[QUOTE="texaspackerbacker, post: 495164, member: 25"] To a very limited extent, I agree with you - or at least understand the feeling. I don't get all gooey like some people when a player gets hurt - I figure they get HUGE money for taking those risks while playing a fun game, something I and most of us would do just about anything for. Yeah, I HATE to see Packers hurt, but it is for the harm it does to the won/loss column, no more. Somebody from a rival team breaks a knee, and I have been known to cheer. As for the topic at hand, however, the Rodgers contract, it's a relative thing. Maybe no player deserves that kind of money, but Rodgers deserves significantly more than anybody else - he's better than anybody else by a wide margin. And as tjv or somebody replied to you, it's a matter of the law of supply and demand - the free market - both how much the player's agent can squeeze the team for and how much the team can squeeze the fans and TV networks for. It's legendary how difficult it is/how long it takes to get Packer season tickets. That fact says the price could be extremely much higher than it is, based on market forces. [/QUOTE]
