Yes, that. Plenty of people believe it’s his fault. You know, he held them hostage. Hostage taking seems to be one of his specialties.
Oh I’m sure some will figure something out.
Or assuming that Rodgers was waiting all the way until free agency to make his decision when in reality the Packers and Jets are trying to negotiate compensation.
LOL....I would call that a strawman argument, at least until it actually happens.
Yes but we free up near $10m now
I would view that as a comment made by a very uninformed fan. Lazard is a free agent, he can sign with any team that he wants to. There are uninformed fans on both sides, so I don't get too excited by their comments.
That was my argument. If the negotiations take 30 days, it could’ve started near 30 days ago and he even waited substantial time to go in his retreat. He waited until the week of FA to make plans and put the Packers against the wall.
And just the opposite ones that only think he was the only reason why they were 13 n 3 few times
FWIW, I wasn’t calling you a Rodgers hater. Sorry if you took it that way. I was referring to people like the ignorant fan.
No worries....another poster has implied it several times.
It has been a long time since the Packers have been in this situation. Will they know what to do with money? Is LaFleur ready to take a few lumps for a few years? Have to admit that Mike Holmgren came here ready to do that without a lot on paper in 1992.
My bad, Correction $8.7million.
I was convinced he was vaccinated! If he lies once, Do you think it’s possible he might lie twice?
Pretty sure he never claimed to be vaccinated.My bad, Correction $8.7million.
Don’t worry. I’ll cut you a check back for the difference! I’m telling the truth. I’d be just inoculated to do it

Yeah right buddy.
Are you really serious?
Talk now is whether to have a rookie or a veteran back up to Love. Cost would be a factor. I can think of 2 QBs who played under Flynn but would not come cheap. That is Mariotta and Mattie Ice. But they would rather not sit.
No reason to spend money on a veteran QB, when you are in rebuild mode. If Love goes down, the Packers having a $6M/year guy won't matter. I hope they pull a Ron Wolf, draft a QB prospect that they like mid rounds and sign an UDFA QB. Develop them both and potentially have a long time #2 or a real good trade prospect. They did resign Danny Etling to a reserves/future contract in January, so he will be in the mix as well. Etling is a puzzle to me. Maybe just a practice arm. He has been in the NFL since 2018 when the Pats drafted him in the 7th. Hasn't played a down of real NFL Football and has bounced around 10 times (twice to the Seahawks and twice to the Packers), one of those times was the CFL and he didn't see playing time there either.
Maybe… and speaking as someone who has been critical of him (and yet still today believe that on the field he is still one of the best) I have no doubt that the aforementioned criticisms will happen.
Oh I totally agree, but like I said, it hasn't happened, just yet. Same could be said for all those critical of Rodgers, will he be deserved of some of those same criticisms as a Jet (if it happens)? I guess time will tell on both topics.
I think of when Brunell was on the bench and Hasselback. But I believe if Love suffered a season ender early or for say 8 weeks I think Gute would go after a veteran at that point just as a security blanket but not to win a SB. Losing is one thing but I cannot see Gute letting us get in a TJ Rubley or Scott Tolzien scenario. That is a TT thing. Fans have to believe you have some chance to win a football game.
