Did Aaron Rodgers make a mistake leaving Packers, Justin Fields worth a first-rounder? | THE HERD

The Green Bay Packers got off to a cold start to the season but have been surging since their Thanksgiving win against the Detroit Lions. They now travel to the Bay Area to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round. This raises a question of whether Aaron Rodgers made a mistake leaving Green Bay for the New York Jets. Colin Cowherd explains why the QB should have thought twice before leaving a young Pack team. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears are on the clock with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and Justin Fields' future remains unclear. One NFL Draft expert believes that the Bears could receive a first-round pick in exchange for Fields. Colin breaks down why Fields is not worth a first-round pick but that Chicago should aim for a second-rounder anyway.

Didn’t Colin used to say that LaFleur wasn’t a good coach?

[@kevinkev9996]

He's wrong on just about everything.

[@kelbob00]

Well I mean when you’re a first time HC and you have an MVP top ten all time QB Aaron Rodgers as your QB..hard to judge if you’re a good coach or not while that is going on. I don’t remember what Colin said, but it’s cool you can come back with the benefit of hindsight and point out when someone who does this for a living and makes millions made a wrong assessment. Hope it made you feel better about your life.

As a packers fan, I wanted Aaron gone 2 years ago. That would have been even better but he stayed one more year and made everybody’s life difficult, including execs, players, fans, the press. This chicken race between him and the front office was draining for everybody, including Davante Adams who should have stayed but left due to the uncertainty with Aaron. Him leaving was the best thing that could have happened. We thank him for his amazing run in GB but it was time to move on. Where he ended up is not our problem anymore. Wish him well and a couple more healthy years for him to enjoy the rest of his career.

[@jimjohnson7764]

Agree 100%. Aaron became a malcontent... I'm the GM, HC, OC and QB1 all rolled into one. Lucky we got the Jets to take him and a lot of his financial burden. Aaron did give us some of the best football the NFL has seen, and we will forever be thankful for being one of the greatest to wear the Green and Gold.

[@ShimmyD-u7g]

Easy to say that now, when you have Jordan Love so far looking like the real deal and a young team that appears up and coming. What if Aaron balled out in NY this year, took the Jets to the playoffs and Jordan was a flop like he looked to be mid-season. In football sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, the Packers have been very lucky for the past 30 years and probably more (at least when it comes to QB). But you're still right though, he wanted it to be his show, with his guys, which he seems to have at the Jets. Best of luck to them next year.

[@KnettersPracticalOutdoors]

Stop Colin! You're acting like Rodgers had his choice of several good teams and picked the Jets. The reason this trade took so long was because the Jets were the only team bidding for Rodgers and they tried to low ball the Packers. Also Colin, you're also acting like this was Rodgers' choice and his choice alone to leave Green Bay. The Packers were moving on from Rodgers this year. This wasn't Aaron's choice. Rodgers wanted to got to the Niners a couple of years before after they drafted Love, but the Packers weren't interested at that time. Rodger's still might have gone to the Niners this past off season if Purdy hadn't emerged and if the Niners actually had a first round pick to trade. Just because Brady and Stafford had real good teams interested in them doesn't mean Rodgers did. You don't know that he didn't try to get to Denver two years ago either. The Packers had a winning window with Rodgers and they played it out until they felt like Rodgers wasn't doing for them and he still had trade value and Love needed to play. You always frame things to make Rodgers look like the fool, but he didn't have a ton of options. I mean why didn't you give us a list of teams he should have gone to this last off season?

[@ronaldwilson9525]

Fields is worth whatever you can get for him. Quarterback starved teams could trade a first round pick in desperation. Is he worth it? Beauty is in the eye of the general manager. The Bears hold all the cards.

I’ve always thought one of the most obvious differences between Rodgers and Brady even a decade and a half ago, was the “upstairs.” While Rodgers was flashy, bit cocky, loved to do things his way and be a bit different and challenge conventional wisdom. Brady on the other hand fit within that “Patriot way” even when Brady did leave to Tampa, sure Brady could have some cockiness as well, but he was always very smart not as flashy of a player at times, seemed like an easier person to work with as long as you could perform at a high level and be professional.

