Steven Jackson Trade?

[bobblehead]

Wow -- maybe RG and picks.

Don't trade me man! I haven't been THAT bad, have I?

You'd get traded for a bag of practice balls, and you know it!

wouldnt' we have to throw in something of value??

A bag of pucks?

Steven Jackson would be nice, but there's another guy out there who I think would be an immediate upgrade...what about Larry Johnson?

He should come cheaper then Jackson, and KC has to be looking to the future, not the present as well.

I think I just threw up in my mouth

No thanks

Larry is probably done. I think Grant is better at this point. I like Steven Jackson and would do the deal if that was a real option.

As far as Arrigo reporting something . . . you have access to all the same info he does. Either he or his source is just speculation. He has yet to hit a single prediction - as far as I know. Reports of his accuracy are unfounded.

LJ is done

he has the lowest yards per carry of any of the top 50 rb's

heard that on the radio yesterday

that is a guy that does need a great o-line in front of him

[DannoMac21]

If any of you know who Arrigo is or follow him (personally I think that he just makes stuff up for fun, much like I make mock drafts), he said that 3 different people told him S. Jackson to the Packers for Grant and a 2nd.

Maybe he'll get one right for once.

*sigh* Must you get everyone excited like this? Arrigo's a joke and posts rumors every day. Look at that thread, he talks about trades for Merriman, Cromartie, Joe Thomas, Peppers, McFadden, and Chris Long. Are the Rams really going to traded Chris Long?! Are the Browns realistically going to trade the best player on their team?

I'd absolutely love a Grant+2nd for Jackson deal, but the Rams just signed S-Jack to a 6 year extension last year. He's the only argument for Rams fans in a football debate.

[DannoMac21]

Didn't someone just post Arrigo getting called on posting USC Pro Day pictures as "his", then clarify that the photographer (a friend of his) sent them to "him" only for the webmaster of the site to find out he had no permission to use the photos?

That guy is full of horsebleep.

Yeah that definitely happened. He's done and said endless things and people still worship the guy because he spits out rumors. I could very well be doing the same thing and getting the same amount of attention and love and say I'm getting all my info from friends "inside the headquarters". Not a bad idea...hmm...

[Waldo]

If there was anybody on the Rams that I'd love to trade for, Otagwe would be the guy, not Jackson. (though I wouldn't mind Jackson).

You have to question, why does he do it? He somehow has inside connections at the highest levels of the organization, talks to them constantly for the latest dirt, and goes around spreading his findings like a man of mercy on message boards, saving the day, telling fans what is really going on? He doesn't do it for money, and he rarely converses about the Packers. When he does, it is apparent that he doesn't know nearly as much as he should if he was a team insider. I'm not crazy am I, that just sounds silly.

His cap acumen is woeful, he spreads a lot of cap infeasible rumors.

I think a lot of people listen to him and follow him because of the manner of presentation and the desire for the type of information, without knowing his history. For people that have seen him around 2-3+ years, ummm, what has he ever gotten right? He says things in an unprovable manner always, and basically says something for every possible happening.

That's just the nature of the beast with trade rumors. For every 10 that get discussed, maybe 1 gets consummated.

I'm more than happy to hear about it even if nothing happens.

[MadtownPacker]

Wow, all kinds of grant hating now. Good. He is not a starter and should have been replaced when he held out/didnt sign last year. Not sure why TT didnt play hard ball with him.

[3irty1]

Steven Jackson is boners. He's one of the most complete backs in the league. This trade seems to make a lot of sense for everyone.

If you hear something you think may be genuine, from people who have access to the info, you repeat it, that is a rumor.

If your buddy suggests that it would be a good idea for the Pack to trade for player XXX and give up YYY - that is speculation.

There is nothing wrong with speculating - just call it what it is.

Although I bet TT discusses many trades every season that never reach a serious stage, I don't give much credence to the Joe source because he has been completely off base most of the time. I would estimate he is 0 for 100 in predicting Packer FA signings. In 06 he listed 20-30 FAs that the Packers were supposedly interested in signing. The theory was TT cleared up the cap space and now was ready to make his move in the FA market and some of the big names would be brought in the first day for tryouts. As it turned out - no players were brought in and TT stated later that there was little interest in many of the big names. Interestingly, 2 of the names not on the list? Ryan Pickett and Charles Woodson, the only two we actually did sign.

[Pugger]

If this rumor has any truth to it I pray TT pulls the trigger. Jackson is an elite back. This guy is #4 in rushing with that sorry team in St. Louis. Backs like this don't grow on trees. If our opponents had to concern themselves with a back like this Rodgers life would become so much easier!

[Bretsky]

Doubt TT has much interest but I'd pull the trigger without hesitation. Take our first, or take our second plus Grant.

As a Ram Fan...behind GB.....this dude has serious dam talent.
