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.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

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.
