[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 375099, member: 1429"] Well, two things. First off, TT only signed Jones on his terms. Details of the contracts are still to be known, but Jones wasn't signed pronto. It's the 3rd day in FA, so chances are Jones signed for what TT wanted. And he wasn't alone, Driver was with him ([url=http://twitter.com/#!/TomSilverstein/status/97739186198679552]Twitter[/url]). And IMHO that is more important. Rodgers is biased, wants weapons that he's familiar with. But when a guy that competes with Jones for the starting spot is actually lobbying for him, you know how close these guys are, how genuine their comraderie is. Still, IMHO Rodgers was completely out of place to go to the media to lobby for Jones. If he had done it in private (which he also did), it would've been a fine display of leadership. But to go to the media IMHO was wrong. Even though it's distinct situations (rebuilding team vs championship team, lobbying for FAs vs lobbying for own guys, etc), I criticized Favre then and I do the same for Rodgers. Players play, Managers manage. [/QUOTE]
