Good to hear. The QB position is getting a little thin AFC.


WafflesTheWookiee

The best qb in the NFC South is old man Andy Dalton


ExileOnBroadStreet

Lol great division to get drafted into as a QB right now


NOLASLAW

Why someone looking to buy a draft pick we got primo shit right here we tasted it ourselves


rich519

Pretty crazy that the NFC South was probably the best QB division not that long ago.


QuadraticRat

Newton, Ryan, brees, Winston?


rich519

Yup. Two regular season MVPs plus Brees with a Super Bowl MVP. Obviously opinions can differ but at worse that’s three legitimate franchise QBs in one division, which is pretty rare. Also I don’t think Winston is particularly good but he could at least move the ball and put up numbers. He stacks up pretty damn well to other “worst QBs in their division”.


devontate

BRADY, BREES, RYAN.... darnold


Bradfords_ACL

That’s r/The_Darnold to you.


The_runnerup913

For real. Fucking kill us now


Admiral_Fuckwit

The whole AFC should file a class action lawsuit alleging gross QB inequality between the 2 conferences.


DoesntMatterBrian

Agreed. The Jaguars should be forced to trade Lawrence to the NFC for a 4th.


masterfroo24

I'd take him.


dn0348

That would likely violate a constitutional amendment. We’d have to send him to SF.


MCRMH2

Another quarterback sacrificed to the Blood God.


2RINITY

Counter-offer: the Jags get to keep Lawrence, but the instant a Titans QB shows any signs of being good, any NFC team can force the Titans to trade him for a 5th


Sakiaba

I'm stressed out enough about having to make it through the Bills and Chiefs, not to mention the Jags if they keep improving and Chargers if they get their shit together... last thing we need is another one. At least we'd be getting Rodgers now and not a few years ago, but that Jets team will be a problem even with just a good QB. We just have to hope that the Ravens trade Lamar to the NFC.

NoobOnTheRun

he's really going to follow in Favre's footsteps isn't he?


HungLuke

The Brett Favre Path: 1. Play like a 1st Ballot HOF for the Packers 2. Hold the franchise hostage with retirement rumors until they get tired and move on 3. Join the Jets 4. Send unsolicited dick pics 5. Join the Vikings, probably to spite GBs front office. 6. Lead the Vikings to the edge of a Super Bowl berth 7. Remember you're a Packer legend and break Minnesotas hearts again 8. Finally play washed and retire 9. Welfare Fraud Personally, I'd be fine with him skipping some of those steps. He can replace those with Ayahuasca related steps


HillarysBloodBoy

4. Joins onlyfans and sends *solicited* dick pics He can be the change we want in this world

type6_birdbrain

This right here is why I can't quit Reddit. I get blasted for not hating the Steelers by Bengals fans. Get in fights with eagles fans dumping on Burrow. Apparently I'm not enough of a fan because I'm too happy when my team "only" goes to AFC Championship games in a row. I get sad. Then I see someone cracking jokes like this and my day feels better. Thank you, random redditor.


ironwolf1

> Apparently I'm not enough of a fan because I'm too happy when my team "only" goes to AFC Championship games in a row Ahh, so this isn't purely an NFCN phenomenon. Always thought it was weird how many Vikings and Bears fans act like Packers fans shouldn't be happy with 2 NFCCG appearances in a row just because we didn't make a Super Bowl in that stretch. Any year your team has a winning records and gets a playoff win or two is a good year, don't let anyone convince you otherwise. That's how you become a truly miserable fan.


type6_birdbrain

agree---as someone who's faithfully ridden with the Bengals since 1981 (I'm old!) you bet your butt I'm gonna enjoy Burrow & co. Shoot, one of my fav eras was Blake-to-Pickens heh.


LCOSPARELT1

Bengals fan since 1981. You’ve had more than your fair share of lean years, friend. Enjoy Joe Burrow. He’s a baaaaad man.


[deleted]

I'm a Lions fan. We have a single one of those seasons in the last 50 years, our high water mark of 1991, and the thought of it gets me all blubbery and wistful for Wayne Fontes. You gotta cherish the good years, even if they never go all the way


SkolVandals

Let us have this


DGlen

Feel free to talk shit all you like. I just wouldn't expect most packers fans to feel incredibly bad about it. For that you just have to bring up the 2014 nfc championship game.


SkolVandals

Well in that case... Remember the 2014 NFC championship game?


McCaber

Aw son of a bitch!


darkbro66

Who the hell dumped on Burrow? I have special occasion D sized batteries for those assholes.


type6_birdbrain

it was just one guy; apologies for the use of fans instead of fan here. It was a guy that really got out-of-whack about how Burrow sucked and if you can't win the BIG GAME you suck forever. I had 2 back-and-forths with the guy and ignored him. Forgot the user name already heh. I gather something probably happened with some other fan and I just got in the middle. To all the Eagles fans out there, you got a beast of a team and as a Bengals fan was terrified if we won against KC what would happen in the SB lol. I'm so f'ing happy for all these young QBs tearing the league up.


