I love to see Kevin quoting himself. He and Foster-Dave may be the only two people on this site who are more egotistical than I am.

I would definitely tag it, plus she has been reduced to "our league".

That is an excellent talking point for both of us... You can tell St. Peter, I can tell Lucifer--- "Ya, I was on it".

So Rodgers isn't that good?

Thompson and McCarthy have just been padding his stats to make themselves look better?

Those sons-a-bitches... must have had to pay opposing defenses a fortune to allow all those yards and touchdowns - just to protect their phony-baloney jobs.

Devious pricks... they even forced Ryan Grant into not running well - so that the team would be in more third-and-long situations.

Damn... they fooled us all. We must be stupid.

Here's another comment in a very similar vein, this time from PFT:

Green Bay's offense is nothing like it was when Favre was here. It has morphed into a pass first offense where the run is an afterthought. It is more spread offense then west coast. It started in 2008 when MM and TTs goals were to pad AR's stats to try to justify getting rid of Favre and morphed into the offense it is today. Night and day from 2007. If Favre played in this current GB offense, there is no doubt he could get 5000 yards. Heck, he got as many yards and more TD (and wins) than Rodgers playing in an offense with no-name WRs who he never played with before. There is no doubt that even at 41, Favre is the better QB.

And here's a response demolishing the argument:

You are as clueless as you are wrong.

The Rodgers-led Packers are a pass first offense? That's funny. Check out the actual data.

2003 - 507 rushes, 473 passes - 48.3% pass plays
2004 - 441 rushes, 598 passes - 57.6% pass plays
2005 - 398 rushes, 626 passes - 61.1% pass plays
2006 - 431 rushes, 630 passes - 59.4% pass plays
2007 - 388 rushes, 578 passes - 59.8% pass plays
2008 - 437 rushes, 541 passes - 55.3% pass plays
2009 - 438 rushes, 553 passes - 55.8% pass plays

As a percentage, the Packers have run the ball more in both of Rodgers' first two seasons than they did with Favre in the previous 4 seasons. And I'd argue that the only reason Sherman ran the ball as much as he did in 2003 is because they had three RBs averaging over 5.0 yards per carry on the ground.

So the Packers are actually passing LESS now than they did in Favre's last several seasons. And Rodgers is still getting MORE passing yards, a much better TD to INT ratio and a much higher passer rating than Favre did.

How's the crow, idiot?

Yep, it was one huge conspiracy to make themselves look good while simultaneously ignoring the goal of WINNING.

In my mind's eye, I just bit this writer's nose off and spit it in his face.

<edit> Maybe it just seems like Rodgers passes more because his throws are so goddamn PRETTY.

beast (3h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (8h) : meh

Zero2Cool (12h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (12h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (12h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (15h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (15h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (18h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (18h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
