and show me where it says he wanted cobb or lazard or boyle or hackett? it's obvious sometimes man. you realize if we cut zach we lose 10 mil in cap sapce (which BTW we currently have 9 mil so can't even cut him. trading him doesn't change that figure by much either. then we have to sign a replacement. we are hand tied by the cap here since we are competing. if we were in rebuild mode then yeah cut him and move on and don't trade for a 39 year old QB. the issue is, as a GM you have to see all the angles. the whole field. you are looking at 1 tiny part as a fan but missing all the things that trickle down with it.
He wanted players he’s familiar with and a coach who runs his favorite offense? Yes, makes sense. He wanted a snot nose underachieving fanboy to stay here up his ass wasting his time asking questions for his tutelage? Yeah, I don’t buy that one bit. What’s most likely is JD decided that maybe being around Rodgers would help Zach develop. Rodgers probably wasn’t even asked or bothered to ask himself as to who would be his backup. Why the fuck would he care? You’re standing in a sea of people who see the obvious while stubbornly declaring you’re right instead. Ironically you remind me of Joe Douglas.
lol come on dude? "snot nosed underachieving fanboy" ? what are you 12? so what he's a bad QB. doesn't make him a piece of shit human. you sound like one though right now. it's been well documented that the 2 of them have been friends the past few years. you are also ignoring the salary cap issues. We were a favorite to win a SB this season (vegas had us at 6 favorite) every expert etc had us as a top 10 team to start the season. that doesn't happen with a bad GM who refuses to fix his mistakes. trading for rodgers was fixing his mistake.
sucker’s bet, obviously. The bookies are laughing now also I’m not sure I’ve heard a weaker argument for a front office than this. The results show last place BUT they were the 6th best betting favorites before the season, yikes
injuries happen dude. if mahomes or allen went down for the year you don't think their teams would be awful?
But Mahomes and Allen aren’t down for the year. They are in their prime. The GMs drafted them so they get credit and the benefit of the doubt for their decision making Rodgers is 40 years old, 40 year olds get hurt. The GM here overpaid for him in many ways. He overpaid because the QB he drafted was a major bust and he needed to do something It was bad decision after bad decision, Douglas is a bad GM. Who gives a flying fuck what the betting odds were. He should be judged by results
Yeah, Carr was the right move this offseason and we went for the shiny object/jingling keys Aaron Rodgers. Of course it blew up in our faces.
Rodgers said Hackett, Cobb, Boyle and Turner? New team to shove it up the Packers ass? No way unless Zach Wilson’s here man.
How old was Brady when he tore his acl? How old was bridgewater? How old was rg3? How old was wentz? it was a bad injury to rodgers that’s it. Nothing to do with age.
Friends for the past few years? You’re making shit up now. Zach is a fan, they had training camp last season together. Aaron thought he was a nice kid. End of story. They’re not hanging out, he’s not taking Zach on his darkness excursions. Rodgers could’ve given two shits if Zach stayed here. Zach is here because Douglas wouldn’t let go.
I too would like to see the evidence of Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson “being friends the last few years.”
Not sure. But we didn't do enough to protect Rodgers and the deal we struck severely limited our ability to protect him in the first place. Put the cart before the horse and we wonder why we can't move forward.
You well may have preached Carr... as was I... but alas... he wasn't coming here anyway. But what made you think I was referring to you?
not really - there were offers out there, but they didn't take even though jets offer was higher Orlando Brown Jr. rejected better offer from NY Jets to sign elsewhere (thejetpress.com)
