He was a good High School player I guess. GREAT HS player. I didn't know that until I watched PTI this afternoon. Guess he was Player of the year and broke a passing record for yards for a career.

It'd be nice to have a fast emergency QB if something happens to Rodgers.

But I'd bet money we never get him but there's nothing much else to talk about, except Soi.

Ruvell Martin played QB in high school. (I've been waiting for an excuse to post that again.)

I must admit I am curious why such an outstanding high school QB chose to play college basketball instead of football.

I have said before I would love to see the Wildcat, or some permutation thereof, brought to Green Bay.

Hes been out of football for 4 years. I think we can find a better emergency QB. Not to mention we have 2 other guys at the position.

U. Michigan is looking at him for a year as QB too, as he has one year of eligibility on the football field after 4 years of basketball at Duke (strange, that).

A lot of media folks are scratching their heads about this one. I still don't know what to make of it.

Would be cool if he played DI basketball and football. Wonder why GB worked him out?

This is an interesting opinion from the comments section:

Why did the Packers work out Paulus?

Heres my theory

Thompson is a sneaky SOB so heres what I think. I read that Paulus was throwing to Duke WR Eron Riley, hes a big time sleeper at WR in this years Draft. 6-3 204 lbs, pretty productive with no QB worth mentioning, ran a 4.34 40 and had a 40 inch vertical at Dukes Pro Day. We let the word out so people think we were actually working out Paulus, when in reality we were scouting the WR Riley. Im on to Thompson and its only a matter of time before I get into the Packers Front Office. Eron Riley will be a Packer, watch. He may have fooled the rest of the world but im on to his sneaky ways.

:icon_smile:

It makes much more sense than actually signing Paulus. It would be a classic late athletic Ted Thompson pick that nobody has really heard of.

You know what would be funny about that scenario? Apparently sports talk radio was filled with snide comments about Ted Thompson "trying to be smarter than everyone else". How hilarious would it be if he picked up this WR late in the draft and the guy ends up being a player? Ted Thompson really WOULD be leaps and bounds smarter than the morons deriding him for the wrong thing.

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I would imagine Dallas will resolve this issue with a truckload of money

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : Micah pulling a Myles with trade request

Mucky Tundra (30-Jul) : Zero, regarding Ewers, you are correct.

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Sadly, this might be our life for awhile. I could put it on another host, but seems it was slower, although more stable

beast (30-Jul) : How long will it be down?

beast (30-Jul) : RIP site 😭

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Site will die, I have to restart it.

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Quinn stinks. Lot of underthrows. (my guess)

beast (30-Jul) : How did Quinn Ewers effect where Golden was drafted?

dfosterf (30-Jul) : All I've experienced was late at night or early morning. I just figured you were doing something in the background
