Rodgers Signing with Black n’ Gold

[Badcat]

I seriously disagree with some of that. Quite a few of those nopes should be maybes at worst. CB, ILB and DL could be well on their way to being there on defense. On offense I think RB and TE may well get there and possibly line over the next couple years. They won't all get there but we have made good investments in all of them. TE, ILB and CB may be there this year.

I live in a black and white world, it's either good enough or it isn't. I don't have time for wishy washy "maybe's", man!

Nope. Just that the Swing Tackle back up is the missing piece for our ultimate goal.....


Edit: has to be a "legit" swing tackle of course.

Well we have one in Anderson. I think he stinks. Thats why "Legit". **** off.

Calvin? I think he has some value. Had he not had the malaria incident he may be a starter for the Patriots.

pats cut him and when chuks went awol, they didnt even try to bring him back.

You stated you didn't cherry pick stats. I simply compared Harris who everyone complained the reason he got 1000 yards was because of the number of carries. Everyone referred to his 4 yard average.

Rodgers threw a high number of times. His yards per pass was among the lowest of lows last season.

I personally thought it was a good comparison.

Sometimes cherry picking is delicious.

Rodgers had a 6.67 YPA last year. Patrick Mahomes' YPA was 6.76, also "among the lowest of the low." So was Bo Nix's, which was actually even lower than AR at 6.66.

Mahomes was 6th in the league MVP vote. Nix was 3rd for offensive rookie of the year. Rodgers played for the Jets. People cherry-pick stats, but they shouldn't be interpreted in a vacuum.

It can be argued, it may be very hard to do it, but you can if you want.

I don't want, because it would be ludicrous.

My question for you is this. HYPOTHETICALLY, if Rodgers gets you pick 20 in the 26 Draft, and Rudolph gets you pick 12, going forward what is better for the team?

I think that the last time the Steelers had a pick at #12 or lower, they pissed it (and more draft capital, in fact) away on Devin Bush. Was that better for the team?

Keep in mind these things
MANY say that neither is the answer going forward
The Money spent on Rodgers could go to other needs or carried forward to help next years cap

Obviously, neither a guy who will turn 42 in December nor a guy with a career passer rating below 85 who turns 30 in July is the answer going forward.

However, Rodgers at a very reasonable price was the most viable answer for THIS season. You can either complain about it, or sit back and try to enjoy whatever happiness he can provide.
