zero chance san fran signs him imo. theres no way they’re replacing purdy, a guy who exists to essentially be shanahan’s avatar, with a guy who only wants to run specific plays in a specific system

i could see raiders because raiders. cant really think of another spot at this point. cant imagine tomlin wanting to deal with him.

I think it's just people being funny about Rodgers taking the Favre track from GB to the Jets and then to Vikings, I don't think they actually believe it'll happen.

That's what I thought the first couple times I saw it. But I feel like I've seen it dozens of times in several different places on the internet. I didn't think it was funny enough to warrant that kind of frequency :laugh:

Why do people keep thinking he's going to Minnesota?

Why would they do anything other than give McCarthy his shot?

If I had to make a prediction the Vikings QB room next year is McCarthy, Daniel Jones, and Nick Mullens/Brett Rypien.

If McCarthy isn't the starter week 1 I'd say Darnold on a short term team friendly deal, Jones, or even Stafford are all far more likely than Rodgers.

The right move

People will point to his stats as an excuse but he was garbage. Painfully slow and that locker room needs a breath of fresh air. Mr R was throwing everyone left and right under the bus and his body language was absolutely terrible on the field

Just not worth it anymore

He really wasn't. Your're just letting your personal/political view of him get in the way.

QB play didn't sink the jets last year and wasn't why they were a bad team. They had issues in virtually every single facet of the game. Jet's also led the league in drops. Rodgers put the ball on receivers many times only for them to be dropped.

Him going on Pat Macafee/podcasts and talking about non-football shit and airing out team details is annoying, and idk if it's worth it to sign him for that at this point but he did have some game left in him.

No I’m not

He’s still living with his past reputation way too much and every damm time gets all the excuses in the World

He himself went again last year on media and said how everyone needs to be 100% about winning and immediately he himself did everything not related to winning and often every single week

Anyone who watched him last season saw how painfully slow he was. He made zero last seconds game winning drives, most often those last drives ended with Rodgers taking a big sack. He was playing safe football to protect himself and not make his stats looks as bad vs playing winning football

Anyone who watched him this season saw how bad his body language was, always blaming someone else, that’s not what the best leaders do, they take the blame themselves even if/when they knew it wasn’t on them. Rodgers made it always about someone else than him. All the vibes on that Jets team were rubbish and it starts from your leadership

Rodgers sure can play some but he’s not a difference maker

I saw a stat with the Jets and Packers and they both had better stats without Rodgers than with Rodgers the last 3 years. But it’s always someone else. The Gm, the coach, the owner, the Wr, the Oline. That’s not a winning QB

Rodgers just isn’t worth the drama anymore, he carries a too big of a luggage with him. When he was winning MVP’s you could deal with it, not anymore when he’s at best top 15-20 QB in the league

No, BB was right. Rodgers' politics are well down the list of why he is poison but the guy is poison, period.

Hes not the only reason the Jets failed but he's one of the biggest reasons without a doubt.

Rodgers no longer cares about actually playing football. It's just a stage for him so that he can keep getting attention and be invited on shows to talk about himself and his views.

Rodgers ego won't allow him to make a low salary. The non rookie QB contract starters are:
Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow, Jackson, Watson, Allen, Tua, Prescott, Hurts, Goff, Love, Cousins, Carr, Mayfield, Geno Smith, Stafford, Murray.

I think each one is making $30 million plus in real money in 2025. Rodgers was due $37.5 mill from the Jets before getting cut.

With all of his baggage, would a team commit $30 mill to him in 2025? How committed is he now to learn the playbook and build that chemistry with his WR?

at the same time will his ego allow him to go out on such a shitty final season?
 
Aaron to Pittsburgh seems wrong af. It's not an organizational fit.

He could be a stopgap for a year or two until they find a younger better QB. But if forced to pick between Fields, Rodgers and Wilson I would go Fields. He's the youngest and has shown he can play in this league somewhat. Start him for a year or so, draft another QB

That is also assuming he plays ball with Tomlin and keeps his head down and doesn't make it about him. Aaron is one of the worst drama queens in the league. Signing him to an organization like Pitt who has habitually avoided attention seekers is not a right fit

They don't avoid them, they manufacture them on nearly a yearly basis, usually at the WR spot

We'll see. If they're willing to sacrifice their team philosphy to "win now"

OTA's and already drama about whether Aaron will practice :laugh: then stirred up drama about Aaron and Metcalf or Aaron and Pickens. Guy is a walking, talking attention seeker and drama queen. Pittsburgh would be smart to keep away from the limelight.
