Bottled water costs about 2000 times more than tap water. Can you imagine paying 2000 times the price of anything else? How about a $ 10,000 sandwich?

So, am I the only one who thinks about key&peele EVERYTIME Zac’s favorite QB A-A-ron Rodgers is mentioned?

Onto the elephant in the room. HOW IN THE EFF IS RANDY GRADISHAR NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME? and lesser players at his position have been selected.

“I’ve got someone else who’s gonna give me more.” All in on George Paton.

My Boys! been a minute since Ive commented, but I had a quick question.

Thinking about some of the guys in a potential Rodgers trade had me curious, where would you rank Jeudy among WRs between last years and this years class? A lot of people were upset that he didnt pop quite enough as a rookie and had a few drops, and his class was fairly strong. Then this year has been hailed as an even stronger class. Anyways thanks for the great content as always my guys, cheers!

Why do you equate Pat Surtain to just one 1st round pick when discussing trade with Packers?

We know the number 9 overall pick is worth, on average, TWO future 1st round picks based on value. Seems like you are underselling his value.

Trading 9 for packers 1st round this year and next year before draft would have been balanced trade – he should still be viewed this way or not included in trade IMO.

Hey guys!

If the Broncos do trade for Aaron Rodgers, do the players we have on offense fit the scheme he would want to run? I think I remember that Matt LeFleur’s system has some West Coast in it, but could we be in a world where players struggle because he’s joining the party later than usual and they don’t have as much time to form chemistry?

hey guys!

so we know there’s reports out there that rodgers is interested in the raiders as well as the broncos but if he was adamant that he wanted to play in denver, could he leverage the packers in a similar way that carson wentz did? if y’all can think back, the bears reportedly offered more than the colts but wentz had made it known that indy was his preferred spot and the bears backed off with the fear that he wouldn’t report

this is also true for matthew stafford. there were numerous reports out there that washington offered a better deal than LA but stafford wanted to be out there with mcvay so the lions took the ‘worse’ offer.

i get that there’s the angle of doing right by the player which might’ve swayed the lions’ decision at least and that might not be the case with gutey if his relationship with rodgers is as sour as it seems to be, but if rodgers really wants to be in denver and let’s it be known that he won’t report to any other team, is it possible that the broncos can get him for a lower cost than we think?

Do you guys think there’s anyway to get a good replacement at RT and still have left over cap incase of a new qb *cough cough* Aaron Rodgers

Right, that’s it, I *beep*ing hate Joe Rowles. I can’t *beep*ing take it anymore. Does that *beep* of a human just sit in his parents spare bedroom all day hammering out *beep* takes on Twitter all day just to hopefully maybe someday be able to retweet something into the twittersphere for a 7 likes and a retweet by some random *beep* head in Colorado Springs? (Nothing against the Springs – great town, great people, I climbed Pikes Peak once – good times).

But back to more pressing matters – seriously – what the actual *beep* mate – “Broncos should have taken a tackle in first round”. My god how much *beep*ing windex you using on those hindsight glasses you *beep*. I’ve had more intellectual thought waft from my *beep*ing cutlery draw for *beep* sake.

Fellas I can’t help it but I keep going back to Schlereth’s tweets from draft night last week regarding Rodgers coming to the Broncos as being “close to a done deal”. That guy has so many connections from around the league. And he really does usually call it like he sees it. He definitely doesn’t sugar coat things or go out of his way to pump up the Broncos. If anything he does the opposite.
So why do you think he was so adamant and certain about the Rodgers deal last week? And from what I’ve seen he hasn’t been backing down from it even though the deal wasn’t really a “done deal”. Or is it?? What are your thoughts on it today?

P.S. we should all be hoping that Jordan Love lights it up in OTAs and shows a firm grasp of the playbook. That is a huge piece to this.

Few things to keep in the back of everybody’s head.

1. Next year‘s tackle class is deep. I took a peek at a way too early mock draft for next year and 7 tackles went in R1… SEVEN!

2. Jurrell Casey is still on the market. Could he be last years Shelby Harris and come back at a discount??

3. Are the Cowboys LBs available for trade? Since they didn’t pick up the option on Leighton Vander Esch I’m assuming he’s the most disposable. Out of the linebackers they have who do you think would be Fangio’s preference? I think it’s Jaylon Smith.

4. Is bolles better than Ryan Ramcyxz.? And as a follow up, Was he last year

For those who balk at the notion of drafting ball carriers in rd 2, you may want to flip your desk-top Far Side calendars back to April 20–21, 2002.

If I am the Packers I’m calling Rodgers bluff. No way this guy wants to retire and not have a shot at the passing records. Just like Watson I don’t really think any trade package they could receive would equal having Rodgers on the field.

Reading the NFL letter regarding the James injury it brought up something I don’t feel has received enough attention, and that’s the NFLPA decision to tell players to skip OTAs. I understand that phase 1 is voluntary and if players choose to sit out it’s their prerogative, however the claims that it’s due to covid risk is 100% BS and their bad advice just cost James millions. I won’t accept players saying they’re worried about covid after an offseason of maskless vacation selfies on social media. And while I understand I’m not a doctor I am still smart enough to know that covid doesn’t select who to infect based on income, so the few players being told to show up by the union to receive workout bonuses blows their claim of covid risk out of the water and makes it look like a dishonest negotiating tactic. If you choose not to show just say it, that’s your right, but lying is a bad look. The players have every right to exercise their rights under the CBA and negotiate for better deals as necessary but they have to be forthcoming about it if they want the fans to support their position, which is important because we pay their paycheck, without fan support the cap lowers, 2020 made that clear.

All that being said. Much respect to the rookies and young players who broke ranks to try and better the team and change the culture, we have some up and coming leaders on the team and I hope Paton takes notice come contract time.

Sorry for the long rant, hope everyone has an awesome week,

Hahaha, we love you Zac. I loved the “let’s see what he does in a Conference Game” retort ???
