You're replacing a MVP.
You better be good.
Vince Lombardi is rolling over in his grave.

From all corners there is every indication Jordan Love is improving and will be a good starting NFL QB. Just where on the QB food chain he ends up no one really knows yet, but he is very young still and I do not see why he will not continue to improve over say the next 5-years learning defenses, and how to counter specific defensive schemes. Moving on from AR is necessary for so many reasons and the more draft capital the Packers can get to start the rebuild the better. A year too late but nonetheless make the move! I'm excited about the future and possibilities if the Packers make the move from AR NOW!

The decision has been made. Love is in, Rodgers is out, and all we're waiting for now is the details of t he trade.

My prediction? We'll go to as many or more SuperBowls in the first 10 years after Rodgers than we did in the last ten with him.

It's highly unreasonable to expect the promising Jordan Love to spend another year on the bench.
It's highly unreasonable to expect to obtain another young quarterback who is as promising as Love, and is as ready to run the Packers offense.
***
It's highly unreasonable to expect Aaron Rodgers to lead the Packers anywhere good in 2023 after the past three season have ended with heartbreaking losses at Lambeau Field.
It's highly unreasonable to expect Rodgers to be around more than a year or two with the Packers, anyway.
It's highly unreasonable to sell out the good name of the Packers for an arrogant and domineering and self-absorbed Rodgers, and for fans to trade their dignity for a guy who holds out on us for three straight offseasons.
***
So it is that it seems highly reasonable to focus our attention and gather our support for Love, who has been quietly classy and cooperative and patient for so very long, and shows promising signs of talent and poise as our quarterback of the future.

If Love is our QB, (nothing is certain in the NFL and Green Bay) he's had unique chances that aren't afforded first round draft choices anymore.

He received his QB 101 in college. He received 3 years of NFL graduate study under one of the best QBs ever, to watch and learn from.

He's shown great personality, work ethic, reserve and advancement. His ceiling is high and not close to being reached.

He gets to spend at least 6 months a year in Green Bay Wisconsin.

We and he couldn't ask for more. How many NFL franchises would wish they were in this predicament?

IT...

IS...

TIME!...

While non us really like to throw anyone under da bus, why is it always the QB's going out on a bad note with this club. GB gave diva boy more then they should and he is still sticking his finger at them. Maybe its his way of finging excuses as to why he isnt productive anymore, the blame game is starting and he isnt taking any of the lack of success for this team. What a POS. Thus, Love will be a breath of fresh air for all of us.

If you moved up or back in to the 1st rd to draft a QB that others passed on, then you must have convinced yourself that there is a greatness in that player.

To now say that a player doesn't need to be this or that, or have greatness in him, now reeks of moving on for the simple fact of moving on, and can be done with any QB.

If the FO believes in Love, to any decent extent of ability, they don't need to wait for Rodgers' decision. Make the best decision for the team, period.

What is the FO afraid of most?

Losing Rodgers, or Love not being what they envisioned when drafted, or that either puts the team in a bad place?

If the latter, then the FO needs a rebuild more than the team.

One reason Love doesn't have to be good is because he cannot truly show what he is, until he gets a bunch of games as starter. It's only then we will get a good idea what the Packers have in him.

Either the front office believes in him, or not. Since they drafted him (even traded up for him) I'm assuming they do.

Besides the terrible Rodgers contract that needs to come of the books, it is better to move on a season too early, on an aging player, than too late. Last year would have been the optimum time, but a deal can still be done this offseason.

As for the difficult decision, I see it as a fairly straightforward one.

So the interesting thing to me is “What will the Packers do at the QB position in the draft?”
There are a wide variety of high-potential QBs in this draft.

Ginger = #12
Mary Ann = #10

So crying about the “Rodgers Drama” is so laughable. When Rodgers is gone you will find some other drama to cry about(LF,MM,Barry, your mommy never really loved you, etc) it’s like overhearing the cheerleaders lunch table in junior high. It would actually be funny if it wasn’t so sad….

The options are:
1. Move on from Rodgers, and take an immediate cap hit of over $40 million. See what Love can do.
2. Keep Rodgers, and have the salary cap hole get deeper and deeper. Lose Love, and make the team even more beholden to Rodgers.
If the team chooses option 1, they will cut their losses, and can do what Philly and Miami are doing- build a team around the strengths of their QB. If Love is a complete disaster, they at least tried, and can move on, having done their due diligence. If they choose option 2, the "will he/won't he" scenario will be played out for at least one more off-season. And with no viable backup plan at QB, the team would be joining the mad scramble for a "transitional QB" if Rodgers just decides to retire. That means they would be irrelevant for years to come. Unless they get lucky, and land someone like Burrow or Mahones. But since I don't exactly trust the ability of this team to judge talent, that would be unlikely, IMO.
The answer seems obvious. And as far as all the MVPs Rodgers has gotten, good for him. Brady has been league MVP three times. He has also won seven SB's out of ten appearances. And was MVP five times.

Honestly this is not a difficult decision in the least. This is the easiest off-season decision they have to make, run as far away from Rodgers as possible. Hopefully via a trade to at least recoup some assets for a past his prime QB & if I was the Packers while trying to get the best trade scenario possible in assets I wouldn't get to greedy to hamper the process. Lets drop the notion that he may retire, this is not happening. Rodgers is not leaving $60M plus on the table. Therefore the Packers can do anything they want as far as moving him but I would work with him to a desired location.

The AJones re-signing may signal something here in favor of Love. Having a dynamic running back (no offense to AJ) will be needed for Love to succeed. So that was a good signing. We’ve got 2 if not 3 good young WRs which I’m sure Love has been spending time with. So that’s good. And of course, the OL is probably the most important and it looks like the chess pieces were moved around enough last year that things looks promising. So that’s good. Add a couple of good draft picks and maybe a FA or 2 and we may have something on offense!!

