Yes, he has a rep for being a dick--even in his own family--but he gets Green Bay to the playoffs.  Reminds me of the Marino swagger--I hated that guy.

I remember reading about a player who idolized Marino growing up. Then he got to the NFL, got to play against Marino, saw how he acted on the field and got over it.

Remember Deems Maye?  He was playing with the Chargers and was injured when they were in the Super Bowl in Miami. I spoke to him in the spring following that game on the golf course at Uwharrie Point.  He went to the game, and was partying at Marino's house--he said he had never met him and was a bit in awe of him--then he said he'd never been around a person with a stronger case of narcissism and entitlement.

My sister's a big fan because of his work with autism. Years back, he sent her an autographed football to raffle off for a fundraiser.

Kudos for all that but yeah, he's still a dick.

The best thing to do is sit tight and see what falls to us.  Then have a plan.

However, if you could get a Watson for CMC and Shaq and maybe a second rounder, you make that trade and trade #8 back for more picks in the 18-40 range.

 

Lol no way you could get Watson for that

Maybe a 3rd or 2022 2nd. Reports are that he hasn’t even looked good enough so far to be the #2 QB in Green Bay. Their beat reporter said even if Rodgers was released/traded this offseason his guess it that Love wouldn’t start. He was a late 1st round pick as it is and a year of his cheap contract has been used up. Combined with the reports on his progress so far, I don’t think we should consider this unless it’s for a price that makes GB look retarded (I.e. won’t happen).

You should probably do that but that's not a realistic trade.

Rodgers in the past 2 weeks or so:

Loses the NFC game because he can't make a play in the red zone on 3 downs--blames his coach for not going for it on fourth--in the media.

Hints to reporters that he may not be in Green Bay next year--using vague, "try to figure me out" ambiguous, intentionally-misleading, attention-getting language.

Now wants the team to commit to him and rid themselves of the backup (probably because he knows that backup is him 12 years ago--sitting behind Favre.)

Why would you trade the #8 pick for a guy who would be the 6th QB taken in THIS years draft. JL is horrendous, he's their third stringer. 

I shouldn’t have posted 1st round pick, it could have been any pic. For the record I don’t believe we should do this, like I stated in the original post, it is just for discussion. Even a 2nd round pick was just a topic for discussion.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
