Has the NFC North suddenly become a battle of the young QBs?

Lions: Matthew Stafford*. #1 overall. Franchise QB.

Bears: Jay Cutler. Pro Bowler. Franchise QB.

Packers: Aaron Rodgers. Favre's heir. Franchise QB.

Vikings: er... Tarvaris Jackson. Well, there's always one that spoils the party!

* Assuming the Lions draft Stafford, which they pretty much will have to, to compete now.

2009 is going to be a very interesting season.

For me, its waaay too early to call Stafford a Franchise QB. But yes, assuming everyone stays put and is healthy there will always be some comparison of Rodgers to Cutler.

Even if the Lions sign Stafford, I doubt they'll start him directly. They still have Culpepper who can play allright if he has some talent around him. At least as good or better as a first year QB, I guess.

(Yeah, I know. Matt Ryan, but how often does that happen? And Flacco really wasn't that good.)

I just hope that this sparks back up the GB/Bears rivalry which hasn't been that exciting to me in the last couple years 🙂

I know I'll dislike their QB more than Orton, that's for sure.

I think the NFC north is on the cusp of becoming a very strong division.....if only the Lions can get their shit together and become at least respectable.

Until I heard about the killer workout Stafford put together for the Lions, I was pretty convinced the would go Jason Smith OT Baylor as their top pick. Still might, but Stafford looked really good.

What the hell happened to Drew Stanton? I thought they were all over this kid.

edit: digs; what were you doing up at 4:44 a.m.?

I wouldn't draft Stafford. He'd get David Carr'ed.

Build the team first. QB should be the last piece. Draft that QB in '10.

But yeah, the Packers and da Bears now have QBs. The Vikings are kind of looking silly now. :pottytrain2:

If the Liions think Stafford will be a franchise QB they would be crazy not to draft him. Franchise QBs are very hard to get. A couple of teams have been very lucky as of late, but that is not the norm. They would also be crazy to play him immediately. Sit him until he has some experience and the team has some kind of decent supporting players. The only thing close to being as hard to as great QBs are great LTs and DEs.

beast (4h) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (7h) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (7h) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (8h) : haha that's a lie

beast (16h) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (21h) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, I assume you were among the Packer fans that got the "Go Pack Go!" chant going in the first quarter. Very appreciated!

jdlax (16-Dec) : We are doing the thing out west my friends

beast (16-Dec) : Damn, should have picked the Buccaneers over Chargers

beast (15-Dec) : Note: DuBose was just going all out for questionable location ball, probably never saw the defender. Bad idea to throw it there.

beast (15-Dec) : Yeah, DuBose head went down and he nailed the defender with the top of his helmet, full head, neck, spine potential injury there

Mucky Tundra (15-Dec) : Grant DuBose carted off after taking a hard hit

Mucky Tundra (15-Dec) : I believe Saleh is still helping out. Whether or not he's in GB or how active he is, I cannot say

Martha Careful (15-Dec) : Is Robert Saleh still helping out the Packers? Is he in GB?

buckeyepackfan (14-Dec) : SDSU Jackrabbits on now. Wonder if Tucker is watching?

beast (13-Dec) : It's going to be interesting to see if they do anything with Alexander, such as ask him to ask a pay cut

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : both Romeo Doubs and Evan Williams have cleared concussions protocol

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : LaFleur said Jaire Alexander will NOT play Sunday

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : LaFleur says he thinks LB Edgerrin Cooper will play this Sunday.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Made copy/paste super fun

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : CTRL and DEL weren't working consistently at all.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Amazon steps were annoying. I already tried it on multiple computers, did restart, updated G Hub, ...keys no work.

beast (13-Dec) : Turns out we simply needed to restart the computer, it had no physical keyboard issue

beast (13-Dec) : Demanding that I change the keyboard as they needed that key (h I think) and changed it out and the issue stayed.

beast (13-Dec) : I remember when I was the new hire and default tech guy for an office, one letter on a common use keyboard when out and the top person was

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Thought I was going bonkers.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : I got a new keyboard and damn thing wasn't working half the time.

beast (13-Dec) : So he signed with the Rams, 49ers barely beat Packers, Rams beat 49ers and went on to win Super Bowl

beast (13-Dec) : Beckham already was, for the Rams... rumored Beckham wanted to sign with the Packers but Packers didn't want to match his price