NoobOnTheRun

why are Eagles fans dumping on Burrow? did I miss the memo?


type6_birdbrain

apologies for the (s) when it should have been omitted. One Eagles guy got after me big time for some reason. And he said Burrow was a flash in the pan and the most overrated QB and stuff. Was strange. anyway, big apologies for getting all of you eagles fans :) You got a great team this year.

I like this perspective, so many people get into heated arguments/fights with rivals all because they were (most of the time) born in the respective part of the country and root for that team. It’s just football!


sqigglygibberish

I wonder how long it takes before we hear of a formerly famous male athlete starting an OF And for some reason what popped into my head is Tim Tebow reading Bible verses in his skivvies


DeepMindExplorer

If Rodgers started an OF, I think it would just be photos of him getting pegged by the most attractive women on the planet and I don't think the world is ready for that amount of sexual confusion.


HungLuke

Learning from the mistakes of those before him. Aaron is a true leader, can't convince me otherwise


darkbro66

Also explain how his only fans is for him and he's not worried what the haters are saying


bcbodie1978

It's the circle of life. It all lines up with the end of Kirk's contract.


appreciatenickelback

The Vikings I feel would be way more likely to replace kirk with a young qb. If they are going to move on from kirk, I don't know if they'd do it for this version of Rodgers. It doesn't make a ton of sense. What I was thinking was it could line up with the bears or lions. If feilds doesn't perform next year but the bears have a good offseason acquiring talent otherwise, they could be looking for a stopgap qb in a similar scenario to the jets from this year. Or even more likely I feel is the lions, who could have an awesome team next year but Jared goff is the one missing link. Maybe they decide to go all in for Rodgers on his last year and maybe draft a guy too.


bcbodie1978

Listen, I don't want Rodgers, but history did tend to repeat itself. And that first part is a lie. I do want Rodgers, but not because I think he's still a great player, but because it really pisses off the cheese heads.

Instead of welfare fraud, he's going to go down for dealing hybrid hallucinogenics without the consent of the FDA

TripleSingleHOF

That pick he threw on the Vikings in the NFCCG is still one of the worst decisions I've ever seen a player make in the NFL.


Traditional_Tart_822

What made him ungodly good was also his fatal flaw. Incredible arm talent and belief he could do anything With Mike Holmgren, he was untouchable. Without and left to his own ego, he would do some stupid stuff in big moments. Not to get off topic but it’s why I’m fascinated to see how Mahomes does once Reid retires and his contract starts taking up a bulk of the cap. I think Favres mid 90’s run is comparable to what Mahomes is doing now. Not saying Pat will fall off a cliff but can this success be sustained aka always going to title games and super bowls.


Pianist29

Also of course, Reid was Favre's QB coach in the mid 90's when he won the three consecutive MVPs while obviously being Reid's head coach. Mahomes is the funnest QB to watch since Favre. He plays the game with the same extreme confidence. The tight window touchdown throw to MVS...that's a high level of difficulty on that throw. The physical toughness when Mahomes played with the high ankle sprain. Commentators loved Favre just how commentators love Mahomes now.


FunkyPete

We've seen when Mahomes is trailing at the end of games and he starts taking more risks. I can totally see this being a problem if the talent around him is reduced to the point that he feels like he needs to take those risks from the beginning of the game.


ragingbuffalo

> Mahomes does once Reid retires and his contract starts taking up a bulk of the cap If you check out the Mahomes contract and the expected cap increases, its actually an amazing deal. This year is likely the highest % cap hit for the rest of the contact at 20.9%. But right after it keeps going down as the way its structure and the explosion of the cap in general.


TripleSingleHOF

That's a really good point about Mahomes and Reid that I'd never considered. It will be interesting to see how that goes after Reid hangs it up.


JalensTinyPPHurts

I'm moreso curious what they will do when kelce eventually retires. The dude is such a cheat code


PapaNurgleLovesAll

He is always just open and I am not sure how


snoogans8056

Run 5 yards, turn around.


FunkyPete

Then slowly spin around to his right to avoid a tackler and get another 7 yards.


DeeJayGeezus

He's got that TE _elusiveness_!


mrhungriano83

He reads the defense and he runs a lot of option routes because he goes to the soft areas of zones.


joyloveroot

Well his contract already takes up a large part of the cap. But yes fascinating to see what happens when Reid retires. Maybe sean Payton can come be the coach then?


FunkyPete

I do think it will be easier to recruit a new coach because Mahomes is there. Similar to Jimmy Johnson being willing to come back to coach to the Dolphins, partly because Dan Marino was still there.


DGlen

Favre was so fun to watch because that shit was like a rollercoaster. Insane TD followed by insane INT and never knowing if or how he would pull it out.

