Hmmmm..... Well considering Rodgers is the guy that disowned his entire FREAKING family I'm guessing he needed extra attention.... The packers front office didn't read the user manual that clearly stated that their Corvette needed to be waxed and polished weekly....
On the other hand, he isn't the only elite-QB to want/expect influence over roster construction (PManning and Brady got it & Russell Wilson is making a similar push in Seattle) and everyone saw how well it worked last year in Tampa. And Packers GMs don't exactly have a lot of credibility pushing back on this issue as they have drafted pretty poorly the last 5 years or so. I really have no idea WTF Gute was thinking in moving up to take Jordan Love in the 1st round last year. That was really stupid--A) it was guaranteed to piss off AR, especially cuz it was such a surprise, B) Jordan Love wasn't worth that kind of capital (QBs of his ilk are available on Day 2 every year just like Mond and Mills this yr), and C) even if the pick was "good", it was easily 2 years too soon. The latter point virtually assured there'd be a "QB controversy".
Two choices here: either placate Rodgers which assures your 1st round pick was a massive waste OR move on from him no later than a year from now.
