Mr. Scot

I don't buy the notion that the team is "dropping breadcrumbs". Nor should they. The team doesn't owe the fans advance information. And frankly, they'd be silly to let any such thing get out there given that other teams could be paying attention too. Huddle hissy fits aside, the fans will ultimately get behind whoever the team picks, including the people who actually silly and proclaim they'll stop being a fan.

News? Yeah. Wouldn't put this in that category, but...

Breer makes a point that definitely applies here...

You forgot the Liam Coen-Thomas Brown connection.

Correct. Regardless of whether or not they have the will to say no, they don't have the power. That said, I don't think it would be necessary because all indications (and all sources not wrapped in a tinfall hat) have said the decision is theirs. Tepper himself admits he's not a football scout and has stated that he's not going to try to do their job.

Lady Cowboy Fan hates that gimmick

Based on the sources, the only bet I would make is one that these stories are horsesh-t. They're trying to make money on some sucker bets.

Any amount of time spent reading this thread...WASTED

Honestly, no. (which is pretty bad)

Rozelle was smiling for a reason

Question to the mods: Do these posts have a word or character limit?

Guessing the pressure to get this completed came from the top. It was reported a while back that the Jets front office and coaches preferred to go with Derek Carr, but Woody Johnson wanted Rodgers so they all had to go along. (not exactly out of character for Johnson)

No it isn't

Multiple sources... I noticed my Twitter notifications were suddenly coming rapid fire so I decided to take a look

In New York? He'll get it.

I'm gonna go out on a lamb and predict that the Aaron Rodgers trade will get done before the draft

Seeing word that the Rofgers trade is finalized

Well on that, I agree with you

So it's just an impression. There's nothing to actually back it up at this point.

Has anyone made a statement indicating that Levis doesn't work hard?

So basically, you're making sh-t up because you've got nothing to support your point. Thought so...

There's a pretty wide gulf between being in on the discussion and having final say on the decision.

Which one does this fall under?

You of course have specific links to support this?
