Packers Are Back, Aaron is Back, and, This Blog is Back!

 So, he we go!  This old Packer Fan will do his BEST to get ready for the 2021 Packer Season!!!  First, we need to tackle the "AARON THING!"

If you did not see or hear the Aaron Rodgers Press Conference Click on this link!

Now, first, Aaron was VERY honest.  And, I think his heart is in the right place.  Problem is, the age old question, who & how are decisions made in professional sports, specifically the NFL?  First, a little background.

1 - Most teams are owned by an owner, or group of owners.  In Dallas, Jerry Jones basically is THE MAN!  The good old Bears were run for years by the Halas Family, now McCaskeys.  Rooneys, the Steelers.  Of the 32 teams, the Packers are run by the stockholders!  (I GET ONE VOTE - there are over 5 million shares!)  We have a "Executive Board" - they have a president - Mark Murphy.  He has under him, the General Manager, the Financial Manager(CAP), and the Head Coach. 

Aaron would like these people to talk to him, run ideas by him, listen to him.  MOST teams would not do this!  Aaron has said, with over 17 years of experience & his success & his leadership & serving as guest host on Jeopardy, he should be at least given a chance to suggest ideas??

2 - He was prepared, he had a long list of EX players, Jordy, Cobb, Woodson, Matthews, Hyde, Kuuuuuuuuuhn.........  The way they were treated, was NOT fair!  Aaron wasn't consulted.  Some were not offered contracts, etc.  One of the reporters had a great point, MOST of these players did not have great years when the left Green Bay.

3 - Basically, Aaron just wants to be listened to!  Before the let a player go, trim the roster, etc, check with him & get his opinion.  With free agents around the league, Aaron knows some of them, check with Aaron.

The press conference was good.  Aaron gave his honest opinion.  And, the Packers did go out and sign Randall Cobb, and gave up a 6th round draft choice for him!  They seem to be trying to offer an olive branch.  Will this satisfy Aaron??

Time will tell!  But, you know the DRAMA will continue!!!

What happens if Cobb does not make the 53 man roster???

Hang on Packer Fans!  OK, there are 89 other players trying to make this team!  Let us begin to analyze & dissect the roster!!!

Go Pack Go!
