why would we have even wanted him? he’s the reason rodgers has 1 ring lol

He is the reason the Packers have Aaron Rodgers.

Also, he had a successful tenure as GM with the Squawks before coming back to GB.

Considering he has as many SB rings as your entire franchise, why wouldn't you have wanted him lol

Probably for the same reason the Packers dumped him

because the bears are a terribly run organization and only winning one super bowl with the most talented QB of all time is embarrassing

How did we get that QB? Why would being the best franchise (other than the cheatriots) in football over his tenure be embarrassing?

Because our standard is higher then the standard of your entire modern history?

Why wouldn't you want a GM who could double your rings and get you the first good QB you ever had lol.

If the packer were the best team during his tenure why didn't they keep him?

Because our standard is so high that second best doesnt cut it.

You so realize it isnt debatable that the Packers were the second best franchise in all of football over the course of the Rodgers era right? This isn't something that can really be denied, only the Seahawks come close, and their GM was a Thompson underling.

wasn’t able to find anything. family probably wants to keep that private.

He wasn't dumped. He left the Packers because he was diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction, or dysautonomia. I assume this is what contributed to his death.
