1st of all, we had this headline 6 hours earlier than this was posted. The poster decided to make their own headline (no big deal at all) rather than use the less pointed headline (not surprised).

2nd of all, Mike Florio is an unapologetic Vikings fan. He takes shot at the Packers as frewias he can. Anyone who's read that side for more than a season picks up on that quickly. Mike Silver is also know for drsmstizing quotes. He's a good writer because of it.

3rd of all, I'm giving Aaron the benefit of doubt on this based on experience with listening to Aaron and knowing of the sources intent.

4th of all, if our Head Coach cannot defend his scheme, then do we really want that kind of a HC? If the HC truly believes in his scheme, he can get Aaron's buy-in just fine. I'd rather Aaron challenge the HC (and the HC also must challenge Aaron) than being a yes man.

I am just guessing here, but it seems to me, that with the amount of motion designed into the new systems, there would naturally be fewer audible options as the snap would be coordinated with the motion. This might prove to be more restrictive to Rodgers than in the past.

Additionally, some of the personnel and formations are so specific to certain play calls that it's tough, if not futile, to change on the fly.

"I think that has a lot to do with it," LaFleur said. "We move a lot more. There's a lot more motion. There are a lot more moving parts. And so if you just let the quarterback have that freedom to just get to whatever, I'm afraid it would slow our guys down. Now, he is a special talent and he's got an incredible mind, so as we move forward throughout this process he's getting more freedom. It's just, where is that happy medium?"

Silver is also Cal alumni and always been a Rodgers partisan.

As to the subject of the article, others pretty much covered it: MLF wants A, Rodgers wants B and eventually we'll get C. The fact that Rodgers came out in a national interview and said this makes me not worried at all. If I saw it being passed around as a rumor on twitter or something, I'd be a bit more worried.

Listen. Listen listen okay. The thing is. The thing with it is. Nerd had his story in his head before he read the article. Aaron is a problem. They gotta bring someone else in. They should trade him and start Kizer. Gotta see what the kid has. No way Rodgers will ever win another game. He'll probably murder a kitten on stage in the 3rd preseason game, and then we'll all look silly.

I wonder if I could write a Nerdman bot that just cycles through "shit the bed", "stat-whoring" and other catch phrases whenever Rodgers is mentioned.
