Yup I saw him talking about that on NFL network the other day. Who did the Packers take instead? IMO this is another hoody genius example of excellent foresight. TT probably looked and just seen a mediocre QB.

[pbmax]

7th round pick versus UDFA is excellent foresight?

Try blind luck.

brad jones was our 7th round pick that year, brandon underwood and jarius wynn were our 6ths and jamron meredith was our 5th

Brad Jones who couldn't get off the bench without shitting himself vs Edelman. Yeah, completely luck.

Brad Jones was a starter for a Super Bowl team long before Julius Edelman was.

He was a pass rushing starter (7 games) for the 2009 Packers, which was a Top 7 unit. He was hurt in 2010, but still started 5 games for the Super Bowl team when the Defense was a Top 5 unit.

But yeah, go with your version.

Those defenses were also "successful" with AJ Hawk. Sometimes things are just meant to be, even with an idiot like Jones fucking things up.

I suppose Hoody is so genius, he knew how good Edelman was going to be, but knew the rest of the league had no idea. So he just waited until the 7th round to take him. Fuck is that guy smart.

holy @#$#, throwing shade on a Super Bowl winning D! No pleasing this guy!

Correct; Genius coaches develop players. Fuck is that guy smart. I guess the proof is in the Super Bowls

Just a guy Jones had a few nice games but overall sucked as a starter.............for WAY too long

Can't trade Brad Jones for Edelman. Seriously, didn't Jones even get a sack in the SB? Granted, his re-signing was a failure, and he was not a huge long-term contributor, but we WON THE SUPERBOWL in 2010. Jones contributed to that and Edelman would not have. Enough said.

How can you say Edelman would not have contributed to that team had he been on it? That makes no sense.

Well, he might have been buried on the depth chart. The Packers had had Jennings. Driver, Jordy and Jones at WR. Edelman took a while to develop. He didn't become a big time player until 2013.

not to mention he was a QB all through college, and TT and fat mike don't tend to /think that far outside the box

so if we had drafted him somehow, he probably would have been our practice squad QB

also, as a WR, he had 714 yards receiving TOTAL for his first 4 seasons, and averaged 1 td per season for those first 4

so even if he had been drafted by green bay to play something other then QB, and IF he had even made the team with our deep WR corps that year, it doesn't look like he would have added much to the super bowl team

[Zool]

They truly don't think outside the box. Cobb and Monty were never in the backfield. They never use TEs in multi formations to get matchups and would never draft a WR and make him into a pro bowl DB. They just don't have it in them to think outside the box.

really thinking outside the box would be putting cobb under center every now and then. and its not thinking outside the box, its the definition of insanity that they keep throwing cobb in the backfield when it doesn't work

and like a few people have said time and again on here, a lot of people thought monty would be a running back in the pros, so not a big stretch there when we put him there out of deperation

Except that he played there as a rookie too. No credit at all I guess. You're either hoody or you're a retard.

brad jones was our 7th round pick that year, brandon underwood and jarius wynn were our 6ths and jamron meredith was our 5th

Way to go Ted Thompson.

Your crap shoot turned up crap.
