I think they should take the guy that they think is best regardless of who the media thinks is the best, or who the fans think it will be. But yeah, if they’re gonna take Levis they should have done something to cool the Young hype and clue us in.

Based on that, and on the reports that the team didn’t want the fan base to be blindsided, I still think it’s Young. All their breadcrumbs have pointed to Young as you said. But if not, just lol.

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.

Dude Will Levis told his family he was going #1. Don't you read the news?

News? Yeah.

Wouldn't put this in that category, but...

There is a very large crumb trail on the huddle of why Levis from my postings. I will share bullets real quick, but I will not go into depth conversation about them because I have already done so in many other threads.

1. Fast release/Great upper body control

2. Stability through his hips and weight distribution in his throwing motion (easy off platform throws)
3. Played in 3 different pro systems already (2 NFL OCs)

4. Second most athletic QB in this draft behind AR
5. Strongest arm in this draft 

6. 2nd highest S2 score... on par with Burrow

7. He still led KY to a winning season with the basement talent they had and his injuries

8. Highest drop rate of catcheable balls from any of the QBs. This contributes to the stats not looking as good as they could

9. Clutch in 4th qtr and OT

You forgot the Liam Coen-Thomas Brown connection.

Tepper is the owner and signs their checks.  If he wants them to do something they either convince him otherwise or do what he says.

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.

We will Acknowledge Will Levis as our new Tribal Chief.

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

Was there something wrong with Matt Rhule?

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)

Thread on this or Twitter?

Multiple sources...

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

Finally the rodgers saga is over. That dude desperately needs attention. 

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

Ain't nobody making clips or keeping tape of PJ Washington playing preseason football.

Well on that, I agree with you

Just now, LinvilleGorge said:

I've made the statement that I get the impression that he's cocky implying that I think there's a good chance that he won't.

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

5 minutes ago, LinvilleGorge said:

Marketer. All I care about is are you gonna put in the work required?  That's it for me. That's the line between cocky and confident. If you realize that you have to work your ass off to achieve greatness there's humility in that realization even if you're brash and hold in your outward persona.

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

You'll have to trust me. 

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

Thought so...

Those that don’t think Tepp is in on the decision are foolish. 

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

9 hours ago, LinvilleGorge said:

There's a difference between cocky and confident. The difference IMO is the realization that you still gonna have to work your ass off and put you all into it to be great. The cocky guys think they're just too damn good to possibly fail.

Which one does this fall under?

PJ barely made it out of camp alive, you didn't see him get twisted up behind that 2nd string line?

You of course have specific links to support this?
