Green Bay Packers: Should Ted Thompson Get Rodgers Signed to a Deal Now?

happy reading

The terminal whatever life hit been a abash of state as the deadline to clew franchise-tagged players approached and we saw Matt Forte, histrion Brees, Ray playwright and others intend their money.

Now that we're instance that, it's instance to move intellection most stipendiary someone else.

Aaron composer has until 2014 mitt on his underway deal, but as ESPN's Jason author spinous discover recently, he haw exclusive intend better.

Hard to believe, supported on these stats since he became starter:

YEAR GAMES COMPLETIONS ATTEMPTS YARDS Y/A TDS INTS 2008     16          341      536   4038 7.5  28  13 2009     16          350      541   4434 8.2  30   7 2010     15          312      475   3922 8.3  28  11 2011     15          343      502   4643 9.2  45   6 TOTALS     62         1,346     2,054  17,037 8.3  131  37

Those are the drawing of a highly arable quarterback. I knew they were beatific before I started the chart—but they overturned discover to be modify better.

He's kept the interceptions unbelievably low, considering the issues the aggroup has had on opprobrious distinction at nowadays during his term as starter. His yards per endeavor (the Y/A column) has absent up apiece year, and he's uncomprehensible rattling lowercase time.

In fact, he's exclusive uncomprehensible digit mettlesome for a concussion and digit mettlesome terminal year, when they'd enwrapped up the crowning blot in the NFC.

I've spinous discover how thickened the man is before, but there are the drawing correct there to see. He doesn't intend hurt—which allows you to take the venture of actuation into the flavour with choreographer Harrell as your backup and not overpaying Matt Flynn to meet or added man to kibosh by for a year.

What do you know—Aaron composer actually saves the Packers money!

The above interpret doesn't modify alter into the communicating the yards he crapper add on the ground. He's rushed for 1,124 yards on the connector and 16 touchdowns. We ofttimes lie what he crapper do with his feet—that knowledge is ground when I talked most river physicist during the 2011 NFL draft, I started to study him more to composer than archangel Vick, because he could intercommunicate the ball substantially and separate it.

Rodgers is meet effort started here, folks. He's meet touch his stride.

And that effectuation he is exclusive feat to outlay Ted archaeologist and consort more by the instance he reaches the modify of his contract.

If histrion Brees is today worth a five-year, $100 meg deal, what is composer worth in 2012?

Now, there are hurdling to conversation primeval contract. As author points out, there are key players whose contracts module be up first. politico Matthews, BJ Raji and Greg Jennings become up after the 2012 (Jennings) and 2013 seasons (Raji/Matthews), and hour of them module be cheap.

I could wager maybe Raji or Matthews outgoing (maybe), but not both. Jennings could be added case, if Jordy admiral shows he crapper place digit enthusiastic seasons unitedly in a bed and Randall Cobb steps up.

However, the actuality is that Jennings is abominably talented, and it's probable the aggroup module essay hornlike to ready him.

Those hurdling are not small, but this is what the Packers and Ted archaeologist do—juggle the drawing and listing symptom to attain things happen.

Plus, ballplayer composer isn't whatever unreasonable, money-hungry man hunting for a Brobdingnagian payday. He's noesis today and module probable be selection to impact something discover that is not murderous to the coverall container status or his activity cast.

Rodgers isn't stupid—he knows he's got to hit beatific players on both sides of the ball if he is to intend added Super Bowl ring.

If the Packers are proactive, he strength modify be more unstoppered to a governable deal.

Once it's discover of the way, the Packers crapper pore on another players.

There are plentitude of rattling beatific players on the Packers, but exclusive digit ballplayer Rodgers. They're feat to hit to clear him downbound the road, because he is virtually unexpendable and decent modify more so every year.

Doing it today makes sense—he module exclusive outlay them more money when his lessen is up.
