[QUOTE="speakhands, post: 907599, member: 9759"] Let me first start by saying that I do not think there are necessarily any truly right or wrong answers. No one here, or most anywhere, has enough knowledge of the goings on of the franchise to really draw firm conclusions. I am personally off put by Rodgers' conduct. But, as a proud union man, I also do not approve of how the organization's management has conducted itself toward its employees and the culture of impunity in the front office. And I don't think management should have full reign to do whatever it wants and have employees stay silent. There would seem to be four major players here: (1) Aaron Rodgers, (2) Brian Gutekunst, (3) Matt LaFleur, and (4) Mark Murphy. It's hard to know how much personnel power LaFleur wields, but he is probably the only guy here who [I]might[/I] be completely blameless. And he's obviously done a stellar job (although I personally disagree with him firing Pettine after the team had its best defensive year in a decade, but different topic). My personal opinion that the most blameworthy persons in this whole mess continues to be [B]Mark Murphy[/B]. This is the guy who let the team stagnate for years under McCarthy where it was clear that, at minimum, the offense was broken and, more likely, the culture of the team had grown rotten. Murphy failed to intervene at any point in this degeneration. Despite a decade straight of first round defenders, the team failed to field a single top 10 defense from 2011-2018, and yet Dom Capers was kept around the whole stretch. This reputation for complacency-bordering-on-laziness would lead to the present situation: where he permitted a supremely arrogant and insulting move by his General Manager and then failed to plan for [I]the best situation[/I], where their top 5 quarterback returns to league-best status and demands the full-throated long-term commitment that he would get from almost any other team in the league. Basically: I think Gute's draft move was arrogant. I also think his treatment of past players have been pretty ****** at times. And I think Rodgers' conduct this offseason has been petulant and disgraceful. [B]But it's Gute's prerogative to be arrogant within his own best judgment. And it's Aaron's prerogative to be a demanding diva. It's Murphy's prerogative to handle the big picture and see this ******* train wreck coming before people are running around on fire.
