Supposed Schefter report without any source cited for actual comment (if one was made): Panthers have reached out to GreenBay inquiring about Rodgers

Sometimes, yeah.

I'm pretty sure this story is someone trying to grab some insider credit, though.

Kleiman's tweet says Schefter said it on NFL Live. Posters here have backed that up.

I just don't think we are quite in "win now" mode to try to make a hefty contract like Rodgers work.  We still have a pretty young roster and seem like a good team to draft a QB and left him develop with the roster.  I could maybe see us signing Carr because you still get probably 5 more years of solid QB play, but rookie just make a lot of sense with our staff and our roster.  Let Reich, Caldwell, Brown, Staley, and Fitt find their guy this year and get him.

Yeah, the one guy who "backed it up" is full of sh-t

Like I said, this is how these phony sources work. They claim they saw a legit source say it on TV or radio so it's harder to verify.

Not interested in a guy who is more concerned with MVP awards than SBs

Can't remember which one said it yesterday, Fitt or Reich, (I think it was Fitt) but they basically said we are in win-now mode.  And if we get Rodgers that becomes more like, "win-Superbowl-now."

Orrrrr they just both watched the Schefter segment and tweeted it out? Idk why you're getting so defensive about this.

Also browsing the Packers board some of them are suggesting our two 2nd round picks for Rodgers because of his age.

 

That is a no brainer we still keep #9 and possibly have a QB still fall into our lap.

 

Win/Win

I honestly could see it for a 2nd and 3rd or 4th.  But even 2 2nds for a potential Superbowl run in year one under Reich while Rodgers' successor is waiting behind him?  Sign me up.

Not defensive. Just using my Bullsh-t Detector.

Win now mode would look more like throwing away draft picks to acquire premier players and signing big FAs to big money.  I don't see any of that happening.  I think his "win now" was more of we are able to compete now.  They seem more concerned about building a solid foundation and being consistently good (which I like).  That looks more like a rookie QB to me...

You're the only one raising a stink about this not occurring. Perhaps you don't like the idea so you're holding on to the possibility that it's not true? 

[Panthercougar68]

It's smart business...there isn't a no trade clause like Watson had so if GB says we'll give you Aaron for a 2nd you take it...not that they would probably take that but you never know unless you inquire,

This is a "stink"?

Nah. If the story were true I wouldn't be that bothered by it given the way our front office operates. I wouldn't take it all that seriously either for the same reason.

But regardless, if you go to Twitter you can find loads of low level "sources" claiming they saw someone say something on TV to draw attention to themselves. Happens pretty much every day.

That's why until I see a more reliable source doing something other than quoting this Twitter account, I'm not buying it.

If that pisses you off, why?
