With just how bad our STs were all year its almost a little baffling we didn't start utilizing the starters

There's got to be a middle ground there somewhere. The ST's sucked swamp water for decades, it seems. Considering the level of attrition on the Offensive line (down to third level replacements for too many games), I'm not sure that using starters as blockers on the PAT, FG, and Punting teams is a good answer either.

The downfield parts of kickoff and punting teams were flat-out bad. Lack of sufficient talent is an issue, but so was the inability for too many of the GB players on those teams to consistently perform their role - poor containment, poor tackling, poor downfield blocking technique and blocking discipline.

JFC.... Find someone who can catch kicks and can run faster than my grandma....

JFC.... Find a real LS too.

One Super Bowl appearance in Rodgers' Hall of Fame career seems really disappointing. Part of that is on the organization/team/coaches, but part of it's on him, too. And salary cap hell won't facilitate going for another run next year, even if he comes back.
Talk me off the ledge.

Ball seems to be in AR’s court, he needs to decide if he wants to retire or play somewhere else or stay in GB. The “last dance” business suggests he’s not staying, but that narrative sure ended in a whimper.

If he wants to play somewhere else, it will be AFC I have to think. Not sure if there’s a super ripe place with a clear championship road, but AFC South looks best. AFC West has Broncos, but has Herbert and Mahomes. East is, well, east first of all and it seems he would rather go west, and has Allen and NE. North has Burrow and Jackson. South has Titans, but maybe he goes to the Colts. Colts would be South favorites with him. Dome suits him. It would be a reverse-Manning situation for them. Or maybe he goes to Titans? That would actually be a good situation too. Henry, a good D, respected coach, great shade of blue on the helmets.

If he stays in GB, Packers are NFC North favorites and still SB contenders. “Last dance” stuff makes it a little awkward but it’s only really a Bulls-ish last dance if you win it all.

Any chance philly would pitch a Rodgers for hurts/picks swap? I think if I was Rodgers, I'd want to pick my favorite non-dallas nfc east team.

What about Rodgers for multiple picks from Philly/Denver which we reroute for Watson? I assume he still has a lengthy suspension looming.

I feel better about hurts than tua.

Anyone down to trade for Huntley/MINSHEW to spice up the QB comp provided Rodgers leaves? I'm a die hard optimist, but, my love enthusiasm is a 4.5/10.

I think you bring in a Bridgewater or Marriota as the Vets to pair with Love. Either should be very affordable to a team friendly multi year deal and should both be very good in MLF offense if Love isn’t quite ready yet. I’d also sniff around on Trubisky

Definitely. If we move on from AR you bring in a vet. There will be some cut and other that can be had cheap. I can't wrap my head around Trubisky as a Packer lol. He'll be a FA though.

I wonder how much of the interview Pat McAfee will spend telling Aaron where he should go play, on today's show?

Last time we had a backup Bears QB, we won it all

The more I have seen QB play in Chicago since Trubisky, the more I am wondering if the dude actually has a load of talent and was just incredibly poorly coached. I'd consider him a low risk, medium/high reward guy. Still only 27 and surprisingly was good enough to make the pro bowl earlier in his career.

[M-C-G]

And to be clear, I think Bridgewater is the guy you want with Marriota second and Trubisky a distant third.

He's looked really good in every opportunity in Buffalo, would be funny for him to come good in GB

I don’t get the love of Bridgewater, honestly. You know what he is, a middling qb that puts you in draft purgatory. I’d rather role with Love, Trubisky, or even Marriota with the hope that they figure it out

Bridgewater is just a great fit for MLF offense and should be cheap. And if the team is ready to start Love, then I want to start Love, but I think a year with Bridgewater as your guy and maybe transition during the season or when the team thinks Love is ready.

Believe it or not, Bridgewater has a better On Target % than Rodgers the last two years and lesser Bad Throw %. It is not a sexy signing, just one that I think could be a really really good fit with our system.

[TJ_Ford_11]

I’ll take my chances on Gardner Minshew if he hits the market over Tribuchet, Teddy, or Marriotta.

[M-C-G]

I'll add to why I think Bridgewater makes sense with a couple of other stats;
Career QB rate when the ball is out in 2.5 seconds or less - 102.5, 238 first down, 25 TD, 5 INT on 600 attempt
Career QB rate with 3rd down and 4-6 yards to go 103.9, completion 64%
Career QB rate with 3rd down and 7-9 yards to go 104.1 completion 70%

I think this bodes to being a run first team to try and set up your QB to have manageable 3rd downs, get the ball out quick and take advantage of play action ( career QB rate on play action 101, with 10 TD, 78 first down and 3 INT on 195 attempt)

[ReasonablySober]

Bridgewater makes no sense, I'm sorry. The Packers aren't going to contend if Rodgers leaves, so playing a 29 year old journeyman would be stupid. Love is going into his third year and 100% needs to be the guy. Let him show off what he can or can't do. Maybe he shows enough and looks like the clear guy going forward, or maybe he bombs and the Packers are looking at Stroud or Young in 2023.

Either way, they need to play Love and preferably without an average vet looking over his shoulder. See: Tua and Fitzmagic.

I mentioned up above, if they think Love is ready, that is my preference. I also think having Bridgewater(or insert any vet here) be the guy that starts after Rodgers even for a half season takes a tone of pressure off Love. They go from loathing that they don't have Rodgers to looking forward to when they get to see Love make some starts.

But I get your point, just don't see us doing that.

[Treebeard]

Only half-joking, Blake Bortles for another stint as a backup..... He's no threat to a green QB with a long leash, but he can run an NFL offense for a while in a pinch...

[WeekapaugGroove]

Oh I like this idea.
