Packers want more leaders after locker room 'wasn't the best' last season

Maybe convincing Julius Peppers to re-sign with us instead of wanting a swan song with the Panthers?

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers' broken collarbone exposed so many shortcomings -- and became a catalyst for myriad organizational changes -- that it's easy to forget another place where things went awry: the locker room.

The Green Bay Packers lost more than just their two-time NFL MVP quarterback.

They lost their leader -- the player everyone in the football-shaped changing room at Lambeau Field looks to for guidance, support, approval and even inspirational messages (see R-E-L-A-X and "run the table").

"They did a good job to stick together, [but] we're a little bit spoiled," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said recently. "We have high expectations of our locker room, it's been so strong for so many years. In comparison to the other 11 years [of McCarthy's tenure], it wasn't the best, clearly.

Locker room is going to be even worse after BG made it public they weren't planning on asking Rodgers to be team friendly with his contract. You can't expect everyone in house to take less for the right to play with Rodgers and be a contender every year then tell them you won't ask Rodgers to do the same. Idiotic

Winning takes care of all that.
Just as losing destroys a locker room.

You don’t see many happy faces in Cleveland, do you???

I found this link below, but I didn't see anything to get upset about. Other than the annoying assclown request "close your ad blocker" garbage.

EDIT: Okay, I misread what you said. I thought you said Brian G ASKED Rodgers to take a team friendly deal, or would ask. Geez, it's in black and white and still I get confused.

Did losing Aaron expose a leadership problem or the fact that when a team knew the season was done and were just going through the motions trying not to get hurt? It appeared that at least one "star" player gave up to me (HHCD).

I love Daniels. I am surprised he does not have the ability to rally the guys. He seems like the perfect player to put a stop to any BS in the lockeroom. Same with Bahk for the O.

Last season was lost when Aaron Rodgers got hurt.
The team saw it had no QB in Hundley.
That MAY have caused the team to “give up”. As professionals that are getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to play a game, that should NEVER happen, but it does.
Some players I believe did not quit, but if even s small portion of players do quit, you won’t win much.
