I'll Go First
Apologize if this has already been thrown out there, Aaron Rodgers is Minnesota's Starting QB in 2021.
Crazy? Meh. Le-Idiot and Not Old Enough to Shave GM appear to have some sort of indestructible force field that prevents them from getting shitcanned for how incompetent they are. They clearly don't think Rodgers is the right fit for whatever the hell it is that they want to do.
Aaron will play off script again, cuz he's a Prima Donna and hates what the organization has done with his career. This time they don't luck into a great record. The media feasts. Aaron poutes. He needs out. They want him out.
Meanwhile, Minnesota predictably misses the Playoffs. Call it a Rebuild (me). Call it Retooling (You). Call it 1 Step back to take 2 steps forward (Geoff). Replacing 7 Starters, no matter how shitty, with Rookie, 2nd and 3rd Year Players is tough. And several Players that saw snaps in most or every game. Hell, the turnover is going to really challenge the Special Teams as the bare minimum.
Season doesn't pan out quite right. Cousins is typical Cousins. The W/L stats for the bugaboo crap like Teams over .500, Prime Time Games etc., pretty much stays the same. And think the big Escape Clause with Kirk is next year, IIRC.
Rodgers wants out. He respects Zimmer's Defense. Sees a young O-Line turning into what he used to have. Sees echoes of Nelson and Adams in the Receivers Corps. Sees how well Kubiak orchestrates run and pass. And helped Manning get his 2nd Trophy.
Might Aaron look to force his way to the Vikings? Might he be looking to enact revenge AND echo Favre's footsteps, knowing it will lead to like 400 commercials? Might the arrogant idiots running the Packers go for it?
If, if, if, if it were all possible. And Rodgers still has something left in the tank, which is plausible since he clearly hates the system he's in now. Would you do it?
Imma duck now. Talk amongst yourselves.
I
DONT
CARE.
I grew ip watching the ‘70s Vikings.
GB was always garbage. They only played HALF their games at the great Lambeau field, because no one in Wisconsin wanted to drive there. The rest played in Milwaukee.
In the words of John Randle “The Packers are nothing, just a bunch of cheese and shit, dont mean nothing”
Favre always loved playing the game.
Rodgers is a first class douche bag, whose family cant even stand him.
I wouldnt piss on Rodgers if he was on fire

Nate Stanley 2021. I can feel it. He'll be known as 'Baby Ben' but without the raping.
:p
I think Stanley is Josh Allen without the athleticism.

All kidding aside, I think it'll still be ol' Kirk behind center in 2021.
I enjoyed Favre playing here. I’m not sure I could handle Erin and his constant crying.
Stanley and Josh Allen have a lot of similarities...inaccurate downfield, strong arm, and good runners. People forget Stanley ran a 4.7 at the combine and when he did scramble at Iowa, he was very effective. The frustrating part was that only occurred every 4 games. Nate had a lot of weapons this past year but constantly missed easy throws and it drove me nuts. He's better than Mannion, but that isn't much of a feat, and I hope he's never a started for us as I see him being a career backup.

I prefer Stanley to Browning as the team's developmental #3. That's all I can say for sure.

He lost his top 3 receivers from 2018 (Easley, Hockenson, and Fant) and Brandon Smith missed 5 games. Doesn't excuse the missed throws, which is why he lasted to #244. I'm glad we picked him because I have realistic expectations for him: a backup with a legit arm that understands a pro system.
@"RS Express" said:I just posted in another thread that I watched video on Stanley for the first time and came away liking what I saw. He's big, underrated a little athletically and that arm is very nice. I see upside, IMO.@"Hawkvike25" said: Stanley and Josh Allen have a lot of similarities...inaccurate downfield, strong arm, and good runners.

I cant believe Rogers is only going to play in GB 2 more seasons...Way to good for that.
I was fine with Favre when the rumor mill was working overtime that spring/summer, and I was great with Favre as he led us on the most fun season I've had watching Minnesota since '98. Thank you Favre!
But Rodgers... idk. I legitimately can't stand that guy. If I had a crystal ball and knew he could help us win a Super Bowl then yes I'd do it. But literally anything short of that and I'd pass on him. With Favre I can look back fondly on the '09 season even though it hurts and I still hate the Saints. But if we had a similar season with Rodgers I think I'd try my best to erase it from my memory. I'm just not a fan.
I want the Vikings to find an elite QB bad. But maybe not quite THAT bad.
@"Viking1987" said: nope he will be a. bear
Good point that if he wants to PO the management and fans, he goes to Chicago, a bigger Packer rival than Minnesota.
I don't think this happens, despite the delicious irony of it. Favre wanted to play with Darrel Beville and maybe even Childress, but I don't see that kind of connection with the current Vikings staff. Sure, a lot can happen in a year, but I think Spielman and Zimmer are tied to Cousins' success.
To be clear, I'm not advocating for it. I happen to like Cousins. But the whole Brady to 9ers thing had me thinking about what would happen if an Elite QB who is eroding but still had gas in the tank came to Minnesota, a team close to being a serious contender.
Rodgers didn't cross my mind until the Packers appeared to literally orchestrate their Draft in a manner seemingly designed to drive him out of town. Going to the Bears or 9ers would absolutely suck if he's still got 2-3 more good years left, though.
