They could have also put a bullet in his head and pants him so technically, it could have been worse. But I still maintain it was pretty awful to fire a long time coach who led the team to many wins with four games left. It's not like they were going to gain or lose much by switching coaches mid season. 5 hours ago, KillingAdam said: So who comes across as the bigger stinkier sack of stinky dicks, Rogers or McCarthy? Rodgers is going to be with the one with the most pressure. If he plays well the next few years, the criticisms against him will fade into the background. If he continues to not play up to his potential, they will only increase. Link to comment

The reason I mentioned 1978 was because that was the year the Jets switched to the Kelly Green uni's with new logos. Those were the Jets I grew up with. This new look reminds me of that. I hated when they switched back to the SB/Namath-style uniforms. To each their own. Regardless, I've been a Panthers fan for the past 25 years, and the Jets are now a distant 2nd in my fandom. So I'm not a typical Jets fan. Link to comment
bosawks April 9, 2019 Share April 9, 2019 (edited) My impression of the Rodgers/McCarthy kerfuffle is that it's really nice if your QB is a leader of men but that's not necessarily what you're paying him for while you are paying your head coach to be a leader of men. It might be a part of Rodgers job and being a better one might mean he does a better job but it is McCarthy's job. Edited April 9, 2019 by bosawks Link to comment

As Rodgers pointed out it is ALWAYS Greg Jennings and Jermichael Finley who are interviewed/quoted for this type of article. Davante Adams said no one asked him, or James Jones, or Randall Cobb, or Jordy Nelson what they thought of Aaron Rodgers. Greg Jennings thinks that Rodgers is the reason that the Packers didn't sign him and shitting on Rodgers seems to be the only thing that gets Finley attention. If the Packers let Rodgers decide who his receivers will be, Jordy Nelson never would have played for the Raiders last year and Randall Cobb currently wouldn't be with Dallas. The one issue brought up in the article which I think a lot of Packers fans agree with is that Mark Murphy was a year or two late in pushing Ted Thompson into retirement. Ted's refusal to dip a toe into free agency was very frustrating, his last few drafts had been disappointing, and it was clear he was having some health/aging issues. The jury is still out on Gutekunst, but having someone who is able to stay awake during the day has got to be a plus. 3 Link to comment

Congrats on securing that contract, Russell. He's not over the hill, but he's no spring chicken, either. I think Ciara gets a bad wrap. Sure, she's had very public breakups and baby daddy drama. But it doesn't seem like she seeks that kind of publicity. She has her own career and her own money, although I'm sure Russell's money doesn't hurt, either.

Russell can't seem to take a picture without her, and that's my main beef with him/her. My original post was about Ciara because it was related to Russell Wilson, but I'd also throw in Giselle as someone I wish would go sit down somewhere.

Crs97 April 17, 2019 Share April 17, 2019 Yes to Giselle taking a seat. When the Aaron Rodgers story was published and he hotly denied it, some commentators were criticizing Aaron by saying that Tom Brady wouldn’t speak out like that. I found myself thinking of course he wouldn’t do it himself because Giselle would do it for him. 3 3 Link to comment
mojoween April 19, 2019 Share April 19, 2019 ESPN played a sound bite from Adam Schefter where he said the Cardinals will likely move on from Josh Rosen. What a terrible way to characterize that. Rosen isn’t two surgeries Peyton Manning who the Colts thought was done. Rosen had one year under a new coaching staff and an o-line that was a sieve. The kid didn’t have a chance. Basically the Cards married young, then a younger, hotter piece of ass winked at them and they were smitten so they dumped their first wife.

ae2 April 20, 2019 Share April 20, 2019 I'm more and more convinced the Murray to the Cardinals hype has all been a smokescreen. I have no reason to believe this other than a hunch (but then again, I'm not a so called journalist or analyst talking to sources and getting paid to spout this nonsense). I think their goal was to convince other teams that he was their pick in an attempt to get either the Raiders at 4 or the Giants at 6 to trade up with them. There's still a chance this happens with Oakland but I don't see NY making the trade. Maybe if they manage to get a mid-range first round pick offered for Rosen they might decide it's worth going for Murray, but I'm not sure this is something Arizona ever expected to actually happen. This is a weird draft. I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those rare ones where we don't see QBs fall off the board right away, but I also wouldn't be surprised if 3 QBs went in the top 10. As a Giants fan I'm hoping both two go before our #6 pick so that we get a better defensive player. 2 Link to comment
MarkHB April 21, 2019 Share April 21, 2019 Wouldn't Bears-Cardinals be the older rivalry, particularly since the Cards started in Chicago before the Bears? Of course, then you run into the problem of comparatively few people actually caring about the Cardinals. More entertainingly...

Most swore they’d be picking Sam Darnold, and a few said Josh Allen. I hope - for Kyler’s sake - the Cardinals don’t pick him. He’ll be crippled behind that O-Line (which isn’t much better) due to his slight size. They’d be better off going w/Nick Bosa or Quinlan Williams or the other Josh Allen. Link to comment

Other players and Coach Tomlin take the brunt of the blame for the team's lack of success. I don't think he's a horrible quarterback, but his best playing days are certainly behind him. Similarly, Aaron Rodgers takes a lot of heat for tension in the locker room or the Packers' lack of success. I don't know the truth behind the locker room talk, but I do know that Ben rarely gets criticized by the media for throwing his teammates under the bus in interviews or on podcasts. 4 Link to comment
