There are strong rumors and rumblings that the Giants will get Aaron Rodgers

[Philosophers]

I think the Jets were more in a win now mode with better overall talent than the Giants but needing a QB.  The Giants are not win now.  Rebuilding is a generous word at this point.  Stay the course with the Draft, dont give up draft capital to anyone and get a FA someone who can lead the team but not divide the team.  All Rodgers does in n upside is get Giants to like 5-12 or 6-11.  Is that worth it?  We need to be bad again next year.

My guess is now Darnold's value went up with Geno Smith trade so Seahawks aggressively pursue Darnold.

Acquiring Rodgers is a 'Win Now' move for a team that is in the 'Win Now' window.

Being realistic, our focus should be on building a perennial playoff team, not patching up a lower tier roster to squeak out a few more wins. Rodgers doesn't help this team long-term. It's a one-season move at best.

To your point, it has been reported Rodgers was a good mentor to Love and handed the reigns with dignity when the time came. Jets Hard Knocks also showed Rodgers positive with the young QBs. He became a cancer on Jets and a distraction I will fully admit that. But he wasn't that on GB.

Perhaps the Giants are definitely taking a kid QB and simply want to give a proven vet a 2 year deal to help mold the kid

I dont think Rodgers needs to go out of his way with a young QB and befriend him but sharing some nuggets of info plus listening to how Rodgers processes what he sees would be really valuable

I think this is possible and it has crossed my mind as well.

I also think it's possible that he'll be less of a diva (ie less demanding about who the OC is, what free agents are brought in, etc) on the Giants than he was on the Jets. Maybe he just wants to play for another year. He bought a house in Jersey and may feel like he has another year or two in him.

To be clear, I'm not really advocating for him. I think he'll cost more than he'll be worth, and he can definitely be a pain in the neck. But if we're drafting someone like a McCord, Howard, or Ewers on day two, and we want the young QB to sit out the 2025 season and develop while watching/learning from one of the all time greats, then there may be something to that.

How does Daniel Jones leaving the Vikes mean Rodgers goes there? Why wouldn't they just keep Darnold then!

That said, let that circus head to Minny. Just take fields or Winston.

If Darnold goes to the Seahawks, the Vikings will need a proven QB.  Jones may not be the best, but he is proven and the HC of Minny is a supporter of his.  If Jones leaves, the Vikings will need a QB.  Rodgers would no doubt prefer to play for a contender like Minnie than the Giants.

Makes sense but the caveat I didn't realize u til it was pointed out today is he bought a home in NJ. He may really enjoy the tri state area.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

Proven? Proven? Like in Proven he may not, what?

Who gives a crap for whom Rodgers would prefer to play as long as it isn't the Giants?

Talk about guessing where and in what Schoen/Daboll/Mara will put our wet fingers for us. Right now, not knowing might not be such a bad thing especially when we consider how our minds seem to work.

Cheers!

None of McCord, Howard, or Ewers are remotely worth the 2nd pick in the 2nd round. I wouldn't even take any of them with the top pick in the third round.

There is next to no talent difference among that group - plus Shough and Cook - and at least 2 of them will still be available in round 4.

Rodgers can prefer till the cows come home .but at 41...few takers except maybe our heroes...not surprising .

The Giants are totally dysfunctional and hopeless in their approach..they simply should have blown everything up..start to draft great players..not need guys to save jobs perceptually

Rich,

While this may well be correct, I don't know about the "no doubt" part. I think we can agree that Rodgers is a bit of a strange guy (I realize you and others may use a less flattering adjective), and winning another SB may not be the only factor in his thinking. In a press conference I heard him say his two years with the Jets were the best two years of his life. I found that bizarre, but he did say it. So who knows what his exact priorities are.

Strange for sure as well as bizarre, both of which go a long way in describing Rodgers, something which has become evident only in the past few years. It nice to think that his 2 years with the Jets were the "best of his life" Let's just hope that he doesn't get a chance to put that to a test with the Giants.

Cheers!

I think this is debatable. My opinion, Rodgers has plenty in the tank and he would come with a chip. Maybe it's not popular but I'll go on record and say with him we make the Wild Card at least.

Regarding the debate is he the best by far, two minutes left today do u have more faith in Rodgers or Cousins?....Cousins makes it look easy at times

Cousin has notoriously tanked in the playoffs and he's not currently available.
