If a discussion about UFOs breaks out I will be banned inside of one microsecond so I decline to participate. Let alone any of the other topics Rodgers' discusses.

The only thing I'm going to say is that as an interviewee I find Rodgers to be massively entertaining. I enjoyed the hell out of his Joe Rogan appearance too.

That is all.

Given Mr. Rodgers' recent behaviour it would seem the only thing higher than "the high-altitude objects the U.S. has downed over the past week" is him! (And that isn't a comment on whether he's right or wrong in what he said on the McAfee show.)

I've said it before, but I find him incredibly interesting. Not in either a good/bad way, but just in a curious way.

LOL Rodgers clearly thinks that the government can fool the population of the entire interconnected information world as easily as he looks off a safety. Um... no.

Rodger's performance last season was about exactly what should have been expected, based on his prior performance in seasons without Getsy by his side. Correlation without causation? Looks to me like Getsy had a big impact on him. He was there and AR was better. Then he left and AR looked like he was going downhill. Then he returned and AR looked resurgent. Then last year he reverted to non-Getsy stats.

Somebody's taken too many hard sacks.





Or not enough.

Getsy was a big loss, but I think both Hackett and Adams leaving had a lot to do with it too.

I'm hoping the Packers hold onto him wanting more than a team will give them and then Rodgers says 'screw it, I'll just retire."

He's gone, Packers get nothing for him.

Or, after no one give them what they want he either gets knocked out the first play of the year or when the Bears play him.

I dont think Getsy really had anything to do with Rodgers in the grand scheme of things

I can attest to this on a smaller scale.

I’m into floating tanks where I sit in total darkness for an hour or longer.

No music. Nothing. Totally naked. Complete darkness. No I’m not high or under the influence of anything at all.

I’ve had visions in there which usually take the form of a purple dragon communicating with me.

One time we stood on the shores of an orange creamsicle lava lake underground and just talked about stuff. Another time we toured the solar system and I just watched Jupiter rotate in its orbit.

The trick is that you have to go in there with your mind totally blank.

All of you should do this. You come out of the experience as if somebody hit the Reset button on your mind.

Tell that purple dragon SOB to stop overhyping Roquon

I hope he'll walk away from GB and scratch that show-business itch he's had. Get him off the field but keep him around for laughs.

I hope he enjoys his isolation so much that he makes it a permanent thing :thumbsup:

For this past year maybe - but the pattern extends back through previous Getsy departures and re-joins and is remarkably similar to this past year. Just an observation.

Rodgers retiring is absolute best case scenario

Packers get nothing for him (noted above) and thats one more team that didnt wind up with Rodgers that needs a QB

Shots fired!

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2 ... -scrutiny/

“If he is that sensitive that he gets upset that people, reporters, opinion-makers, influencers, whoever, want to talk about him, he is going to struggle in New York,” Barber said, via SI.com. “And I don’t know if it’s the right fit for him. I don’t know if I want him in New York if this is going to be his reaction to things that don’t matter.”

Barber echoed a point that was made here, after Rodgers ranted that Rapoport and Schefter “don’t know shit” about him.

“If Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want people talking about him, talking about his offseason, talking about his personal life, talking about all these things that are going on with Aaron Rodgers, he needs to stop talking,” Barber said.

“When you go, and you do something that feels odd to normal society — which is going to sit in a cabin in the woods for four days in complete sensory isolation, [the media is] gonna talk about it. You have to. It’s our job to. And for him to get offended by that, he’s not going to handle the intensity of the New York mediascape — that’s obviously traditional media, social and everything else — if he’s here.”

Amen to all of that. Rodgers is like so many athletes and celebrities who want fame and attention on their own terms. All the praise, with none of the criticism.

Hey everybody, look at me . . . what the hell are you looking at?

Maybe I read this wrong, but he's going to spend 4 days in total darkness. So how is he going to find his way to the bathroom and take care of normal bodily functions in total darkness?

The cherry on top

There is also a scenario where Jordan Love looks just competent enough that they both can't move on from him after next year - go like 8-9 so they only get a so-so pick - and Love ultimately isn't the guy but it becomes a longer time frame to learn that

It's going to be weird having to want the Packers to thread that needle. Them going like 2-15 rather than 7-10 is actually a worse outcome.

Wait, why does it fuck with their cap"? Don't they get immediate cap relief if he retires?

Sorry forgot to copy the link:
The Packers would have $40,313,570 of dead money, a salary cap charge for a player no longer on the roster, with Rodgers retiring. The dead money would consist of $32.640 million in roster bonus proration and the $7,673,570 of 2023 bonus proration that already existed before Rodgers' new deal.

It acts like a Cut in terms of moving up the Pro-rated Bonus hits basically
