Hard to know exactly what Stroud means without more elaboration than what we get from a twitter post. I’d guess it means a couple things: Stroud was and maybe still is a Rams fan and that Stroud sees himself as playing more like Stafford than Rodgers.

Without guessing, all i can say is that people are talking about Rodgers as if his career is over and that people outside Wisconsin don’t necessarily see Rodgers as “the most talented QB ever” or even as the best or most talented of his era.

The number 1 reciever is the reciever who is open. That is the way to run a football team. It is best to have 5 WRs that can line up anywhere and run all the route trees. I am glad to see the Vikings have to pay JJ that much money. JJ is good but I do not see any player other than a QB counting that much against the cap.

They need to get rid of one of the kickers. They are using 3 percent of the roster on one position that we should have only 1 player. We know it will be Carlson so keep Joseph and put him on the PS later.

"CJ Stroud is evidently a big Matthew Stafford fan, saying he thinks Stafford would have won a few more Super Bowls with teams Aaron Rodgers failed to do so with."

Stroud also said Eli Manning had a better career than Rodgers. If you base it entirely on Superbowl's I suppose that's true. Hey, I don't agree and the kid is entitled to his opinion. But he sure is doing A LOT of talking after just one season. Hey CJ...Remember Carson Wentz? He had ONE great season just like you have had and then fell off the face of the planet as far as QB play. You might want to shut-up a minute and see what happens with your own career first.

Players like this make me appreciate Jordan Love all the more. Love is just focusing on his team and getting better. He's not on a podcast ranking QB's. Stroud saying this made the Texans at the Jets in week 9 MUST see TV. Something tells me that Jets D is going to meet at the QB (Stroud) more than once that night.

Receivers are being paid and now the 9ers paid a running back. Looks like we're heading to 7 on 7 football for 18 game seasons. I really don't think this is on the players as much as it's on the agents trying to one up each other. A game within the game.

CJ should talk to Justin Fields about giving anyone, let alone Rodgers, bulletin board material. He may have won only as many SBs as Stafford, but he knows how to own teams including the one Stafford was on. Rodgers just set up in a new real-estate market.

Love will walk into TC with his newly announced contract. It’s “the Packer way.”

Rodgers padded his stats for Rodgers’ personal gain, not to win games. That garbage began shortly after he threw Greg Jennings under the bus, and went into overdrive after Jordy went to the Raiders. His publicly stated goal every season was to “win the MVP.” Stroud is not wrong IMO.

Al, how about, BO MELTON? We’ll see, but, he came into GB with the goods. Strong. Fast. Hands. QB’s Best Friend…

Tannenbaum is not wrong either, IMO. Been on that train for a while too.

I don't want to think about what happens in a couple years when the Packers have to make decisions about second contracts for Chistian Watson and Romeo Doubs. That could even happen after this year if one of them has a big season and is looking for a new deal. The Packers have four starting caliber wide receivers (Watson, Doubs, Reed, and Wicks) and two more (Melton and Heath) who are looking really good too. Something has to give. For now, I'm just going to enjoy this season. We don't know exactly how it's going to work out.

If MVS and Lazard can make 10 mil a year.
Anyone can. So I doubt Gute pays them.
He'll pay a TE first.

I wouldn't pay Love yet. Seriously-
I pointed to Joe Gibbs winning SBs
with 3 different qbs.
Love's contract should not be decided
by some godlike power. He's human.
And speaking of plans .
We've seen the best, can go astray.

Spreading the ball around receivers is one way of holding down the possibility of having a WR 1 with gaudy numbers requiring a big contract. If the contracts are evenly and fairly compensated maybe someone isn’t going to bolt to get the bag elsewhere. A definite maybe.

The Halloween Thursday Night game between the Jets and Texans looks like must see tv.

My take on Stroud is you talk WAY TOO MUCH for a first year player. Could 3 or less years you may be a back up. Takes a season or so to figure to defend newbees and then see what happens. Best to be humble in this game for a while into the future especially at QB position.

The salary cap is the great equalizer. The Packers have diligently and urgently climbed out of Cap Hades and did so by drafting well, going young, filling up the position rooms with young competitors & experienced team leaders/captains.

They have also had the courage to say good bye to expensive, popular, productive vets. They now have a window to invest cap in their next franchise QB and fortify both lines, what I believe is so important.

I also believe in the "Wolf Way". Ron said after arriving in Green Bay his Championship Vision was to find an outstanding QB and surround him with a top Defense.

