Yeah this reads worse than fan speculation.
First, this is about him being convinced (so yeah fan speculation)....
Second, he gives four reasons why he's convinced and first is instincts... and he had to said the writers old standby someone with firsthand knowledge of the organization, which sounds like it might mean something, but really could be his cousin or any writer friend, or any owner, and no real insight.
Then the big insight, of all this leadup... Rodgers is done as Starter in GB.... um, I think one of Rodgers own post season interviews basically said that... where it seemed like he thought his options were retire or trade.
Then the real bombshell... they're disgusted with him? He'd be Love's backup because Love has shown so much the last three years?
That is total and complete bullshit... he broke his fucking thumb on his throwing hand and couldn't throw a great pass, and they didn't even let a fully healthy Love get in the game at that time!
If Love was so much better, they absolutely would of put Love in over an injured Rodgers. And why didn't they? Because they were worried about Rodgers? Well if they were discussed with him, then they absolutely wouldn't of given a crap about Rodgers opinion.
And then stupidly calls Love the second coming and then mentions Favre... wouldn't that make Love the third?
This is just old man get off my lawn shit from McGinn. Worse than average fan stuff.
