remaining a touch classy.
I hope he rejects an extension if this regime is offering it.
Oh, sure...we can play tag with him. He can also decide to play like Aaron from 2015 and have all that bad body language. Could be headed for a major shockwave throughout our org. Curious if Cowherd's thought catches on? It likely won't here with our media as it is among the softest and most sycophantic I've ever seen but, perhaps, nationally, the voices will get louder and louder until a crescendo leading to...CHANGE!
It still floors me to hear those talk about how long it will take if we blow things up to get back. We could have an easy next year turnaround. The Saints turned their D around in one offseason. They got Lattimore...we got Kevin King. Yikes. Things change quickly in the NFL...just look at us. Once talked about as favorites in the NFC and entire NFL, and now we're a joke, an afterthought so much so that my posting on being flexed out of SNF showed itself on NFL.com. Rosenthal said NFL might want to get rid of us at Pittsburgh for a much better game. We have fallen...far.
Without Rodgers we see how bad things really are. Even with him, you see how much he's had to cover up for. Isn't it time for a regime that won't leave him having to cover up for as much as this one has left? Do you see it now? All those years of making the playoffs could've been so much more than that had we had better underpinning his greatness. Aaron overcame the weaknesses...sadly, the org should be using the rest of the roster to amplify Aaron not drag him down so he can only get us to the playoffs.
See it? See what we've been doing all these years saddling 12 with a burden so big that championships are almost impossible. Yet, he's so great he's been able to carry this crap show forward into the playoffs year after year while few ever noticed that it could be and should be so much better.
Change! It is the ONLY way.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because theyâve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
