This is the 4th Goodbye Rodgers today. You can say Tom is taking this break up hard.

As a Jets fan, I hope we can do you guys proud by having a good season and not letting Aaron waste away on our Roster. This video still made me sad. Best of luck with Love, Tom.

I was 15 years old when Aaron became the starter for the Packers. I turn 30 tomorrow. Half my life I have been able to watch Aaron be the face of the franchise and bring us a Lombardi. Nothing but love and respect for #12! Thank you Aaron for an amazing 15 years!

Aaron is a complicated fella. His performance on the football field is unreal. What hasn't been mentioned is his charity off the field. His contributions to the MAC foundation are absolutely remarkable. Truly a gentleman and a genius. Best of luck Aaron.

Even as a Chiefs fan I got sad A-rod won't be a Packer anymore... He is truly one of the best ever and I got really used to seeing him in green and yellow 😢😢

My first real memory of the Packers is watching them winning super bowl 45 with my grandpa, who was also a die-hard fan. Rodgers is the only QB that I have known for this team, he was drafted months before I was born. Since then, I have been devoted to the team. Thanks Aaron, it was fun watching you in green and gold.

You said it perfectly for all Packers fans. Rationally thinking, it was Rodgers time to move on but emotionally, it’s hard to see him go. He gave us so much, I wish that we could’ve got one more ring for him

Tom’s emotions in this video hit me because it’s exactly what I’m feeling. Bittersweet but it feels like it’s time and it’s time to see what we have in Love. Thank you Aaron for everything

Been a packers fan my whole life and honestly I'm excited to see what Jordan love brings to the table . I love rodgers and always will I wish him nothing but the best!!

The end made me tear up a little. As a Chiefs fan, even I will find it weird to not see Aaron in a Packers uniform. Wishing him all the best, and wishing your Packers all the best. Thanks for all your hard work making videos, you're the best!

I don't blame him for leaving though; the packers screwed him over time and time again, especially during his prime years. I started to notice it after bad calls with McCarthy that Rodgers and him got into arguments about (like the Seahawks vs GB game that went into overtime because of the dumb 4th and 1 calls by mccarthy), not giving him a wide receiver year after year, and trading Jordy Nelson, I was like "nobody on this team has AR's back". I hope it's better this way for him. You can tell he struggled a lot deciding to leave GB

Thank you Aaron Rodgers this has been a helluva 15 year run and am so glad you were a Green Bay Packer. Thanks again and best of luck with the Jets.

Tom, you are the epitome of a true Packer fan. In the same way that you're grateful for everything Rodgers has done for our team and our state, we are grateful for you. We're grateful for all the hard work and for this awesome channel you run. You not only bring us laughter, but you're the level head a lot of fans need. Thanks for everything. As always, Go Pack Go. 🧀

Aaron has to do what's right for Aaron. Packers have to do what's right for the Packers. No guff from this long time fan. I've gotten to see two Super Bowl wins in the past thirty years, and that's more than the Lions, Bears and Vikings put together. Aaron has given us some amazing games. I can only thank him and offer him my good will going forward.

You know it's hard on someone when they make 5 videos about the same thing, I feel so bad for you Tom, hopefully Jordan Love will be a great quaterback!

Love your stuff Tom. When the trade becomes final and everything settles and is left to breath, you'll have to do videos on the Top 10 wins and losses of the Rodgers Era. You've alluded to them over the years but it would be nice to have them presented all at once. Thanks again for all your hard work.

I was 13 when Brett went to the Jets I'm not going to lie, I wasn't all that excited about what a future with Aaron Rodgers would look like. He ended up being everything I could have hoped for and more. We feel very similar about the situation. Eternally grateful.

I was working late when the Packers played the Lions in 2015 and got to watch the hail mary live while on the phone working with a colleague who just so happened to be a Lions fan. He didn't have the game on and as the catch was made all I could say was "I am sorry." I will forever have that memory.

