Let's face it, Aaron is getting up there, and he's starting to "pull a Brent" with his demand to run the offense through Clements. No guarantee he's gonna hold up a whole season either.

So you have direct evidence that Aaron Rodgers demanded to "run the offense through Clements"? You must have a great inside source!

Somehow I think Nerd would make a very poor research scientist.

What do you think of Clement's qualifications?

I'm sure the decision was made because Mike McCarthy et al. thought it was best for the team. That doesn't mean he's right, but that's the nature of coaching.

I'm all for drafting a QB... Aaron could start free falling in 3-4 years. It isn't some automatic he'll play out his contract even though he says he wishes to do so and beyond. He doesn't know, nor do we, when his skills may erode.

Clements as OC? Who knows? He's been around a long time and you won't really know until he's actually done it. I think he's well qualified.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I think old uncle Ted is blowing predraft smoke.
He rarely shows his hand in any true way.

Just seems odd to me the way they made Edgar OC, but then put Clements in charge of play calling. Almost like they were trying to negotiate with Aaron.

I think Ted actually drafts a lot of the players we have in for visits. I don't see a 1st or 2nd being used on a QB but I could certainly see them using a mid rounder on one.

Teams only get 30 invites, right? You really think that Ted Thompson would blow any portion of them, even one, away on a bluff? The more I think about that, the more shame I feel for even considering it possible.

No, this is not bluff. This is the Packers doing due diligence, something we often fail to appreciate.

Yup. The Packers could obviously use a talented backup quarterback. If Ted thinks that Petty has a chance of slipping a bit and could be the Best Player Available in the 3rd of 4th rounds, he'd likely have to take him. Or he at least needs to do his research so that he knows how talented and intelligent he actually is. If you think you could draft a potential franchise QB, you should do it more often than not, especially in rounds 3-5. Never know when you're drafting the next Tom Brady or Russell Wilson (who I still think if a little overrated, but still).

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
