Did Packers just give Aaron Rodgers the Josh Rosen treatment?

Aaron Rodgers may have gotten the Josh Rosen treatment from the Green Bay Packers’ brass.

At this time, Aaron Rodgers has no reason to trust Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst anymore because he may have just inadvertently given him the Josh Rosen treatment.

It was not that long ago when the Arizona Cardinals said 2018 first-round pick Rosen was their guy. As it turns out, that was a total lie. Rosen was traded to the Miami Dolphins after one season with the franchise. Arizona drafted Kyler Murray No. 1 out of Oklahoma in 2019, and the rest is history. Should we believe anything Gutekunst says anymore after stating, “Aaron’s our guy”?

If Rodgers was your guy, then why did you trade up to draft a project quarterback like Jordan Love out of Utah State in the first place?

Green Bay Packers: Did Aaron Rodgers just get the Josh Rosen treatment?

Okay, let’s pump the brakes here. When I think of what the Josh Rosen treatment is, I refer to it as a team drafting quarterbacks in back-to-back first rounds, not necessarily someone saying “he’s our guy” in a pre-draft presser. The only team who could give their signal-caller the proverbial Josh Rosen treatment this year is Rosen’s former employer in the Dolphins with Tua Tagovailoa.

What this comes down to is really simple: Gutekunst is talking out the side of his neck. You do not trade up to draft a quarterback, developmental project or not, and then backtrack the following draft process and say the current starter is our guy for the foreseeable future. This is a microcosm of why the Packers have lost four straight NFC Championship games with Rodgers under center.

Simply put, the Green Bay front office has way too much power. This is a major downside to not having a traditional owner. Guys like Gutekunst and the late Ted Thompson before him can pretty much do whatever they want without consequence in Green Bay. If the Packers don’t draft a wide receiver at No. 29 this year, Rodgers should seriously push for getting the Jeopardy! gig full-time.

This may not be the quintessential Josh Rosen treatment, but man, the Packers are maddening.
