"More Diss" - America's favorite Dystopian pastime 2022-2023

ah yeah makes sense choking increasing weirdness and lack of focus thx

as you point out there were earlier signs that he was a dumbass but i still cant believe that he went on podcasts just to reveal what a dodo he is, and hes still doing lmao he was on a podcast just yesterday whining about the media

he had a real mystique for a while as the smart alt qb lol

somehow podcasts are an even more absurd way to ruin your image than posting on social media which is how most athletes do it, like you cant even figure out how to post you need someone to ask you questions to fuck things up

that SI story was pretty illuminating, just running through the gamut of ways Rodgers was weirdly petty and unforgiving. there's a bit in there about Rodgers telling the guys on the other team covering Greg Jennings "you should pick him up next year" since his contract was up. its a very specific thing and I think someone even found the video in the broadcast where it happens, and it would be so easy for him to just say "yeah I was joking around, of course we wanted to keep him" he just denies the whole thing happened and just goes "he hates me for no reason". very Trumpy behavior all around.

I know it's probably nothing but I always wondered what exactly it was that caused this guy to fall so far in the 2005 draft. I used to watch a bunch of the ESPN shows back then and I remember a lot of the talk about Aaron Rodgers vs. Alex Smith, and I am pretty sure the consensus was that while Smith may have been more of a "sure thing" Rodgers had way more upside and was definitely the guy you wanted if you were a rebuilding franchise. Plus he was from Cali so everyone wanted the 49ers to draft him. Not only did they not draft him but three quarters of the league passed on him as well. I've never seen anything like that before, usually when theres a franchise QB debate those guys always go 1-2 or 1-3. I wonder if there was some story about him back then that was causing all these teams to get cold feet.

tbf it was probably something absurd like ‘he’s too smart’

yeah but he’s totally gonna turn things around and lead the jets to the promised land (winning 1 playoff game)

The thing w Rodgers’ family was iirc at the time played off like his family was a weird bunch and he had to do it but now it seems like maybe they’re the sane ones. Comparatively speaking. I assume any family that raised this dude is not totally normal.

like so many dudes, he just should have kept his mouth shut and could have remained "enigmatic" instead of an un-enigmatic dumbass

The most “enigmatic” guy I knew got very un-enigmatic around the time he left L.A. and Trump became president. He turned from boring and quiet to boring and fascist pretty quickly.

one last thing for someone loves to go on and on about the power of manifestation and affirmation he sure as hell has lost a lot of playoff games as a solid favorite

I feel like after he won his title, he switched off

Like the board description during his Super Bowl win against the Steelers was "Gay 4 Aaron Rodgers".

He went from untouchable to disappearing in crucial moments

Packers were a bit like Mannings Colts where they were the best in NFL in November and then would with have injuries or let foot off accelerator for last few weeks and come in with bad game to open playoffs.

I feel like after he won his title, he switched off

idk about that, I mean the year after he had probably one of the greatest seasons a QB's ever had. even with a crappy defense everyone thought they might go 19-0 because they were scoring touchdowns on every possession

Rodgers just has this thing where he's super good but I think once you solve the Packers' gameplan he doesn't really have the ability to figure out where the openings are. In fact he's remarkably stubborn sometimes. That's why he has a lot of really insane 1st halves but by the 2nd its like "dont look now but he's still not over 300 yards". even during the SB year this was a problem, they'd come out and wallop teams and build the kind of lead that seemed insurmountable yet somehow the opposing team would always seem to have a chance to win it in the end. We kept saying this is gonna come back to bite them in the ass. Compare to Tom Brady who seems to be the opposite, no matter what you do the guy figures out a way to at least make it close in the end

basically with his arsenal of weapons and ability yet failure to win in the end, coupled with the terrible ideas he gets in his head because he spends to much time listening to the wrong people and alienating everyone around him and his tendency to hang out huddled up in dark chambers, he’s the closest thing the nfl has to saruman.

snyder selling the team, never thought i'd see the day

HATCATs worth 6 big ones, which is cray cray. I'm sure that is enough money for Snyder to do plenty of other evil shit for the rest of his life.

Aaaaand the Rodgers trade to the Jets is a done deal, finally. I'm not sure I'll hate the Packers as much with Love as QB. We shall see.

Aaron Rodgers walked past the one Super Bowl trophy in the Jets building and said, “it looked a little lonely.” https://t.co/QeGBWrRGca
