Chili Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 10 minutes ago, MacReady said: Why is everyone laughing at this pick? This is literally straight from the Packers playbook and it brought us Rodgers/Love/Favre. Three consecutive elite quarterbacks. Is it just the player? Penix is 24 and Cousins has a 4 year contract. At least Love was only 21 when he was drafted. At pick number 8 that is a very expensive contract to backup Cousins who's also on a massive contract. Its not a good use of salary cap space. They're trying to copy us which is fine but they're going about it the wrong way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust your scouts and evaluators. Obviously you could be correct and McCarthy turns out to be the better QB - but better to draft with conviction you got your guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 If I had to rate the odds for the quarterbacks so far: JJ McCarthy Drake Maye Michael Penix Jr Jayden Daniels Caleb Williams JJ McCarthy is going to a great situation. Better if Darnold starts the year for the Vikings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like the chances with the younger guy sitting and watching more than the older guy. I actually think they both bust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't let anyone forget that Rodgers got hurt because he didn't do what the play called for, which would have resulted in an easy ten yard completion and first down and instead tried to sabotage a play he didn't like by extending a play that was designed specifically to be a quick hitter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampfgeist Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Anyone remember what the Vikings traded earlier to get #23? Trade thoughts now that they got JJ at 10 without using that #23? Edited April 26 by Kampfgeist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By getting a player with a crazy injury history. I can see the points against that move now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
