Official NN Quarterback Thread 2.0

His last year in Green Bay the team went 13-3 and Favre had a 66.5% completion (highest of his career up till then), threw for 4155 yards (3rd highest at that point), and threw for 28 TD’s and 15 INTs (one of lowest in his career). He has always been an INT machine, but the point is, his last year in Green Bay was DEFINITELY worthy of keeping him on another couple years.

The year they drafted Rodgers, they had finished 10-6, Favre completed 64.1% of his passes and tossed 30 TD’s to 17 INT’s. To say he was washed up, and they NEEDED Rodgers is crazy.

The Packers had a Hall of Fame QB, still playing at a high level, but saw the need, and value of bringing on the heir to the throne if you will. Something the Niners never did. Rodgers was NEVER drafted to hurry Favre out of town, he was taken because he was a steal at that pick, and they knew it’s never a bad thing to have mulitple starting caliber QBs on your team at one time. The Niners on the other hand, wanted to chase any competition at QB out of town.

dragging this crop down, it might be better.

Depending on if some of the juniors declare next year, it’s by far going to be a better class of QB’s in 2012.

He finished the year just BARELY above 50% completion percentage if I remember right. Not accurate.

Troy had 1 great game and came crashing back to Earth FAST.

no one is worth 3 firsts. Unless his name is Peyton Manning.

But even if we do, that guy has a year at LEAST before he helps us on the field. Smith would be at least serviceable next year.

I don’t think we can get Orton or Kolb. I’m not convinced their price tags won’t be crazy. I’d like a Ponder or Devlin or someone, which is a developmental guy, but don’t want to pass on Smith who would be our best option.

If Kolb is available with say a 2nd rounder, I’m all for him, but #7 for Kolb? That’s pushing it. Two 1st rounders, pushing it. Maybe a 2nd and a 6th, but I think even IF we trade for Kolb, we still probably should bring Smith back. I know it’s not likely, because Smith probably wants to hit the road, and probably should, I’m just saying there aren’t a lot of options that are better than him.

I’m not saying that if we bring Smith back, we stop our search. We still need a rookie or even Kolb.

I’d take that. Oh and he has nice suits. I wear a suit to work as well so I can appreciate a good suit. lol

I just wandered over there today out of curiosity, and saw a Front Page “article” where the author qualified one of his points in the comments that was pure Bwah! in reasoning. That would qualify as a Fanpost here, and you and I know that posting on the Front Page requires a lot more pragmatism, objectivity, and a solid idea weighed in facts and sensibility. That also leads to accountability, credibility, and it’s also vital to the integrity of the site we have the opportunity to contribute as Front Page writers.

Bleacher Report on the other hand seems to have contributors who probably used to post inane threads on fan forums, and they can post them as articles there like they do, well, an inane topic on a message board. Even the Fanpost section here has a bit of Moderation (and sometimes not enough given the flood of QB Fanposts the past week or so). Fair enough, I have the choice to browse BR or not, but there is just too much crap to sift through in order to find credible insight or information there. The Palmer article is an example of hyperbolic speculation that oddly enough had similar talking points here on the Fanpost section. Of course, the Palmer speculation was already posted here on th Front Page, but the author from what I remember didn’t put in absolutes or wild speculation of a NFC Championship game if Palmer was signed. Credit to the integrity of Fooch and others here. They kept it reasonable, and they do that with the other rumors and speculation that always happens during the off-season, and this one is worse due to the CBA negotiations.

Now, if this site decides to go in that direction (which I doubt they do), then I would go elsewhere, because what attracted me to this site was the integrity of it, and you are a big part of that with your Draft articles, which are stellar. Those are a lot more credible due to your hard work than an imaginary interview (which unfortunately wasn’t even done as parody) with a player, who still posed the wrong questions combined with poor research in that imaginary interview, LOL.

is that it’s like dropping a $5 bill down an outhouse. You know there’s value there somewhere but it’s just not worth sorting through the crap to get it.
