    Yes, until he's released or they basically give him to us for nothing (which would have been Friday probably). They couldn't keep him on the roster and he wasn't willing to go anywhere else.

    After this debacle, two #1s for Lamar is now looking like a steal.

    If we don’t win it with the diva and the Johnson family owns this team in 20 years, you’ll be there.

    We only have a second because we traded away a former second round pick In Elijah Moore. Moving down two spots at the spot Is fairly significant trade value as well. It also further limits our options obviously.

    It also doesn't help us at all next year where we will NEED a fucking QB If Rodgers does retire.

    I appreciate the way you worded it as If we didn't just give them a 1st and 2nd round pick, plus.

    ...but we did.

    I can fucking guaranty that all this overpaid BS anger will be a fart in the wind if AR catapults us into playoff contention and giving up the first pick in 2024 will be meaningless if he plays two years at a high level. Wake me up after Zach and Co sit behind a HOF for a year or two and watch how it is done in the NFL. With this draft we will be pretty close to a complete win now team.

    Zzzzz, wha . . . ? Oh, that flake. Whatever. I got bored of it as soon as it started. Wake me up when he does something. Over/Under we have to hear Flake Man at least once a week say something defensive and ultra-flaky with some extra defensiveness and a side order of flake and a Supersized Chai Flake. I wish there was a dandruff shampoo for that, hose him with it . . . better yet shove him in a carwash. Without the car.

    Alright, all kidding aside . . . I wasn't kidding. If it works out more than Aaron Rogers flaking out in the POs, than I will salute Sir Flake. Maybe. C'mon, we all know he's gonna choke. I'm leaving that there for posterity. IN CASE I'M WRONG.

    Here are the facts:

    We have the 15th pick this year
    We have the 43rd pick this year
    We have either a first or second next year plus one pick in each round

    On no planet is that going all in, which is what you said, which is what I replied to.

    When was Lamar available for two #1s?

    He’s on the non-exclusive tag currently, which means anyone could sign him to a deal and only give up 2 1’s to get him.

    Fact: There is no way to tell if the trade was good or bad till after next year. If we go to the AFC CC game, SB or he plays multiple years it was a great trade, if we lose in the first round, Rodgers retires and we give up a first it was a terrible trade. For now though, LFG!!!!!

    The nightmare is over. Famous last words. It might just be beginning.

    What I said was facts as well. Just because you want to dismiss It doesn't make It any less so.

    This Is an All In type of move because it Is a lot of fucking compensation for a QB that Is 40 years old and on the way out. You don't make this type of move for this old of a QB, for that much fucking draft compensation, without It reeking of a desperate ALL IN move In an attempt to save their jobs.

    This sure as fuck wasn't a move made for the future, now was It?

    For everyone saying JD got fleeced, what did you expect the comp to look like? A 4 this year and a conditional 4 next year??

    On it’s face, this trade is exactly what I thought it would be: 42 or 43, and a conditional pick next year that can escalate up to a 1st. All the rest is just fluff. Do I wish the conditions were steeper and we didn’t swap 13 for 15? Sure but anyone throwing a hissy fit over, checks the draft value chart, a late 3rd-early 4th is just complaining to complain.

    I didn’t dismiss any facts. I very specifically dismissed one thing: the incorrect notion that we went all in. Because we didn’t.

    That's your opinion. Doesn't make It a fact! Vice versa.

    Subjective.

    I clearly disagree.

    How can a team go all in yet also have almost a full cupboard of picks? Does that mean that every team that’s ever traded a first round pick went “all in”? Make it make sense to me. Please.

    And the sad thing is I have been right forever.

    I'll say the same thing I said about the ZW pick: I hate it and I think the Jets screwed the pooch but I hope I am wrong.
