Steven Jackson Trade?

[denverYooper]

Steven Jackson is boners.

Never heard that phrase b4, but i dig it. No doubt there'd be many boners in packerland if this happened.

...a lot of real trade rumors about STEPHEN JACKSON of Golden St. Warriors but I can't find any legit rumors on Steven Jackson the Ram Would be cool though and will cost high draft pick(s) plus probably Flynn or Brohm.

If they wanted Brohm, they would just sign him, he is on the practice squad, afterall.

More important point; the trade ain't happening.

Re: Steven Jackson Trade?

Mike Florio says the Packers should trade for Steven Jackson right now. I guess I am not opposed to that.

Got this off of twitter

Anyone think TT would make a deal like this?

Joe Thomas?

I'm ok with the Jackson trade, but where does Joe Thomas come up? Snake is straight as a nail, but I'd have sex with Joe Thomas if that's what it took to get his ass at LT in GB over that train-wreck named Colledge. Sometimes you take one for the team...But I'd be the giver of course. ....I'd get REAL DRUNK....but hey, we'd be dominant at LT, like Snake on JT's ass...whoops...

Why would TT trade for Jackson when, in 2007 draft, he wouldn't trade up for Marshawn Lynch or Adrian Peterson? Instead, he drafted Justin Harrell.

In 2007 he felt Brandon Jackson and Deshawn Wynn were the answer at running back. A lot of us back then were hoping he'd at least trade up and try to get Lynch. It was severely disappointing when he didn't.

Anyone could tell from the film that Lynch and Peterson were in a class by themselves that draft year, and Peterson was head and shoulders above Lynch. Minnesota pulled the trigger that year. TT held his fire. The result, we got two also rans, while Buffalo and Minnesota (well Minnesota for sure) got the difference makers.

Maybe TT and MM are still married to the idea that their zone blocking scheme doesn't require elite backs.

In the 2008 draft which was rich with running back talent (Darren McFadden, Johathan Stewart, Felix Jones, Rashard Mendenhall, Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Ray Rice, Kevin Smith, Jacob Hester, Steve Slaton, Tashard Choice and Tim Hightower), TT drafted ZERO running backs, apparently still thinking Brandon Jackson and Deshawn Wynn were the answer.

Again, a lot of us were severely disappointed TT couldn't pull the trigger then.

I'd be shocked if he pulled it now and traded for Steven Jackson.

Are you sure TT didn't try to trade up for one of them?

Most people that know what was going on after the fact say the player that Ted really wanted in that draft was Darell Revis, when he was taken they tried to trade out, but only for picks in that draft.

There was also that whole Grant guy in 2008, that was a sensation the year before. Gado wasn't nearly as good as he seemed at the time. His stats sucked. Grants were quite good. Like AD good.

I don't have any inside info. I'm just going on the results of the draft.

I know he could have had Ray Rice, for instance, if he had wanted him. The same for Steve Slaton and Matte Forte. I'm guessing moving up four positions to get Marshawn Lynch wouldn't be that hard.

Sure, he may have been mislead by Gado and Grant, Jackson and Wynn. But again, these are potential guys, not proven college, marquee talent.

Of course, no one can absolutely predict that a college star will make it in the NFL, but I'll wager that more often than not he does. The knock on Adrian Peterson, for instance, was that he was "injury prone." However, Minnesota gambled on talent and won. Too often TT gambles on long shots and loses.

For a team that needed a punt returner, Devin Hester and Greg Jennings were no brainers.

I'd argue that there is no such thing. i.e. Kijana Carter

[sheepshead]

Not in football there isnt-no way. The biggest crap shoot in all of sports

[bobblehead]

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.

I'm convinced Grant got the benefit of all the bad press TT was getting regarding Favre. It made no sense to give him anywhere near the deal he got.

TWill got his pay bumped to a cool million from the 400k minimum, and that is all Grant should have gotten at that time as well.

I would say its not even a debate....Tony Mandarich. Akili Smith. David Carr. I could go on for a page and a half, but most people wouldn't even recognize the names of guys who aren't Packers or QB's...ie, Andre Bruce. Blair Thomas anyone?

[red]

why are who people even still talking about this?

its been proven to be complete BS

it started with an opinion piece with a guy saying that jackson should be tradrd and green bay is the team tht should want him

this is no different then me saying that pittsburg should trade polamalu because is head and shoulders commercial is so stupid.

and green bay should be the team that goes after him because we have the cap space and could use him at safety

lets see how long it takes arrigo or the rest of the nut jobs over there to pick up on that one

[MadScientist]

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.

I'm still not sure how this makes much sense for the Rams. Sure they are going nowhere this year, but they give up some talent for a bit of cash savings and a 2nd rounder. Is it really worth it when Jackson is signed for several years? Unless I've missed something about Jackson wanting out, I don't think the Rams would consider it.
