Lazard does make some sense for them. With a WR like Wilson he is a good 2/3, the Packers tried to pretend he was a 1 for most of the season. He's not a bad player. Big time size and not afraid to lay a block. I'm not seeing him as a 4th WR at all - after Wilson they don't have much at all. Jury may be out on Moore but he had a bad year 2. Lewis is probably harmless. If I'm the Jets I draw the line at Cobb. Or try to.

I think they kinda suck, actually, outside Wilson. One guy is a top pick bust from years ago and the other I think the jury is out on. Lazard is actually a good fit for them. He can block and provides some size they are lacking. I'm wish tplush on the antics though. Setting aside reality that most of the guys are washed up, Rodgers is 40 and wants friends on the team. I kind of respect what he's doing; nobody can say he's a disloyal friend, and it's just kind of funny watching him make execs squirm on his puppet strings. These people have no issues tossing old players into the street, so it's just kind of amusing watching him flip the script. I get that he may be hurting his own cause and either doesn't realize this or doesn't care, but it is still funny to watch.

Man, the 2011 Jets are gonna be totally sweet

Hearing the Jets brought in Jordy Nelson and Ryan Grant for workouts too...

Yeah I'm sorry, but, his accuracy in college holds almost no weight anymore. This isn't college football. It's a completely different speed. I'll readily concede that it's fair to say he could be really good and that he might be an accurate passer at some point - hell, there are even some advanced metrics that are favorable with his accuracy, but today, right now, he is not a pass-first NFL QB. It's completely fair to say the crap he's been surrounded with isn't a fair shake, though.
-
Yeah...I said that you remember Favre's - which you do - and was pointing out that Chad Clifton isn't a comp. I didn't say it was fantastic. Thanks for explaining "how it ends" for the 15th time. Such a bizarre hill you're dying on here. I'm sorry I wish Rodgers had a better exit, I guess.
-
Everybody remembers Brett Favre's. Let's not pretend Chad Clifton or Reggie's White second stop is even remotely close to Aaron Rodgers. But whatever. I'm not sure why you keep explaining to me it's time to move on. I've said that multiple times since February. It can still be a bit of a bummer; those two things can co-exist.
-
Hysterical. I hope they sign Cobb too and Wilson has 9 catches through week 5. Lazard probably would be their 2nd best WR though. Most amusing part of this is, anyone who's read Gunslinger can recall the passage about how the roster began to divide between Rodgers Guys and Favre Guys. Guess what one of the criteria was? "Favre had 'his guys'. Rodgers just threw the ball."
-
You can't at all understand why I think it sucks that a 4-time MVP who was winning those awards as recently as two seasons ago, arguably (likely) the best player to EVER wear our uniform...is leaving after losing a home game to the Detroit Lions in an 8-9 season that began with SB expectations...with a good chunk of fans cheering his exit and blaming him for a holding up a trade he probably has nothing to do with? I'm pretty sure there's a middleground between sunset and this.
-
I'm not sure why you're suggesting I think he should still be our QB, lol. Like, I think they should trade him. I also think it's a lame ending. Like, it would have been less lame even if they'd gone 4-13 and we went into the last game knowing he was done. Give him a standing O, lots of fan fare, etc. He'll get all that stuff after he retires, but the last game being what it was feels extremely anti-climactic. It was also just strange feeling like it went from 20% odds he left to about 99% a week after the season. I know I thought he'd be back for one more after that game, but a week later I thought he was out.
-
Yeah I mean I don't think I need it explained to me why they are moving on. I just think it's kind of a bummer the best player in the most storied franchise's history is going out so whimper-like. To quote Josh Sitton, "Everybody gets dumped in this business.
-
C'mon. That's a huge assumption. It's the NFL. They could make the playoffs this year for all we know.
-
He ran for 1,000 yards and is struggling to complete 60% of his passes. He is, right now, a one-look and dash QB. He's super young and his roster was terrible, from the targets to the protection, and they were scared of letting him throw for a while, so I'll cut him a lot of slack. But I think he's going to end up serviceable with a prolonged career based on pure athleticism, but bouncing around several teams. I'm sure that trade scores out beautifully, but my point is if that 2024 pick becomes 18th overall and Fields has a bad year, it's not going to seem all that great if they're on year 40 of the QB search in 2025. I'm glad they seem convinced he's the guy, cus I don't think he is.
-
At face value the Bears trade looks nice, except Justin Fields most likely sucks and if they miss out on Mahomes II again at #1, none of it will matter. I was hoping all along they buy into their own hype train that they don't need to draft a QB #1 because I really believe they should have done it anyway. I thinks Fields ceiling is not far off what we've already seen. He's fine and will last a while bouncing around, but I don't think he's "the guy."
-
I'm prepared for this to drop at any minute, and I know it's going to, but IDK, I still find it all pretty sad. I wish he'd gotten a proper send off. I'm sure that'll happen six years from now at a nice ceremony, but this dude gave so much to the Packers and performed at such a high level for such a prolonged period of time...as a fan, it just sucks to see soooo many fans trashing the guy on his way out the door. I get that people have their irritations with him lately (I think almost entirely misconstrued but w/e), it's just bizarre in some ways watching the guy get trashed relentlessly while so much worse conduct has been largely ignored over my lifetime as a fan.
-
I'm doubting this has anything to do with Rodgers.
-
You can order Rodgers Jets jersey from DHGate...maybe they know something we don't!
-
Seems like that would be hurting his own cause as the negotiating period is open and the Jets would like to be telling any potential FAs that Brucie isn't the plan at QB next year. The waiting harms NYJ more than GB.
-
I'm just wondering if the Packers are trying to avoid the same thing again where he ends up in the division a year later. I don't know if that's even a thing to be reasonably attained. But that's what I'm thinking.
-
Nobody has any clue what's actually happening. Assuming it's even Rodgers holding anything up is a leap at this point. We have like zero actual information. I've literally heard the deal is done and no deal is agreed to. If I were a betting man, which I am not, the Packers want something thrown in if he plays in 2024 and they are hashing that out.
-
Yeah I need to hear it from TMZ
-
Even though I knew this was happening, my heart still sunk reading it. I accept it, but it's sad.

