    Yeah, and I believe he even surprised Jerry Jones. If I remember correctly, Jerry wanted Paxton Lynch and missed out. Then he wanted Connor Cook and missed out again. Looks like gold fell right into Jerry's lap!

    Blazers could use some of that luck in the next draft.

    It really is. Its kind of funny watching ESPN and fox and you will get guys talk about how smart the Patriots were for picking Brady in the 6th then turn around and say how lucky the cowboys were for picking Dak in the 4th. Dak is going to be good for years to come and he is such an easy guy to root for when you just hear him speak and what he does on and off the field.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You stole my post-game speech after Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals in 2000.

    Also, great game. An instant classic.

    Also, go Rodgers and Green Bay!

    That's the Super Bowl I'm hoping for. Quarterback nirvana.

    The NFC championship game should be fun--all the makings of a shoot-out. Since neither team is particularly distinguished on the defensive side, in a shoot-out I generally favor the team with the best gunslinger and that's Rodgers.

    You are 0-4, right?

    Well, if you think the Falcons and Patriots make it to the Superbowl, then that really means it will be the Packers and Steelers. :devilwink:

    Atlanta could certainly win. Green Bay's defense is going to get wrecked.

    A big factor is whether Jordy Nelson will be available for next week's game. Even if not, though, assuming Adams is full strength by next week, Rodgers still has a lot of weapons--Adams, Cook, Cobb and Montgomery. I really don't see either offense being slowed much.

    I'm going with 42-38 for a final score. The Packers' corners are awful and losing Morgan Burnett (if he can't go) is going to break the dam against a guy like Matt Ryan throwing to Jones and Sanu. Green Bay's only hope is to generate a pass rush and disrupt Ryan's timing, even then he's playing like an MVP, so good luck with that.

    On the other side Rodgers is the engine that makes the Packers go and he's in a zone like he was on their last title run.

    I'm a Packers fan, but I think they probably should be a 4 1/2 point dog. Hopefully I'm wrong, but it feels like Ryan's year.

    I was hoping for ATL vs KC.

    I'm sick of the Pats, Packers, and Steelers.

    I can understand that. I feel pretty spoiled by the last 25 years of QB play in GB.

    I'm not even a Packers fan (I'm a 49ers fan), but I like Aaron Rodgers a lot. In my opinion, the best quarterback ever (in terms of prime play so far--obviously, he hasn't had the best full career value yet).

    Yeah, Joe Montana was my pick before Rodgers. ;) As far as I'm concerned, he's Montana in the pocket and far and away the best I've ever seen outside the pocket. Even Favre, Elway or Young at their best can't really compete with Rodgers' ability to throw short, medium and long on the run.
