  • 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.