As a Bears fan I’m in jubilation that Rodgers is leaving but also I will always appreciate watching this man be the example of excellence. Though its not a popular opinion that will always be the goat of qbs in my mind. Congratulations on a tremendous Packers career Aaron.

Damn it's gonna be hard to watch a Packers game without A Aaron

Even though I'm a Vikings fan, I feel for yah, its gotta be heart wrenching at times. Always loved the competition between us. Even though the media hypes the Bears and Packers rivalry since it's so historic, I personally think the Packers and Vikings rivalry has been way more intense/heated over the last 10 years or so. As a purple incarnation of Satan fan, wishing A Rod the best in New Jersey!

As a Jets fan I have nothing but respect for the Packers organization and fans in GB I remember this past season when we played each other I saw a lot of Jets fans who were in attendance at Lambeau talk about how it was such a great environment and how welcoming Packers fans were and how much fun it was! As a NYer and life long Yankees fan the closest I came to a situation like this was when Jeter left and he didn’t even go to another team he just retired and that was really hard so I couldn’t even imagine how you guys feel I know it has to be really tough assuming the trade goes through I know he will be embraced here and I know we can’t replace you guys in GB and the history you all have but he will be welcomed with open arms and appreciated Rodgers was always one of those guys I know myself and a lot of other Jets fans admired from afar and we always wanted to have a franchise QB like him so to potentially have him on our team feels surreal even if it’s just for a short stint as I’m sure you guys are well aware we have been suffering over here for decades and growing up in a household of Giants fans being literally the only Jets fan there was hell for me in my childhood lol just want to finish off saying not only for our sake but for Packers nation I hope we do some big things and he makes you guys proud again over there wishing you guys nothing the best going forward regardless of what happens

From one Packers fan to another. It was time, we as a team grew complacent. That 15 win season was the worst thing to happen to this organization psychologically in the past decade. Now all that's left from 45 is Crosby. Even if we suck for 30 years, it was lovely having 2 generational qbs on our team back to back. Now it's time to move on and shake things up. Accept that maybe we could try and spend in free agency and hope we draft well. For all you NFL fans out there, us Packer fans are ready and willing to take the lumps

as a Bears fan " I showed up to my biggest haters funeral today just to make sure that he was dead" energy today. I will not miss that man one bit.

As a Vikings fan you'll see him back in a year with us.

You can Tell how much Tom Appreciated Aaron Rodgers❤

I will never forget Aaron Rodgers in green may. The memo are hitting hard

I hope the jets use him well

#12 made me love the packers and turned me into the fan I am today. Thank you Aaron for all the joy you have given us Packer fans

Unfortunately I was only 3 when we won it all in the 2010-2011 season. So I will never have the memory of Aaron running the table and getting a ring, I will however be eternally grateful for his time as our QB. I think it isn't up for debate that he was the best Packers QB of all time. He willed not great teams to playoff runs. Even last season, did it ever feel like we were truly out of it until the Kerbey Joseph int? Even though I didn't get to witness a Superbowl, I thank you Aaron for all of the amazing years you had as our franchise quarterback. I will say I shed a tear or two when I heard the news today. I have never known a world without him as our guy. So this is completely new territory for me. It doesn't help that my dad is a Vikings fan so you know he has to get his licks in. I'm excited, but incredibly nervous and anxious for this next season. Here's hoping to another decade of exceptional QB play. We will miss you Aaron, go win a ring for us, ok? 🥲

As a Seahawks fan, I'm glad I got the opportunity to watch AR12 duel against the Seahawks back in the day. Usually when our 2 teams played against each other it was a shootout. So thank you AR12, from a Seahawks fan

I'm so sad that Aaron Rodgers is leaving and I will be cheering for him when he plays New York this season, but I can't wait to see what Jordan love can do for this football team this year and I really do think we might have another generational quarterback on our team 😏

I'm in high school. I was in kindergarten when the packers won the Super Bowl. Never really affected me. I watched the 2015 Hail Mary against the cardinals in a hotel room late at night. I stayed up late watching the one against the Lions, and we can't forget the one to Cobb in the Wildcard. I watched the Jared Cook toe-drag to knock off the Cowboys, and I remember during those winning seasons, how I would rewatch highlights of previous games just at awe of what my team was able to do. Through that time I became a packer fan, but more importantly a AR12 fan. I will be rooting him on as a Jets(packers) fan, and as Tom said, unless they are playing each other, I will root for both teams to win the Super Bowl. All I want to see is Aaron Rodgers hold that trophy up one last time.

