Haha what if this does all end up being an ugly public marriage fight but never was going to be a divorce situation and outsiders made it worse than it is?

Come on Aaron, let's get the band back together bro, er, keep it together. Let's get some ice cream and win a Super Bowl, eh? EH?

Fire Gute. For creating the issue and for not trading Rodgers for max value after screwing up.

Piss poor managment.

All Gute had to say, when drafting Love was " We are trying to build the best team possible. Injuries occur, it is always nice to have quality players that can step in and keep the team a float, this is especially important at the QB position. This is Aaron Rodgers team, we believe we have over the years placed too much on his shoulders in order for the Packers to succeed, it is my job to make his job easier."..and then proceed to draft a f#%*!ing wide receiver in one of the next 2 to 7 rounds in potentially the deepest WR draft class in decades.. To say they didn't like any, makes them look completely incompetent and devoid of any skill of talent analysis.

They were basically pushing Rodgers out the door with their actions. They had a time frame and a plan to have Rodgers out after this season, and Rodgers said " F you... I won you a super bowl, Multiple MVP's you are not going to disrespect and emabarass me. You don't want me, let me go." Dude was loyal, until it wasn't being reciprocated. Dude cut is family off for crying out loud, This comes as a little surprise. Know your fu!$ing audience.

Poor management takes a team that was out of the playoffs to back to back NFC championship games? Didn't realize they said they didn't like any wrs. I always thought they traded up for a wr only to get passed up by Philly and the 49ers who also traded up.

But a close relative of mine is friends with a guy who grew up in GB. His buddy knows Gute from somewhere and Gute told him a few weeks back that some stuff was gonna come out soon but that it was no big deal and that they'd get past it.

Aaron isn't built to withstand Packers fans turning on him.

Packer fans won't turn on him unless he forces his way out of GB. And then at that point, you'll have a big segment of Packer fans that'll blame the Packers organization and will root against Jordan Love - that is, unless he becomes a HOFer.

My friends and I seem to be spilt 50/50. But I would guess that both sides would be okay with having him come back if he just drops the drama.

Highly doubt that. Depends a lot of the age of the fans. Older Favre-era fans already have a dislike for Rodgers and the 35+yr olds are already starting to turn the past few seasons and more so with the events of this past weekend.

LaFleur looks like he wanted to cry a few times during his presser.

Gute said he's fine. TT once told him "they might kill you but they won't eat you"

We know this from experience. Most Packer fans haven't evolved much over the last 15 years.

Sure, there are people who are turning on Aaron. A lot of the same arguments that came out against Favre's awful approach to the 2008 offseason apply to Rodgers as well. There's some selfishness. There's some ego. I was against Favre back then because I thought he approached that whole thing in a terrible way and really put the organization in a terrible position. Also, I was kinda ready to move on to Rodgers - that Dallas game had me intrigued.

I'm less annoyed with Rodgers right now, but he hasn't been Favre-caliber vindictive, yet.

But man, we had a hell of a ton of Favre fans who just trashed the Packers. Many of them crawled back when they won a Super Bowl with Aaron. But it was a pain for at least a couple seasons.

And right now, the Packers fans on my timelines are about 75-25 pro Rodgers.

And on my time line it's about 95-5 anti Rodgers (and honestly i only say "5" cause I'd assume there were a few posts I didn't see)

I get what your saying though and don't particularly disagree. But the bolded is in way more dispute then i believe your giving credit. It's not a great leap to say what Rodgers pulled is worse (at least in regards to his time with GB)

Yes I know you disagree with that but it isnt far fetched

I don't know if I'd say far-fetched. That's not quite the term I'd use, because it's not something I'm speculating about.

I'd say that the facts of what Aaron has done so far don't rise to the level of what Favre did back in 2008. You don't agree with that. That's fine with me. It's a subjective analysis, ultimately. And I may feel differently if this is still going on in August.

Again, all Favre did was be wishy washy about retirement for a couple seasons, retire, then decide to come back. It caused a **** show and division in the fanbase, but it had no tangible effect on the team. Rodgers is, allegedly, trying to get a GM fired and wants to be traded after the first year of a contract extension. He just won an MVP and wants out. There is literally no comparison to what Rodgers is doing and what Favre did.

I'll be the GM. Seems like a pretty easy job, just draft some guys and I can look at mock drafts with the best of them. Not really any trades made in the NFL. I have no clue how the salary cap works but I'll just tell Goodell to **** off if he says I can't do something.