FA starts Wednesday. As for as mental marriage to Favre because he is relatable, meh. I think way more of all of this has to do with media. We are, oddly, more detached to athletes than we used to be because we have insights to their lives now 24/7. Favre, if playing today, is popping up all over Instagram and Snapchat womanizing at bars. People deified them, all of them, a lot more back then. Now almost all of them get mocked and brought down to size for something in their personal lives at one point or another.
-
I don't think Favre's fan reaction had anything to do with him how he 'identified' with people. The team had just recently been bad, 4-12 and 8-8, and then had just come off a painful playoff loss in which they very nearly made it back to the Super Bowl. So everyone's hope was to run it back at least one more time. It didn't make sense to most people watching why they wouldn't let Favre re-neg when they were THIS close to the big one. What nobody outside the org. knew was that they already thought Rodgers was really, really good. Like possibly better than Favre good. Few people believed in Rodgers, so the team's resistance to just giving Favre what he wanted and allowing him to come back wasn't very popular. It's also just different this time around, because most of the fans lived through a transition already, so the concept of the next guy being good isn't as much of a fairytale. People could be setting themselves up for disappoint there, but I think it's a real thing. People's memories are of the transition from Favre to Rodgers, not so much of the 1970s Packers.

They were not a good team but they weren't terrible even if you completely remove their "run" against a bunch of crappy teams. They barely lost to some decent/good teams. They played Philadelphia and Buffalo somewhat competitively. I had the feeling in most games last year they just were not quite there yet with a lot of the developmental players. I think many of those guys will take big steps up. I think that they were a quintessential talented but very raw group overall. With better injury fortune they probably make the playoffs by a couple of games, but they did not have a lot of those anchor points available over the course of the year. I don't know that sitting Rodgers would have made a huge difference. Just Watson and Doubs alone with another offseason and more comfort is something I'm looking forward to. I think Quay Walker is good. I'd like to see Gary back too. Like I said, I think they have a good team. I don't think they are too far from being there again with or without Rodgers but we will see.
