Message: <blockquote data-quote="speakhands" data-source="post: 906794" data-attributes="member: 9759">What exactly is comparable to the Favre situation? Favre had abused the organization and fans for years, despite it catering to him constantly to the point of exempting him from nearly all offseason drills and pausing football operations based on his retirement decisions. When they drafted Aaron Rodgers, Favre was not performing at a top ten level and Rodgers serendipitously fell to them. And the situation still didn't come to a head until Favre himself retired and let the team organize around Rodgers for an entire offseason. I really have no idea how you could think Rodgers asking out is in any way as bad as Favre's constant abuse of his position. I can't speak to the origins of the leak or what that implies. Obviously, I am not happy that he wants out. But I don't think his discontent is out of line. The Gutekunst administration has been conspicuously disrespectful to its company-man-type players IMO, from offering Jordy Nelson a near-vet minimum deal after cutting him, to not offering contracts at all to Julius Peppers and Lane Taylor, to, obviously, trading up to make the Love pick when the team was in clear title contention and the fan base's deafening demands were for the front office to capitalize on Rodgers' title window.</blockquote>
