Here's the thing I love about Emery. When he sees a problem or deficiency, he attacks it via multiple angles. He doesn't just sign one FA, he drafts the position as well.

 

I think the Trestman/Emery duo are going to have a fantastic run in Chicago.

The Packers have won more Super Bowls since 1985 then Jay Cutler has games against the Packers as a Bore. You infidels are currently on your own island by your own accord. You brought this upon yourselves and your mewling and pleading will not change the fact that the bed you have made will be slept in.

 

Drink it in, gentlemen, the tab is on the house and you have earned it.

Maybe if Rodgers had to listen to several years of 'When are they going to draft Rodger's replacement', and then they pick a guy in the 1st round, and he is constantly asked about helping the guy. Maybe Aaron would be sharp with a response after all of that. Otherwise the situations are not even close.

Love the Hundley pick.  As usual, most in the media overrated all of the QBs after the top 2, so while most thought he "dropped", TT got a solid prospect exactly where he should have gotten him, in the latter half of the draft.  

 

Hundley has the tools but lacks the pocket presence, anticipation and awareness that QBs need in the NFL.  I watched him a bit in the PAC 12 and it was clear that he is extremely raw.  He was thrown into a starting role pretty quick in college career (redshirt freshman) and likely was never taught how to play QB correctly by Jim Mora (who is a defensive coach - no track record of developing QBs).  I'm hoping that a few years of learning the position from a real teacher will fix those issues but who knows.  It's a risk but a good one to take in the 5th round.  

forgive me for hyperbole.  

 

Farve did bring up retirement prior to Ted drafting Rodgers.  In my opinion, once a player starts talking retirement, finding a replacement is a good idea.  Regardless of your feeling on Favre, Ted made the right call finding another guy.  Favre had nothing to complain about, he had a part in that play because he was talking about calling it quits.  

 

Once Rodgers was part of the team, what special privileges does Favre have to not work for the benefit of the team?  You hear all the time about vets mentoring younger players players, but because Favre had his feelings hurt, he got to behave different and it was OK?  

 

Favre was ****ty about the whole thing and much of it was his own doing.

Drafted by the Pack (Wolf) and traded for some picks to the Saints. Early education from the school of M1. Built the foundation.


       
Ray Rhodes was the coach the year he was drafted, M3 was RR QB coach, Holmy had nothing to do with Brooks whatsoever

Sure. Clears it up that Favre did not talk in any serious manner about retirement prior to the drafting of AR.

guess I was wrong again

 

Lets pretend we live in a world where Favre didn't tell Peter King he was thinking about retirement.  Never actually said the words.  Never implied it inside or outside the Packer organization.  For funsies.  

 

It still doesn't give him permission to be a ****ty teammate and not a team player.  No circumstance exists that justifies him being an ass.