Actually, with a weak right side of the offensive line and a well below average receiving corp, he has to be really good, or we will be 3rd in our mediocre division again.

sure is going to be boring around here when and if AR goes to the Raiders...if he does my bet is they'll be in the playoffs, Packers with Love won't...

It's time MLF took back the reins and started running the offense. We've had enough of Rogers calling the shots. Who does he think he is telling the FO he needs to be in on personnel decisions. Trade him for what ever deal you can get. If he insists on comming back, tell him he will be the backup to Love. Time to dump his pet teamates too.

heres what website ZoneCoverage thinks, and its probably pretty close to being correct....""Last year, Rodgers made his decision roughly a week before free agency began. I’d expect that decision a bit quicker this year. But don’t expect it immediately after he emerges from his darkness retreat either. The conversations between the team and the quarterback will take time, especially if Rodgers wants a trade or the team reworks his contract. Sometime in the first week of March feels right."" I don't think coming out of the darkness the first thing out of Rodgers mouth will be something about "his decision"....hope it is though...

Love is going to be a bust, and when that happens all you Rodgers haters will feel the pain. Too bad !

When Favre left town, Rodgers was not good He, like love had shown signs, but hadn't been battle tested Rodgers will go down as one of the greats, but he has more MVPs than the team has super bowl wins during his tenure. Time for a step forward to see if love has what it takes GO PACK Go!

Love needs to spend time with his WR's and just move the chains and use his legs a little and a big part or the run game to be successful. I would like a legit #1 WR if Love starts this season and a very good TE. I think he'd be good to go with that. If AR is traded to a pretty loaded team with more than 2 weapons GB has had since 2018, then I do believe he could win a Super Bowl with that team...If they have a top 5 Defense. AR is not what he was but he would be more motivated and have a more show ready team. Gute is not very good at adding pieces into the mix at the right time and it take the team up a notch or two and ML is not the coach to take us to the show either.....We may just be waiting 5 more years for a great team and HC smart enough to do his part...not to mention DC.

The Packers are done with Rodgers. Rodgers is trying to hide that fact with his "hello darkness my old friend" adventure and attempt at trying to save face. Both sides were trying to save face, but the Packers may have flinched first. Probably intentionally. Doesn't matter. Even if his ego is so big that he feels he must let that chip on his shoulder out weigh what is good for the team and him, the Packers will part with him. He can accept that and move on or continue to harbor ill feelings and drag everyone down with him. Unless Murphy is a complete and utter fool, they move on to Love.

Hopefully Gute has the balls to tell Murphy this...

Packers management is not good.... always kicking the can down the road....stop overpaying players...🧀🧀🧀

Rodgers time has come to an end in GB. If he had said at the end of the past 4 seasons YES I am still gonna be here next season then he would be our QB with out no doubts but his antics of holding the front office hostage until the last second so they have no time to make a plan has made their decision easy, He will get traded and let the era of Love begin. Personally I wish it had started last year. Should have traded him and Tae as a package deal for a kings ransom to build around JL10. It would seem the young receivers like Jordan as well and need to grow together so the next 5 years or more will have the arrow pointing up. With Rodgers thinking he's so great he doesn't have to work with his young guys to build a rapport he's hurting the team as much as he is with his over the top contract! Time to move on.

Some here may remember before the 2007 draft, after Favre said he was returning for another season, rumors were rampant the Packers were going to trade Rodgers to the Raiders for Randy Moss.

But on Day 2 of the draft, the Patriots traded for Moss and Rodgers remained in GB.

According to Andrew Brandt, who was a Packer executive at the time, Team Rodgers was constantly whining to the FO that "if you aren't going to start Rodgers, then trade him already".

They almost did! Interesting that the Packers' brass was no way sold on Rodgers replacing Favre in his 3rd year.

Love is probably better positioned as the next starter with the current FO than Rodgers was in 2007.

I believe in MLF's scheme, the same scheme that Love now knows front to back. I also believe in the players around Love who were drafted for specific roles in that scheme. He doesnt have to play like 2020 Rodgers for this offense to be top 5. He just needs to do his part to keep the offense on schedule and hopefully be able make the occasional off schedule play when necessary. People are convinced this team will take a step back once Love plays but Im not one of them. I fully expect the offense as a whole to improve immensely because it wont be beholden to two different offensive philosophies canibalizing each other for supremacy.. Imagine, if you will, an offense where the players are on the same page with the coaches and there's no question about what they're trying to do. Boy, I sure would like to live in a world like that. We're so close I can almost smell it.

Well it is kinda like this my friends. I was there through the greatest Era ever 1961-1968. Which means I was also there in the worst Era ever 1969- 1988 when no player and I mean NO players wanted to be in that cold,desolate, boring city (with a tiny blk community). There were talks of team moving for all you younger s. Yep,Black players hated the thought of coming to GB to play. WE have lived in paradise for the last 33 years because primarily of two QBs. If ya can get Roger's back for a couple more runs then getter done,cause those cold dark years REALLY SUCK

I have been an Aaron Rogers fan since he was given the reigns to this historic franchise and the privilege to lead the Green Bay Packers. He waited and did what was asked of him as another sure - fire first ballot HOF’r was deciding if he had another go in him or not. We are talking about the toughest man to ever wear a Packers uniform maybe even the NFL logo. Any man who sticks around waiting for that opportunity, you bet your ass has my support. This is the exact same situation, and you bet your ass Jordan Love has my support. Good Luck Jordan. You only have 100,000 shareholders to answer to! Go Pack Go!!
