How long do we have to put up with this "Aaron Rodgers to the 49ers" garbage? Because it is, garbage. We have a QB that has taken us to the NFC Championship Game twice in three years.

Why? I don't want Aaron Rodgers, but that's besides the point. Why would the 49ers be interested in a QB that cannot win the big games, has proven it time and again, and is now on the downside of what has been a good career? This doesn't make any sense for the 49ers. It doesn't deliver anything. It just gives pundits something to scream about.
Aaron Rodgers can stay in Green Bay and choke up a few more big game losses before his career is done. Thank you.
I don't get it. He's going to Denver and I wont even let myself get even kinda excited at the idea about ARod coming to the Bay.
I think Aaron has had terrible luck and been let down by the team around him a few times. For example, this year! STs let him down. If STs made the field goal and didnt get a punt blocked, Packers win. Last year, if LaFleur went for the TD and not the FG, Packers probably win. The year Kap completely dominated the Packers D and Rodgers did all he could on offense to try and keep up. But dont get me wrong, some years the Packers lost because Rodgers couldnt score enough points. But if his team didnt let him down, I think Rodgers probably has 3 rings in 2022.
I would love Rodgers on this team in 2022. We would be unbeatable. With our system, he could sit back and let the run game do its thing. Protect the ball. Make the needed throws. Perform a comeback drive if needed. BUT, i think its foolish because of it would take to get him here. We dont have the draft capital and Packers would know that they are guaranteeing their biggest rival to be dominant for the next 2-3 years. No way it happens. The only way it would happen is if the Packers and Rodgers negotiate a release that results in no dead money for the Packers and Rodgers is free to join any team he wants and that team wont have to surrender any draft capital.
Rodgers wants to win SBs to cement himself as a top QB in history. He knows that the 49ers is the best place to do it. Everyone is talking about the Broncos and I think that is silly. He would have to wait at least a year for them to get up to championship caliber. They dont even have a HC right now. Rodgers doesnt want to waste a year. He wants a sure deal. 49ers have one of the best HCs in the league, healthy cap space, great receivers, top running game, and arguably the top defense in the league. Plus we have the ability to make a vacancy at the QB position. Lance can sit down another two years and learn.
Other than the 49ers, I think Steelers make the most sense. Great HC, great running game and top 5 defense. Young receivers and probably have the cash to add Davante Adams too.
