Thank You!!!!…

Good work….

1. Haha you are saying he played well against a defense who was giving trouble to a SLOUCH named Brett Favre. Brett Favre was just having a bad game and was forcing it that night. All the underneath stuff was there but Favre desperately wanted to exploit the Cowboys’ safeties, it just backfired. You didn’t mention that the Packers offense is about ten times better than the 49ers.

2. You going to Cal with him wouldn’t make you more knowledgable about his skills. It would make you more BIASED. Smith was a Heismann finalist. Rodgers wasn’t. Plus, the Pac 10 is weak defensively, so shut up about who played in what conference. Rodgers had great skill position guys around him.

3. Whatever you asked yourself on draft day doesn’t matter. What does matter is that 23 teams passed on Rodgers, while the 49ers decided to take him first, and if they didn’t, it was well-known that Gruden wanted him. The small hands thing: GET OVER THAT ALREADY. IT ISN’T TRUE! He hasn’t fumbled since that rookie year. Away teams are usually given the fresh balls, which are usually slick, and his poor mechanics AT THAT TIME caused him to fumble those footballs. Oh and Rodgers is 6′2 220. Smith is 6′4 220.

It’s obvious you think highly of your football knowledge because of the points you try to make. That fact is you know very little and you place too much emphasis on what things you’ve heard by other unknowledgable critics that somehow get paid to ruin players’ reputations. Most importantly, it’s obvious now that you are biased against Smith because you are a Rodgers fan and are bitter that the Niners didn’t draft him.

and

“is this really what you meant to say? Or have you not reallized that Aaron Rodgers has played in a whole half a game in his 3 years with the Packers.”

alright alright. I’ll change it to “Aaron Rodgers is PROBABLY better than Alex Smith.” I base this on 3 things:
1. He has barely played (unlike Smith who already has about a season and a half under his belt) yet still was able to come into a situation, remain poised, and succeed against a defense that was giving trouble to some slouch named Brett Favre.
2. I went to Cal with Rodgers. He was good. He was better than Smith at the collegiate level. Since Rodgers left, Cal has been very poor despite having much better players (except at QB)
3. Here’s the question I asked on draft day: Why would anyone think that Smith is any better than Rodgers? Smith was in a classic gimmickey system, while Rodgers was in a pro system. Smith never played against tough competition, Rodgers had his best games when it mattered (vs. USC for example). Rodgers has a stronger arm, is slower (barely), and has much more size to him than the slim Smith . Plus, Rodgers has normal sized hands.

Though NFL teams rarely do business with college teams, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said it made sense for both parties.

“We just needed some more depth at the running back position and we thought Darren would fit in with our system,” Belichick said today. “We’ll throw him out there and see what he can do. As for the Razorbacks, they get a pick in the NFL draft, which is a huge coup if you’re a college team.”

When asked if he violated league rules by making a transaction with a team that’s not even in the NFL, Belichick sidestepped the question.

“We just needed some depth at running back and we went out and made a deal,” he said in his usual monotone. “That’s it. There’s not much else to say about it. Right now we’re just focused on our next opponent, the Baltimore Ravens. They’ve got a good team over there. Tough team. Anybody have any questions about the Ravens? No. Well eat shit, then.”

Arkansas now holds a coveted NFL draft pick and must decide what to do with it. According to athletic director Frank Broyles, they don’t have many options.

“As a college team with an NFL draft pick, we’re pretty limited,” said Broyle. “There’s not much we can do. In essence, we just gave away a player for nothing. Still, a sixth round pick is nothing to sneeze at. Tom Brady was a sixth round pick.”

Broyles said that Patriots VP Scott Pioli contacted him Sunday night to discuss the deal.

“Scott made it pretty clear that he was interested in getting a deal done that night,” said Broyle. “So I thought about it for a minute, and it dawned on me that even a sixth round draft pick in the NFL would probably be one of the best players on our team. So naturally I said yes. It was until later that night that I remembered college teams can’t select players in the NFL draft. I couldn’t believe it. I’d been hoodwinked! Man, those guys are smart.”

When McFadden learned of the deal, he was stunned. However, he later admitted that it was “probably for the best.”

“At first, I was just so upset that my team didn’t want me, but then I reminded myself that another team did want me, and it was the Patriots. So I think this is all going to be a great learning experience for me. I just want to know: am I getting paid? Because they said something about student athletes not getting paid.”

McFadden joined the Patriots in practice today, and quickly learned that life under Bill Belichick was going to be in stark contrast to life as a Razorback.

“Belichick likes to take us rookies down a peg,” he said. “He screamed at me today for accepting the ball on a hand-off. He was like ‘Where do you get off taking my hand-off, rookie? What the fuck does Darren McFadden know about taking hand-offs?’ Then he made the whole team do up downs while I ate a sundae. That was a good sundae, but it wasn’t worth having all my teammates hate me. Maybe if they put nuts on it or something.”
