2021 NFL Season Thread

Or did they offer to do that and he refused.....I've heard that too. Rodgers is not blameless in this situation.

[F30lolz]

Jake Gyllenhaal to star as Aaron Rodgers in ‘How To Lose The Big Cheese During The 2020 NFL Draft’ with Jordan Love as the co-star.

Heard that Rodgers wants GM Gutekunst fired or he won’t return. Didn’t McCarthy get ousted because Rodgers wanted him gone as well? Packer fans, keep the GM or league MVP?

[lakefront]

I'm sure Rodgers had "input" in getting McCarthy fired, but he got himself canned by not adapting his offense year after year. Probably was overdue to be replaced by 2 years or better. If it comes down to the GM or ANY player, get rid of the player. Can't have these guys running the teams like is happening in the NBA.

I don’t think it’s that simple, sure give your players input, but it doesn’t mean you actually have to take it or act on it. I mean I take input from my team at the office all the time, doesn’t mean I always use their feedback in my decisions - however it does make them feel like they have input and are always being heard.

Rodgers is a generational QB, he has skills that only a couple other QBs in the league have and/or have had for those that have retired. I would argue one of the most talented to ever play the position. One of the most accomplished? No that’s clearly Brady, but even Brady has admitted Rodgers has more talent than he does. QBs like this do not come along every year in the draft.

When you have a payer like that vs. a GM that you could easily replace today and get the same level of output...I would choose the player every time.

I have one spot in my fantasy football league if anyone is interested. Very good comp and been together for 15+ years. $30 buy in. PM me if interested.

So all this talk of Rodgers wanting to leave and he’ll now end up staying.

Drama.

[lakefront]

He will be gone after this year. There really was nothing else that could have happened this year if he was gonna play at all. Packers aren't gonna give him away for nothing.

Exactly. Rodgers wasnt going to pass up playing this year, and Green Bay, if they traded him, was going to get a combo of current and future draft picks. Those draft picks help them absolutely 0 this year, and wouldnt be nearly as good since the team they sent him to would instantly be a good playoff team. By waiting it out this season, they can now go after top picks in the draft. The QB needy teams will still be QB needy in April.

I still think it’s funny that these reporters get away with “sources” to make for clicks - Rodgers never said anything through the whole saga. The media just keeps trying to make for something that may or may not actually be there.

His close friends all along said he would be there.

I get what he said in his first interview - as a long time Packers fan I’ve been frustrated over the years when they let players go and live (and die) by their draft and develop strategy. It’s interesting to hear how players feel they get disrespected by the organization - I get it it’s a business, but some of the other top organizations have treated their star players better IMO.

As for the rest of the NFC North - Daddy’s home

I'm starting to worry about the Seahawks. They are absolutely sucking big time so far in the preseason. Of course RW and most of the starters haven't played yet, but still. Not looking good.

Altering the words from AI:

Not a game, not a game, not a game. We’re talkin’ bout Pre-season.

[TiMSport]

Yeah I try to tell myself that. The 3rd and final preseason game will see most of the starters play for at least a few possessions. I hope I like what I see.

Worry about Russ setting the right temperature on the stove.

Yeah for real. I'm nervous having not seen a single snap with Russ and his starters under the new OC. They certainly can't be worse than the shit show in the preseason with their backups.

If Danny Dimes stumbles this season I’ll gladly trade you our two first rounders in the 2022 Draft plus Saquon for RW.

Deal?

Yep, I understand that and nope, no thank you. As of right now their QB backups all absolutely suck. No way I'd get rid of RW.

You would be drafting a top QB in the draft. However, on 2nd thought, I wouldn’t want Russ in NY. He would fold like a lawn chair on Brighton Beach!

LOL. Hell no, he'd do fine. You know where he has had some of his best games? MetLife stadium.

Don’t let that distract you from the fact that Russel Westbrook suffered the worst home loss of his career to none other than Colt McCoy @ Lumen Field.
