Kinetic 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 This was discussed on a previous page. I am not a member of any NFL front office, nor can I so much as manage a mock draft, but what I would do is sign a veteran QB on the cheap to back up Aaron Rodgers and then draft a guy with some upside on the 2nd day. The guys they have behind Rodgers now were fine when you knew that there was no way they were ever going to get on the field. But only having one layer of separation between Craig Nall and your starting QB spot is bad news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Did I miss something? How is Javon Walker a bad news signing now? It's not necessarily the player, but the contract. Walker is overmatched as a no.1 receiver and he's getting $16 million guaranteed. By comparison, that's more than Randy Moss got. The Raiders are just throwing money at marginal players with no plan to speak of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 I don't know, I think Walker is better than Bernard Berrian, and Berrian got that same 16 million guaranteed. It seems that's the going rate for a #1 WR now, Moss just (stupidly) took less money to be in New England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beastalentier Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Bernard Berrian makes more money than Randy Moss. Hm. So when does the league investigate Matt Walsh and the Patriots? After the draft, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 I doubt Favre was the last guy. I'm sure the Packers have signed Atlanta QBs as backups to Favre at one point or other with the amount of turnover each season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Nope, believe it. Favre was the last guy to go directly to the Packers from the Falcons. His backups have been pretty stable over the years. Doug Pederson and Craig Nall were his backups forEVER. There was also Mark Brunell, Aaron Brooks, Tim Couch, and Akili Smith all there at one point, until Rodgers was drafted then he was the backup with various guys at 3rd string.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 6, 2008 Yeah I didn't include Hasselbeck because everyone knows that, so I was trying to think of more obscure ones, but Brody finished it off for me. Heh, I almost completely forgot about O'Sullivan- the guy we traded our starting cornerback for. Just look at the guy's face- What a douche. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beastalentier Report post Posted March 6, 2008 Lovie Smith has added growing facial hair to his list of ill-advised decisions. He looks like some homeless guy hanging out by Water Tower Place yelling at people into a megaphone about how the federal government is preventing Jesus Christ from bringing his spaceship into our atmosphere, or, crazier yet, that Rex is our quarterback.
