Add Aaron Rodgers to the list of QBs for Saints? (2 Viewers)

[Saint Greg]

That bit them in the butt this year didn’t it. Could of had another offensive weapon. Their WR core was weak

Packers actually did this when farve was QB. Rodgers road the bench for years. Paid off later with the SB win

It’s way worse though. Rodgers was considered a potential #1 overall pick and fell all the way to the packers in the 20’s. He was the only player left they had a 1st round grade on. They took BPA. In this case they traded up for Jordan Love. Totally different.

I respect this take, but whom do you think he would prefer as HC, that doesn’t already have a QB.

Rumor is Jets and Dolphins are his top two choices.

The Saints have a Ferrari sitting in the garage that's just begging for the right driver.

As Underhill has already shown, there is no QB the Saints can’t sign this off season if there’s a deal to be made.

I haven’t read the Underhill article, and I know he’s advocated for Stafford, but that Stafford deal is a good deal and $10MM/yr+ less than Rodgers cap hit. I just don’t see how we could afford it given what we have to do already just to get under the cap. We have a lot of dead money to contend with and manage around these next few years. I don’t see how this is possible without gutting the roster significantly

Not wanting Aaron Rodgers is pretty petty and poorly thought.

Both taken in the first round. Both quarterbacks?

“Totally different”

Definitely not. Both taken for the same reason. To build later in the future.

We could do a whole lot worse than following Brees with Rodgers.

I watch the Pat McAffee show sometimes and Rodgers is on there every week. To me he’s a very likable guy. He’s opinionated, yeah, but he’s thoughtful and intelligent and has self-awareness.

If Rodgers goes anywhere (which he won’t) then he’ll go to San Fran. He wanted too be drafted their originally and San Fran are in the market for a QB. They’ll mutually be interested in making a move and they’re in a far better position than us to do so. However, he will stay in GB.

Many had Rodgers going #1 overall. He fell all the way to the 20’s. He was the only player the packers had remaining graded as a 1st round pick. They had to take him. And it was a great pick. Love they gave up more picks to trade up and he wasn’t considered a top 5 overall pick by anyone. If you disagree, fine. It’s two totally different situations to me.

You don’t think Watson would jump at the chance to be taken out of the game multiple times so Taysom could come in and do his thing?

I think most QBs would want to play for Payton. For whatever reason Watson’s short list is defensive head coaches.

Aaron Rodgers’ postgame comments a message to Packers brass that organizational mentality must change

After losing in the NFC title game for the second straight year, Aaron Rodgers' postgame comments were aimed at Packers decision-makers. The message? Change the mentality or perhaps it could be time for the generational QB to move on, Michael Silver write

Read that and I think AR12 could want out.

This wasn’t anything to do with Stafford. I won’t post the entire article bc it’s a site you have to subscribe to. On his site he broke down how we could easily get under the cap and at the end he said the following

And that last statement indicates that it would make more sense to trade for a QB then to sign one as a FA. Trading for one could keep the 2021 cap hit with the trading team making it easier to deal with the Brees cap hit. It could get very interesting. We would stay a contender and more than likely be picked to battle it out with TB for the NFC.

This is real life, not madden. 0% chance that happens.

0? It's not impossible.
