Thompson bluffing or for real on Petty visit?· Page 2

If we don't get a guy like Petty, I wouldn't mind seeing a mid round pick thrown to the Browns for Manziel. He sounds eerily similar to Favre in his beginnings in the NFL. So much talent. Put him with a team with some real tradition and see what he does in little ol' Green Bay. Wouldn't be the first southern boy to straighten up in the north.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Teams only get 30 invites, right? You really think that Ted Thompson would blow any portion of them, even one, away on a bluff? The more I think about that, the more shame I feel for even considering it possible.

No, this is not bluff. This is the Packers doing due diligence, something we often fail to appreciate.

However your real choice, hopefully will be overlooked , so that you may pick him.

Military thinking can many times be applied to non-military endeavors. I'm quite sure most of the other teams maneuver their press and internet information releases as well .

None can be 100% sure of the reason/reasons to invite a player to visit. Sometimes the GM only reveals the full story only after a player retires from the game . If however one is clairvoyant enough to be able to read minds/future, then I'd like to speak to that person before the running of the Kentucky Derby.

The Packers simply do not operate under smoke screens while wasting resources on bluff tactics. The Packers focus their resources on reviewing players they may draft, not some foolish bluff tactic.

If memory serves correctly, the Packers also brought in Aaron Rodgers in 2005 as just in case even though he was thought to be a candidate to go first overall. That due diligence proved valuable when they had the opportunity to draft him on their spot.

12 never struck me as a guy who was going to stick around as long as the Brady/Mannings..

A bit early, but I would not be shocked if Rodgers retired when his contract is up.

If not this year, his replacement could be coming soon.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Packers take Petty in the 3rd or 4th round. Anything before that would be a ? in my mind with the major holes needing to be filled on defense. Petty can easily be taken late in the 2nd by yet another QB needy team.

Petty can sit for a good 3-4 years behind the best QB in the league and we can just repeat the QB cycle in Green Bay. Petty has the tools to be molded into a good quarterback.
