Packers want more leaders after locker room 'wasn't the best' last season

Maybe convincing Julius Peppers to re-sign with us instead of wanting a swan song with the Panthers?

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers' broken collarbone exposed so many shortcomings -- and became a catalyst for myriad organizational changes -- that it's easy to forget another place where things went awry: the locker room.

The Green Bay Packers lost more than just their two-time NFL MVP quarterback.

They lost their leader -- the player everyone in the football-shaped changing room at Lambeau Field looks to for guidance, support, approval and even inspirational messages (see R-E-L-A-X and "run the table").

"They did a good job to stick together, [but] we're a little bit spoiled," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said recently. "We have high expectations of our locker room, it's been so strong for so many years. In comparison to the other 11 years [of McCarthy's tenure], it wasn't the best, clearly.

Locker room is going to be even worse after BG made it public they weren't planning on asking Rodgers to be team friendly with his contract. You can't expect everyone in house to take less for the right to play with Rodgers and be a contender every year then tell them you won't ask Rodgers to do the same. Idiotic

Winning takes care of all that.
Just as losing destroys a locker room.

You don’t see many happy faces in Cleveland, do you???

I found this link below, but I didn't see anything to get upset about. Other than the annoying assclown request "close your ad blocker" garbage.

EDIT: Okay, I misread what you said. I thought you said Brian G ASKED Rodgers to take a team friendly deal, or would ask. Geez, it's in black and white and still I get confused.

Did losing Aaron expose a leadership problem or the fact that when a team knew the season was done and were just going through the motions trying not to get hurt? It appeared that at least one "star" player gave up to me (HHCD).

I love Daniels. I am surprised he does not have the ability to rally the guys. He seems like the perfect player to put a stop to any BS in the lockeroom. Same with Bahk for the O.

Last season was lost when AR got hurt.
The team saw it had no QB in Hundley.
That MAY have caused the team to “give up”. As professionals that are getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to play a game, that should NEVER happen, but it does.
Some players I believe did not quit, but if even s small portion of players do quit, you won’t win much.

dfosterf (13h) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (13h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (16h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (16h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (16h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (17h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (18h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (19h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (21h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (21h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (21h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (22h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (22h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (22h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (22h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (23h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks
