Yes, he has a rep for being a dick--even in his own family--but he gets Green Bay to the playoffs.  Reminds me of the Marino swagger--I hated that guy.

I remember reading about a player who idolized Marino growing up. Then he got to the NFL, got to play against Marino, saw how he acted on the field and got over it.

The best thing to do is sit tight and see what falls to us.  Then have a plan.

However, if you could get a Watson for CMC and Shaq and maybe a second rounder, you make that trade and trade #8 back for more picks in the 18-40 range.

Remember Deems Maye?  He was playing with the Chargers and was injured when they were in the Super Bowl in Miami. I spoke to him in the spring following that game on the golf course at Uwharrie Point.  He went to the game, and was partying at Marino's house--he said he had never met him and was a bit in awe of him--then he said he'd never been around a person with a stronger case of narcissism and entitlement.

My sister's a big fan because of his work with autism. Years back, he sent her an autographed football to raffle off for a fundraiser.

Kudos for all that but yeah, he's still a dick.

Why would you trade the #8 pick for a guy who would be the 6th QB taken in THIS years draft. JL is horrendous, he's their third stringer.

Lol no way you could get Watson for that

Maybe a 3rd or 2022 2nd. Reports are that he hasn’t even looked good enough so far to be the #2 QB in Green Bay. Their beat reporter said even if Rodgers was released/traded this offseason his guess it that Love wouldn’t start. He was a late 1st round pick as it is and a year of his cheap contract has been used up. Combined with the reports on his progress so far, I don’t think we should consider this unless it’s for a price that makes GB look retarded (I.e. won’t happen).

[DeAngelo Beason]

Dude.  No.  Absolutely not.

[LinvilleGorge]

Why in the hell would we trade #8 overall for a QB who was a late 1st rounder a year ago and who hasn't shown anything at the NFL level? Good lord, the Packers would be doing backflips and laughing their asses off.

You should probably do that but that's not a realistic trade.

Rodgers in the past 2 weeks or so:

Loses the NFC game because he can't make a play in the red zone on 3 downs--blames his coach for not going for it on fourth--in the media.

Hints to reporters that he may not be in Green Bay next year--using vague, "try to figure me out" ambiguous, intentionally-misleading, attention-getting language.

Now wants the team to commit to him and rid themselves of the backup (probably because he knows that backup is him 12 years ago--sitting behind Favre.)

No, but if we are going shopping for high-dollar free agents, we have to cut some cap.

I shouldn’t have posted 1st round pick, it could have been any pic. For the record I don’t believe we should do this, like I stated in the original post, it is just for discussion. Even a 2nd round pick was just a topic for discussion.

not a chance for #8. I'd do our second rounder though.
