True. Also wouldn't consider keeping people in the loop to be "empathy".. Rogers would likely try to veto the pick and then if that failed he would have gotten pissed off. All these NFL QBs have a huge ego. They need it to do their job.I don’t but what the author is selling, that keeping Rodgers “in the loop” would have made any difference on that fateful night of the 2020 draft.
Rodgers is the type who goes out of his way to be pissy. He was going to pissy at the Love selection no matter what.
When you think about it like that - GB management action seems understandable. Are they going to run every decision by every player in an 'empathetic" world? Does your RT get to know you are drafting another RT? If not, why not? Are you playing favorites? How would that work with team morale.
Likewise those contracts like Rodney Harrison and Dillon were not empathetic. They were bets. They were betting hey in our system you will be productive again especially if signed at a nice price. If they didn't think that - they wouldn't sign them at all. Nothing to do with empathy.. If it was empathy they would give a contract to some homeless guy across the street.
Its weird they put so much time and effort into a suspect premise. It's well written and took a ton of time. But seems pretty suspect. I can only guess they have some weird ulterior motive - presumably to get people to use more empathy? Not sure - I don't get it.
