C'mon. That's a huge assumption. It's the NFL. They could make the playoffs this year for all we know.

He ran for 1,000 yards and is struggling to complete 60% of his passes. He is, right now, a one-look and dash QB. He's super young and his roster was terrible, from the targets to the protection, and they were scared of letting him throw for a while, so I'll cut him a lot of slack. But I think he's going to end up serviceable with a prolonged career based on pure athleticism, but bouncing around several teams. I'm sure that trade scores out beautifully, but my point is if that 2024 pick becomes 18th overall and Fields has a bad year, it's not going to seem all that great if they're on year 40 of the QB search in 2025. I'm glad they seem convinced he's the guy, cus I don't think he is.

At face value the Bears trade looks nice, except Justin Fields most likely sucks and if they miss out on Mahomes II again at #1, none of it will matter. I was hoping all along they buy into their own hype train that they don't need to draft a QB #1 because I really believe they should have done it anyway. I thinks Fields ceiling is not far off what we've already seen. He's fine and will last a while bouncing around, but I don't think he's "the guy."

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. -
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. -
Article: Can The Crew Still Make the Playoffs?
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
IMO, about 5 of those teams are clearly superior this year. I thought we were a bubble team for most of the season. Padres, without some of their injuries, would be even more comfortably ahead. Even if the Brewers make it, I do not think they have a team like 2011, 2018 or even 2019 or 2021. IMO, last season was more of a missed opportunity than this one, just having a bad week against an ATL team they were good enough to play with. It's baseball though. Anything can happen. -

I am content with the season. Maybe not the right word, but, they are not that good. It doesn't feel like a missed opportunity to me. I don't think they are better than any of the 6 ahead of them. If they get in, someone blew it, basically. We are not bad, but not what I'd call good. -

Philly is not playing well though. 10 games is enough to blow this. I'd think the Brewers have to go 7-2 though. Opponent quality matters least of all in baseball. The bad teams left on the schedules are probably more energized honestly at the end of the year when they have a chance to impact results. That's more exciting than slogging through July 20 games under .500.
