Erin being himself, i.e. a big D. Reading he's still holding up the deal. Too bad the Jets didn't just tell him 'no thanks' after all hus games and signed Jimmy G.

Rodgers probably wants to wait to decide til a time when it will make the most headlines. He doesn't want to share the spotlight with the free agent frenzy. He is a diva after all

Allen Lazzard signed by the Jets because His Eriness wanted this before committing: 4 years, $44M. Heard he wants Randall Cobb and 986 year old Mercedes Lewis also.

Fuck off forever, Rodgers.

We've been waiting for this since Brett Favre started killing it. Those assholes have had 30 years of HOF QB play and it had to end at some point. If Love turns out to be another great one (I highly, highly doubt it), then I think I'll just go find a nice bridge to jump off somewhere.

Lost a bet that the Bears wouldn't trade #1 overall, so I "pony"'d up. Never been so happy to be so wrong. :D

I hate to be Debbie Downer.

Why do you think Love will suck?

Very raw coming out, hardly any playing time in the pros. The odds are high that his first year at least is going to be bumpy and hopefully it lasts.

That would be nice, I'll give you that. I think that's pretty improbable, though.

Not really. The success rate for QBs in the league isn't high, probably less than 50%. Here's hoping (Davis) Love lives down to that.

I guess it mostly boils down to me trusting Gutekunst and LaFleur more than you do... :D

They are sharp guys. I'm sure LaFleur will modify the offense to address Love essentially being a newbie, simpliefied.

They also lack talent - I am optimistic this ends badly

Magically the 20+ year "conspiracy" will end too - odd

Erin could bring out the talent in his WRs. We'll see if Love has that magic but I'm doubting he does.

Well that would be a nice outcome all right. :|
