1pooh4u Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Aaron Rodgers says his intention is to play for the Jets. This is something I never wanted. I wanted Garoppolo or Carr. Lamar Jackson or Mayfield over a 39 yo diva QB who trips balls in the desert as a means of decision making. He’s also a dick but apparently players like him despite his diva tendencies. Let’s see how the young locker room of the Jets fares under Rodgers, if he in fact comes, he probably definitely is cuz the jets picked up Lazard, his fav target (or one of), when Rodgers doesn’t produce cuz the o line can’t hold on long enough for him to make plays. I just got my doubts. Apparently he’s a jet already and has been since this past Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Also, the conditional 2024 2nd round pick the Packers are getting from the Jets turns into a 1st round pick if Rodgers plays 65% of the Jets' offensive plays in 2023. So Pooh, pray he gets injured halfway through the season so you can keep that first-rounder for next year.

1pooh4u Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 Rodgers chose to wear #8. Namath said he’d unretire #12 so Rodgers could wear it. I actually think a smidgen better about Rodgers for declining the offer. It’s just a number wgaf, right? But it means a lot to the players so I think it was a gracious offer by Namath and it was graciously declined by Rodgers.

The players that are in the draft that are most likely to succeed are announced on the ESPN ticker a day or so after the first round. That's fair. I can't really disagree with you on that. I will say, however, that in order for any college player to make in the NFL at all, you have to have a decent to great combination of intangibles, character, raw talent (in some cases, combined with athleticism), and work ethic, with at least one of those topped out. Look at Tom Brady, for example. Not a good athletic specimen nor did he have a lot of apparent raw talent. However, his character (well, for the most part, anyway) and intangibles were great, and we all know his work ethic broke the friggin' scale. Granted, his falling to the sixth round put a massive chip on his shoulder, but remember this part as well: He grew up a 49ers fan, and they passed on him in the third round by selecting a guy who didn't even play a down in the NFL. (Now this probably actually makes you point even more valid, but there's a point to this.) Compare him to legendary bust Ryan Leaf. Leaf had all sorts of raw talent, but his intangibles were questionable, his work ethic was also questionable, and his character was pretty much non-existent, and several teams at the time thought he was better than Peyton Manning, (Team culture also plays a factor, but not all the time.) Case in point: I do agree with you quite a bit, but I have throw in the caveat that it should really be judged on a case by case basis because it can be s a perfect storm of greatness for some and a perfect storm of suck for others.

Tom Brady is a terrible example. He went in a low round with a lot of other football players that weren’t deemed to have enough character. It just proves the prognosticators don’t actually know.

Gemini Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Of course, I just realized that the NBA and NHL have the first half of the first round determined by a lottery (ideally involving those franchises that failed to make their league's respective postseason) and the rest of the entire draft (round by round) determined by how each respective team finished the season. I mean there's been demand amongst those that cover the NFL that the league switches to a first-round draft format similar to the aforementioned leagues. (I remember Mike Greenberg wanting this several years back when he and Mike Golic had their weekday morning radio show on ESPN Radio.) I just don't think the support for it is loud enough for the league to actually go to that, unfortunately. This is the same league, mind you, that insists on the possibility of regular sesaon games ending in a tie, which I personally don't like, but also because it would also affect playoff positioning and even playoff qualification. (But that's a discussion for another time.) Case in point: The team owners in the league are stubborn and want to stick to the status quo, for better or worse, which sucks because instilling a Draft Lottery would, at least to some degree, discourage teams from tanking. (But you have those owners in the league.who would hate that because they see owning a sports franchise as a "status symbol" of their wealth.) Tl;dr: It's a great idea, but it's up to someone to aggressively push for it in NFL Owners' meetings. Otherwise, we'll never see it in the NFL.

Luckily I purchased my tickets in the 300 section yesterday cuz tix in the same or similar section went up in price. Tix that cost me $130 yesterday would have costed me +$200 today and they didn’t even win a fuckin game yet. The 300’s ain’t bad the way the stadium is set up the view is pretty damn good like actually better for viewing the field than tix I usually get.
