I really don't get what you're trying to prove there, especially given the Packers had Rodgers, Adams, Bahktari, and Jones locked up long term.

1. There's actually some legitimate defensive talent there

2. There's also decent investment into the offensive side of the ball

Sure, there's a couple glaring misses but that's every GMs draft profile ever. Nowhere near enough to justify the constant shit Rodgers throws his way all because Gute didn't bother letting him know they were going elsewhere at QB

Seriously, what would telling him have even achieved. He would've still been just as petulant and petty about it. If he wanted a better relationship with Gute, maybe don't come at him with salt and vinegar energy.

I still don't get how he's the asshole for expecting what other QBs in his spot get?

Yeah, you're still running with that narrative, and it's still bullshit. Rodgers coming into the office and being petulant that the Packers aren't signing or retaining his washed up buddies (which he explicitly admitted to during one of his McAfee appearances) is incomparable to the productive and positive relationship the Chiefs and Mahomes have.

If Rodgers wanted a relationship like that, it's kind.of a two way thing. And no, the Jets catering to his every whim to appease him is not what other QBs in his spot get. It's an organization in desperation mode trying to keep a known brat happy.

As many 1st/2nd round picks as they used on defense, you'd really think GB's defense would've been consistently better than it's been over the last 5-6 years. Maybe that's coaching more than talent available, idk. Whatever, that defense really never rose to the level of their drafts.


But you'd think that they'd have wanted to draft a WR in the 1st round at some point.

I think part of the problem is that he's just an asshole to begin with.

Certainly not the only celebrity athlete in that category, but it makes things harder.

For having thirty years of Favre/Rodgers HOF QB, GB doesn't have as much to show for it as they probably should.

No doubt they could have drafted better. But drafting a QB in the first round really seemed to light a fire in Rodgers. I don't know if he has the season he did otherwise.
