Saw a sobering segment on First Things First with Cris Carter and Nick Wright as they discussed the JG to the Pats thing. It's actually a really sad situation given that the Browns are invested in JG as a person and have given him dozens of chances and years to get better.....but finally straw is broke and now vultures are coming to see how many weeks they can squeeze out of JG.

I absolutely root for JG and hope he is winning his battle with his demons, but there is 0% he is another Moss and that we'll be lucky if he is on the roster for most of the season for the Pats. The dude has not shown he is able to be a sober, reliable person...let alone able to do so in New England. Truly a sad situation.

You're the worst. Tons of Packers fans here, not as bad as all the Cowboys fans though.

Careful. Rodgers injury might be worse than what we think from what I've read.

And he'd still beat your team.

Rodger's disembodied zombie arm would still throw for 375 yards and 3 touchdowns.

It's ridiculous but true. The Bears' D that mauled Seattle WITH the addition of Mack could not stop the guy in GB...and he could barely walk.

I dunno, regardless of Bears D or whatever, just saying that Rodgers would kill any team at 50%. Can't stand that GB has yet another great QB.

They could've drafted Ryan Leaf or Johnny Manziel and somehow, some whey, they would be All-Pros in GB. Must be the darn water there.

Farve -> Rodgers is a solid run.

Nope, but the names for what it is considered are not at all polite.

Serious question. They've had two of the top 10 qbs of all time for the last 25yrs and only came away with 2 titles? That's a disappointment right?

I hate them but firstly, their teams were not as deep or as well-coached as your Pats...even if they also resort to cheating.

Brady may get all the accolades now but stick him on any other team and he's not even IMO, even thought about as some all-time great. Can you imagine him playing on the Browns or heck, my Bears in the Grossman/Cutler years running for his dear life after every snap?

Bears'll find some way to piss away one of this generation's best defensive players in Mack. You watch.

Twice as many as we have so you're asking the wrong guy.

IDK, 32 teams and you can win 2 in 25 years, I think a lot of folks would be good with that.

Hey, Mayfield looks pretty good. And nice play there by the Browns on that 2-pt convert to tie.

He actually reminds me in delivery and how hard he throws to Drew Brees...if he pans out for the Browns, this could be the beginning of something nice.

With regards to the Packers, they had Holmgren, one of the better coaches of his era. McCarthy... Where does he rank all time?

Meanwhile, Belichick is the GOAT and it's not even close. Not only is he responsible for all of the Patriots championships, but he's also responsible for each one the Giants have too

No way in hell Brady wins more than 2 rings without Belichick.

As a Marino fan, 1 ring per super QB career is more than enough. In this league, the super QB puts you in the running but there are still 10 other guys with you plus 11 more on D and the rest on special teams.

I agree. Brady individually still deserves to be in the conversation of great QBs of all time, but it's Bilichick's system and ability to optimize the other 21 positions that make the difference. If Rodgers were in the NE system with that personnel, he has six rings too.

Just watched the highlights from the Browns game, Mayfield looked good, even though one of his "highlights" was him fumbling the ball and a fullback picking it up and running with it. Imagine how much better Cleveland would be if Mayfield was throwing to Josh Gordon

Brady's leg Joneill44

Congrats your team has more rings. GreenBay is still more enjoyable to watch play! We will never know how Brady would fair on another team, but it's not just him that won all the rings himself.

McCarthy is goon, there is no system in GB that hands Rodgers what he wants. I sure as hell wish we would go buy a team for him and win the next 4 Superbowls...

I'm from MA. Brady started when I was 10yrs old. The patriots have been super bowl contenders for 18 straight years. They have been to 8 Super Bowls. Won 5. Of course I think he's a God

Kicked out of the league for never being charged with a crime? Makes perfect sense

Yet the NFL employees wife beaters, murderers, and other criminals who have been proven to commit crimes. Keep reaching buddy

Speaking of beating ass, a little off topic, but Addison' Russell's ex went off on him. Even wrote a blog
