commentary...

basically,it is "dead" time in the NFL... the scouting combine is fine,and some of the prospects would fit in nicely with the Packers,but general manager Ted Thompson usually goes for best player available,but in the case of quarterback Aaron Rodgers,he found a nugget... when he was drafted by the Packers,I said "YAY",because i saw him play for the University of California,against the USC Trojans,and i honestly thought that he would be a first round draft pick,in 2005... he dropped 24 picks to the Packers,and when Brett Favre retired,after the 2007 NFC Championship game,and then traded to the Jets,he started in the 2008 NFL season,the Packers went 6-10(third place in the NFC North-the Detroit Lions went 0-16,that season)... after about twelve games,of the 2008 season,and many a Packers' loss,i was listening to the Packers' game on XM,and realized that Rodgers was not Favre,and then he would mature into a real good starting quarterback,so i calmed down,and enjoyed the games... the Packers were 1-8,or 1-9,when losing a game,when leading at the four minute mark,in the fourth quarter(crunch time),in 2008... i really,at the time,did not think that he would not be "Aaron Rodgers"(a two time MVP,and a Super Bowl winner-Super Bowl XLV),so soon... honestly,i am very very happy to be really wrong... by 2010,the Packers won Super Bowl XLV,and were 15-0,when leading,after the third quarter,in 2011,so i was very wrong about Rodgers,and i am very,very happy for that... honestly,i may have told that story before,but,folks,it is my favorite,period...
