Will Aaron Rodgers finish his career in Green Bay

[azrsx05]

First, nobody is going to force Rodgers out. Second, nobody forced Favre to retire and then try to return after investing a whole offseason in Rodgers.

We don't know how those talks went. But it does seem Ted and Favre didn't get along. Ted could been pushing Favre to retire and causing him to really wonder if he should or not. Favre was probably asking for support and wasn't getting it.

I'm sure Rodgers will get just as tired of the same stuff and will probably ask for support. And if Ted wants to be cheap and stubborn. Rodgers could ask for a trade or not resign

Cheap huh? Because neither Favre or Rodgers were well paid here?

 

[PackAttack12]

We better hope so.

According to your page it's 50% guarantee. If he can be cut after the season with no penalty as you mentioned, then I stand corrected. I would have assumed the greatest QB in my lifetime would have had at least some guaranteed money his last 2 years. This would further enhance the case for trading him.

You misread the guarantee but the point remains that to earn any money from the GB Packers after this season, Aaron Rodgers has to be on the roster. He has nothing guaranteed now as he got it all earlier in the contract. signing bonus is prorated only so many years per CBA and this contract exceeded that length.

There is no evidence whatsoever that anyone was pushing Favre to retire. The actual evidence is 4 years of will he? won't he? drama every February. What you just posted is a common fantasy spewed forth without evidence by the TT hating crew.

And this statement is based on a false premise.

He's far more likely to go elsewhere if they ever got rid of MM. QBs and coaches have a special relationship and he and MM are sympatico. That is something that is built over the long haul, not in 1 or 2 years with Coach Flavor-of-the-Week.

Disagree. He's far more likely to go elsewhere if MM remains the coach. There have been multiple reports of Rodgers being unhappy with MM's coaching decisions over the past few years. Namely, the NFCCG against Seattle. I don't think Rodgers has any confidence in MM at all and I don't foresee them both being together past 2018 at the latest.

While there have been several incidents on the field with Rodgers being unhappy with McCarthy I don't remember him ever criticizing the head coach publicly but mentioning that it would be nice playing his entire career for a single HC.

In addition MM giving up play calling in 2015 resulted in the offense struggling with Rodgers starting early single game. That should work as a cautionary tale for advocating to replace MM.

Favre single handily kept us from another super bowl, he has nobody to blame but himself. I guess he could blame Ted for his draft and develop since he drafted and developed another HOF quarterback to take his place LOL

He did the same at Minnesota, too...

I'll take that bet. Loser has to replace his pic with a Bears logo for all of 2019. You in?
