If Aaron Rodgers Returns to the Packers, He Has to Change His Ways· Page 4

Love didn't impress or dissapoint in his starts this season. If he does take over as the QB next year, I think it is important to give him a season to make mistakes. The team may potentially miss the playoffs in year 1 and that is ok. It doesnt mean the Pack are back to the 80s. We as fans are lucky to have watched Favre and Rodgers. If Love end up as the starter and fans support him, maybe he will follow a similar path (but with more playoff appearances and less losses).

A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. We had 9 consecutive weakest links in the playoffs. After all the big talk about "one last run."

Yeah, he has. That's why he was drafted high.

That might have made him look a bit better vs Chiefs.

I'm more interested in seeing how Love plays this upcoming preseason. Did he improve? Did accuracy improve? Did decision making improve? Did ball placement improve?

As for Aaron Rodgers needing to change his ways. I say trash on that. The man just one back-to-back MVP's and we're going to spout off that he needs to change his ways? The only thing I want Rodgers to change is simply taking what the defense gives you and living another set of downs. Other than that, rock on brotha man!

I thought the Patriots would select him, or some team would trade up from the second round into the bottom six picks to get him, which there were some rumors that the Colts were looking into that (which the rumors since appeared to be false). But a number of mocks had Love in the first round.

People who study the college game for a living, those people I will consider, but just "people", nah, no chance. Hell, I can search for college players and throw together projections. I'm people, I'm a no one in the college circuit.

Not all of the playoff losses were because of Rodgers.
To ignore that is having your "I hate Rodgers" glasses on
Remember the game where the Packers scored over 40 points, yet had to go into overtime? Then Rodgers gets pulled down by his FACEMASK, which the refs ignored? Causing the loss?
How does that go on Rodgers? Then the Montgomery screw up, bringing the ball out of the endzone when he was ordered not too? Or the onside kick screw up ?
That's just a few of the playoff losses.
So solective memory seems to be some people's biggest problem .
All of those playoff losses would have not even been allowed had we not had Rodgers getting us there in the first place.

If they can say "No one" without an issue, then why the hell can't I say "People" without an issue?

Mock drafts with Jordan Love and I only looked at 2 and found him in both. So he's lying, and you ignore it... but instead you call me out over semantics...

In my mind, that means the Packers, a professional organization that scouts college players professionally value him as top 30 prospect from the 2020 collegiate ranks.

Guys like Mel Kiper Jr and Todd McShay, I will put some stock into their projections, but sure as hell won't say a player is going to be a stud because of their analysis. if they were really good at their job, an NFL team would have signed them already, lol. Right? haha

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
