A hearsay report from a Packer hater and muckraker quoting an unreliable source.

I think I will wait to just listen to the interview and get it straight from the horses mouth.

I assume Aaron will be low key and pretty uninformative which will spur all kinds of "why didn't he say this?" conspiracies and hand wringing.

I'm afraid that the conspiracy theories and hand wringing will be with us until well past Rodgers retirement.

To me, whatever he says ( or doesn’t say) won’t mean much.
If he says “the Packers picking a QB really ticks me off” the so called “reporters” will say “he’s going to demand to be traded!!!”
If he says “I’m not bothered by the Packers picking a QB”, then the reporters will say “he lied! He’s gonna tank the season so the Packers have to trade him!!!”

I doubt that we will hear Rodgers’ real feelings either way. So it really means nothing.

I had the opportunity to listen to the rebroadcast of the press conference and I thought his comments were perfectly fine. Of course he is going to say that he would’ve preferred to draft someone who could help the team more quickly.

He’s been very forthright and his desire to play and retire with the Packers and nothing he said precludes that. I think he will do an awesome job being a great role model and teacher to Love.

Let’s not forget, the advantage of drafting love in the first round means they get the option of an extra year contract wise, so if 12 played 4 more years and hung it up, that woks perfectly.

I think in the long run, he will want his legacy to be a lot better than Favre’s. That will involve his being a great mentor to Love, something #4 was not to him.
