[QUOTE="scotty, post: 906939, member: 701"] All good points. Look, same with Gute & co., Rodgers doesn't come out of this smelling like a rose - I agree with anyone on that. As a little side note here, my take on Aaron Rodgers (without knowing him personally, of course) is ... He's very smart. He has a big ego. He holds grudges. He takes any slights, real or perceived, very personally. [B]He's not really unique in any of those respects.[/B] You see that in other sports stars who have been coddled to some degree, I mean their world really has been all about them since they started playing competitive sports (and those around them have fed that notion). And their extreme level of talent has cemented it. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan - really you see a lot of the same traits and behavior. We already know this and when you have a transcendent talent like Rodgers, you just know what makes them tick and you keep them happy. I don't think it should really be that hard for a GM or team ownership to take care of their star player. For all the traits above, Rodgers doesn't seem totally unreasonable or anything if you give him respect and show a commitment to him. I think it's too late for that now, at this point I think the damage is done. I think it would be better for both parties to make the split this season and for the Packers to get all they can in the exchange. What a shame. [B]I think there are a LOT of posters here who have no concept of the vast gulf in talent there is between the very few elite QBs in the league, and all the rest. [/B] Just ask the Chicago Bears, who haven't found a Rodgers or Favre in decades of trying. Look at teams that have depended on Andy Dalton, or gone all in on Cam Newton, or tried to figure out if Nick Foles is their answer. Teams that have gone with one QB, moved on to another, and then gone back to the previous mediocre one because they decide it's better than the other bad options. It's inevitable that we are going to have to be in that camp soon (now, maybe sooner than we think). But to be speeding that along with the league MVP still on our roster is insane. [/QUOTE]