For years Green bay never backed aaron, made big splashes, or went all in to win. They seemed content with relying on Aaron and always had an eye on the future instead of what they had with Aaron. They also often had awful defenses and had mike mccarthy as a coach who didnt do aaron or the packers any favors.

Yeah the JF thing is wild to me, i dont see how hes worth a first rounder

[@clarkbowen8158]

Rodgers was given no choice, by the time he came out of the darkness, Gutey had moved on. He knew the Jets were interested so it happened. Rodgers chose the Jets because they were the only ones willing to take him. Atlanta dropped out and nobody else seriously inquired. Gutey got what he ultimately wanted, Rodgers gone. He fleeced the Jets.

This☝️

[@6769paul]

Patriots where interested thats why Bill was so PO during draft , Aaron said no to Pats.

[@jabrilyousef]

Aaron didn’t CHOOSE to leave the Packers.

[@tanksherman9875]

Colin was dead wrong about Jordan Love and dead right about Aaron Rodgers this season.

[@lehighstar474]

How bout Belichick to the Jets for a 3yr deal with Aaron

[@damianpresha9833]

No that team suck

[@austindolan7182]

because the jets have made that mistake twice already and are still waiting for bill to coach a game for them. not doin that again.

[@justdl]

Lololol a 1st round for justin field.

[@Udyman1]

What Colin is missing is the very real possibility that the coach thought Love was ready and they “nudged” him out. Didn’t want to pay the big contract and Love was frankly just a better solution for the “team”.

[@johnr2915]

Over the years I've realized Colin just hates Aaron Rodgers 🤣

[@cuttercogburn3226]

Hey this is about Justin Fields. First I would not trade him. He is very athletic, great body, I think he would make a great slot receiver. He has speed. Yes the Bears would need a new QB. Trade for I and draft one for the near future. I may be wrong but I am looking at this from a different angle.

[@heartbreak25]

I don't agree with CC much, but he nailed it by saying AR doesn't have a high football IQ. They did a study of all the players Rodgers wanted to keep that the GM released and the hit rate was like 15%. He wanted to overpay old players out of their prime just because of his personal feelings and not what made football sense. Look at AR choosing Allen Lazard and now he's a healthy scratch owed millions of dollars. He shouldn't be allowed near any front office once he retires.

[@Dre2Dee2]

Rodgers is a garbage GM, that is certain

[@ayubahmed1183]

Jets were winning games with terrible qb play com on now

[@andrewstasiuk]

Colin who cares if he didn’t get the vaccine, cmon pal😂

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

What's the alternative? Rodgers blows his Achilles with the Packers and suddenly this is a Joe Montana/Steve Young situation. Yeah, that would be a great way for Rodgers to leave Green Bay. Totally expendable.

[@TrillaDC]

Fields leads the league in 4th q picks since he got drafted. I’d be surprised if they get a mid 1st.

[@zein9227]

No, I don't think that he made a mistake nor that he had a choice. He was pretty much spent with us at the end of his tenure. I don't blame him. We had some horrendous playoff losses and he was the scapegoat for so many of them under McCarthy in which he performed at an all-time level (esp. 2012-2016) and the latter half of his tenure was with an ageing team, bad defense coaching and a lack of firepower on offense. It was time to move on for both parties. It's soon going to be time to retire for him as well. The best thing he did was to bring back Tom Clemens for Jordan who is now showing some resemblance to ARod himself (e.g. the backfoot throw into tight coverage against Dallas). The team's rejuvenated now and that's why they are doing good. The playoff inexperience of young players is a blessing at times. That's what he see right now with Green Bay or Houston. An grey wolf at QB wouldn't perform that well with guys in their 20s as a young QB would.

[@WillAsplund]

It doesn't matter if aaron wanted to stay, they were pushing him out. jordan was starting either way. He literally didn't have an option to remain in green bay as the starter.

[@RawrTalent]

Fauci knew we were going to have a pandemic

[@googleboo9876]

Aaron would STILL have been injured if he stayed in Green Bay and Jordan would still have been the qb for the season.

[@ronjepperson3457]

Fields for Max Crosby or Fields for #1 and Jimmy G . Make either Trade Now Bears !!!!

[@lemarcwhetstone6354]

Coming from the man who said for a time years that Aaron should move on. Him and his lil buddy Nick obviously have a person issue with Aaron
