@The Duke I started sweating just thinking about that.

Or being on tape 2 years from then saying Brahm, who the packers drafted, would be so much better than Rodgers and supplant him as backup to Favre

only in america can they make a nfl draft prospect, now a multi millionaire and super bowl winner a sympathy story and craft it as a real tragedy that aaron rodgers had to sit around on draft day to be drafted by a team, think about how topsy turvy amercia's problems are, or perceived to be problems..that's such a shame this kid had to sit in a banquet hall in a suit and wait? let me grab my tissues this is really pouring out of me, but shot out to ray diddy!

No one said Rodgers was a bad pick, teams just didn't need a QB that year, most QB's are second round draft picks or worse , only Andrew luck and Payton Manning were true first round draft picks.

who the hell is mel kiper

Mel is a information gatherer, not a player evaluator

He's pretty good at guessing most non-leadership positions but he has had some pretty spectacular fails when it comes to what folks think as leaders like the inside linebacker, particularly with the field generals QBs. He said that Tim Couch and Ryan Leaf would be all-timers, Ryan Leaf being better than Peyton in fact, and that Alex Smith is better than Rodgers. There's also Manziel in more recent memory. That's just a few off the top of my head. When you make as many guesses as he has you're gonna get a few misses but even with that in mind Kiper has had some catastrophic misjudgements when it comes to quarterbacks. Oh, also he said that if Jimmy Clausen wasn't gonna be one of the greats by 2018 that he would retire. Still waiting for that followthrough.

Kiper is there to make noise and get paid to prop up certain people.

@Deivias Why? He gets paid millions

That's who his own SON was referring to.... his dad!

"Parcells told me to make my own mistakes" So he could get DeMarcus Ware.

Of course the exception is Megatron in 07

The best part of this video, the cut to Matt Millen in overalls.

@@RichV20 But Millen had been fired as GM at this point when this segement aired. Millen's son said it because he told his dad to draft demarcus ware and he went against that. Millen picked from 2003-05 a wide receiver. in 03 charles rogers was deemed a cant miss pick and top WR in the draft. They went for Roy Williams in 04 for 1-2 punch then rogers flamed and had to draft mike williams who was another flame out. Megatron was the right pick and lived up to the whole cant miss pick

I wanna see what those guys who said, “oh yeah no question Aaron Rodgers is better” ACTUALLY said back then

Mel kiper is wrong every single year it’s amazing

Mike McCarthy was the Niners OC at the time and wanted to take Rodgers number one, so at least there was one guy.

@@kristycluck5477 who in the hell is Mel Kiper in way-Phil Tobin

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

As a AR12 fan, I was wishing for 49ers to lose last super bowl so that I can say this line few more years

Also passed on Mahomes

Well everyone passed on brady at least 5 times.

Brady wasn't first round material

I wanna see what those guys who said, “oh yeah no question Aaron Rodgers is better” ACTUALLY said back then

aaron didn't make the tire to but was closer

yeah, wrong coach for a wrong player. Mike Nolan ain't no Bill Walsh; just as Alex Smith is nowhere near the caliber of Aaron Rodgers.

L.U. Rehuher matters worse 2012 smith got hurt Kaep came in and it was his team n he went to KC Then 2017 came Pat Mahomes and it was there he would head to Washington In 2018 that gruesome injury ala theismann Guess what they took Dwayne Haskins

⁷

@@l.u.rehuher3714 Smith isnt an aaron Rodgers but he still has had a great career. And if it wasnt for that freak injury hed still be playing and playing well. Hes a solid game managing qb which isnt a bad thing.

Especially when Brady and Rodgers were local guys. I can understand them skipping on Brady, everybody did, but not taking Rodgers is a bigger mistake

@@TheToad075 yep, both grew up niners fans

The sad state of the Niners probably would have derailed Rodgers like they did Smith's early in his career. Best thing to happen for him was not get drafted by the Niners.

