Quoted from TheLaw:So Florio & Silver can't have an opinion on Rodgers...I'll just keep this list here for later perps
Lol, fair. I honestly can't remember which one is which, but I do think they both make their living off of claiming Rodgers is overrated, getting traded, or a bad teammate.
The fact that there is a living to be made certainly says something, but I think a lot of it is overblown. I really don't buy into the idea that he hates MLFs system... he's the MVP.
I do think that he clashes with Mark Murphy. He shook up the hierarchy that made the GM and HC positions so attractive. I'm pretty convinced he wants sustainability more than titles. Russ Ball is also still involved in the decisions (Murphy almost made him GM). That guy is ultra conservative, and really focused on bottomline stuff. Those two (and their newly inflated positions) likely played a big role in our quiet trade deadline. The rumor was that some parties wanted a move to be done. It was either MLF, or MLF and Gutey.
Rodgers certainly has a reason to be pissed with a generational WR draft class left untouched. Could you imagine if we have traded up for Justin Jefferson instead?
At the same time, he needs to understand his bitchy attitude really isn't going to move the needle.
