I think Indy is ready to win now, and they can.

Jonathan Taylor is a goddamn beast.

Is Aaron Rodgers afraid of facing Dak Prescott twice a year? Can't imagine that's his thought process. He doesn't go to Washington or New York because he's 38 and they both suck ass. He wants to win again before he retires--that has to be the top objective. Ergo, if he leaves he's going to join a team like the Colts who have a ton of big pieces in place (esp WR targets) and just need that Peyton Manning style FA acquisition to put them over the top. So yes on Indy, Denver, New Orleans, Minnesota; no on Carolina, Houston, NFC East, or Miami.

I mean the obvious parallel is Brady joining the Bucs, who were not a playoff team, but who had two Pro-Bowl WRs in Evans and Godwin and a defense that was already top-5 against the run in its first year under a new coach.

In theory Pittsburgh could work but Rodgers is such an ego lunatic I don't think he wants to be in Big Ben's shadow. He wants to be the redeemer, not the replacement. Indy and Denver make a ton of sense to me.

Oh for sure. Indy is a real option. He'd probably want an upgrade at WR. Though, I think Pittman has breakout star potential with the right QB.

Yeah I think Pittman's ceiling goes way up if he has someone other than Wentz throwing him the ball.

Aaron seems to be affected by or at least pay attention to all the negative stuff about him. I could see him just retiring

Did you see his recent comments about "fake White House?" He's on the Curt Shilling express.

That was word salad. I'm not sure he even knew what he was saying. Does he mean the fake-white-house set or does he mean the fake set at the white house? His brain is pudding.

He had some reference to the 81 million line that macphisto types like to reiterate. He's a chode for sure.

I don't really have a dog in the fight. I'm sick of Brady but I know several Tampa fans. And I like most of them. Plus I used to live there. So I'll be rooting for the Bucs.

Good luck Bucs fans!

I was really young. Like 3-5 years old. But my grandfather lived there until he died. And so we visited a lot even once I got older.
