[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 910835, member: 4199"] I am merely poking fun at people who are convinced that Rodgers is a diva and trade him yesterday AND those who would blindly defend Rodgers. This blew up because a few people at ESPN floated some conjecture on draft day. (Adam Schefter is, imho, a liar and will always be considered as such. I shall click on none of his links ever again. Do not reward this behavior.) That seems to be the big story. Is it possible, perhaps likely, that there is contention between Rodgers and the FO? Plenty of evidence to support that. Is it money? Maybe, but neither side has said so. It is the draft of Love? Perhaps, but Rodgers has at least said he doesn't have an issue with him. Is it a, for lack of a better term, normal, legitimate workplace friction between Rodgers and/or Gute/Murphy? Maybe. What's the old story, "People don't quit jobs, but they do quit bosses." And yet we have those falling over themselves calling for his head. Why? We [B]know[/B] almost nothing. Everything else is conjecture. Who the bad guy is in this story, is conjecture. If there even IS a bad guy, for that matter. And unfortunately, we'll likely never know. If he's traded, it could be because Gute/Murphy screwed something up and they caused the rift. If he gets an extension or some other kind of rework, maybe the FO plastered over rift with enough green and Rodgers will tolerate it. Maybe he's after more money and being a jerk about it, but get an extension anyway because the FO is worried about the alternatives. About the only definitive outcome is (imho) the least-likely. If Gute and/or Murphy lose their jobs or are otherwise demoted and Rodgers stays, that strongly suggests that something is indeed rotten at the top and the board had to step in. [/QUOTE]
