Rogers Unhappy?
-
I love rogers the player but dont care for the 'big baby crap" and mangini cant tell me he didnt see rogers at the awards thats not even possible..if he wants out of cleveland we should be able to get a first round pick and part of his bonus covered in hindsight we should have tagged him...mankok claims they want to build from the draft so grab raji at #5 and matthews with rogers pick...trade emo butterfingers edwards for a low first and aquire a WR with it..this me first emo crap is a cancer and mankok needs to stamp it out at any cost...we arent going anywhere this year anyways so why not start to really rebuild a potential winner from this situation?
With FA starting friday and mankok moving "intentionally" in slow motion the best we will get from it is plug in scraps of cousins quality..

Why would we tag Rogers, he's under contract.
Edwards is really the only receiver we have. You can't just trade him and gamble on a rookie. I know you're frustrated but damn!

considering i didn't like this hire in the first place, mangini's gonna turn me into ghoolie if this is how his regime is gonna go. you can't piss off your best players in a domineering attempt to exert your authority and expect to have any success.

I get where you're coming from, JD, but didn't we WANT a coach who would "exert [his] authority" over our dysfunctional crew of me-first cry-babies?
And at the very first, relatively benign signal that Mangini is going to be the HEAD COACH and not the BEST FRIEND, now you're siding with the me-first crybabies?
Not me, man. I honestly do not give one rat's ace what any of the players thinks of Mangini and I'm sure he doesn't either.
Mangini's attitude seems to be "be a man and be a professional and take care of your business and we'll get along just fine." He doesn't seem to want to be any player's friend and he doesn't seem to care about the personal relationships AT THIS POINT. He may eventually care about the player's that get him and his program but he doesn't seem to prioritize ego over business.
Which, frankly, is my personal leadership style preference too. Expecting men to be men and not act like little girls is a plus in my book.
Rogers seems to be acting like a teenage girl who didn't get the attention she wanted from the cute new guy.
Except, he's a very large man crying about a smaller-but-still-large man not talking to him which is even girlier.

Rodgers is one player out of 22 starters who played for one year in Cleveland. He can be pissed for all I care. He can quit. Really his attitude is not needed.

I don't see this story on Espn, etc...
if it's true, I figure Rodgers wanted to play for a black head coach, and is po'd that
Crennel was fired.
Which, if that's true, would explain why Rodgers didn't go up to Mangini and introduce himself.
Mangini, to Rodgers, perhaps, is the wrong color?
Maybe Mangini can trade Rodgers to the Jets for their NT and a second round pick.
Or, this story isn't really legit and was made up by a reporter from Pittifulburg looking for drama.
My hunch is, Mangini would have been the bad guy to Rodgers, if the story is true, even if Mangini had gone
up to him and tried to have a great conversation.
-
ditch his ass and pick up haynesworth!
-
-
No doubt, get Haynesworth and say goodbye to this guy if that's what he wants. Just make sure you get value for him. The stupid ass media has just lowered his trade value for us.
Mangini is a d--k, there's no question. But we need to try our hand at this with a d--k in charge. We had a p-ssy in charge for the last 4 years and where did it get us?
I'd rather have a d--k running the team than a p--sy anyday. Who's with me!

First, at this point it is much to do about nothing. It is not about being snubbed, it is about a friend of Rogers being asked to take a pay cut or he will be released and another friend who is a UFA not getting a contract offer. It's normal BS.

i disagree with none of what you've said. i think it's a leader's job to outline their plan to their followers before executing it, which it doesn't seem like mangini has done.
good leaders are open to communication in addition to having and executing a well-thought-out vision that leaves no room for ego.
-
Good point JD....But rogers whining like a f-king prima donna is maddening. "he didn't say hi to me waaaaaaa" holy fk, shut the fk up and play. I can't believe this dude isn't a 6th grade school girl.
I do agree with good leadership outlining and communicating vision. I thought it a mistake not to gather everyone together first thing and outline and communicate it....disagree with the I'll meet individualy with these players one on one and " when I get to it" stooopid

Excellent points and I agree with you on this too.
But it was FEBRUARY when Mangini "dissed" Rogers. He hasn't seen most of the players and hasn't had an opportunity to outline anything to anyone yet. He said he would do that starting in March when the team begins to come together for OTAs and he begins his one-on-ones with players. What Rogers is upset about is that he didn't get special treatment, is what it sounds like.
Look, I'm not defending Mangini if he actually snubbed Rogers, as in he avoided him or walked the other way on him or turned his back on him. But nobody is saying that's what happened. What we know is that they were at the same event and may or may not have been in the same room. A "room" can be a ballroom or a dressing room and we don't know which it was, so the facts are a bit sketchy, right?
But from the sound of it, Rogers has his panties bunched because Mangini didn't go OUT OF HIS WAY to introduce himself.
And if that's truly the case? Then Rogers is a girl and Mangini has my full support because I don't think any head coach needs to bow at the feet of any player, even if he could eat him. (Take that either way, it still works.)

I don't even think Rogers has his panties in a bunch, I think this whole story was fabricated.

And Rogers' agent hasn't denied any of it which he would certainly do if someone was out there trying to make his giant-man client sound like a little girl.
