I'm prepared for this to drop at any minute, and I know it's going to, but IDK, I still find it all pretty sad. I wish he'd gotten a proper send off. I'm sure that'll happen six years from now at a nice ceremony, but this dude gave so much to the Packers and performed at such a high level for such a prolonged period of time...as a fan, it just sucks to see soooo many fans trashing the guy on his way out the door. I get that people have their irritations with him lately (I think almost entirely misconstrued but w/e), it's just bizarre in some ways watching the guy get trashed relentlessly while so much worse conduct has been largely ignored over my lifetime as a fan.

I'm doubting this has anything to do with Rodgers.
-
You can order Rodgers Jets jersey from DHGate...maybe they know something we don't!
-
Seems like that would be hurting his own cause as the negotiating period is open and the Jets would like to be telling any potential FAs that Brucie isn't the plan at QB next year. The waiting harms NYJ more than GB.
-
I'm just wondering if the Packers are trying to avoid the same thing again where he ends up in the division a year later. I don't know if that's even a thing to be reasonably attained. But that's what I'm thinking.
-
Nobody has any clue what's actually happening. Assuming it's even Rodgers holding anything up is a leap at this point. We have like zero actual information. I've literally heard the deal is done and no deal is agreed to. If I were a betting man, which I am not, the Packers want something thrown in if he plays in 2024 and they are hashing that out.
-
Yeah I need to hear it from TMZ
-
Even though I knew this was happening, my heart still sunk reading it. I accept it, but it's sad.

FA starts Wednesday. As for as mental marriage to Favre because he is relatable, meh. I think way more of all of this has to do with media. We are, oddly, more detached to athletes than we used to be because we have insights to their lives now 24/7. Favre, if playing today, is popping up all over Instagram and Snapchat womanizing at bars. People deified them, all of them, a lot more back then. Now almost all of them get mocked and brought down to size for something in their personal lives at one point or another.

I don't think Favre's fan reaction had anything to do with him how he 'identified' with people. The team had just recently been bad, 4-12 and 8-8, and then had just come off a painful playoff loss in which they very nearly made it back to the Super Bowl. So everyone's hope was to run it back at least one more time. It didn't make sense to most people watching why they wouldn't let Favre re-neg when they were THIS close to the big one. What nobody outside the org. knew was that they already thought Rodgers was really, really good. Like possibly better than Favre good. Few people believed in Rodgers, so the team's resistance to just giving Favre what he wanted and allowing him to come back wasn't very popular. It's also just different this time around, because most of the fans lived through a transition already, so the concept of the next guy being good isn't as much of a fairytale. People could be setting themselves up for disappoint there, but I think it's a real thing. People's memories are of the transition from Favre to Rodgers, not so much of the 1970s Packers.

They were not a good team but they weren't terrible even if you completely remove their "run" against a bunch of crappy teams. They barely lost to some decent/good teams. They played Philadelphia and Buffalo somewhat competitively. I had the feeling in most games last year they just were not quite there yet with a lot of the developmental players. I think many of those guys will take big steps up. I think that they were a quintessential talented but very raw group overall. With better injury fortune they probably make the playoffs by a couple of games, but they did not have a lot of those anchor points available over the course of the year. I don't know that sitting Rodgers would have made a huge difference. Just Watson and Doubs alone with another offseason and more comfort is something I'm looking forward to. I think Quay Walker is good. I'd like to see Gary back too. Like I said, I think they have a good team. I don't think they are too far from being there again with or without Rodgers but we will see.

