Julio Jones!

[nashman]

Wow this guy is on fire! What he did tonight is just absurd !

 

[Shaggy]

What a second half for Atlanta. Almost came back and won. Wish they did.

 

[Darkside]

Jones tore them up.

Having said that, I can't stop being impressed with Rodgers. He was throwing lasers on the run tonight all over the field.

 

[nashman]

Without question darkside Rodgers is the best QB in the league right now imo!

 

[Jetstream Green]

Without question darkside Rodgers is the best QB in the league right now imo!

This is why I am shamefully rooting for Ndamukong Suh in the last game so we do not have to face him, the guy is playing great lol

[Brian in Mesa]

Julio Jones got me 53.90 fantasy points.

 

[Proteus]

The Packers defensive backs made Peterson look a probowler.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

440 yards in two games is amazing.

Imagine being a Vikings fan, you passed on him TWICE in the first round and he went to a division foe and is a first ballot HOF QB. lol That's brutal.

 

[nashman]

As a Cardinals fan I wouldn't mind having him

 

[Shaggy]

I still like our first round pick with Rolle. With Rogers, he didn't even play for like 3 years until Farve finally left/retired. So he had time to develop.

 

[Reddog]

440 yards in two games is amazing.

Against the two teams with the best records in the NFL.

 

[BigRedRage]

What a second half for Atlanta. Almost came back and won. Wish they did.

I watched almost the whole thing hoping they would win. We need GB to lose a game or two and I don't see it happening with their schedule.

 

[Garthshort]

Possibly that is why they call the Draft an inexact science.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Possibly that is why they call the Draft an inexact science.

Falcons were pretty darn sure. They gave up a ransom to get him.

 

[kerouac9]

This thread was hijacked from a discussion of Julio Jones' excellence to the draft status of Aaron Rodgers, but no big deal.

I think it's necessary to remember that those three years on the bench were absolutely essential to Aaron Rodgers development. He put on weight and gained arm strength during that time, while embedding himself with the coaching staff in a way that Favre wasn't that interested in doing.

Even then, the Packers weren't sold that Rodgers was the answer. Let's not forget that two years after drafting Rodgers, Green Bay picked Brian Brohm in the second round and Matt Flynn much later in the draft.

 

[Iceman]

Have to admit it, but Packers are the best team in the league right now IMO. Well, their offense is for sure. Their defense took a huge step back last night, but the offense can score at will
