You've never liked the guy for reasons that are still unclear. Did he decline when you asked him to prom or something? And now with some bullshit about him being a cokehead and all this, for fucks sake man, really? I've (unfortunately) known cokeheads, if anything Aaron Rodgers smokes weed, have you ever listed to the guy talk?
Like it or not, Aaron Rodgers is a generational talent. A guy a team should consider bending the rules for, go out of their way to make sure is happy, etc. He's not perfect by any means and oh boy does that 1-4 NFCG record look bad. But he's one of the best QBs of all time, has won a superbowl, owns the all-time passer rating record by an absurd margin (though Mahomes should smash that if he can stay healthy/consistently perform at a high level), and has gotten the Packers to 5 NFCGs, which is more than can be said about the vast majority of QBs that have ever played the game.
If he gets his contract reworked, or has some say in trading for or bringing in a veteran in the twilight of his career... Honestly, who gives a shit? The guy has earned it. I don't even care if he makes demands to the front office and they oblige, stuff that ends up being kind of dumb like the Cobb thing very well could be if it happens. It's unlikely to make or break the season in any case.
Let's be honest for a moment here, the chances that GB's next QB will be even half as good as either Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre are next to zilch. Going further, the chance that they'll find a guy as good as either in next 20 or 30 years is pretty low. I liked and understood the Jordan Love pick when it happened, I hope he does well, and I will root for him, but oh man, striking gold on 3 straight franchise QBs is improbable. Is it too much to ask to savor what has been exceptional QB play for a solid 30 years? Do we really have to act so petty, spiteful, and entitled? Like if the Packer's don't win the Superbowl every year, every person in the organization is incompetent or on drugs?
