Rodgers weekly spot with Mcafee today


Rhg1084

Recommended Posts

When I am looking to explode my brain, I head over to Over the Cap and try to figure this Aaron Rodgers contract out.

But I keep coming back to the same two things:

1)  Aaron Rodgers would be crazy to amend that contract to pay him less in 2023-2024.

2)  The Jets would be crazy to assume this contract in its current form.

Then the bonus point-of course the Green Bay Packers are trying to get some sucker team to give them multiple high draft picks to assume this mess.

I made a thread asking others for their input. I can't definitively say a name. I am open to a good scheme fit with someone who has talent. I think we build with more offensive pieces through the draft and free agency, and then bring in a QB like Carr, pipedream Lamar, and/or wait to see who else shakes loose. We've seen top tier talent somehow become available (Russell Wilson, no one saw him falling apart) and the days of everyone being untouchable are over with. I think we have options. And maybe that wisconsin guys season wasn't just about his injured finger and talent loss. It might be the beginning of the end of what he once was. I don't need to take a gamble on what could be a costly (draft pick wise) 40 year old with a predisposition to pissing me off. 

Ok, instead of arguing lets discuss. Maybe his somewhat down season was because, Devante moved on, HIs former number one WR. He was getting chemistry with Doubs and he gets hurt and he did not have Watson for the start of the year. Watson came in and started getting some chemistry and looked good down the stretch. Now he had what 26 TD passes this year. He threw 12 picks , that is still a  2/1 ratio and over his career he is a 4/1 TD to interception ratio.  The current Jets QB situation had 15 TD passes between 3 people.

You can totally dislike the person, that's your prerogative  but you cant deny the football player. He may suck as a person with his crazy, but the football player can still be a winner. If he can win, as long as he hasn't pulled a Deshaun Watson in his life or worse. I would like him helping the team and maybe fixing Zach in the process.

No no, I am totally enjoy our discussion. Not mad at you, I just loathe him and don't want him dirtying up the team I love. I think he is beginning his decline. Yes, a declined meatball is better than anything we field and I get that. But we aren't stuck between "him" or Mike White. There are options out there and more will be available. 40 years on this planet for a QB is a lot. I don't trust it or him. He was once great. Once. I don't think he is that same player. I think last year was him starting the decline. And once the wheels start to shimmy, its not long before the whole sumbich goes down. I want Zach to be great. And my hope is that a new OC and a veteran QB to watch and learn from will do just that. I think that meatball is the worst teacher we could ask for on a young, impressionable, struggling qb.

He is a year removed from a league MVP with the OC The Jets just hired. Brady won a Super Bowl at 43. Why cant Rodgers win a Super Bowl at 40?

Zach will not be great until he sits behind a great. The kid has had everything handed to him his whole life. I believe Rodgers is the medicine he needs to be fixed.

A man isn't the one making the decision. His GM will make the decision, and without a no-trade clause, Rodgers has no real say.

Two things:

  1. that's not what he meant, Rodgers wanted to be involved on the personnel Green Bay is looking to acquire
  2. Rodgers could make it difficult without restructuring his contract for GB. Plus he could say he is retiring if he doesn't go the team of his choosing, therefore no compensation at all.

Remind me, who designed that O and who called plays on O that year?

Hint:  It wasn't Hackett.

The question is not "why can't he". 

The question "how will he".

Zach will never, ever, be great.

Rodgers is not a mentor or teacher, quite the contrary he doesn't believe in such things.

We all know his accolades. They don't matter at this stage of his career, imo. He has shown a decline, he is about to be 40. He has outlived the average career here. Brady is an anomaly not the standard.

Answer to number one. Who knows were you in the room when they had the offensive meetings between Lafleur, Hackett and The soon to be Jets QB Aaron Rodgers.

Answer to number two. Since you asked the question then answer it.

Answer to number three. He has all the physical athletic skills. No reason he cant be after sitting.

Answer to number four. I never said Rodgers was a mentor, but Zach could learn and watch and start to think differently over the next 2 years sitting behind the next NY Jets QB Aaron Rodgers.

By the way bring back that ugly fish profile pick instead of slamming the Dead over Floyd.

Ok, That's great. You have the right to believe that. I just do not feel the Jets are thinking the same thing.

 I dont know but rogers to the jets is sounding more and more like a complete cluster F. Like maybe the worst thing the jets have ever done.

 

AR is an ass. He sounds disgruntled. He does not sound like a guy that is looking forward to the future. He can retire at any moment. Wtf?

 

The only way this does NOT go down a legendary mistake is if the draft compensation for his services are much much less than 2 1sts

It would be disgusting if we pay two firsts

A player coming to the Jets just to 'retire' and collect a check.. no way that would ever happen to this historic organization!

They don't need to ammend his contract but Rodgers can ammend it without losing money. Would just be to move cap hits around for Packers/other team.

I don't know who that is, but I am losing my sh*t right now. I am embarrassed that I ever wanted this clown. He hates his own family, he hates packer nation that supported a bum like him, he probably hates tiramisu too. Just a really really bad person. If he came begging, I wouldn't take him. I hope we don't bring this guy in. I'll roll the dice with someone else. I don't need a 40 year old, smirking, self righteous egomaniac QB'ing the team I love. Forget that. 

This guy probably wanted to trade 7 first round picks for Watson. lol

I don’t like what I know about Rodgers as a human (no, it’s not about the alternative views he holds) but I also don’t care when it comes to whether he should be a Jet.

1) if not legacy what other reason for a trade? He already has the contract and has said he still thinks he can play MVP ball

2) change his statement to say NJ then, statement is valid. Winning with the NYJ given our history will go much further than winning a SB anywhere else on the country.

Joe Namath is still JOE FN NAMATH 54 years later.  Winning a SB with the Jets would be an even bigger accomplishment than Messier with the Rangers...

I understand. I could care less about him, but for some reason I'd rather him then Carr, or Jimmy.

I’d take either and be happier than I am right now.

Yes all come with concerns but running it back with last year’s QB room isn’t an option.

Don’t worry - they hate everything.
