Has Aaron Rodgers played his last game as a Packer?

.

In the playoffs, the Packers are my "Number 1 root against team", since the have 13 championships to the Giants 8.

Rodgers is a whiny douche. I hope they trade him to Houston.

.

is Rodgers. Not King, or any of the other pundits (who are using this story for TV ratings or clicks).

Not to worry. If a championship is on the line, it’s a pretty safe bet that Rodgers will come up short. And blame someone else. So, the 13 titles tie is safe, imv

I know it seems easy/natural to blame the QB for W's and L's but Rodgers post-season track record is pretty stellar.

He's not like Drew Brees out of the dome or something like that, Rodgers is a consistent high performer in the playoffs. He's had clunkers (one the Giants helped influence lol, but more often than not he shows up in the playoffs).

Football is a team game and as unlikable as Rodgers might be, doesn't make it right to pin playoff success and failure solely (or mostly) on him. Especially the way he has played.

Plus, he has a SB MVP award.

Unless he truly retires. But that’s not happening

Look, I hear ya. Marino and Rodgers are the two best regular season QBs I’ve ever seen-by far. But call it what you want, blame it on anything you care to, but in the biggest games, I’ve seen him come up small..

We gifted him his only championship by choking away a 31-10 lead with about 7 1/2 minutes to go against Philly. Had we held on, GB doesn’t make the playoffs and zero titles for AR..Yes, he was unconscious down that 2010 stretch and through the SB, whether GB lucked into the playoffs that year or not..

A top 10 or better all-time QB for sure, but sorry, Not a fan of his in a big game with a title at stake..My opinion of course, but that’s how I view him, all his props notwithstanding..

A pissed off Rodgers is bad news for the Bears and potentially good for our draft pick next season. No Rodgers in that division? Then it might be completely up for grabs.

Because he has to report by Week 10 for season to count.

i think it's the packers or retirement. there simply isn't a way for green back to get proper value back outside of the 49ers

you can't trade him to denver. what could they possibly offer? late first round picks? no thanks.

i can't see green bay trading him. rodgers is a big enough ass though that i could see him retiring out of spite

Guy plays every game hard. Plays half his games in the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field and still wins every year.

Meanwhile, we make up all sorts of excuses for our QBs.

Do not want him here.

going to be traded before the season starts. I expect the Packers realize the damage is irreparable and this is their best opportunity to get back a pretty good trade package for AaRod.

So expect the Packers and the Broncos to get very creative. And then I expect the AFC West to be the best division in years with the three of the games great QBs...

will give in. They got abused by fans on Favre until Favre showed his true self and duplicity with Minnesota.

Lots of Packer fans support the team taking hard stance. If Rodgers wants to retire he has to pay back stupid bonus money and will forego like another 25-27million in guarantees and Packers retain his rights.

His contract is really not bad, it’s mid tier compared to anyone on their 2nd contract. Plus you can negotiate and extension to drop the year 1 cap hit if need be.

Laughing at Rodgers coming up small in the playoffs. I guess so does every other QB that doesn’t have multiple titles. Such a inaccurate take.

Rodgers in GB makes it tougher for the Bears.

Ha, I was about to post the same thing. I hope Rodgers, Goff, and Cousins have great seasons and lose the first round of the playoffs like they usually do.

I hear you, disagree - I think Rodgers IS a big game QB, but I hear you - and the only counterpoint I'll make is in 2011 JPP blocked a potential game tying FG or it's possible XLVI doesn't happen. That's pretty random and while maybe not as random as a different team blowing a 21 point 2nd half lead to keep your season alive, it's still pretty fortunate and as we know Eli has a 2nd ring because of it and a 2nd SB MVP.

Fair, and I'm not far off on that tone toward the Giants - especially living in Boston-metro.

but here are key stats with Rodgers regular season vs playoffs.

Regular Season
YPA: 7.8
AYA: 8.4
Comp%: 65%
TD/INT: 4.6
INT%: 1.4%
QBR: 70+

Playoffs
YPA: 7.6
AYA: 8.0
Comp%: 65%
TD/INT: 3.5
INT%: 1.7%
QBR: 60+

So by large, the metrics are very similar; and you have to factor in the variable that the playoffs are against the very best teams.

Then the smart play is yes...

and risk losing one of the few years he has left? If I’m GB, I call his bluff.

As stated above his production remains elite in the regular season and against the best in the playoff.

