It Just Won't End: Jolly's Legal Troubles and Tebow Talk
DE Johnny Jolly of the Green Bay Packers was arrested in July 2008 for possession, and the trial has been delayed several times for various reasons. According to the Press-Gazette, it's been set for trial on May 21 in Texas.
Please Mike McCarthy, stop talking about QB Tim Tebow. From JS Online.com:
"I'd love the opportunity to develop him," McCarthy said Wednesday.
Again, I'm against any talk of him because they would have to use a high draft choice, NFL Draft Scout currently projects him as a 2nd round pick, for a 3rd string QB who'd be a major distraction for the coaches as they fix his throwing motion.
The SB Nation writers mock draft rolls on. At No. 6 overall, Field Gulls went all in on the crazy Pete Carroll era by reaching long for USC S Taylor Mays.

NO!!!
stop with the Tebow crud, we have our franchise QB for the next 10 years. Let someone else deal with his distractions.
2010 WhiteSox Baseball: "even if it works it's still stupid"
So what?
What’s the big deal with Tebow? I highly doubt the Packers will take him too early or over pay for the guy. If he does fall to a point where he is a deal (say late third or fourth) then I completely trust MM to coach him up to a point were the Pack can get a great pic for him.
Finally it’s not like this guy is going to be a distraction. He’s all news now because he’s a high profile college player who doesn’t fit in the NFL right away. He’s not Pacman Jones shooting people in strip clubs, and he’s not Joey Porter calling everyone and their mother names and picking fights. The dude is a straight arrow and a hard worker. Not a team cancer.
So let him talk. The guy builds QB’s and Tebow is the ultimate QB building project. Can’t blame a guy for wanting to do what he does best.
I have no problem with taking a QB...
in the later rounds, ala Hasslebeck. Maybe you get lucky from time to time, but we should not be drafting a 1-3 round QB anytime in the next 8 years. If we get lucky and hit on one of them, its GREAT trade bait, but not in the early rounds.
And last time i checked...
Tebow is better than Chris Pizzotti (who’s currently listed as our 3rd QB).
if at any time we are forced to rely on Tebow as our 3rd QB to win games…we would for sure have been better off using that pick for an OL

Protect investment
You’re right, we can’t afford to have Rodgers injured, if he’s available in the 6th, maybe but we need some O-line for the future.

Given a few years to put a young QB through his QB school, I trust McCarthy to coach anybody up. But that’s actually why the Packers shouldn’t take Tebow. He’ll be at least a 3rd rd pick. If you’re looking for a QB to train up and trade, you find those guys in the later rounds.
On the other hand, Joe Theisman played some safety and returned some kicks while he was waiting for his chance to start at QB. It was a different era, but maybe Tebow could be a throwback.
Obviously, this is a waste of time to talk about. There’s is not a victory’s chance in Detroit that TT is going to draft him that high. …or at least I hope not.
…although, on fourth thought, it would be a fun situation to watch as it played out. And I think it would be the ideal situation for Tebow from a football standpoint, to find a team that was interested in using him creatively for a few years while he learns to be an NFL QB.
Just picture this...
We get Tebow in the 4th (a stretch I know since most draft experts are saying 2 right now for him).
We spends a year working with the QB coaches getting his motion tighter and more natural and he works his way up to #2 on the depth chart.
Then you can have set ups where you run shotgun with DD and Jennings split wide. Finely in the slot. Jackson (maybe Grant) and Tebow in the backfield on either side of Rodgers. Personally I think that’s fairly promising.
No-one´s talking about a franchise-QB in Tebow...
But why shouldn´t the Pack splash in on the Wild-Cat action going around:-)? It´s a stretch getting him lower than the third round, but if he´s sitting there, well heck – it beats having Mike Vick on your roster! :)
He won't last
Until our 3rd round pick no matter what. He has too much value, for example, in Jacksonville simply as a season ticket seller even if he never plays a down to make it that far.
I can use your help in the MtD Mock draft. So far we have selected the following in the first 4 rounds:
Anthony Davis (OT, Rugters)
Patrick Robinson (CB, Florida State)
Toby Gerhart (RB, Standford)
Greg Hardy (DE/OLB, Mississippi)
we now need a pick for your 5th round what player or position should we go for? Is there someone that wants to come make the selection?? Please we need the 5th rounder today.

lol @ drafting Tebow
That would be a typical Ted Thompson thing to do. It’s never too early to draft your qb of the future right? haha. Time for Rodgers to pack his bags Tebow’s coming to town.
I pray to god Thompson drafts Tebow.
More More More!
we need more QB’s, WR’s and Defensive Lineman! Ha Ha, Aaron Rodgers is starting to get old almost past his prime!

Well now that we have heard from the moron contingent can we finally put this drafting of Tebow stuff to bed?
Frye is honestly gotta be one of the top 10 3rd Stringers in all of the NFL right now--colbyb
I hope you guys take Tebow. Childress could call him “the next white Donovan McNabb” and everything would be all good.

It's worth it.
Even at the age of 40, us fans know how good he still is. Something that fans of his previous team may have not appreciated as much.
How good he still is? Did you miss the NFC Championship?
Or any playoff game since about 99? He had a good regular season, but yet again he blew it when it really counted. Have fun building up the hope that he’ll lead you guys to a story book ending.

and you're exactly the type of fan I was talking about....
Wonder if you’ll change your tune after several seasons of Rodger’s fumbles, INT’s, and fumble/kick Rodgers patented playoff ending losses.
I dealt with several years of Favre doing it, so why not?
And if Aaron Rodgers has only one playoff loss, how can he have “Patented playoff losses”? But go ahead and bash Rodgers all you want, just like you did Favre all those previous years, because if there is anything I know about fans like you, is that you only hate something when you can’t have it.

Man, you're really grasping at straws here
He gets hit and accidentally kicks the fumbled ball? So he must suck right? If he was on the Vikings, I’m sure you’d be jock riding him like you are Favre. Jealousy is an ugly color on you my friend, almost as bad as that purple jersey you’re probably sporting right now.

Rodgers is terrible. We should just cut him or something.

It’s not that we’re sensitive. You just come on here and say things that make you look like you have an IQ no higher then 60.

How big of a homer do you have to be to say something like this? Your one of those guys that can’t look at anything in the slightest bit of reality.
So Rodgers fumbled at the end of the game. Does that mean we should look at him throwing for 400+ yards and 4 TD’s as a disappointment? Did you watch any of the game? He led us back from being down 24-3…Pretty good game for a Qb playing in his first ever playoff game wouldn’t you say?

Relax man, he's jealous
We have our franchise QB that got more yards than Favre ever did in a single season. He didn’t throw our playoff game away, in fact he kept us in it.
He on the other hand witnessed what Favre does best, throw away the playoff game and he didn’t have Reggie White and Leroy Butler there to bail him out. Whether he returns next season or not, the ending result will be the same. He never learns and he never changed. The biggest thing that dissapoints him is after Favre does retire, MN is basically out of contention. They don’t have a franchise QB.
Let him talk, cause you know we have nothing to worry about. Obviously he’s worried if he’s coming here making idiotic remarks.
"No player is greater than a team."
-Vince Lombardi
Something that fans of his previous team may have not appreciated as much.
And what’s your evidence of this? Just because many of us were in favor of the organization going with Rodgers after Favre retired doesn’t mean we weren’t appreciative of his talent. We all knew he still had the ability to play. He had what was one of his best years with us in 2007. No one was questioning his ability. The split was soley because of him retiring and us consequently moving to our former 1st round draft pick.
