A few days ago I made the mistake of tweeting that I wouldn’t have given Aaron Rodgers an extension, which was retweeted by a writer who is much more popular than I am. Since that time, my Twitter mentions have been a tire fire of negative comments, which is fine, because this is a point that is definitely too nuanced for Twitter.
I don’t think extending Rodgers was a catastrophically bad idea or anything of the sort, but I do think the Packers underplayed their leverage, and given that he’s been less effective and frequently injured for about four years now, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to argue against the extension.
