Like I said, it’s the GMs job to do what he feels is best fit the team. That’s what he’s paid to do. That’s his JOB.
Rodgers job is to lead the teams offense on the field. He’s not the GM, or the head coach.
If he does play this season for the Packers, they are going to have to special order a size XXXXL helmet for him.
And a dump truck to carry his ego in.

Raise your hand if you like your boss.

Rodgers is NOT the boss.
So he should just worry about his own responsibilities.
Does he think if he goes somewhere else they will just let him run the whole show?
If a team does that, they are idiots. And most likely will fail.

Frankly, I think these reports are total bullshit. Remember he was minutes away from being traded to Denver… Right?
The guy is working out with his teammates (note the virtual reality thing with he and Bakhtiari) and is attending the Kentucky Derby with teammates.
Now, having said that, if they could make a Herschel Walker type deal and fleece somebody with a bunch of good players and draft choices, that would be fine with me.
The reason it would be fine with me it’s not that I don’t think Rodgers is fantastic, but I think this team needs quite a bit to reach the Super Bowl.
Brady went to a team loaded with talent...so much so that he could throw three interceptions in a NFC championship game and still come out a winner.
12 doesn’t have that luxury. He needs to play near perfect or we lose.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst on Yahoo report that Aaron Rodgers wants him fired: “Aaron hasn’t said anything like that to me ... I think that’s a little unfair to put that on him ... Nothing’s been communicated directly to me.”

The report I believe the most one the one that was claimed to be from someone Rodgers camp, that Rodgers wanted to lock up his contract and secure that he's with the Packers for either it was two years or the remaining of his current contract and the Packers declined that and that's why he's upset.

I believe that because to me, that means he's probably asking for a no-trade clause to be placed into his contract so he can refuse any trade. Which makes perfect sense that he'd WANT that. And he might also want a no franchise tag as well and then either agree to any trade or he decides where he plays.

I think Rodgers is just frustrated/pissed-off that he doesn't have any control of the "beautiful mystery" of where he's going... and that "beautiful mystery" is actually his freaking worst nightmare because it's eating up on the inside.... because he wants control .......... and maybe to a certain degree he's a control freak... he wouldn't be the first three time MVP QB that was (*looking at Peyton*)

Reading that quote from Gutekunst, doesn't that come off like if Aaron wants me gone, he should man up and tell me to my face, tell me directly and not be a little coward!!

I am willing to wager (1) zero 2 cool Chinese connection acquired number 10 gbp jersey that whoever Rodgers plays for this year will be looking at a contract that pays him a Mahomes like figure (plus about 1 dollar or so) going into this season. There will be no talk of Gute firing during the announcement.

If it’s about the money..,,.if I was getting paid 30 million dollars a year and someone else was getting 35, I would be smiling all the way to the bank! I wouldn’t be whining about it.

How much money can you spend in a lifetime?
If it’s about SB rings, Rodgers would be an idiot to leave here. This team is his best shot.
He had his shot this past season, and blew it. Our D gave him the ball several times in the 4th quarter, and he didn’t get it done. That’s on his shoulders.
If you want to be paid and treated like the GOAT, then you better back it up on the field. And in the playoffs, when it really counts, he hasn’t got it done except in 2010.
JMO of course.

As someone who listens and reads everything Aaron Rodgers. I can confidently say -- this is not about money. If there are ten things this is about, money is 11, maybe 10.

I'm sure every employee of every company would like to control their bosses. I think Rodgers is too big for his britches. The Packers can't allow him or any other employee control what they do.
I wonder what his teammates think? If they see him getting his way, do you not think they will try the power play too?
Honestly, I wish this would just end either way.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : *without

Zero2Cool (20h) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (21h) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : WR Jayden Reed (calf) and G Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute) returned after sitting out Wednesday.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Packers are in pads and so is Jordan Love. Second straight day of practice for QB1.

bboystyle (18-Sep) : If Love comes back, we win in a blow out

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Jordan Love just spoke with reporters and said he’s giving himself the week but hopeful to play Sunday against the Titans.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : Or is that the Rusty Red Rifle because of his age?

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : The Red Rifle Returns!

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Panthers are benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and starting veteran Andy Dalton beginning this week.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : and none of the chats on my phone are showing up on the desktop chat

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Or so I thought I did. lol

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : I had Colts for few days to throw everyone off. At 11am or so, I changed it to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : You know if you didn't say anything you probably could have changed it and no one would have noticed ;)

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Vikings over the 49ers, Bucs over the Lions