We are all lucky as football fans to be able to enjoy his talent.

Frankly, it is unfair to hold it against Rodgers that he has thus far failed to lead his team on two title runs, or secure two Super Bowl MVP's.

These accomplishments put a QB into some rarefied air. To use this as a knock on Rodgers is wrong.

For Rodgers. If the value is there then maybe they pull the trigger. If not, then Rodgers can sit home on his couch and lose the year of salary if he refuses to play again.

they are almost guaranteed to miss the playoffs with their MVP on the bench, has that ever happened before? I though it was possible this year with Watson pre allegations but they also won 4 games so I can see Houston playing hardball.

GB is in between a rock and a hard place as SB contenders.

Let him rot in Texas

2018 Steelers? if you consider bell their MVP (debatable I guess - Bell and Brown both 1st team all-pros in 2017 and Steelers went 13-3), but Bell sat the whole season in 2018 and they missed the playoffs at 9-6-1.

I can't recall any instances in football where trading an all-time great still playing at an all-time caliber worked out. I can't even recall an example.

If I'm running Green Bay, Rodgers gets what he wants.

did he just not sign his tag? Either way I was more speaking to QB and league MVP.

This has shown up on this board before. If you change the Giants loss to Philly to a win, GB still makes the playoffs. I'm not sure why this comes up.

I think that's exactly what Bell did and it cost him millions in the long run

He will be traded to Denver or LV post June 1st

Carr's contract would make it possible

This is all because a 37-year-old is butt-hurt that the team drafted a QB to be his potential replacement in a few years?

Ray, every report I’ve ever seen has shown the Giants being in and the Pack being out. Are you certain?

rodgers and Wilson will still be QB'ing their teams next season, as will Watson (barring further legal developments)

I don't believe Rodgers would be this hurt over the drafting of a potential replacement. There must be deeper issues involved - perhaps he feels that the Packers have not added enough offensive weapons over the years or some other deep seated philosophical difference. That said, I would hate to be his successor - unbelievable pressure. Another factor to consider is the Jeopardy issue ---if he gets the gig, then relocation to the West Coast would be advantageous. BTW, I wasn't that impressed with him or just about any of the "guest hosts" trying to do their imitation of Alex Trebek. There was only one and the new host has to bring their own personality / approach to the table to refresh that franchise.

Do you expect Green Bay or Rodgers to give you a play by play of everything that happened?

This isn’t just about Love, the dysfunction in GB has been years long.

McCarthy left, he was the dysfunction. The Packers have had a solid team even when McCarthy was there, just that McCarthy is a terrible coach.

like many others are doing. I'm going by what we all know:

Mike McCarthy was a bad coach, carried by Rodgers for the bulk of his tenure. Got canned for continuing to mail it in (too many reports of him being lazy, I'm confident they are true).

They haven't spent a top pick on offense in a decade until the Love pick, so still not a top pick for a weapon or upgrade somewhere along the OL.

They picked Love and Rodgers puts up another MVP season.

If reports are true, there's atleast been talks of trading him.

I'm sure there's more behind the scenes. And i'm not advocating that players go this route, I just understand why they might. I 100% get it for Wilson too, their investment in the OL has been just as bad.

for Rodgers' issues. Nothing good is going to come of this for them subject to some picks from a June 1 trade to Denver.

Likely that both Green Bay and Rodgers have responsibility in this mess. I also think each side is probably only focusing on other's behavior instead of their own.

1:-He plays this year with GM still there

2-He sits out all or most of the season (doubtful)

GB plays 2 games against the Bears and their chances of winning with AR at QB are FAR greater than they would be with Love or some other lesser QB.

Put your individual feelings about Rodgers asside as they don't really matter.

It's better for the Giants if Rodgers stays with GB.

Absolutely

I think that is key as well as what they think of Love moving forward.

Green Bay has been through this before. I think Favre kept tossing out retirement (probably liked missing camp and attention) so they had Rogers as a backup. Favre got pissed and was traded to the Jets (where he should of stayed imo) and they Packers moved on pretty smoothly. Favre and Rogers are very similar in production/awards over just about the same amount of years.

What they think of Love is pretty important. Let's give the Green Bay organization some credit. Since Ron Wolf came in they have been one of the premier organizations. He has been gone a while but they pretty much maintained the path he set. Maybe they know what they are doing here.

is close to $40m.

I really doubt anything happens this season.