Not really a surprise, Joe Montana played there so any QB out of California would want to be there.

yes sir

They missed on them both. 😂 Can't be sure either of them would have been successful in SF, though.

so basically the niners missed out on 7 lombardi's combined of brady and rodgers lmfao

Ricky II because both are from Northern California. Brady is from the Bay Area and Rodgers, from Chico, which is only a few hours away. So it makes sense why they would be 49er fans. The only other option is the raiders and that’s just laughable 😂

RanBelGaming not foolishly, At the time, those picks made sense. Just goes to show no one really knows who’s gonna be good or not.

Leul Solomon i understand why they didn’t pick brady especially because he wasn’t really anything special out of college but aaron rodgers was a top five prospect in that draft and you could tell he was a franchise capable QB they sure missed out. as a packers fan i’m grateful they missed out on him

Everybody passed up on brady multiple times

The 49ers coaching at the time would have turned Rodgers into a bum

The organisation was more disconnected than Mike McCarthys eyes

That's one of the few things Kiper has ever been right about.

it’s hard to argue against Rodgers not being the most gifted passer of all time (Marino and Mahomes, maybe Elway) but his throws are just unbelievable

unfortunately, the nfl ranks college qb's by their "he's so cool" factor.

Character issues were potentially the problem

I lived through it. It was obvious Rodgers was way better. Smith played for Urban Meyer at Utah, with a Tebow-style offense. And Rodgers single handedly lifted Cal over #1 USC

Rodgers doesn’t want to be a packer anymore

Christian Hansen nah the general manager doesn’t want him to be a packer anymore lol

Erik Hernandezzz they’re trying to pull an Aaron Rodgers on him

@@chrishansen2409 More like they're trying Favre him!!!

Charles Burroughs I said Aaron because he replaced favre

🤢🤮

fax

To be fair, he DID have Manning. He wasn't wrong to pass on Brady in retrospect...

I hear you. And understand your point. But Polian is a legend. Show some respect.

@Mike Keller didnt he build the 2000s Colts, too..?

“The buffoon picked another wide receiver...” Cuts to Matt Millen in Overalls. 😂💀

Vikings dumb move

@@EricM1711 good ole kyle boller. That dude had a cannon though, he could throw a ball through the uprights from the 50, on his knees.

Remember when we drafted Christian Ponder lol.

And two years later? Randy Moss shattered Jerry Rice's TD record in New England, after Minnesota had punted him to Oakland. Ouch.

skol

Definitely wish the Vikings could take that Troy Williamson pick back.

I love when they still try to justify not taking Rodgers. Jeff Fisher was like “we were pretty set at the Qb position”. Lol u had a broken down Steve McNair who played like 2 or 3 more years. That’s why Fisher was an awful coach.

Oh and they got rid of McNair after that season. He finished his career with Ravens.

That's every draft

And Gruden might still be with the Bucs had he kept his word to Rodgers about picking him at 5.

MVP and back to back NFC Championship Games

“As of”? WTF! It’s obvious years ago that Aaron Rogers got the last laugh... as did Greenbay! Lmao!

@@jrsands Too bad Aaron couldn’t play defense cuz as good as their team played in the second half they gave that first half away. Two of the greats playing head to head and poor Aaron will take unnecessary blame.

too bad he’s a choker in the playoffs

@@blakemherrera but look at his offense compared to most super bowl caliber teams. Definitely not the best... Still top 5 qb in the league rn. Thats the same as calling brees a bust.

How many SB rings do the 49ers have since 2005? Oh right, NONE!

@@Tyrunner0097 To be fair, Rodgers, for a guy that highly-touted, only has 1 in his career.

​​@@FrizzKid05Mostly cuz of GB's abhorrent defense (and ST), to be fair.

⁠@@Tyrunner009749ers none since 1995.

Jon Gruden I saw your comment along with others before watching the video completely. By the time I got to that point, your comment was the only thing I could think of. It’s so uncanny.

Saw the comment by the time the guy started talking I was only listening not watching the vid, I said to myself yup that's the guy lol

Yeah we need some reference checks here

ya true

Why are they? They just seem to draft the wrong people

They need to TRADE for a qb, their drafted qbs are always terrible

Just an observation, the Browns need to get people to support the QB, a line that can give a good pocket, and a defense that can hold the line.

@@bryancoats5328 They have a good QB they just dont use him right.

