Just a little bye-week fun..... <Bumped just for you know what and giggles>

So glad I never got swindled by fake news and social media regarding Rodgers.  Being one of the beautiful people on the right side of history sure feels good.

Well, Zach sucked and Rodgers seems less of a me guy. He had a bad season last year but mentally he had checked out and had a broken thumb. Should be better this year.

Hard pass on Rodgers for four basic reasons:

1) I personally have no interest in bringing in a QB who has openly talked about retirement. This is a young team that is establishing a winning culture from the ground up - I think bringing in a guy on the last leg of his career with legitimate questions about his commitment to the game going forward is a recipe for locker-room strife and eventual disaster. How does Mr. Rodgers handle SB expectations here and how does he handle the first two game losing streak, with one foot already out the door? How has he handled those things this year in GB? 

2) I'm also just not the biggest fan of the Jets star-chasing at QB. It basically never works out for the teams I root for and reminds me of the Favre move. 

3) If ZW did implode and we ended up bringing in a vet QB, I'd want someone considerably younger with more years to grow with our young core. And I'd also want to draft another QB prospect in the mid rounds. 

4) I'm not interested in trading multiple first round draft picks for a 38 year old QB who has talked about retirement and life after football. 

 

Also, this is not related to the discussion at hand, but I am completely focused on winning THIS year. It looks like our future is super bright and we should have a SB window open for the next several years, but you just never know. Nothing about next year is guaranteed. Right now, I'm focused on making a playoff run THIS YEAR and nothing else.

Hard pass on Aaron Rodgers under any circumstance. He is poison, what they are building here is more of a long term sustained success kind of thing. Sure you trade up if you an win a Super Bowl, but with a 14 TD \ 7 INT season underway, you have to wonder if age is creeping in.

I'd pretty much prefer anyone to Aaron Rodgers if we're playing this game.  He's not what this team needs as they're building the culture.  In the event that the Jets had to replace Zach, I'd go w/ Jimmy G. > Marcus Mariota > Ryan Tannehill > Jacoby Brissett > Teddy Bridgewater > Jameis Winston.  I'd monitor Geno and Daniel Jones, all before I make a call for that whack job diva and I'm sure have to pay some of that 80 mil guaranteed he's got coming to him.

I let fake news fool me.  I didn’t know we’d get this guy.  I suggested field of dreams to JD.  
 

Now let me go back to my depressing start to the Football season.

I was fooled, as well. 
 

I also thought Rodgers was a pipe dream. I’m pretty sure I said in another thread that he’d flat our never come here. Whoops. I deserve to be dunked on.

I can’t be the only one frantically scrolling page 1 hoping I didn’t offer my own hot take last fall.

Rodgers would destroy the AFCE with the weapons we have and make Josh Allen go home and cry to his mommy. The Packers sucked at getting him weapons and then traded away the one he had. WTF is wrong w/them?

Yeah, it was a good call there Barry.

This is the type of thread resurrection where you just scan the entire history to see if you said something completely idiotic. Looks like I took this one off

My son and I had the same discussion about 3 weeks ago.  At the time, I would have been all in on a move to acquire Rodgers.  But now, I am not so sure.  He looks bad.  Its not just his receivers.  He made some awful decisions last week against Detroit, has missed open receivers fairly consistently.  

I like what we are building here.  If it turns out Zach is not the answer, I woudl prefer the approach that @slimjasi outlined above.  Get a younger vet who could potentially be here a while if he works out. 

I am afraid if we went all in for Rodgers, we would have buyer's remorse similar to what Denver is feeling right now. Cap and picks needed to acquire a guy on the downside of his career is too steep a price to pay.

This is a good, reasonable post.  Made sense at the time.

Kinda holds true now.

He's here now so let's go Rodgers, but I get your initial thoughts from 10 months ago.

This thread aged well. Lol.
