"He's played quite a bit and started a bunch of games last year," Carroll said. "... He's big, he runs well, he's got a good arm, he's got good vision of the field, he's made a lot of big throws and big plays.

"He really gives you the thought that he could come in the game and keep it moving. So we thought it was just too good of an opportunity to pass up, and hopefully we'll be able to complete it."

Sounds like Rudy should be saying that!

Only a matter of time before our GM gets picks for trading long dead Packers. That Saints second round pick might come to us for Johnny Blood.

Given that GB had 2 not report, and 3 more functionally retire, GB will have to make sure that reporting for duty - breathing or not - is an exception stipulated in the trade agreement.  But make it in very small type that is embedded in the border of the first page.

Great article on Boyle from Silverstein back in early May.  Quite a sudden change in the types of QB's being acquired/brought in.  Change from TT?  From TT and MM?  From MM?

"Since drafting Rodgers, the young quarterbacks the Packers have attempted to develop have been better in the classroom than on the football field. The club has invested time and effort into quarterbacks who are too short or too slow or too weak-armed to have much of a chance in the NFL."

I'm sure MM was like "Ted, here's what I want in a QB: must be good in the classroom. That's it, I don't care if they can play or are 5'10" with no discernible talent, they basically just need to be an assistant QB coach that helps in the meeting room. Maybe even just bring in some coaching interns as players, doesn't really matter." The change has definitely been TT not picking QBs for him. MM gets to work with actual QBs...no more Brian Brohms, Joe Callahans, Dingle Martins, or Brett Hundleys.

in a different sense, i am really happy that we are able to move on from picks that have not worked out instead of keeping them until death or being fired yourself (mm, i am talking about you) - so i think gutey is really changing the culture around 1265.  getting a 6th is glorius

I'm more excited by the fact it appears McVince hasn't gained any juice in this new setup.  

The fact that trading Hundley for anything more than a bucket of warm spit is astounding. 

The timing of the trades of both Hundley and Bridgewater seem a little strange, at least at face value. I thought teams would have been more likely to wait for the cut-downs to see who was available before trading away any draft picks.
If the Seahawks actually called to inquire about Hundley, I can understand why the trigger was pulled when it was (although I wouldn't have been able to contain the disbelief and excitement in my voice).
I surely don't understand the Saints jacking up next year's draft even further to acquire Teddy B. on any level. 

But, then again, I suppose it illustrates why I'm not a NFL GM.
If I were only Jaymo, why, I bet I could be....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So much this.

Or having them change positions to extract that latent talent Ted was sure was just waiting to be uncovered.

I'm liking all the changes this Gutey guy is making and look forward to some more this weekend.

I don't think trades typically happen like that, with cold calls.  Scouts and personnel people from all teams are always talking.  Some more than others.  While I agree the timing with TB and BH is a bit odd, TB may have been better in SEA than BH.  Teams usually acquire a bubble player this way when they know there are multiple teams interested and that if the player is put to waivers, there is a pecking order to who may claim them.  You spend a low draft pick to guarantee you get the guy rather than hoping he clears enough teams on the waiver to make it to you.

"So, can I have Mack now"?