Because they give statistics too much room.

LOL, yes, right here. Ha ha!

Dude I loved that commercial

Dan Marino waited over 3 hours to hear his name called, patience pays off.

You can find quotes of rodgers saying getting passed over like that lit an unbelievable fire under his ass. He may never of became quite the player he did

Idk if it worked out best for Rodgers. The packers have constantly failed him with subpar supporting casts. He should be a multiple time super bowl champ.

@@AidanCulverREAL He wasn't quite NFL coming out of the draft with his awkward throwing mechanics. And during that time, SF was anything, but stable until John Harbaugh got there. So I don't think Rodgers would have developed as well, if at all due to that.

@@bryancoats5328 And what did Marino do for the Dolphins?

Didn't know he passed

@@jodyneal4969 yea a few years back

🤘 pride of UT

He's good enough as long as the defense is excellent. He's just not good enough to overcome poor play by his teammates or excellent play by his opponents.

He should have been starting in the super bowl he was having a career year and they still give it to kap what a joke

I'm glad the 9ers passed on Rodgers. Hes been a big disappointment as a human being. There's a special place in hell for people like Rodgers

@@bobwilliamson9562 imagine being this mad because of another human being you will never meet in ur life is unvaccinated

NotYourAverageAsian I’m not sold on Nolan’s statement either. You take the best player on the board, even if he’s more polished. It sounds like he’s convincing himself as to why Alex was the better pick. I can see why he didn’t last long as a head coach.

No madden 07 is

For real

Still 6 years younger than Brady

@@lordbakura1737 big difference between a QB and a RB shelf life. Especially for a north south bruiser like gore. 100x more physically impressive than a QB that’s been protected by refs their whole career lol

@@phillyphilly__lii5653 he rides the bench more than he plays. But sure thx for your crappy obvious explanation

@@lordbakura1737 NOW he does. He was a starter for almost his entire career he is in the top 5 for all time snaps for a running back. And as far as hits he probably took at least 100x more than the likes of Brady. But nice try ignoring the obvious based on his last couple seasons lmao

24 vs 199 is pretty different

Nice consolation. 🥴

Rockefeller they both missed

Digonto Zahid I guess an overthrow is better than a underthrow

Thomas Jones was not a better talent than Cedric Benson.

Rodgers would have been a bust with the Niners at the time.

That's hindsight though, not exactly fair to Fisher for not knowing how the year would play out

Nikosis well a sixth round pick for a player to be considered the goat might be better 🤣

Nikosis there's this dude who became the Bucs legends, he's picked at 6th round. Who might as well be the GOAT.

He was as much of a draft steal as Dan Marino (27th pick in 1983). The following QBs were bigger steals: Johnny Unitas (9th round) Roger Staubach (10th round) Bart Starr (17th round) Kurt Warner (undrafted)

nrkgalt no Brady?

Jog Messon Brady was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, so i figured I didn’t need to.

That's sports, or just business in general. Managing egos

Great RB’s with longevity are a rare thing. Reason teams don’t draft them high anymore.

Patrick willis made it over clay Matthew's and he only played 3 full seasons. He retired after the fourth

@@donsolos Willis played 7 full seasons and will be in the HOF. Why he retired early? Ask him

and Rodgers has a chance to make the 2020's team too lol. He won the MVP last year and is the clear favorite to win this year.

I would dare say Tom Brady had a lot more laughs...

@@cwalker3783 Tom Brady is a once in a lifetime thing where a guy who was nothing special becomes the GOAT. Missing on Rodgers is way more egregious because of what he was coming into the draft

Sephiroth766 This was why Accorsi was a better GM than Jerry Reese. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves for how he evaluates talent. It looks like having fewer picks took away the pressure of decision paralysis on Accorsi and the Giants organization. It’s not how many you have, it’s how you use them.

If his name was Eli Jones Ernie would have picked Big Ben and could have kept all those picks but his real name is Eli "Mr .500" Manning.

@@dudemanjack98 Ben isn't "all that". He just plays for a better organization

Cameron Demler yeah since he was immature and shooting craps in the shape of bullets
