-
Schefty.
-
How should we be viewing errands Future in Green Bay Right now?
-
Listen, when he's playing at the level he is, there's nothing to view.
-
He's there, he's the quarterback.
-
You're gonna move on from a quarterback who's the best player in the league right now, who's playing at an M V P level who maybe never has played better than he has at this particular point in time.
-
So again, it's fun to talk about.
-
It's fun toe Wonder about They drafted Jordan Lump, but they've got an NFC championship game here on Sunday.
-
He's trying to build on the legacy that he's already created in Green Bay.
-
Why is his future even a topic right now?
-
Like, what's the idea of that?
-
What am I missing?
-
I will tell you why.
-
Because I have.
-
I found a tough to picture that Aaron Rodgers is going to sit there and say, Oh, sure, you guys drafted my replacement.
-
I'm going to just play as long as I continue.
-
As you guys continue to want me here and then figure out my future when you decide that I've served my purpose, he said.
-
Beautiful mystery yesterday.
-
I think those areas.
-
Interesting words.
-
Well, it's it's well, said I as a wordsmith, a man who used to work in newspapers for 16 years.
-
I wish I could have crafted a story.
-
Come up with words is nice.
-
Is Aaron Rodgers so he can play quarterback better than me?
-
Come up with words better than me?
-
I'm insulted.
-
I'm quitting.
-
That's it.
-
I e o let me come to you because you and I have been talking about this for what feels like forever now that Aaron Rodgers was gonna go on a scorched earth tour, motivated, at least in part, by what he perceived, all of us perceived to be the Packers preparing to move on from him.
-
So how do you see it and where do you think it goes?
-
Yeah, we were all kind of up in arms because they didn't get him any help in we all.
-
Many of us thought, based on their stats from last year, that they were going to regress.
-
They are back where they were last year with a 13 and three record back in this game and Aaron Rodgers playing much better than he even played last season.
-
So yes, I think that we're probably making a lot out of a little bit with this beautiful mystery thing.
-
But I do think is interesting that he's gonna be looking across the field at Tom Brady, who was a guy who we thought would never leave the team that he was on.
-
But the difference in that situation was Tom Brady felt like they weren't helping him out.
-
It felt like he was there alone.
-
It felt like he didn't have a chance to win.
-
It's hard to see Aaron Rodgers, who obviously cares about his legacy.
-
It's hard to see him moving on or them moving on from him.
-
A.
-
Zilong as everybody in the situation is producing and getting back to championship level games, which they are right now.
-
And I suspect they will be for years to come because it doesn't feel like his game is gonna fall off anytime soon.
-
So maybe Jordan loves to be the one who is talking about how his future is a beautiful mystery, because I don't think there's anything mysterious about what they're gonna do with Aaron Rodgers.
-
If he keeps playing like this, that's fair enough.
-
So, Louis, now you're the person in charge there.
-
How are you dealing with that?
-
Like you?
-
You've got an asset there in Jordan.
-
Love that.
-
You used the first round pick on.
-
We all understand how these contracts work and decisions you have to make about the future.
-
How are you viewing it?
-
Yeah, Look, right now I think I'm taking I'm thinking the Adam Schefter approach, and I'm just going I There's nothing to dio.
-
There's just nothing to do.
-
Jordan.
-
Hey, get comfortable, Get comfortable.
-
Make sure your hat fits real good, you know, make sure you're comfortable.
-
Your pads air good.
-
Make sure you have uncomfortable shoes because you're gonna be spending a lot of time walking up and down the sideline.
-
You know, making sure you stretch out your knees and stuff like that is your back starts getting tight and all that from watching Aaron play?
-
Because I'll tell you this.
-
This guy from the time we talked to him when we did the Monday night game early in the season against the Falcons, we talked him in those production calls.
-
This guy is in a zone right now.
-
He's a very deep thinker.
-
Ah, very analytical thinker.
-
You know, a very philosophical thinker, someone who really analyzes the big picture as well as the little picture.
-
And he went back to the drawing board man this offseason and he got down.
-
He got down the work with Matt LaFleur about how Doe I take my game to the next level in your offense.
-
Teach me something I don't know, so I could go to another level.
-
He's on a mission.
-
Look, he went on to score scorched earth or whatever you wanna call it.
-
And the reasons why he laid the foundation for that the this last off season, and I just don't see that changing.
-
He is in a zone, man.
-
He's in a zone.
-
So, Jordan, love, just get comfy on the phone.
-
Some of them old man Skechers.
-
Whatever it is that you wear that will help out your back in your knees because you're gonna be standing a lot a lot ahead.
-
Schefty sec.
-
Louis, You just flip the whole segment around.
-
So the segment should have actually been Jordan loves future is a beautiful mystery bear.
-
Not so.
-
It's probably not as interesting to most people as it is, and I will just say Beware the scorned lover.
-
I say keep a nigh on this thing I'm telling you right now, not this week.
-
Obviously.
-
Please, Greedy Stop!
-
You're gonna make Adam quit.
-
Don't make Adam quit again.
-
This company cannot withstand aloft Schefter, so please change.
-
Greeny is greeny.
-
Don't get your hopes up.
-
It's gonna be a new segment on the show.
-
Schefty Green, Don't get your hopes up.
