What I DID mean is that it just seemed a little bit of a reach for people
to "doubt" Aaron and then "tout" Ingle Martin and then Brian Brohm as QB's
who were more promising than he was.

Dude, I have never read anything like what you are suggesting.

Brohm was picked when Aaron was in his first year starting. I'd say anyone "touting" Brohm over Rodgers as being more promising was in all likelihood doing so with respect to where they were as prospects coming out.

Coming off a fantastic performance in prime time against the Cowboys, it was evident Rodgers was a promising NFL QB. No one in their right mind would think Brohm had a more promising career ahead of him than Rodgers.

As for Ingle Martin... any person who saw pre-season games was pretty in tune with the fact that Martin was fodder. In their defence, maybe those people were psychic and foresaw our current punting problems. Perhaps when they touted Ingle Martin, it was as a punter - even he would be hard pressed to perform as bad a Kapinos.

Hell, even the black knight on one leg in Monty Python's Holy Grail could punt comparably to Kapinos. At the very least, it'd be entertaining to see him react to the coaches after a bad punt:

MM: You shanked it.
BK: No I didn't!
MM: What do you call a 5 yard punt returned for a TD that lost us the game?
BK: A mere game stoppage to catch our breath.
MM: We lost the game.
BK: No we didn't.
MM: The scoreboard says "Final" on it.
BK: It is but a typo.
MM: The scored more than us!
BK: Right, we'll call it a draw.


...while going down memory lane of the 05 draft

To be honest, Aaron Rodgers made that draft for us.

Nick Collins was an excellent find. But outside of him, it was slim pickings in the sense that we got 1 starter.

Adding a franchise QB made it a great draft.

I retract my statement that "EVERYONE" doubted Aaron (Zombie, etc)...
Although I never did say everyone "criticized" Aaron. I said that everyone "doubted" Aaron. And I can say w/certainty that there were quite a few that doubted him.

What I DID mean is that it just seemed a little bit of a reach for people
to "doubt" Aaron and then "tout" Ingle Martin and then Brian Brohm as QB's

You can see those posts in search.

Also don't get me wrong either. I like all of you guys. I was just trying to do some good natured ribbing while going down memory lane of the 05 draft =)

I think it's reasonable to doubt any pick. The only pick ever in the NFL that did not merit doubt was in '89, the 3rd overall pick. There was no doubt he'd be great. Every other pick, there has to be a sense of doubt, there's no guarantee's in the draft.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
