Rodgers reportedly disgruntled, does not want to return to the Packers

[AmishMafia]

Why would the board consider removing Murphy or Gute for managing the team's finances/cap and properly doing their job?

Because it is more important that they keep our player heroes happy than to win football games.

That attachment needs to be sticky'd somewhere.


So you ask for a supporting statistic, and then when you get one, it doesn't matter.

GTFOH.

People like you are dug in and don't give a **** about anything that doesn't support your position.

Didn’t ask for made up statistics … asked for FACTS. Rodgers laid eggs the entire second half of the NFCCG…. We lost… Fact

 

[OldSchool101]

Don't think there's any doubt they could be closer, though.

I believe we could be very, very talented inside 2-3 years by signing ALL of our key FA’s, then add a veteran FA Defender and keep stacking Drafts together similar to the last couple.

I really don’t think we’d need a generational #1 Defense to win a Championship (86’ Chicago). We just need to be as good as our opponent or better. I’d like to at least see a top #8 scoring Defense that pulls a Tampa Bay and gets stingy in the playoffs. Both consecutive NFC games, we were the inferior Defense. We can’t always be the weaker D and expect to Win. Some of us understand (yourself included) that throwing an extra $20mil cap annually at the Defense and getting significantly better draft placement gives us a statistical edge at improving. That Cap firepower alone is essentially 1 Khalil Mack and we all know how him in the middle of our current scenario would change the entire dynamics of our D.

Lolol. Win football games with Jordan Love and MVS? Ok. This team getting run to the ground

Better chance of that than winning while paying a WR $28M per year. Lol

Came a lot closer than they will with these chumps and a horrible Defense.

You know this site is a majority of Packer fans, right? In 2019 the offense ranked 15th in points for, and the D was ranked 9th in points against. In 2020 the offense ranked #1 & the D was 13th. Without AR the entire offense are "chumps"? 9th & 13th qualify as "horrible"? Please go away and become a Buccaneers fan, there are still 3 seats left on their bandwagon.

Now talks with Adams are done. It's so obvious Gute and MM are the problem here. The board must immediately remove them both. If not the board must be dissolved.

With no meaningful contract talks in works, Packers' David Bakhtiari aims to make 2020 the ‘most memorable’ season he can

“Nothing meaningful has really been talked about,” David Bakhtiari said Thursday afternoon. “I’m just focused on, this is my last year of my contract. And my goal is to make

Here's just one example of contract negations stalling. This is generally how things go.

Isn't the point that, if they have these chumps, they can afford a D?

What chumps? What horrible D? Nobody has a clue what our roster will look like or how it will do.

Obvious to the anti Gute and Anti Murphy people anyway. Show me where it says the talks were broken off because of anything other than money. Show me anything that says Adams is disgruntled with the organization and doesn't want to play here anymore. Adams wants around 28 million per year and the Packers haven't offered that much. Its a money thing not a personality clash like the Rodgers situation. My guess is the Packers are waiting to see what happens with Rodgers to see how they can afford Adams. I'd also guess that if they don't reach a deal you will see a franchise tag next season on Adams.

and a QB 45 which they were apparently willing to do.

 

[Raptorman]

How many NBA Championship rings does McMahon have? Huh? What do you have to say to that?!?

Bud Grant has one.

 

[Mondio]

I always liked Bud, still do

 

[Ceodore]

Frankly I don't know why you'd give any player a 28m contract without knowing the AR situation first. Unless you think JL is superbowl ready already, no way I'm on board paying a receiver that much.

 

[Pkrjones]

Apparently Vegas sports books have removed all lines on over/under on Packers as well as Nfc North odds. Current rumors are that AR retires for '21, unretires to get traded in off-season before '22.

 

[gopkrs]

Bud Grant has one.

How did he get it? A second place one?

Nope. He was a Forward on the 1949-50 Minneapolis Lakers when they won the Championship. Remember they started in MN and moved to LA. Played for them the following year then went to the Eagles for a year as a DE and lead the team in Sacks. The following year he switched to WR and lead the team with 56 receptions, 997 yards, and 7 TDs. After that, he went to the CFL, Set records for Receiving and one for Interceptions during a playoff game. (5)

There's no excuse for Rodgers not being able to cash in. Not going to make any excuses. However, it would be refreshing if maybe, just maybe, every once in a while the defense didn't get pantsed in big games.

Dropping 26 on that defense isn't anything to sneeze at, especially given what they did to Mahomes 2 weeks later. Again, not an excuse, but for once I'd love to have the defense bail Rodgers out instead of the other way around.

They did once and the Packers won a SB

 

[OldSchool101]

It’s actually a reasonable point, but that’s too much common sense for many in here.

My contention is that we’ve got Rodgers playing at MVP level (48TD’s) and we still can’t make a SuperBowl? I say this sarcastically, but am I the only one who has sees that?? (Selah)

Well then… let’s pay him more $$ and lock him down (lock us down) until he’s 43 years old!
That ought to finally fix this team! Brilliant Dr Watson!
Sometimes I read various posts and I swear I see visions of the Pink Panther walking through this forum, music n all (he’s often carrying a briefcase of $$)

Very interesting... I had no idea he did any of this. He always seemed so small. I would have never imagine him in the NBA or as a DE. Kinda got a new respect for him now. All I really ever knew about him before was that he was the coach of the first team I ever hated.

He's 6'3". Well, he was. Now that he is 94, he is probably a little shorter.

That may happen.
But keep in mind, if he takes that path he’s out roughly $40mil for the 2021 season if he does that (he also pays back his Roster bonus and anything he’s collected thus far) If he does that? He’d make me feel like I’m much more intelligent than I actually am!

PS. It’s not out of the realm of possibilities. We all know he’s just strange enough to do it. We know he just turned down what is likely over $100mil+ in guaranteed (my guess). Nothing would shock me with Rodgers.

IF Rodgers pulled a Cat Stephens and went abroad and became a Monk and changed his name to a Muslim derivative it would totally fit his personality.

He did visit the dali lama (spelling?)
