He suffered through the disastrous Favre divorce. Murphy had no stomach to go through that again with Rodgers. So, he's hoping Rodgers retires a Packer in 2-3 years.2 - Meanwhile, Murphy has decided to let his new GM manage and let his new coach run it how he sees fit. So, Gute & LaFleur are doing what they want, Murphy is keeping hands off.3 - Because of the Rodgers extension, Gute & Lafleur are not under the usual win now at all costs or get fired in two years. They will win enough games to feel secure (especially after 2019's 14-4 season). So, they are rebuilding the team into what LaFleur wants. As such, the Packers are not catering to Rodgers' last couple of seasons in a win at all costs mode like most of us expected.My opinion is this: They should NOT have resigned Rodgers if my speculations above are correct. It seems foolish to resign Rodgers to that blockbuster deal and then allow a new GM & HC to build a running team.Murphy allowed Thompson to keep his job way past the expiration date. Now this. Murphy is a putz.</blockquote>
