the comment on Favre showed his inability to see outside of" his" box. RP hit on the head he was an idiot on some of stuff. I will say this on most teams at any level what he just did would get you fined and suspended and in some places cut.
I’m actually a bit surprised that they let him available to the media today without the “restructured” contract done. They had to see a chance that if could go south. Just odd
I know the words he said. How do I put this. I heard and saw a man who both loves the game so much he'd do it for free, but who is simultaneously burned out by his experiences with the league and on the verge of done. I think both those statements are absolutely true. The Packers operated exactly the same as 31 other teams in terms of letting players go. He even went back to Woodson for crying out loud, Gute was a college scout back then. He said all this stuff in the usual Rodgers way but it's no different than what Favre has said over the years - you look around the locker room and all your friends and peers are gone. Favre, the coaches son, was more philosophical about it; Rodgers seems bitter and yeah the ego comes in and he's sour he didn't have any control over it. But it's a spoon of the same soup, ya know? Unless you have a statesman's personality (think Manning, Brady), I think you need to be a little innocent to thrive at that position. Rodgers lost his a long time ago.
I just think if he gets power to have say in roster and new contract that would have him stay. With his ego why leave when the team would cave and give you what you want.
He hates the business of football even if it led to his wealth. And to him people like Gute and Murphy are part of that “establishment”.
Why leave? He hates the business of football. He’s going to have a seat at the table in his next destination, bank that. 31 other teams heard that loud and clear.
If he hates the business why was he so pissed that GB would not listen to he thought should be on the team?
I am not convinced he won't be given it in GB. I can see Murphy show Gute the door and let Rodgers hand pick his GM.
It’s complicated, like him. He had this vision what the culture should be, not just talent, beyond that
Murphy is more the issue than Gute. That’s loud and clear
