Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Namath's still alive. He's plucky.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I think the Packers finish last in the NFC North without Favre considering they'll have to play a first place schedule in 08.
packwingfn Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Do the Packers draft a QB in the early rounds this day? or Do they pick up a FA qb to back up Rodgers (since he is injury-prone) so far?
bob_barron Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I think Favre's retirement deserves its own thread
CanadianChris Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Namath's still alive. He's plastered. Fixed.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 No way they sign an even slightly costly FA QB. Don't be surprised to see them claim someone with a little experience off waivers. David Carr, maybe? Worst case scenario, maybe.
packwingfn Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Thats all I meant...no way would they take Culpepper or Leftwich (both are injury-prone too) so Carr would be fine as a backup.
Kinetic Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 David Carr is awful. Leftwich or Culpepper would be better additions, in my opinion. It'd probably be wise for them to use a 2nd day pick on a QB.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Nah, I think they should take Carr. Start him, even.
packwingfn Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Leftwich/Culpepper would probably cost more money (not positive). And yea I believe they would be better drafting a QB in the 2nd day than taking Carr
Kinetic Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Behind Rodgers, they've got Craig Nall and someone called Dalton Bell on their depth chart. So they clearly need to acquire a QB with some experience to back Rodgers up and then draft a guy. David Carr may not be in the league next year, he was so bad in Carolina. There's almost no market for Culpepper right now, so he wouldn't be particularly costly. It just seems like a better move to me. EDIT: You know what, the Bucs play Green Bay next year. I'm with Agent. Sign and start David Carr.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I think they should give Rodgers a chance... I mean you can't have him sit behind Favre for all these years just for nothing. He knows the system better then anyone who they will sign and draft. I would say sign Trent Green as an insurence policy.
Bruiser_Brody_ Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 green signed with Washington this week I think
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I made the same point EHME said a while back, earlier in this thread. Rodgers signed a five year contract as a rookie, and has spent three of those five years sitting behind Favre. One more season, and then Rodgers would become a hell of an expensive salary cap hit if he's as good as he's looked in small flashes. But, on the bright side, this is going to clear up a LOT of salary cap space.
2GOLD Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Trent Green isn't a insurance policy. He's a IR waiting to happen.
Guest Beastalentier Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Second-hand underground news regarding Cedric Benson: Word is the leg injury was pretty serious and they fear he's going to lose a step. If that happens he can't play in the league. Benson is a decent kid. He's not evil or anything. It's just that football doesn't mean enough to him. He viewed getting to the NFL as achieving his goal and is just one of those guys who kind of retired once he got the money. He doesn't work hard enough to succeed in the NFL and people around the league know it. Mendenhall's looking like a virtual certainty to me.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 green signed with Washington this week I think I thought the Skins resigned Collins?
CanadianChris Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Washington did resign Collins. Green hasn't signed anywhere yet.
yankovic fan Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Trent Green supposedly visited with the Saints, I seen on some random blotter today, forgive the source lack. Jaime Martin is a free agent (good) and I really like Tyler Palko's potential. I really am not in favor of having a walking calamity in my teams clutches. Hopefully Sean Payton will be more QB smart than that.
UZI Suicide Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 I'm shocked that Favre actually retired. Will the NFL do the right thing and make every team wear a #4 on their helmets this season?
Guest Beastalentier Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 I'm not totally convinced that Brett Favre wouldn't be wearing a #4 sticker on his helmet in 2008, though.
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 While riding his lawn mower in Mississippi? I'm pretty sure if it's for real. He's not Football Clemens. He's had plenty of time to think about this and doing it.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Namath's still alive. He's pickled. Alcohol IS a preservative after all. Further FTFY.
tominator89 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Javon Walker to the Raiders. 6 years, 55 million. 16 million guaranteed.
UZI Suicide Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Does this look like a man that would make a stupid free agent signing?
Cheech Tremendous Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Daaaaamn. That's stupid. You know how in the other thread we were listing the worst moment as a fan for our favorite teams? I wanted to do something for the Raiders but I would have to just keep updating it every day and I don't have that kind of time.
