McGinn: Packers Should Trade Jennings

[eagle13]

Greg had 5 catches for 34 yds in 49er game - wow - he made a big difference
Greg didn't play in Bear game and we managed to win.
Despite his insignificance so far this season, Jennings IS a top drawer player BUT for a 1st rd pick I trade him.

Rodgers was mediocre against the Bears - wow - he made a big difference. Might as well trade him too.

Your lame attempt at sarcasm fails as 1) Rodgers was off but was far better than mediocre (your poor evaluation skills are showing) - 2) we have great depth at WR we do not have depth at QB / Cobb >>>> Harrell

(nods head in agreement) I'd add we don't have near enough evidence (and probably won't get it) concerning the impact of playing w/ and w/o Jennings.

[WRau1]

Trade Jennings for Brian Cushing.

Some of the best logic I've seen all day!

Clearly I haven't left the house yet.

Obviously using Rodgers is hyperbole, but the logic of your argument is flawed. You can't based the effectiveness or impact of Jennings in our offense based on two games, ffs. Throughout the last two seasons, he's been one of Rodgers' favorite and most reliable targets. He was targeted more than any other receiver last year, AND HE MISSED 3 GAMES. If you go back, that Jennings is Rodgers best target is reinforced by the numbers. You don't just trade someone like that in the middle of a Super Bowl window, and you don't make those decisions based on two games.

You ramble on about how good he is - why? To agree w/ me? I already said

IF you kept track of what we're discussing you know I don't base this on two games. As stated earlier

I base decision on a trade on the long term business side of things.

Anyway I repeat

BUT for a 1st rd pick I trade him.

I get that you would not trade GJ even for a 1st and prefer to take your chances when he's a FA this offseason. Fine. We disagree. It doesn't matter - TT is not going to trade him. Hopefully GJ has a great year and we can then afford to resign him. I doubt it and happen to agree w/ McGinn. We'll end up only getting a 3rd in 2014 for such a super talent. You seem to be OK with that. Fine. Again we just disagree.

The only question that should be asked, is "Will move X help us win a SuperBowl this year?"

We have a window, and there are no guarantees in this league. We can't waste Rodgers' health and prime building for 2 or 3 years from now.

I just don't get this thinking. GJ is the second best offensive player we have (by a mile), and probably the 3rd best guy on the team.

I agree. It is absurd.

As WRau1 put it, I'd rather trade a 1st for a defense upgrade than move Jennings.

I still see worst case scenario being we franchise him and get a second. Too much panace going on.

Exactly. Next year's first round pick doesn't help us win the championship this year, and probably doesn't have much of an impact next season either. And I don't buy this whole "he's going to command a Fitz type contract". He will take what Fitz got and formulate something in regards to where GJ feels he ranks as an NFL receiver. Every player for every position does it. He did this exact same thing last contract, so why does everyone feel he is going to suddenly think he's worth Fitzgerald money?
