Logic

Mac Jones?

Watching NFLN. Haven’t watched ESPN’s coverage in years. Gross.

Aggressive push?

I hope we never become the team that neglects it’s franchise QB, refuses to get him weapons, and generally pisses him off. Clearly, that hasn’t been the case so far. I can think of nothing as important as keeping an elite QB happy.

I would laugh and laugh and laugh if that happens. I'd also be totally fine with it. Multiple teams have said they only have 16-18 players with 1st round grades this year. It's also a shallower pool of players than usual, so I'm fine with them packaging later picks and moving around the board. If the Bills came out of this draft with two 2nd round players, two 3rd round players, and a 4th round player, I'd be happy.

This dude was just minding his own business, daydreaming about Spider 2 Y Banana, and all of a sudden Julio Jones and Aaron Rodgers are available. Someone's gonna need to take his phone away before he offers his first born.

Fast forward to opening day 2021, when Aaron Rodgers' New England Patriots take on Deshaun Watson's Miami Dolphins.

Yeah. The key thing is they already drafted a QB of the future last year, who already had a redshirt year. Why not accept the third pick and some other stuff, and then see if you can trade down with one of the QB needy teams and get a haul of picks to build around Love?

Agreed. But I'd damn sure rather see the Patriots get a rookie who has a CHANCE to be good than get Aaron Rodgers, who we already KNOW is elite and who'd probably win them another ring.

Fair enough. And I'm hearing that Rodgers wants to be on the west coast, hence the "Raiders and Broncos" rumors. What a mess. They really should have just accepted the 49ers trade offer. They're not going to do better than 3rd overall pick, replacement QB who isn't terrible, and extra stuff.

If Bill Belichick somehow lucks into getting Aaron Rodgers just one year after Brady left town, I'm gonna ***** scream.

So for all those claiming that I was nuts to say the Packers should consider accepting the 49ers deal, there's this...

Gonna order some Detroit style pizza (save me your "pizza purist" exasperation) Pop some Breakside IPAs And down a couple of these bad boys Should be a good one.

Oy vey. The over-analysis of a 90-second talking head clip in this thread his hilarious. And what the ***** does the bolded have to do with anything? Nevermind, I don't even really want to hear an answer. Jones was emotionally affected because a large, imposing athlete in a sport where brutality and violence and tough guy stoicism are encouraged felt secure and supported enough in his environment to open up and be himself and be vulnerable. EGADS! Sound the alarms! An overly emotional (and maybe insincere, and definitely not some people's cup of tea, appearance-wise) woman is blabbering about vulnerability. RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!

(I forgot about the "no 1st round pick next year" bit. You're probably right overall, but I'll never wave the white flag because I'm a stubborn sonofabitch)

I must admit that when I started this thread, I did not think there would be a greater than zero number of people griping about an “overly emotional woman”. Live and learn.

............

I actually would love if the NFL allowed double zeroes as a jersey number again. Jim Otto was a fierce sonofabitch.

1. Seems like a good year to trade up. It's a shallow pool of players, and the guys you're getting in rounds 5-7 are reasonably likely not to make this roster. Might as well use some of that ammo to move up and get who you want. 2. When it comes to football fandom, west coast is the best coast. Games at 10am and 1pm. Night games at 5:20pm. Draft at 5:00pm. It's especially great this year, because the Bills pick so late. No need to stay up until 11:30pm to see the Bills pick.

I'm on the west coast. Still drinking my cup of coffee. The good news is that I only have to wait until 5pm my time for the draft, rather than 8pm.

That's about what I was thinking, too. The one omission that merits discussion is Mike Tomlin. Even though I don't personally like Mike Tomlin very much, it's worth noting that he hasn't had a losing season in 14 years, has a Super Bowl win on his resume, and currently has a better career win percentage than Bill Cowher or Chuck Noll.

Aaron Rodgers is 37, and his relationship with the team is tenuous. They're not exactly in a happy marriage at the moment. If the 49ers were offering, say, the 3rd overall pick, next year's 1st and other picks, Garrapolo, and another player or two of worth from their roster... I'm just saying it would be worth at least taking a moment's pause to consider. Yes, it would hurt them in the next 1-3 years, but it could also potentially set their team up for long term success.

Well stated. And even though it's entirely beside the point, I'd be curious to know which coaches those would be.

I hear ya, but it was first reported by Paul Allen, a radio host for KFan 1003 in Minnesota and the play-by-play guy for the Vikings. Not entirely accurate to say he's "pretty random", imo. But as always, with rumors like this, take with a grain of salt.
