I can't help but wonder if san Frans move up to 3 really was for a rookie QB or as ammo for a trade if it materialized,  with the rookie qb as the fall back plan.  Honestly is Lance worth what the niners gave up?

@"jargomcfargo" said: The GM is in a bad spot. Trading Rodgers would likely cast the Packers into the oblivion of being non-competitive for years and perhaps decades to come. That will cost him his job.

If he plays hardball, his only realistic choice, and Rodgers stays home or retires, he also loses his job.

If Rodgers shows up and they mend fences, so be it.

I've never seen a GM of a 13-3 team, who but for one questionable decision by the head coach in the NFC championship game which may have cost them the superbowl, on the hot seat like this. He just as well resign.

I think Rodgers stays and the GM goes.


If the GM leaves this looks really bad for the organization and Rodgers. He would have had a hand in a coach getting fired and a GM resigning.
Who would want to play for such a team or be part of such and organization?

 I'd absolutely do my part, and "tune-in" to help, and watch the Packer Franchise get bent over........

on national TV?

during  primetime?,

5 nights a week...........?  

Then on Sundays ,  we'd all get to see if Love gets wrecked.

I'm big on Lance's potential but unless he turns out to be ELITE-- no.
They traded 3 firsts and a third to move up to 3 when they probably could've gotten Mac Jones at 12, or moved up 1-2 spots (maybe one third?) and gotten Fields.
John Lynch is well regarded but he better hope Lance turns out to be the real deal, or fans will turn. They have no first the next 2 years.

thats exactly my thinking,  Lance is a nice prospect, but IMO is so far from a top tier pick that I have been wondering since the rogers shit came out if they made that move to amass the quality type of pick that it would take to move that needle and maybe had some other pieces ready to push a trade for rogers over the top.

When the trade didnt pan out IMO the scramble began for who they were actually going to select and that became evident in the days leading up to the draft.

The Packers would save $16 million in 2021 cap space by waiting until after June 1 to deal Rodgers. In a year where the cap is quite tight because of the COVID reduction, that's a pretty big deal.And if firing Gutekunst is a prerequisite to Rodgers considering staying in Green Bay, one can't imagine that decision will be made quickly or lightly. He has overseen the construction of rosters that have led to back-to-back 13-win seasons and NFC title game appearances.
While it could be argued that finding a new GM is easier than replacing a Hall of Fame QB, the Packers already have Rodgers' successor on their 53-man roster in Jordan Love.
In any event, it sets up a fascinating power struggle — one that doesn't figure to be resolved for several weeks, and one that figures to leave some in the Packers organization upset no matter what.
If you're a Vikings fan, there's really only one thing to do: Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.

Ex-Packers fullback John Kuhn: Aaron Rodgers 'conflicted' about future in Green Bay

"I will say he's conflicted because this man loves to play the game of football, this man loves to be a Green Bay Packer," Kuhn said. "He's watched friends leave. He's watched Brett Favre's career toward the end. He's watched all these things play out in front of his eyes. He's taken notes throughout his entire career. He's seen some situations that didn't feel were done or finished the way that they could or should have, and he's just trying to take his own destiny within his own hands.
"To that effect, I actually admire him, because not many players within the NFL have that opportunity. I sure as heck didn't. I played until everybody told me, 'You can't play anymore,' and it's a humbling feeling. Aaron Rodgers has an opportunity to take a little bit of that power back."
But as for a relationship beyond repair, Kuhn said "absolutely not," noting he still believes there's an opportunity for resolution. When asked what percentage likelihood he put on Rodgers back with the Packers in 2021, he estimated somewhere between 70 and 75 percent.
"It's going to take two men that are dug in right now and trying to meet in the middle somewhere where they're both happy," Kuhn said referring to Rodgers and Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Yahoo! Sports report over the weekend indicated that one of Rodgers' primary asks was Gutenkunst's firing. Gutekunst told reporters that he had not heard that request made directly from Rodgers, and Kuhn said he doubted that edict was something Rodgers would have tried to hand down.
"I really don't think Aaron is that cynical of a person," Kuhn said. "No matter what differences they have, I go back to the Mike McCarthy era. There was differences in philosophies there. That came to a point where the differences in philosophies started playing itself out on the field. That's why Mike ended up being the one that got canned and is down in Dallas now. That wasn't necessarily Aaron doing anything to Mike McCarthy, because there were differences in philosophies played out long before that point in time. He's proven to the Packers brass ... just because he has differences with the head coach or general manager or anybody else, it doesn't necessarily affect his play or professionalism."
Then, there's this last bit of optimism.
“Ultimately at the end of the day, I truly believe Aaron wants to come back to Green Bay, but he doesn’t want to do it on a lame-duck contract," Kuhn said. "Even though there's three years on his contract, if you really look at the terms of it, it pretty much sets up for a clean break at the end of the 2021 season for the Packers (and) himself, considering that Jordan Love is on a rookie salary.  I think he wants more insurance that he’s going to be a long-term starting quarterback option for the Green Bay Packers, and that I believe is something that would intrigue him into making amends with the team and come back this season.
“I believe he thinks that right now is his best chance, at the age of 37, to try and ensure that his career in Green Bay does get to 40,” Kuhn said. He's said multiple times on several different outlets that he plans to play into his 40s and he really wants to do it in Green Bay. I don't see that feeling from him having changed, and I believe that's still the main goal of him, and sometimes it takes drastic measures to get to those spots."
James Jones offers similar sentimentsFormer Packers receiver James Jones, himself a recipient of more than 350 receptions in a Green Bay uniform — many thrown by Rodgers — offered similar sentiments of optimism on the NFL Network on Thursday.
"It's not about getting the GM fired, it's not about a new contract, it's all about making sure that you're putting the team in the best situation to win some championships," Jones said.

signed a 4 year extension in 2018 when he still had 2 years left on his previous contract--now is fishing for another extension with 3 years left on current contract---so if I get this right he was only mollified for 3 years of the 6 year  deal before not feeling the love---pretty much like his personal life Danica gone---what 6 or so  months and already engaged to new beard