I think that the team is pretty good and had a lot go wrong last year. So much so that if Rodgers did play next year I think they would be right back there again probably one tier beneath the true contenders. Rodgers also did not play really great football last season by any stretch and may have been hurt to a level no one is truly certain. I think Rodgers's first year as a starter is a good benchmark. They were 6-10 but lost a bunch of games on last-minute drives and were definitely competitive. No one really cared and wrote them off as a bad team, and they came out of nowhere the next year to go 11-5. So I wouldn't be surprised by that same kind of season but they could easily be 10-7 instead with a few good breaks. I definitely wouldn't write them off as non-competitive if Rodgers is traded. There are a lot of good players on that team.
-
Just my opinion but I don't really find Rodgers to be all that weird. He does some mildly oddball stuff like a million other athletes all looking for an "edge" and happens to talk to his friends about it on a podcast. That show has snowballed so many things he's spent 90 seconds talking about into much bigger deals than they are. I barely consume any of it and hear about it when my Dad calls me to tell me why he hates Aaron Rodgers. That said I think moving on is fine. I wish him the best though - hope he wins a lot of games and another SB.
-
I think it's pretty much a 0% chance Rodgers is our QB next season. He is too intentional of a personality to go through all this for nothing. Maybe it's the Jets, maybe not, but I just can't see that guy entertaining team visits for something he isn't going to do. Obviously it's not completely in his court, but I think both sides want a separation and one is imminent. Definitely feels weird. I don't sense a lot of sadness from fans. We are a lot more desensitized to sports heroes being traded in 2023 than 2007. Other factors at play, too, but it's still just...weird. I get the sense most don't hate AR but they aren't crying over his exit like I would have guessed many years ago.

^If you do bring kids to that area and show up pretty early, that is where they scout for little sausage racers. My son got picked and was hot dog in 2018. -
I think you are romanticizing Tucker's offense quite a bit. He shot less than two threes a game for the Bucks. He was an enforcer that you couldn't quite leave unguarded because he could definitely shoot, which is worth something and yes, he was a perfect fit for the Bucks. Compared to Crowder their career 3P% is separated by a percentage point or two, with Crowder taking a much higher volume of shots, basically six a game for the last 7 years. He is without a doubt a superior overall offensive player to Tucker. He has the same hustle, enforcer reputation defensively, thought admittedly probably isn't quite as good as Tucker was there. But he's probably going to play the exact same role. Stand around and take open 3s and not back down against the opposing team's best weapon. I think he is a very, very good fit for the team.
-
Crowder isn't anywhere near the washed level of Ibaka. He's probably out of shape, he hasn't played this year due to issues with the team. They got him to be PJ Tucker enforcer guy. Probably not as strong as a defender but younger, a bit longer, better offensive player that can hit an open 3.
-
I think the reactions to the KD trade are way over the top. CP3 is washed up, he is even clearly worse than he was when we played them in the Finals. Booker, ok, great scorer. Ayton is a good player, I'd maybe care more if we didn't have Giannis and Brook. So there's Durant, obviously a great player, but you lose Bridges, which is not some throw-in subtraction. Where is the defense on that team, and they have absolutely no depth. I'm not seeing the net positive of that trade overwhelming the fact that they've been a .500 team all year. I don't think they even win the West. And the assumption of health is a huge one with that group.
-
I think it's the Bucks title to lose without injury to the Big 3. I felt the same last year. That's a pretty substantial caveat though. I would like us to get the #1, but I think we would beat Boston with those 3 healthy regardless.
-
This post kind of depressed me (park experience) but I really can't say any of it is inaccurate. I didn't renew this year. I probably went too much, but yeah, it started to feel pretty lackluster. When I did my survey I listed many of these things and my rep reached out later to follow up. He said actions are being taken on food quality and price this offseason as they share the same concerns, particularly with beer and concession price. He actually used the word 'ridiculous' to describe the price.

Brian Anderson to Brewers!!!! Yes!!!
OldSchoolSnapper replied to DR28's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
my thoughts exactly, Seems like one of those signings that could end up as a little-heralded-at-the-time-but-valuable, but lately I feel conditioned to expect anyone we sign to completely tank. -
Doozie of a game. Bucks grab one with the entire Big 3 out. Down by 1 at the end of regulation after a "game-winning 3" but they draw a foul with .6 left and get to OT. Pull it out in 2OT, Carter and Beauchamp with big games.
-
He'll never shoot well enough to be people's consensus top 2. I don't think he'll move much from where he'd be now, seeing as he'll statistically crush a whole bunch of categories. I'm guessing he'll be on the bottom of most top 5s and have 3 championships...maybe more if he goes chasing rings after Milwaukee.
-
The biggest plus of the season so far is Lopez. I don't know if it's the rest or something, but I went from thinking he was cooked to thinking he is a huge piece this year.
-
Now that was about as fun a game to be at as you can get in October. I have to admit some of the calls did seem one sided. Classic NBA letting guys box in the paint and then calling touch fouls on the perimeter. I think BKN was called for 5 techs tonight and a Flagrant 1. And always fun to see a coach get tossed.
