Haha, I was 10 rows up with Jordy running right at me.

What an amazing play.

Y'all have to remember one thing about Favre that is basically nonexistant about Rodgers. Favre was placed on a much taller pedestal than Rodgers (in part because of that very pedestal and the benefit of hindsight). Many fans believed that he was a once in a generation player and that GB might never...

Fans where upset with the Jordy pick for two reasons, 1. they didn't know him, and two. ted traded out of the first to later part of 2nd to take him, the 2nd reason already had the fans ire, not expecting the fans to be upset Nick was yours. That and face it, white dudes didn't exactly have a track...

Wow, great video breaking it down.

Its real easy to see young Rodgers or Mahomes in his play. There are issues that are going to need work, but the upside is plainly obvious. He finds consistency and that's and NFL MVP caliber passer.

I don’t typically put a lot of stock in these immediate post-draft grading pieces but I’ll be damned if I can find a single analyst who gives the Packers draft a positive grade. Some of them are brutal. Some respected posters here have managed to talk the collective forum off the ledge but there is...

But we're in for an interesting couple of years. For as well as the Favre-Rodgers transition worked out in the long run, it was an absolutely terrible, divisive, crapfest to live through. Oh man the Favre wars. From his pick 6 in the icy NFCCG right on through his "this is not detroit man, its...

I totally came here to vote for Jordan Love.

I mean obviously he's going to be unanimous #1 from 2023-2038, but for now, its a bit premature to put him this high.

Well I'm not sure where to go here. Jones, Za'Darius, and Rodgers all make sense. Going to think about it until tomorrow, listen to the arguments. Leaning Jones tho because I love me some RB's and that kid is special. Next up tho is a slam dunk for me, Elgton Jenkins. He's clearly going to go in the...

Welcome to Rank the Roster 2020, a chance to talk about football and haggle over the roster until (hopefully) camp opens. As always, the starting 10 are the top 10 players remaining from last year's poll. This year 3 players are gone from the top 10; Brian Bulaga, Blake Martinez, and Mike Daniels. M...

But, there are some oddities. They were 21st in 3rd down sacks. The other 3 championship weekend teams were #1, #7, #8 However Rodgers was sacked the 4th most of any QB on 3rd downs. Most teams worse than GB racked up the 3rd down sacks with multiple QB's. Half of GB's sacks (18/36) occurred on 3rd...

Interesting nugget from Peter King's Monday Morning column : One last note: Gutekunst said the Packers had two receivers they were targeting in early and middle part of the second round. They tried to move up with several teams, he said, until the second receiver they preferred got picked, and then...

So what exactly was The Problem™? Well for one, GB's offense was incredibly average. 15th in points scored 12th in scoring % per drive 18th in yards gained 13th in plays run 18th in yards per play 16th in first downs 16th in passing attempts 17th in passing yards 14th in passing TD's 16th in NYPA pa...

Hey Yoop, you're going to love Bob McGinn's latest on the difference between drafting Rodgers and drafting Love: “I think we tried to put the interests of the Green Bay Packers first,” Thompson said that night 15 years ago. “It wasn’t necessarily that comfortable taking that position (quarterback) ...

Patriots are the only other team to not draft any. Was considered a sizable need for them too. does that mean anything? I still think people are waaaay underselling the supplemental draft, and I find it almost likely that GB's strategy in part involves that. Like it wasn't plan A, but its a real pl...

Okay I am confused. So the guy played really well at LT at Michigan. The guy has the same same arm length as Bryan Bulaga at 33.25 inches. Short for sure, but certainly not an indictment short. The guy in every category destroyed Bryan Bulaga at the combine for the exception of 2 less reps. Why are...

The downside is they refuse to push the chips to the middle of the table and take big swings and go for it now, and figure out the next few years later. A lot of championship teams push the envelop more than we have. Ok, I'll play. Name them. This push the chips in and go for it now concept is oft ...

In 2007 there was also the dynamic where Rodgers clearly outplayed Brett in camp and there were a lot of rumors (that got a lot louder after the season) that Aaron was the better QB behind the scenes, related better to the guys, and knew the playbook (and concepts) much better than Brett. That Rodge...

Rodgers hits half the bombs he underthrew to MVS last year and this whole team speed argument is nonsense. MVS is a legit 4.3's guy. And frankly, we have a piece of potential either of them could only dream of, that MLF likely had no idea that he had until mideseaon. Jones has rare receiving ability...

Loves arm talent is stupid. I have never seen someone exert so little effort in a 45 yard pass. Unbelievable. I'm stoked for this kid. Yeah, an arm like this is absolutely not available in the late 1st every year. Hopefully MLF keeps that fishing net drill in camp. Rodgers is for once going to have...

The reason I'm comparing to the 49ers is not because I want to emulate them, honestly. It's because the same people who hate this draft add the people who have been insisting that the 49ers are way ahead of us and have used them as the barometer for success, or for discrediting the merit of our 13-...