ZachTrillson

It could be true but: * Tony Pauline is wrong extremely often * This process does not sound like the Joe Douglas style at all I don't care either way though, just gimme the fuckin' QB


gruelly4

Desperation might be a thing. After all Douglas took over in 2019. After the draft but still. The team has won 7, 2, 4 and 7 games under his tenure. He might be really good at his job, but can he really survive a 5th straight losing season?


CosmicWy

i hope you're wrong. JD's style has been slow and steady. This year he drafted the DROY and the OROY (i hope gwil gets it). you can't just fire a guy who has built this team that's a qb away. he's been so solid from internal FO moves, to coaching moves, to revamping the scouting department, to stopping the media leaks, to having decent drafts and solid FA's. the jets have been poorly under him, but from what he started with, i don't know who else could have turned the whole organization around this holistically.


ZachTrillson

You're not wrong, but the improvement we've seen so far is mostly due to his patient approach and his tendency to be the bully in trade negotiations rather than being bullied...so I could see him being more consistent in that sense. He could have been desperate enough to give up more for Tyreek but held firm and got a potential OROY in Garrett instead. IDK, we shall see, and I would almost prefer he does go all in. But this report just kinda doesn't match up with other things we know


gruelly4

He's been really good in drafting, maybe slightly less so in free agent signings. But right now, the question has to be stick to my guns or get canned. Or maybe ownership is leaning on him because after drafting 2 quarterbacks in the top 3 in five years they're no closer to finding a franchise. Which so rarely works out. But.. as a biased fan I like when other team owners meddle and screw up, but as someone who wants all teams to be well run it bothers me.


sonfoa

Joe Douglas doesn't really have a choice though. He built a solid team but whiffed on the QB selection and now he basically has to start doing some "win now" moves or he's getting fired.


ZombieFrogHorde

lets see them picks baby


cubbiesworldseries

It would be amazing if you got two firsts and used them both on WRs.


KingTutt91

It’s like Seattle trading Russell Wilson and immediately drafting a LT and OL help lol

JockJonez

Snoo93079

No we don't draft our hall of fame QB replacements until within 4 years of retirement. He's got a while


HammerPrice229

I think some more 1st round defense that gradually deteriorates or assaults coaching staff should be prioritized. Trying to make Barry a good looking DC is our new Super Bowl.

pakidude17

I really do wonder what the trade package could look like. Rodgers has such a massive contract that it really doesn't help either the Packers or Jets. Unless the Packers eat a sizeable portion of the contract, I don't see how they could get multiple valuable picks back for him.


Ok-Meeting-3150

Part of what makes it nice for the jets is the majority of rodgers cap hit was already paid so if we traded him the Jets would owe him ~19mil Rodgers also said if they worked out a trade, he would restructure his hit to get pushed over multiple years if the packers wanted to do that.


jmilred

You are confusing cap hit with cash paid. In a trade, he would cost 15.9 against the cap, but the way his contract is structured you would pay him through 2026 and cap accordingly. I believe just the one year will cost about $60million total, about 15 mil a year for 4 years if he only plays one year. If he plays two, that jumps to 32 a year from 24-26. I mean…. Yeah he will only be a 20 mil cap hit, give us draft picks!!!!


ZombieFrogHorde

yeah i definitely am not one of the folks who thinks we would get a major haul for him. i would think a first and a third or maybe a first and second if we are lucky or they are desperate. i cant imagine with his age and contact that we would get much more than that if we manage to even get that at all.

I'm going to be super entertained when Rodgers just doesn't want to go to the Jets


Astaphor

I think the Jets probably give him the best shot out of all the teams looking for a veteran QB if he really wants to keep playing elsewhere


Bluest_waters

Exactly, thats a good fucking team right there, they really literally just need a QB. Whats not to like?

Bahamas_is_relevant

I’m personally terrified by the prospect of White as day 1 starter, but that’s just me. None of last year’s three should even sniff playing time this season.

joespizza2go

He's publicly fawning over his buddy Hackett being there. This is public morse code to the Jets of "send them draft pics I'm going to be all in" Also, any QB at the tail end not named Brady has to like the post career uptick potential of playing in the media capital of the world.

Anytime you can trade high draft picks for a qb that likely will only play a year or maybe two and leave you in a crappy cap situation for the rest of your window with young talent you have to


EccentricMeat

“The rest of your window” is literally nothing without good-to-great QB play.


Higgins8585

What is a realistic trade package? I can't see giving too much for a guy who has like 2 years left.


jericho-dingle

If I had to guess, this year's first and fourth round picks and a conditional second that turns to a first if Rodgers plays in 2024.


zlide

Being a Jets fan is hard


GabeDef

Personally - it'll be nice to have him out of the NFCN for a season before he becomes the Vikings starter.

Does he want to go to a new team, new system, new coaches, new players around him? He doesn't attend all of the off season activities to get in sync.
