Thoughts after watching those Wednesday media sessions:
Aaron Rodgers and Brian Gutekunst painted very different pictures of the culture and atmosphere of the franchise. Rodgers depicted the front office as a heartless, cold-blooded machine that treats its aging players without respect or appreciation. He added that the reason players want to come to Green Bay was for the opportunity to play with him. Asked if every personnel move the team makes will now be a distraction, Rodgers replied no, because he doesn’t expect to be involved in those decisions. In other words, he doesn’t expect the culture to change, though he did say that he would always be optimistic.
