In woodbuck's alternate ice fishing history, what would have happened if Aaron Rodgers had been picked by the 49ers?
Would the Packer Trilateral Commission still have decided to end Brett Favre's career with Alex Smith?

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
It just turned out that Aaron Rodgers was there to be picked by Ted Thompson. That Aaron Rodgers fell in that draft and Ted Thompson scooped him up. That wasn't any stroke of genius on Thompson's part. Simply a smart move to pick what fell to him.Originally Posted by pbmax
As for Aaron Rodgers taking over for Brett Favre after he had a near MVP season and (arguably) his best season ever. That came about because otherwise Aaron Rodgers would have more that likely exercises his option as a Free Agent and left the Green Bay Packers; and he was determined ready to succeed Brett Favre.
It came down to a simple matter of the right timing and a move for the future of the Green Bay Packers at Brett Favre's expense.

Woodbuck, you do realize you spent this entire draft bitching about us not drafting for need, right? Drafting AR was drafting for down the road (exactly what you and wist were bitching about ad nauseum.) Maybe TT's wasn't very smart there, but if that's the case, that would make you very stupid, because in contrast to you, Ted believes the draft is for the future of the team, not right now. As such, he doesn't tend to make desperation mistakes.
You have to pick a side, man.

Do you tell your children and/or grandchildren this stuff !?I really need to have this in a constant copy and paste for replies to you
Calling Matt Millen and giving him insight into the Packer offense
Blocking off hotel rooms in GB the weekend of the GB/MIN game while still under contract with the Jets
Telling Urlacher to beat the Packers and keep them out of the playoffs
Yes yes...nothing to see here
Look up the meaning of the word 'enlightenment'.
When Lambeau field will be shaken with the 'LOUDEST' Cheering of Packer fans for the outstanding career and accomplishments of Brett Favre as a Green Bay Packer, someday very soon.
Where will you be with you derisions? Where will you be with your pettiness. Where will you be with your 'much to do about nothings' Vs all that Brett Favre gave to appreciative Packer fans? Packer fans that see 'the simple' TRUTH.
Ask yourself that as I don't care to know.
PACKERS!

First of all I wasn't bitching about anything. I was at a total loss as to what Ted Thompson and his Draft Team was doing that correlated with anything approaching certain sense.
I was simply disappointed that TT didn't exercise an option to use his third round pick or #88 overall. There were prospects available at #88 overall that some here felt were certainly viable choices. I was one of those Packer fans that wished that TT had picked at #88.
Secondly... I was most upset that TT traded down 2X with the San Fran 49ers. That and using the trade value chart (TVC) as I 'only' knew that at the time. That those two moves were compounded as wrong from my view, as a Packer fan, in the value of the return that TT secured for those two consecutive trades. That being grossly insubstantial.
This was subsequently cleared up. As 'in fact' TT and the San Fran 49ers had employed a different TVC than the 'only' one I was in possession of. On that issue...I was 'in fact' active in this determination and follow-up. I 'in fact' admitted to my ignorance, as the details were pursued; and I was enlightened. I admitted later that 'in fact' TT secured fair trade value for those two trades with the 49ers.
GO PACK GO !

Actually I am in favor of Favre getting his number retired and look forward to the day. Do not confuse having a firm grasp of what occurred in the past and being able to get past it with derision's and pettiness. I am able to acknowledge both his accomplishments and his negatives.
Go PACK

It's amazing how certain people on this board give BF a complete pass on what happened.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

OK. So the ice fishing story was what you imagined happening at the time, because of the team's (and possibly your) disillusionment? Disillusionment that passed when Favre regained his mojo in 2007?
Do I have a bead on it now?

Woody, It's harder to take you as serious when you say TT lucked into AR and that it was a no-brainer.
In hindsight, it was. Clay was a no-brainer, Jennings, Rodgers, Collins, Woodson in UFA, Cobb, and many others. They're all no brainers in hind-sight. The last truly no-brainer pick I remember was Joe Thomas. I think everyone knew he was great.
TT passed up Haloti Ngata to draft AJ Hawk. If Hawk is a great player, we all sit here and call it a no-brainer.
Almost nothing is a no-brainer in the draft. Every pick, no matter how high, can be a bust. Any QB picked in the 24 slot is not a no-brainer. If it were, he'd have been the #1 pick. McCarthy knows a hell of a lot about QB play and he passed on AR.
I like your posts, but man, over time, TT must be the luckiest GM in football. We keep winning games on pure luck. That's just not true, man.

Rodgers talks with Rome about wanting a reconciliation with Favre. Favre comments start at about 05:30.

I heard that today. Rodgers is a tone-setter for work ethic. I do think it's important for your highest paid player to be your hardest worker and your tone setter. It would be very hard to ask a lot out of everyone else if the #1 paid player isn't doing it too.

Which three players are the Packer going to have to send to Mississippi to talk Bert into coming to Green Bay? Do you suppose Chilly will be available to pick him up at the airport?
LMFAO

Ohh shame on me. I imagined I had you set up for the Pro Brett Favre post of my lifetime.