It's a nice story, so I'm not surprised that once someone writes it, others will pick is up. But I am certainly familiar with wrong stuff on tiebreakers being out there. If you change the NYG loss to PHI to a win, both NYG and GB make the playoffs and it is PHI who doesn't get in.

As I posted in 2010, it was reported widely that NYG didn't make the playoffs due to losing the H to H tiebreak with GB. This was not the case as TB also finished 10-6 and did not play NYG or GB. The tiebreak was actually settled through strength of victory. (This is accurately reflected in the wikipedia article on the 2010 season).

Denver before the season

They've had arguably the best QB (at least top 2) for the last 15 years and won 1 SB. Part of that might be due to hanging onto McCarthy for so long. That's on their FO (I'm so glad he's now in Dal. Hope he does just enough to stay there awhile).

Overall, I think they've drafted pretty well, but they generally don't play in FA, which could've possibly put them over the top a couple of other seasons.

Even with the draft, maybe someone other than a clipboard holder in the first rd. last year, might've put them over the top. Maybe a stud defensive player would've helped them hold TB to less than 31 pts in the NFC title game. Maybe resigning Blake would've helped (they thought we overpaid for him). Maybe another offensive weapon would've helped when TB shut down Adams.

They've been successful, if your goal is to make it to the playoffs. Not as much, if your goal is to win the SB. One of my brothers in law is from WI and big Packer fan. I don't think he'd say they've done such a great job.

from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers and has a grand total of 6 conference title games and 1 super bowl appearance since 2001. (20 years)

Keep in mind, their division holds the Lions, Bears, and Vikings. Only one of those teams ever seems to be good in any given season.

I was going to add (but didn't want my post to be longer than it already was), GB has been fortunate to play in one of the worst divisions, for years. Almost as bad as the AFC East when NE won it year after year.

No, you are correct, fiddy. They both finished at 10-6, GB got in by tiebreaker. GB was the last team in (NO was the other WC at 11-5). Not sure how they get in if NYG have more wins.

I think he and GB will come to an agreement in the next few months, and this will all blow over. By bringing Love into his contract dispute, I do wonder if he risks losing his locker room.

To me it sounds like the media and fans are bringing Love into it. Love was picked a year ago, that happened and Rodgers being pissed off my their decision to forego an impact player already occurred. This is a series of events that all led to where we are now. If you believe what's out there, the trade rumors were the final straw.

Rodgers true motive in my opinion is to get to west coast.
1. His girlfriend is a California hollywood address.
2. If by chance he were to end up being the jeopardy host, which he is trying to be, its filmed in California.

bottom line is moving as close to California as he can would be very convenient for all his future endeavors.

can't see him doing full time Jeopardy until then anyway (if that's even on the table).

I don't doubt that going back west is high on his list, but I can't say its the #1 reason. SF is off the table now I would imagine, and the Rams likely can't afford him in draft capital or caproom. So that leaves Vegas? Mehh.

"would you ever consider giving up football to host Jeopardy!?

I don’t think I’d need to give up football to do it. They film 46 days a year. I worked 187 this year in Green Bay. That gives me, eh—[pauses]—178 days to do Jeopardy! So I feel like I could fit 46 into that 178 and make it work. It would be a dream job for sure, and I’m not shy at all about saying I want the job."

Football is a team game and as unlikable as Rodgers might be, doesn't make it right to pin playoff success and failure solely (or mostly) on him. Especially the way he has played. Plus, he has a SB MVP award. Look, I hear ya. Marino and Rodgers are the two best regular season QBs I’ve ever seen-by far. But call it what you want, blame it on anything you care to, but in the biggest games, I’ve seen him come up small.. We gifted him his only championship by choking away a 31-10 lead with about 7 1/2 minutes to go against Philly. Had we held on, GB doesn’t make the playoffs and zero titles for AR..Yes, he was unconscious down that 2010 stretch and through the SB, whether GB lucked into the playoffs that year or not.. A top 10 or better all-time QB for sure, but sorry, Not a fan of his in a big game with a title at stake..My opinion of course, but that’s how I view him, all his props notwithstanding..

Very fair take.

If Rodgers didn't have quite the dazzling playmaking ability, he'd be taken down a few notches. Same with Marino.

He leads strictly by his play on the field, but he could use more interpersonal skills I think. It could be the little bit that translates in the playoffs.

He tends to get taken out of postseason games quite easily. Then in the real tight ones, things seem to fall apart.

It's odd.
