    I am a bit older than most posters here LA ...I am in my 60s but I take care of myself jog everyday do some free weight (but I dont take Balance of Nature aha just regular vitamins )

    So I am feeling pretty pretty pretty good

    Now I am NOT a pro athlete and I would imagine a 39 year old all pro will do just fine considering his peers Payton and Tom excelled as they continued playing smh

    There’s an argument for both sides, we’ll just have to see how it plays out this year. You could say he’s 40 coming off his worst year and he’ll continue to trend down, or you could say he’s one year removed from back to back mvps and last years down year could be because he had all rookie receivers and no real weapons on offense. We’ll see

    Does Trey Lance actually play football? He barely played football in college and lasted 2 games in the NFL so far in 2 years. He’d cost at least 2 first rounders. Honestly in a long list of awful Jets moves, giving up picks for Trey Lance might be the most Jetsiest move ever.

    Rodgers also has typically thrown the hardest ball in football. He wants it inflated to maximum pressure to counteract the deflation effect from cold weather.

    His receivers have needed to have very good hands to hold onto his throws because the ball is rock hard. This is also one of the reasons he throws so few interceptions. Defenders can't get the one handed sticks against him and they have almost no chance if they turn their heads late because the ball is right there and it is hard to hold onto.

    It'll be interesting to see how he wants the football prepared in the north east, which while cold is nowhere near the mid-western chill in November and December.

    The other thing is that Corey Davis might not be the right receiver for Rodgers. He doesn't have particularly good hands.

    I’m not sure how not fully buying into PFF equates to not watching football. PFF is not some objective source. It’s a bunch of random guys grading football players subjectively on plays. Most of these guys have no professional football training and I’d bet my life a lot of them have no professional statistical training either. It’s a good resource for stuff but its value is overly inflated imo. Just look at that tool PFFgeorge or whoever who mocked the Breece pick among other amazing takes.

    SF is 4 million over the cap. How are they clearing 20 million to fit that contract this year (and god knows what it balloons to next year).

    He wouldn’t cost two first rounders but any team giving up something for Trey Lance is not a serious team.

    Yes, imagine if the Jets gave up anything for Lance after having not only passed on him in the draft, but reportedly turned down a large offer from SF to trade up. Irony falls far short of describing that idiocy. It would rank up (down?) there with the all time worst moves made in sports.

    I was just messing with you. I'm not a grammar police type of person, especially since I'm the typo Queen of the free world. We had a guy on here back in the day, JetsIn2004. We all know how that went, meaning 2004 came and went. Then we had someone (I know who it was, but I don't dime) who had JetsIn2024 as a handle. That's probably going to turn out to be a Miss Cleo prediction as well, but it was meant as sarcasm, anyway. That was in 2006, haha. We still have 2 seasons to go! :oops:

    I was born in Torino Italy, grew up playing football (soccer) so I can really relate to that.

    Guys. Had to delete bunch of posts. No personal attacks please. Don't want to ban anybody before the draft. Please use ignore feature for posts you don't want to see.

    You can’t ask someone who doesn’t watch football football related questions.

    It used to be that ignore would entirely mask a response--now I can still see the avatar of the dumbass I ignore and that kind of kills the purpose since I don't want him/her existing in my world lol

    Time to taker a deep breath. I for one think that when someone calls AR last season mediocre, well, its important to put it in perspective as to in reference to what. It was mediocre based on AR prior standards no doubt, broken thumb and all, and I'm sure he would agree. But in the aggregate, his worst year statistically was probably more effective than 75% of the starting QBs starting in 2022. Ill take it that in a heart beat.

    Are we really worrying that we don't know what AR we will get this year? Even if last years performance is his ceiling moving forward, which I seriously doubt, Ill take that in a nano second. I f you watched him at all last year, you would have seen the AR of old, more often than not, with a shit load of amazing throws. Did he force a bunch, hell yes, did he play hurt, hell yes, did the thumb bother him, hell yes, but in the end he was the AR of old leading a team not as capable as years past..
    Have we forgotten last season already? We won 7 games behind a special D that kept the score close all season long, something AR did not have in GB. Offensively we rode the wave on the shoulders of a rookie stud WR and a rookie stud RB for half that season. Add a decimated OL with Injuries to 2/3 of the staring line up. . Yet the biggest irony of all is that if that wasn't enough, we played behind undeniably the worst combined QB performance amongst the 32 NFL teams.. By a land slide. We faced the top QBs in the league and match it with our dismal QB performance yet we where always in the hunt For Gods sake AR blind folded can make this team a competitive force to reckon with.

    We can come up with excuses all day long, that we need another safety, a LB, a LT. a center, Blah blah blah, like if the rest of the competition does not have holes. . What this team has desperately needed first and foremost is a QB they can rally behind, and I can assure everyone else will elevate their game. This team will be competitive as hell and if healthy, able to to go in to the post season with confidence.
    A so called mediocre AR season in my opinion is a better choice than all the other options we considered.
    If we get him, is not AR we should worry about, but how does the CS leverages his talents and maximize it with a solid game plan strategy. . The spot light will be on the CS.

    that's actually incorrect. Rodgers QB rating last season was 91.1 placing him 15th in the league among starting QBs.

    I don't disagree with a lot of your post though and if Rodgers was a free agent, hell yeah, working out a favorable deal with the 15th best QB who brings experience would be a good, short term option IMO...

    But he's not a free agent, he's already got a contract making him the NFL's highest paid QB next season AND GB is asking for a return on top of that.
