TT's finest moment as a Packer GM Drafting Aaron Rodgers was a fluke and reluctantly made.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

its amazing how things have changed since then

so many teams passed on rodgers (the potential #1 overall pick), because they just didn't have a big need for a QB

now teams are taking QB's in the top 5 who have no business being drafted in the first round (see mitch turbo)

i think in this day and age, there is no way teams would let a talent like a-rod drop out of the top 5, even without knowing he would end up being a HOFer

Different eras.

In 2005, there wasn’t a rookie scale. As Bill Polian explained, A-Rod’d free fall had a shitload to do with the capitalist pig owners wanting to earn more profits. Alotta teams picking in the top 10 already had a highly paid QB on their rosters. Drafting the Great Arm of Butte would milk the capitalists even more, as top rookies back then got paid more, if even before they played a meaningful game, than many vets of NFL wars.

With the rookie wage, the owners are now more willing to gamble on hotshot and notsohotshot qbs alike.

Another thing, Todd could’ve avoided the entire Favre drama had the incompetent Polar Bear simply released Favre outright. I mean, Brett Favre single-handily turned around a moribund Packer franchise, for fuck’s sake! Show some fucking respect!

Did Irsay ship Manning off to Siberia?

True of every draft, no?

Agreed, but it was a weak draft in retrospect. Washington needed a QB, and passed with their first pick in the first round. I guess teams don't want to make the same mistake anymore and draft QBs way higher than they should.

Good point, Red.

Hopefully that will work in the Packers' favor next week, when Murray, Haskins, Lock and Jones all go before the Packers' pick.

Or all but one goes, and Washington and Miami get into a bidding war over the Packers' #12 pick....my fantasy.

Sure he was and why didn't TT and the Packer Scouts eat it all up or jump all over the prize that was Aaron Rodgers? Instead we get the beginning of too much and lame ass managing with

This story actually amazes/ shocks me on a level of procrastination and slowness of mind that cannot exist in a GM and Pro Sports.

Yes amazing and utterly so. WHY?

This whole story reads like Fritz's (SEE THIS THREAD) or an April's Fools Joke.

2 different teams. 2 Owl championships. Woodbuck conclusion: Procrastinator with a slow mind.

Didn't we use the pick from Favre to trade up for Clay Mathews? Seems like insisting on return worked out.

Manning had the courtesy to have his arm die on him.

It was part of the trade. We sent our 2nd and 2 thirds for the clay pick. Bert got us one of those 2 thirds

If we keep digging into this trade, eventually we will find that it somehow connects to Kevin Bacon.

brett favre was traded for a conditional 4th round pick that eventually became a 3rd.

that third was packaged with another 3rd and a second to move up to get clay

brett favre appeared in "there's something about mary" with matt dillon

matt dillon and kevin bacon were both in "wild things"

got anything harder?

That did seem too easy

I don’t remember any of the male actors in Wild Things.

Its nice when a garbage thread takes a turn to a much better topic such as Neve Campbell!

Could you see buying a new house and then saying we have a new house now we can just give away the last house for nothing?

Fuck, another stupid APB post.