DUDE!!!! 97 SUPER BOWL AGAINST THE BRONCOS WAS THR FIRST EVER FOOTBALL GAME I EVER WATCHED!! My grandpa told me to pick a team and I picked green and gold and never once turned back

As a lions fan, I would try to be snarky about taking th NFC north now, but I'm too sad about losing Jamaal to try.

Bruh In a pats fan and this makes me almost tear up. Tom was the Pats QB even before I was born so when I saw him go I understood what you feel.

Damn Tom, I saw this coming and didn't think it would hit me as hard as it is. I can see how much it means to you as well. I know this is how things where supposed to go, but it still hurts alot, Rodgers was the reason I fell in love with football, I started watching in 2007, but didn't really get into it until that 2009 season. Im going to miss yelling at 12 on my tv screen, or talking about the amazing things we got to watch him do every sunday in green and gold. You bet your ass I will be there for his retirement ceremony at Lambeau when it happens. Thank you for putting the words of most of the fans into your videos. Fantastic work!

I wished 12 could’ve retired with us 💔 he was loyal to the team but the front office wanted to move on 🤦🏽‍♂️

The rest of the NFC North fans be like: I'VE WAITED FOR THIS VERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!

I’m both so curious and terrified to see how the AFC East is going to be next year. It’s going to be a crazy ride!

Hi Tom, I’m currently 19 yo. I ironically have a similar love story with the packers like you. Growing up in chicago, I was surrounded by bears fans and when I was 6 I remember watching the 2010 NFC championship and remember BJ Rajis pick 6 to seal the game. From then on I was in love with the Packers. There has only been 1 year in my life where Aaron wasn’t on the team and I have to thank him too for making me a Packers fan and not a Bears fan.

I'm old enough and lucky enough to have been a Packer fan with quarterbacks Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rogers. We've won 4 Super Bowls in that time - 12 teams have never won one (some teams are really good at losing them, right Vikings? Snicker snicker). Kind of hard to complain. I hope Jordan Love keeps that legacy of greatness going - not sure anyone thought Rogers was going to be as good as he was at the beginning, so we'll have to see.

As a die hard fan clear back from the farve Era this hurts bad man only hope that love can show us the love train

It was past time to move on from Rodgers. You knew that, Tom but it doesn't make it hurt any less.

These lines from an old tv drama kept occurring to me: “Are you ready for it to be over?” “I’m ready for it to be different.” Salud, Aaron.

Loved the video. Very grounded and appreciative.

Two weeks from now Ian Rappaport: "Due to being unable to finalize trade details, Aaron Rodgers will be staying in Green Bay for the 2023 season"

The Jordan Love era begins

This one hits so much different than when Favre got shipped out. Nothing but respect for 12.

Well said Tom..without question one of the greatest quarterbacks off all time

Thank you for being kind and having a great look on what rogers has done.

I'm so sad 😢

The Bad Man is finally gone!!! 🐻⬇️

Awesome video. The first time he shows the belt, I'm going to cry.

It's awesome that we share a very similar path and experience of being Packers fans. I was 7 years old when the Packers lost to the broncos in the super bowl. My mom had a super bowl party and I was like, I'm going to root for that team. Been a Packers fan ever since then. Farve was my favorite player also. I cried when he threw an interception to lose that playoff game. I am so happy that you have found success with your content. Your thoughts and opinions are mostly excellent and accurate. Truly amazing job over the years, keep up the great work. Thank you and Go Pack Go!

