Get over it. Rodgers has the highest QB rating of all time. I think he has earned the right to throw the ball to whom ever he damn well feels like throwing to. I know that depresses you nerd. I can't believe Aaron doesn't consult with you. Can you imagine how much better he would be if he did? It truly boggles the mind.

Brady throws to the open guy, also has more SB rings.

Rodger's reply was " since I am only getting 20% of the cap how about I throw to the open guy just 20% of the time"

The sticking point is that The Packers countered with 50% of the time but Rodgers is refusing to budge off the 20%.

The significant progress they are talking about is that Aaron has convinced Danica to dress up in a Packers Cheerleader uniform and serve drinks in Gute's luxury box. Gute almost gave him 25% of the cap when he heard that but cooler heads prevailed.

I've grown very tired hearing about money when it comes to NFL, Sports and athletes. I kinda wish the financial stuff was never made public.

Here’s an idea!

Let’s take how long it takes Aaron to get the ball out, average that time across all passing plays for the entire year. If he can get it out on average in 2.6 seconds, PAY THE MAN!

Maybe take the average number of seconds it takes to get the ball out and subtract it from 10. How ever many that is, THAT’s how many more MILLIONS per year he gets. Add in incentives for HFA, each playoff win, and SB.

So nerdmann, who hates Rodgers holding the ball for any reason whatsoever, will complain if no one is open after 2.5 seconds. Feeling the pressure Aaron rolls to his right and at an incredibly long time of 5 seconds after the ball is snapped hits Adams in stride after he works free of the defender and then proceeds to run in for the game winning td against the patsies.
smh

Give something, to get something.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
