Especially the AFCW where he'll struggle to even get a wildcard [Reply]

Packers already have a crap QB. Why would they want another limited QB who costs all that money?
Also, the 49ers have crap draft picks. And they don't have as many to offer as the other teams do. Packers aren't going to accept just anything. [Reply]

I'd be fine with Rodgers if he comes as an FA, like Manning did. I'm not interested in mortgaging our future for him, though. [Reply]
I really dislike the Broncos. Their fans seem to think the team has some sort of great legacy. It doesn’t. Here is their legacy:
1. Thin air advantage.
2. Cheating on and off the field.
3. ALWAYS coveting somebody else’s star QB.
4. John Elway (a product of #3).
5. Shitty arrogant self-entitled fans.
I’m never surprised by how low that franchise can go. [Reply]
The Donkos are just trying to re-invent the Peyton Manning wheel. They're convinced that if they can just get Rodgers there, they can return to their 2011-2015 winning ways. Three problems with that:
1. They're gonna take up a significant chunk of their cap trading for Rodgers, limiting their ability to do other things that they need, unless they renegotiate his 2 year deal.
2. It's gonna hurt, draft pick wise, to get him here. Green Bay is not just gonna give away the league MVP for nothing.
3. And this is the most significant part: Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert reside in this division. He'll be competing 4x yearly with 2 of the Top 5 QB's in football. Something he never had to do in the perenially weak NFC North. He may compete for a division title, but he's more likely looking at a Wild Card spot, at best. And we all know how Rodgers typically fairs in the playoffs . . . . . .
So that's it.
If Denver wants to trade away a bunch of picks and commit a bunch of money to a 39 year old QB that has proven he can't get it done in the post-season, by all means, go right ahead. It might make our games with them a little more interesting and they might actually end the 7 year winless streak against us at some point, but ultimately they won't be adding any more hardware to their trophy case so does it really matter?
I don't think it's going to happen, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if it did.
So whatever. Bring it on, Aaron. We'd be happy to play the State Farm Bowl twice a year. [Reply]

The difference between Peyton Manning and Rodgers as far as the donks goes is huge. Peyton was going against the likes of Matt Cassel and Alex Smith early with Andy Reid. The Raiders had washed up Carson Palmer and rookie Derek Carr. The Bolts had Phyllis. Now, it's Mahomes, experienced Carr, and Herbert. I'd love to have Rodgers in the division , but he will be the third best QB in the division at best. [Reply]
The main difference is that the Broncos didn’t have to give up shit for Manning. Hard to surround Rodgers with a team when you have to give up a bunch of top picks and young talent to get him. [Reply]
