Well, if you are developing a 2nd QB, that would be giving him an excellent opportunity to learn. I doubt a veteran QB, that is still on the street 8 weeks into the season, is going to jump right in and win games. #BrockPurdy
Rubley was the 3rd string QB going into the game. Tolzien was the development 3rd string thrust into the starting role when Wallace, the designated #2 was lost for the season the game after the starter when down.
He wasn’t getting 50 million per year!! He said soMy bad, Correction $8.7million.
Don’t worry. I’ll cut you a check back for the difference! I’m telling the truth. I’d be just inoculated to do it
I was convinced he was vaccinated! If he lies once, Do you think it’s possible he might lie twice?
But Rubley was not on the field after that. Favre never missed a start whereas Rodgers and Wallace were not going to play for quite a while. TT got Flynn back just in the nick of time. We went 2-5-1 once Rodgers left the lineup. The 2 wins and a saving tie were from Flynn.
Why high? If you look at the Packers draft history, they have had a lot of success drafting offensive lineman mid to late rounds. Not to mention that they currently have a pretty decent young OL that is trending upwards. Obviously, Bahk at the age of 31 is the elder statesman.
I was being sarcastic. Did anyone even watch the lying interview live? I’m going to guess that the masses didn’t even see that lying interview until he got caught! So how could I possibly know one way or the other??
This was hashed out at the time it was relevant. We don't need to bring it up years later to side track a WR thread. HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR?
Sorry boss. I just don't like leaving false statements to stand.
I'm not enamored with the O line. Since Tom looks like an OT to me; I guess I would like a guard in the 2nd. Same round we picked Jenkins. In the mocks, those tackles are going fast and early. I don't want a tight end early. Maybe we get the w/o from TCU. If so, I definitely don't want a TE till later. But certainly we (or Barry) needs a D lineman. So I hope we have two first round picks. Trade down one of them for the D lineman.
Where is Jake McCown when you need him?
Just a difference of preferences between us. I would like to see Gute get a TE and a WR relatively early. 2 players, that along with Watson and Doubs, might grow and develop with Love. I guess I am a little less worried about the OL than some, but I would still expect Gute to grab 1 or 2 mid to late rounds.
Agreed. The O line has players in place who should do well - Tom, Nijman, a few others. I don't see the O line as a high priority - beyond adding depth in rounds 3 and beyond. Well, that's true every year.
I'm not sold on Branch, at least that high. Also, if the Packers do get that #13 pick from the Jets, unless there are 2 players that just slid way further than the Packers thought they would, I would rather trade back with one of the first rounders and pick up additional picks. I think that is why some are saying that if the Jets offer their #42 and #43, instead of a first round for Rodgers, the Packers should do it. I would also want the Jets to swap their #13 with our #15 in such a trade plus any other additional players and/or future picks added to that.
Hmmm, that would certainly be ok with me. And I'm not sold on Branch as a top 15 pick either. Seems like he started there in earlier mocks, but now I'm seeing him go at #20 for later.I'm not sold on Branch, at least that high.

They can keep #13 if we get a pair of 2nds and a later 2nd Rounder in 2025 if Rodgers plays 2 seasons or equivalent.
That's our problem, 3/5's of the line is just made up of "depth" guys who are our starters by default. We need starters. We need guys who don't need a TE staying in to block or a WR crashing down to give a chip before going into a route because your Tackle needs help, or your guard needs help so we need 2 guys out there to do the job of the tackle that is helping the guard. and if you don't do that, we face the likelihood someone has practically a free run at our QB or RB in the backfield before a play can even start.
Agree. And there has to be a conditional pick in there if he does play a second year. It can start out as a third rounder and escalate to 2nd round if they make the playoffs and 1st round if they get to the SB. Something like that.
I wonder if Gute has said to the Jets "Fine, for now, we will take your two 2nd round picks in the 2023 draft. However, if Rodgers plays (for any team) in 2024, we get your 2025 1st rounder and for each year after that, the same thing."
Hey, why the hell not? If they all knew he was going to play at least three years, this would be a multiple first round pick trade.I wonder if Gute has said to the Jets "Fine, for now, we will take your two 2nd round picks in the 2023 draft.
