2: Authentic or Replica. What's the difference in the two. Is the authentic worth the extra cash?
3: Where to get it. Should I pick one up at training camp or order/go buy one at a store? Does it matter?
4: Who to get. I was going to get Smoot last year, but wanted to make sure his contract got renewed. Glad I held off! Now I'm thinking about Taylor (scares me because of his number change more than his legal problems), Washington (No real downside here), Portis (kinda cliche), Cooley (again, no big downside here), Jacobs (A guy I've really liked since we drafted him. This one could be very hard to find and it's a risky one too. Yet to see anything from him.), Rodgers has also been growing on me. Rookies are scary to pick though!

Jerseys come in numbered sizes, if you wear a medium, you will probably want like a 48 or a 50. I think if you look at nflshop.com they may have a chart for authentics.
As far as players go, get who you like, I mean you say that rookies are scary but that Rogers is starting to grow on you, then go replica with him at first. I currently have jerseys of D. Green, S. Davis both authentic and replica, L. Arrington authentic, and S.Taylor replica.
I would seriously look at ebay first, you get the best deals there, I have bought two jerseys off of ebay, both authentic and as a total I spent like $60 or $70, which is about as much as a replica jersey.
But that is all the help that I can offer, hope you get some kind of info from this...