Sorry for your loss Tom, but who knows, maybe Jordan Love is a HOF quarterback!

It's kind of incredible how little the Packers learned from the last time this happened and how they botched it again.

I didn't think I would cry I was fine all day, but here I am crying like a baby out of nowhere. I will miss the hell out of Rodgers and will be rooting for the Jets and his success. I'm one of the fans that doesn't want him to go. I hate the way Greenbay deals with veterans with a passion. That has to change.

Been watching the packers my whole life. Sadly the one year they go to win the super bowl I’m living in a town with no cable and a population of 130 people the year before smart phones and social media became common. So I had no idea they even won until I moved back to my home town. I was 6 when rodgers took over as QB and I still remember. This feels like my first time without him and idk how this is going to change the way I view packers football. Because this whole time I was not only rooting for the packers but putting my faith in rodgersto win us games. Now at 21 it’s going to be hard to pivot to a new guy who’s close to my age and feel that some awe. I’m happy rogers is still playing at least, and NYJ have some sick jerseys so you know I’ll still be repping rodgers when I can. Thank you for a great childhood Aaron.

As a bengals fan, it’s hard to say goodbye to your franchise qb. But it’s best to cherish the time the qb brought to you. Aaron Rodgers will always be a legend in the Packers fandom

SORRY ABOUT THAT TOM! IM SURE LOVE WILL SHOWOUT

Very well said! Thank you for saying it.

Very well said Tom - I agree 100%, Thank you Aaron.

In the arms of an angel

As a lions fan, and with every bit of pain Rodgers inflicted on us over the years, finally. Swept him right out the division 💨😂

Tom, as a Falcons fan, I felt exactly the way you felt around this time one year ago with Matt Ryan. You see, Matt Ryan joined the Falcons when I was 14. He left when I was 27. For just shy of two months, Matt Ryan literally was my QB for half my life. I started to follow and understand football when I was 7 (around the time Michael Vick was drafted by the Falcons), so outside of 2007 (won’t mention what Vick did; we all know) and just last season, I had known only two great QBs in Vick and Ryan. I was ecstatic for Vick’s success in reviving his personal life and his football career with the Eagles, Jets, and Steelers. Wished similar success would’ve followed for Matt Ryan in Indy, but wasn’t in the cards. Logically, I knew we had to move on from Matt Ryan. It was beyond time. Emotionally, it wrecked me inside. Matt Ryan had pulled us from darkness in 2007 to the highest of highs I didn’t expect that early. Point of all that is that I empathize with you, Tom. Maybe Jordan Love will be that guy.

“It a new era” that hit hard. 😭

Well Rodgers, despite the bad season you came off of, just know you are still one of the greatest qbs to have ever played the game of football and are more than deserving to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Thank you for all you have done for the Packers and for the great moments you have given us to enjoy throughout the years as a Green Bay Packeryou will be greatly missed (just please don’t pull a Brett Farve and play for a rival team after the Jets).😢👍 And sadly for the rest of us Packer fans and owners, the suffering and sadness will continue for a long time. For the sake of our team’s legacy and to respect people’s mental health and sanity, the Packers should not play a game of football all of next season, so we can mourn the loss of our legendary qb and really begin to fix the issues that have plagued this team for a while now.

i became a packers fan because of Charles Woodson, but i stayed for Aaron. He's legendary, and his impact will be felt on this team for years to come. Thanks Aaron. Thanks for the frickin frackin ride.

Thank you Tom. This was a very informative segment of yours, and helps us all realize how you feel, and how Packer fans are dealing with this, as well as putting yourself in Aaron's shoes. Good luck to your Packers next year.

It is gonna be a full cycle next year when he sign with the Vikings

Echoing my sentiments perfectly. Great video!

It's ok Tom...all of Wisconsin is cryin with ya buddy. Sad times indeed. But then comes the Summer of Love.

