Aaron Rodgers on Jordy Nelson's release: It's definitely a sad day· Page 2

That doesn't even sound remotely close to anything Aaron Rodgers would say. He's insanely passive aggressive with his snide comments. He would have said something more like "glad they talked to me first" or something on those lines. He wouldn't (in my opinion) outright call them bastards, it's just not how he's been the last 10 plus years.

There's a close connection between quarterback and quarterback coach, and that was an interesting decision." regarding Alex Van Pelt, which is complete bullshit. Alex CHOSE to not re-sign an extension the season prior BECAUSE Alex wanted opportunities to be an Offensive Coordinator. You're telling me Alex didn't tell Aaron this? You're telling me Aaron wasn't cognizant of this? No, he knew. This is a subtle "in the know" jab to someone (probably Mike McCarthy for refusing to let his staff interview for advancements while under contract). I don't think the comment was about not talking to Aaron. I think the comment was "Mike, if you weren't such a dick head about your staff interviewing while under contract, maybe my QB coach would still be here while he waited for a job advancement elsewhere".

I heard that Nelson was offered a pay cut, and turned it down
That was on the local sports radio show.
So if true, then you can’t blame the Packers for cutting him. And Rodgers can’t blame the Packers either.

That's not a serious offer for a potential starter... and if that is correct, then I still can blame the Packers for cutting him (especially if he plays well somewhere else)

It’s hard for me to even THINK that a two million dollar offer would be a scape goat offer.
Two million, at the end of your career, to PLAY A GAME.
He is NOT in his prime anymore. He has lost a step, and I doubt he would even be a starter here anymore.
He’s been here 10 years, already made more money then I could even DREAM of having, is set for life.
I love the guy and what he did here, but the Packers can no longer pay him top dollars if they don’t think it will pay off for the TEAM.

Releasing Jordy kind of reminds me of the old baseball axiom. It's better to trade a player a year early than a year too late. If Branch Rickey didn't said it he sure lived it. NFL doesn't trade all that often, they just release the players.

Donald Driver took less to stay a Packer. Then retired.
I guess it shows what your priorities are.
And 2 million vs. A POSSIBLE 5 million. If Jordy wants the money more then to play here anymore, he can choose that.
Just like the Packers can choose to say NO.
It’s a two way street.
Rodgers has shown he can get “chemistry” with more then one guy, and will find a way to do so without Nelson.

Driver took less AFTER he became the teams 5th leading receiver...

When Rodgers played, Nelson was among the Packers top 2 WRs...

So the scenario for the two is very different is completely different.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
