What the 1st round draft says about the Aaron Rodgers contract· Page 3

The Packers HAVE to play for a super bowl NOW.
They have a top QB, with at least a few years left. When he leaves, it’s a crap shoot to get another SB capable QB.
Look at all the teams that haven’t won even one super bowl.
Think that any one of them would want Rodgers behind center?
We have been SOOO lucky!

Having one of the top 4 QBs fall to our lap in the first round feels similar to me to picking up Aaron Rodgers back in 2005. Picking up a QB now does not eliminate Aaron Rodgers getting us another superbowl either. I like the idea of having a QB develop under 12 for 2-3 years (assuming his collar bone injury has not impacted his throwing strength and accuracy). Let's not forget that Brent led the Pack to within one overtime interception away from the superbowl back in 2007 when Aaron Rodgers was warming the bench for him.

I’m not saying the Packers shouldn’t pick a QB if one they think highly of falls to them.
I just don’t think that’s the number one immediate need.
Having the luxury to have a QB learn under Aaron Rodgers would be great. But they better be darn sure that the guy they pick is THE guy.

The Packers didn't trade Randall to The Brown's for Deshone Kizor just to get rid of Randall.
Kizor was thrown to the wolves last year, with no quality wr's until (?) Suspended guy returned.
He had very little talent around him, but he competed every game.
Don't look at his stats, just take a look at his play.
Unlike The 25 or so qb's before him, he survived Cleveland, got out and now has a chance to develope under McCarthy and learn from Rodgers.
I don't see The Packers taking a QB anytime early in the draft, if they do it spells the end of
Hundley and Callahan.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I still think Hundley is a draft day trade, probably on Sunday after some team missed out on the qb they wanted early on. Packers draft another late round qb to develop behind Rodgers and Kizor.

I can't see anyone giving anything for him as he's probably going to be cut. I see it more like Kizer is going to be the backup. And we'll cut some QB and put on practice squad. Hundley has no value.

Edit, freaking phone auto correct

Callahan wasn't ready but he is familiar with the system. We don't know what he can do but the coaches have a better idea. Hundley sucked but he has starting experience. If Hundley or Callahan are still eligible for the PS (which I think they are) I could see us keeping either of them (not that I want them to.) If not any other QB would have to be PS eligible. That probably means 6th or 7th round flyer as anyone too high would probably be poached. It also leaves out a veteran with much starting experience. So unless they plan on dumping Kizer I doubt they will be spending a day 1 or 2 or early 3 on a QB. Kizer is PS eligible I think but I seriously doubt he would last.

I think Hundley will be let go. He proved last year that he isn’t any good as a backup. And I think that shoes he wouldn’t work as a starter for anyone, either.
He wasn’t a rookie, so he should have been able to step in and do better then he did.
Look at how Matt Flynn did when he was called on. That is what you need in a backup.
Kizer HAS to be better then Hundley.

I think Hundley is worth a late round pick still if for no other reason than he's a quarterback on a reasonable contract. There are so few worthwhile qbs that Hundley will be given another chance somewhere. I predict they trade him for a conditional 6th/7th at some point.

At his best he is nothing more than a taxi squad QB.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
