Should the Packers dump Aaron Rodgers?

[Archae]

I mean, losing 5 games in a row?
With three interceptions on Sunday?

[FarPoint]

1. From what I hear...

He is not giving any leadership or confidence with the offensive team....sarcastic, belittling to them....sounds like his arrogance is a barrier to team success...

I say, put him on the Bench second string.

2. Did he not get a cushy deal of $50 million a year for the next 4?

To stay in Green Bay?

What a waste.

3. They've been like a one punch fighter for years

Yes they’ve won 13 games several years in a row but it was too dependent on one guy. All his “weapons” left but I sense that some of that was because of him.

4. They should have done that this past offseason

Had they approached the right QB needy team (Colts, Texans, Falcons), they could have gotten at least a 1 and a 3 for him. Based on his play this season and the huge contract he signed, Packers would have to be willing to either carry his cap number or give him up for lower picks (talking day 3 draft picks). I doubt Rodgers would be willing to go to a rebuilding team at this point in his career.

5. They could declare him a Covid threat to the team and America!

6. He has a brilght future in Ivermectin sales.

7. Yes. Next question?

8. Its hard to dump someone on contract who has been MVP the last two years.

I don't know what options the Packers have for getting rid of him, but I bet they are all expensive.

If they keep losing, its probable that Rodgers will announce his retirement. No other team is going to pick up a QB who is clearly past his prime and is also a diva.

That said, there are a lot of things dogging the Packers - inexperience and injuries for two. Rodgers is part of the problem, but despite the interceptions I don't think his skill level is declining. Once you start losing and keep losing the psychological burden gets heavier and heavier.

I've never had much confidence in Jordan Love. I hope I'm wrong about that.

10. If the Packers trade Rodgers

the will still have a LOAD of dead money against the cap because of Rodgers. He isn't going anywhere unless he retires.

9. Vikings fan living in North Central Wi chiming in: So you start Love?

You think THAT'S going to be better? You're team's just not good this year. You've been spoiled for the last 3 decades. It wasn't going to last forever. Frankly, if I could curse people, I would curse the Packers to have a carousel of horrible QBs for the next 20 years.

Is it Rodgers fault that you have horrible receivers? Kind of. He could have not taken all the money. But, let's not let the coaching staff off the hook for a horrible game plan and the front office for using the money they didn't spend to keep Adams on a handful of really shitty receivers instead of a couple/one really good one.

11. I can see that.

I mean, they lost to DETROIT??!!??

The next game is at Lambeau, against Dallas.

12. Between Favre & Rodgers, Packer fans have enjoyed a lot of years with a great QB.

They've been spoiled. Now they are getting a taste of the future and it's going to be like for them. Think of the pre-Favre years because that's what it will be like.