I've been a Packers fan since around 1970. I was the lone Packers fan at Thanksgiving dinners that was full of Vikings fans. There were a grand total of 2 winning seasons up until 1989. So, yeah, a lot pain during those years that many of you can relate to. So, I've enjoyed every moment, good and bad, during the Farve and Rodgers years. They would make me crazy sometimes, but it was worth every second. I'm as sorry as anyone to see Aaron go and wish the circumstances were different. But all good things must come to an end at some point. Plus, it's still a hell of lot better than being Vikings fan!

Jets Fan here Tom your videos are fantastic 👏

Wish the best for you,rodgers, the packers,and the jets 💚💛

As a fan of a divisional rival, my thoughts on Rodgers are... complicated. I respect the hell out of the Packers organization and think they're one of the best run franchises in all of sports (which makes it all the more special when we play), and Rodgers has been the face of that for years. He's one of the greatest players regardless of any position in NFL History, and (when he's not torching the Vikings secondary) I loved watching him play. That man beat my Vikings more than any other, and it was a pleasure going against him every time. Good luck in Jersey, Rodgers.

Probably my favorite and in my opinion, one of Tom's best if not the greatest podcast video. It was honest filled with a lot of humility, but he always keeps it objective and brings us all together with perspective. Thank you!

Tom, I completely understand how you feel. I’m 37 and I was roughly 6 or 7 years old when I became a Packers fan. At that time, the Packers had this young up-and-coming quarterback named Brett Favre that I ended up idolizing because not only was he a great player, but he was an absolute goofball on the field and it made football so fun to watch. I was so blessed as an 11-year old to watch the Packers win their first Super Bowl in almost 30 years. I still remember my parents talking about how awesome it was because the Packers had a roughly 20-year stretch where they were Lions level of bad. During this 30+ year stretch of being a football fan, I only experienced the Packers having just two QB1s and even when the Packers made the switch from Favre to Rodgers, it was heavily emotional for me because Favre (at that time) was my hero (how quickly did I ever learn the phrase “don’t meet your heroes” because post-Packers Favre sure made me change my opinion about the guy). However, I will admit something. Over the last five years or so, my fandom of the Packers (and the NFL as a whole) has waned a bit. The activism that was taking place in the NFL was really turning me off from the game and the whole situation with COVID made things weird. Where I used to watch the Packers every Sunday, now I only watch maybe 2 or 3 Packer games a year and usually it’s only when I’m visiting my family for the holidays. I also have a career that distracts me quite a bit from enjoying football like I used to, so to put it bluntly, my passion for Packers football is at an all-time low. So now that we’re here, how do I feel about this? As weird as this sounds and this where it differs from you Tom, I feel somewhat indifferent. Part of me is gonna miss Rodgers but at the same time, I get why he wants to move on. With the Packers going through a rebuild, they don’t currently have a roster that can win a SB and at Rodgers’ current age, he doesn’t have the time to wait for the Packers to build back to being SB contenders. I also agree with Rodgers that to be perfectly blunt, I have not been a very big fan of the Packers front office (Mark Murphy and Brian Guntekunst). I agree with him on the fact that it feels like how the front office treats departures is extremely cold and shallow. Don’t get me wrong, I still consider myself a Packers fan and do check the scores after the game. But it is really hard for me to get invested into watching a 3 hour football game nowadays and considering Rodgers isn’t going to be a Packer anymore, it will be harder.

I will say this Tom. As a fan who watched the team evolve from a bottom dweller in the 80’s into the “cardiac Pack” under Majikowski and almost make the playoffs… there was some great joy in developing hope for this team. The Favre/Rodgers era has spoiled us as fans. Basically talking about playoff scenarios every preseason instead of HOPING we can possibly make the playoffs was a huge shift. I am excited for Love and to see what he can do. At best, he could play well and this team could get into the playoffs and spark new hope. At worst, he isn’t the answer and we rebuild… I’m here for it. Go Pack Go!

