So here is an article about the death of Ted Thompson, right before last year's NFC Championship Game. Thompson's career in the NFL is set forth and it pretty much shows that whenever Ted Thompson was around, the Packers were great. Ted Thompson also helped the Seahawks to become a Super Bowl team the few years he was away. Thompson became the Packers GM in the 2005 offseason in which he drafted Aaron Rodgers.
This idea that the Packers front office was not well run is bullshit and the reason there is such a great mismatch between what a lot of Packers fans think and the yakkety yak on ESPN, FS1 and NFL Network is that Packers fans have read articles like this one, where Rodgers praises Ted Thompson and laments his early death and quotes his advice. the idea that Rodgers would go out of his way to publicly humiliate Ted Thompson's successor, Brian Gutekunst, looks even more interesting after reading this article. I think it is about time that someone on the yakkety-yak shows got the nerve to do something other than be a Rodgers sycophant. ‘I hugged him, and I told him I loved him': How Aaron Rodgers said goodbye to Ted Thompson |

Well this opt out option just killed what little hope Donk fans had...as I said earlier, Packer brass arent going to trade him.
That would switch the blame to them if Love tanks...and Rodgers makes his new team successful. Now if Rodgers wants...he can make $11+ million doing nothing. He gets the blame...Packers front office can say "we tried, we cant make him play". He's not going to sit out...they'll kiss and make up. Watson owes him some $$$ for taking the media attention off of his situation...convenient timing for the League. |

Rodgers has moved into 1st place as the biggest drama queen quarterback in NFL history.
He finally surpassed Favre at something. |

Rodgers has literally said nothing this offseason. It's all been media speculation. And yet some dumbasses are getting worked up like he has a daily podcast talking shit on the Packers.

Rodgers also has weighed-in in ways that would get attention. The media has run away with the story, but Rodgers is participating in the attention seeking and trying to humiliate the Packers management and has created a situation where his teammates can't speak freely. |

The overwhelming "shut up and do what you're told, employee" mindset is dumbfounding. Imagine if Pat Mahomes was not showing up to OTAs because his GM was Scott Pioli, would he be a diva douche trying to seek attention?

A lot more people than Aaron Rodgers are affected by this. He’s disrupting and possibly destroying a great opportunity to win a championship for a team and coaching staff that is probably very hungry for it after the way last season ended.

^^^ Lol Rodgers won MVP last year - not interested in the game anymore?
I would love to see Chiefs fans tell Mahomes that all he does is throw a football. |

He was ultra motivated last year for obvious reasons. The last few years prior were pretty average, and he appeared to be nearly checked out at the end of the 2019 season. Which is why they drafted Love.
