[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 907267, member: 11933"] I can understand those that are unhappy with Rodgers and I can understand the philosophy of being pro-team regardless of how everything got to this point, but some of the conversation in this thread is so anti-reality. You can say all day long that no person is bigger than the team, and that Rodgers isn't being a good soldier, and anything else you care to throw out there, but the only reason you don't see situations like this develop more often with more quarterbacks is because almost no player in the NFL has leverage against their team. Not even a lot of star quarterbacks. Tom Brady though had so much leverage with Robert Kraft that he actually went over Belichick's head to the point that Kraft vetoed Belichick for the only time in their professional relationship and told him that you [U]will[/U] trade Jimmy G. That was all due to Brady orchestrating the situation. So this isn't something that is unique to Rodgers, yet he'll be vilified by some regardless. The Packers created this situation by drafting Jordan Love. In doing so, you put Rodgers on the clock. And at the end of the day, the only reason you drafted his replacement is because you felt that Rodgers was declining and that his best days were long gone. But Rodgers proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he most certainly has plenty left in the tank. So Rodgers is essentially saying re-commit to me, or trade me. Even by Gutekunst's admission, the communication on the Love pick could have been handled much better than what it was, as it relates to including Rodgers or at the very least giving him a heads up. Again...GUTE said this. But as is the case with a lot of things, he didn't offer this admission until he got presented with the reality that Rodgers is likely done with the organization. Rodgers has a lot of pride and a lot of ego. But so do the Packers. That acted quite boldly in drafting Love. But Rodgers sent your plan into a tailspin by being the best player in the NFL this year. Again, not saying you can't be anti-Rodgers, because I get it. But the Packers have plenty of culpability in all of this and they should be held accountable for their part in letting this situation get to where it is. [/QUOTE]