Very nicely said Tom. I've watched every packer game since Rodgers became a starter. 15 years which is unbelievable. The joy and entertainment this guy did for me was fun to watch. Now I will watch Aaron with the Jets which will be very interesting. Good luck to Jordon Love. Good luck to the Packers. A sports legend has just left your team.

100% agree with every word, every feeling you are going through! Took my feelings and words right out of my mouth! Very, very well said! I too have been a packers fan since I was 6 years old, I remember every memory you talked about, I remember the superbowl, and I'm so thankful for that! I just feel guted, not against anyone, just sad but hopeful at the same time...definitely as a packer fan we don't know how to feel about this...never had to experience this, except for farve...I'm going to miss Aaron definitely, and will root for him on the jets, I wish him well...and thank you for putting this video out there, encapsulates my feelings to the T! Much love ❤️ and as always GO PACK GO!! 💚💛💚

This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever watched. This hit me hard Tom. Aaron is the only QB I have ever really watched. I was alive for Farve, but he left when I was 4 years old. Rodgers is my childhood and he has brought me and all Packers fans great memories.

I understand exactly how your feeling, it felt the exact same way watching Brady leave the patriots

When you realize those were mini helmets this whole time! 🤯

Tom...I felt this one buddy... I am a Steelers fan, LIVE, BLEED AND WILL DIE SO...I am 36 years old, and my first real memory of my Steelers was 1995, and watching my team lose to the Cowboys... I would spend the next many years praying for a chance to watch my team get a ring and it felt like forever. And then Ben Roethlisberger came along, and my GOD the man blessed me, with not 1, but 2 trophies (could have been 3 but DAMN YOUR AARON RODGERS lol). Didn't realize how much it meant until he stepped away and retired. My perspective changed, and just a little info about me as to why I felt this video and why MY perspective changed, my father passed away before ever watching his team, my team...our team the Pittsburgh Steelers win a trophy. But I got a chance to watch them win, and it will forever be in my top of memories, I hope someday to share that experience with my children...anyways, I just want to say, Great video, love your content...and for you Tom... "Go Pack Go!" P.S. Stay away from the highlight videos...they will make your heart visit your throat a few times, and the eyes get really glisteny!

Said perfectly. Well done 👏

Welcome to JetsCast

Is a longtime Raiders fan, I remember when Kenny Stabler took over for Daryl Lamonica, I felt sad. Then Kenny Stabler won a Super Bowl and I felt bad when he left the Raiders. Then Jim Plunkett guided the Raiders the two Super Bowl wins. It's just a roller coaster ride, being a fan.😎🏴‍☠️

Good stuff brother

Thank you Tom

The part where tom talked about being forever grateful for being able to watch the packers win a super bowl hit hard. Im 25, been a packers fan my whole life. They won the super bowl the year i graduated 8th grade and ill never forget it. Even tho i agree it's time to move on from rodgers, its still wayyyy more bitter then sweet. Feel like im losing a friend. Thanks for all the memories #12, and for making me fall in love with the game.

Wow Tom. Great video

I think the Packers started questioning Rodgers commitment when after he got his new big contract before the season but didn't come in and work we the new rookie wide receivers. Those questions just got bigger as the season played out.

Well done Tom! The only thing I would have added was I think the Packers were hoping he would retire so they wouldn’t have to trade him until he went on McAfee and said before the darkness retreat if the Packers want to move on he’d be fine with it, he wouldn’t be a Favre about it - that that statement is where the Packers went from make your own decision (fingers crossed) to we are moving on from you. Beyond that, agree 100% with everything you said! Excellent job!

Thanks for the great wishes from most of you... real class, much appreciated...

Love you Tom

Thank you for making this video Tom. It just summed up exactly how I feel

I'm a Jets fan. The last time the Jets made the playoffs, was the same year Aaron Rodgers won the Packers the super bowl. Just to put it in perspective how rough it's been