Packers under Wolf, Ted and Brian have acquired solid D talent. Fritz Schumer was a great DC. Since then, the D coaching has been mediocre at best. If the Packers have finally solved this with Hafley and his staff, I believe the "Wolf Way"...QB & D...will have the Packers the talk of the '24 season.

"Well, wide receivers are getting PAID, aren't they? Ten NFL WRs are now making more than $24M per year with Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, AJ Brown, and Tyreek Hill all averaging over $30M/yr. Anyone still worried about the Packers not having a true WR1? While probably not intentional, spreading the snaps among a bunch of really good receivers could save the Packers from having to dish out crazy WR contracts in the future."

I like this strategy, however to maintain this they really need to keep drafting WR's higher. Next year with Watson and Doubs entering their final years of contracts they should really look to draft a WR in the 2nd-3rd round area.

"Bo knows football "
I think Bo has a major breakout season. When he started to get playing time you could tell his confidence was very high. And he appears to be continuing that. I think his speed will be on display this year.

While I think Bo is going to break out, I also think each of the other 4 WR's are going to have big years. The one guy that I don't feel as good about is Heath. He is going to have a battle this training camp. I have penciled in Watson, Doubs, Reed, Wicks, Melton ahead of him.

You wont believe this proposed CJ Stroud for Jordan Love trade!

I guarantee he might have??

Sounds like something Stockholder would say.

As one who stuck with Jordan Love when it was widely believed he was a flop, I'm more than a little concerned now that it's widely believed he will be a superstar.
I'm hopeful Love will become a star, maybe even a superstar -- but after only a half a season of success, I'm not ready to pay him anything he wants. Also, he had one great playoff game, but in the other he threw two terrible interceptions in crunch time.
I'd go up to an average of $50 million per year over six years for $300 million. That would include this season, in which Love is due about $13 million.
Otherwise, I'd trade Love for the best deal we can get, and go with Clifford and Pratt.
Really.
***
That may seem radical, and I truly hope we don't lose Love.
However, a big part of that is up to him.
This all relates to Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre and Bart Starr, and Vince Lombardi, and winning Super Bowls.
To paraphrase Lombardi, championships are won in the hearts of men under leaders who win their hearts.
That's why the Packers under Lombardi and Starr won an unprecedented and subsequently unmatched five championships in seven seasons -- including three in a row -- after Lombardi took over a team that was a laughingstock the prior season at 1-10-1.
That's why -- in reverse -- Rodgers and Favre fizzled after their early success. They didn't win the hearts of their teammates because they were too much about themselves.
That's why Love has to take a little less to allow his teammates to have a lot more. Love has to leave room to sign other top players needed to win championships (which Matt Stafford didn't have with the Lions); Love also has to allow salary cap space for his teammates to share in the wealth.
This would show Love to be the leader we want to win more Super Bowls for the Packers. He would still be fabulously wealthy, but by making a sacrifice he would win the hearts of his teammates (as well as endearing himself to fans).
As Lombardi said, "Men respond to leadership in a most remarkable way and once you have won his heart, he will follow you anywhere."
That's the way to bring glory back to Green Bay.

When C. J. Stroud wins a Super Bowl, then maybe he can talk about that sort of thing.

Did anyone actually listen to the podcast? The question came out of nowhere, made him choose between 2 extremes and Stroud responded off the cuff and moved on. It's not as though he had a vendetta against Rodger's career.

Re: guys getting 'paid' I am not onboard with these gaudy contracts for the select few. It causes jealousy, undermining of the team and is more about cut-throat agents . I think Aaron Jones was a casualty of an agent likely in his ear about 'big money = respect'.

This is not an individual sport-for example, running backs are as valuable to the team, in a different way, as are WR's.
IMO, QBs are way overpaid. Certainly Goff, Watson, nor Cousins should be paid those exorbitant figures. Love has played 8 good games. He does not have the body of work to justify a max contract. If he is the good guy we think he is, I would hope he agrees to an incentivised contract. He should not be receiving a majority guaranteed $$ contract-not yet.

Whatever Stroud happened to say as a 22 y/o new QB was the result of being caught off-guard. It was a polarizing, stupid question on a slow news-day.

Rodgers (age 40) has actually, arrogantly made many more reckless, damaging comments about public health matters over which he is vastly under-qualified and has not lost one 1 minute of sleep.
