Brandon McManus

[tynimiller]

You're right. Wyatt has one more year left. No gain in not keeping him for 2025. Even if his time is reduced. He still gets paid. Watson is a walking injury. He has weak knees. He not only tore the ACL, but has additional structural damage to the knee. That knee will never be right again. I'm gauging it on someone I know who had exactly the same type of injury that Watson apparently has. My own Son. He blew out a knee exactly like Watson did, and it takes a major rebuild to get it right, and even then, it's never going to have the strength it needs. Watson won't be ready for next year, and will be on IR for most of the season, then becomes an unrestricted free agent. Why bother keeping a spot open? Get help. Watson is a free agent after 2025. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/76910/christian-watson.

Look at Stokes contract. It sure looks like 2025 is a Packer option year, and the option wasn't taken. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/72409/eric-stokes.

You're right on Melton. An ERFA. If he comes cheap fine, but if it costs more, forget it. He isn't more than deeper depth in the WR room. What puzzles me on Melton is why they haven't used him in the long routes. The guy ran 40s under 4.35. He's as fast, if not faster than Watson. So, why don't they use him in that capacity with Watson out? It makes me wonder how valuable he is. Would you resign him if he gets a solid offer? I wouldn't. I'd look for new blood to be honest.

Like I said on Emmanuel Wilson, I wouldn't invest too much. But what you and I are both missing in this scenario is that the guy did get on the field and is actually in a learning curve. He came out of Ft. Valley State, and from what I've been hearing, he's getting better every day. Does that mean he should be kept? I'd only consider it with a low salary, and it would be a fight for him to make the team.

Not being argumentative. Just voicing my personal opinions on the value of players. Since neither of us is the GM, or on the coaching staff, who knows what they actually think about each player.

Every day I get surprises. One is seeing Myers as an alternate for the Pro Bowl. How? He's barely a top 20 center, and even though the work between him and Love has gotten exceptionally good, that doesn't stop a blitzing linebacker from blowing him up on a play. I still believe we need to find someone better at the position. He's too erratic.

I was merely pointing out I think you had some years wrong was all.

Also Whelan is not a UFA either so cheap keep.

Watson will not be a free agent if on PUP all this next year, as the league rule tolls the final year of a contract in that case into the following. No sense cutting him before you know what he is post surgery and recovery.

In Melton his usage is limited because there hasn’t been the need for him. Wicks and Doubs are both better on routes and getting open deep due to their route trees IMO at least being more refined than Melton.

Melton has a chance now though and likely given his cheap ERFA status will have a chance next year too

 

[milani]

Just rambling here. Alexander won't be going anywhere. Neither will Walker. That is, unless someone offers value to get them. Both are talented, and both could very well end up not being injured again.

Wyatt? He stays only if the price is right. He can make good plays. He also gets blown out one-on-one way too often. I think he grades out negatively in wins/losses. He makes splash plays that keep his RTG up.

McManus? One heckuva good kicker. I'd like to see them ink him to multiple years "now." Don't wait until the season is over. We need to have the kicking duties be a "happy place" on our roster. It's been one that's scared the bejeebers out of us for a while now. Nick Folk, the only guy better? He's 40 years old, and McManus is 33. Get a 5-year deal worked out.

Watson? The guy is a potato chip. His knees are about as strong as a potato chip is, when you hold it by the tippy-tip end, and dip it into French Onion dip just out of the fridge. You know the darned thing is gonna break. His skills are amazing, when he's healthy. The problem for him is his body. It isn't suited for a torturous game of football. He'd be much better off if he decided to try becoming the king of Canasta. He'd just have to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Should Josh Myers stay or go. He made alternate for the Pro Bowl. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. He's actually ranked about 15th when it comes to centers. That's right smack in the middle. His work has improved with Love under center. A QB and center can click or not click, as a pair. They have. So, how well do you pay him? I think $6 mill is the max, if you decide to keep him. That's roughly in range with the average NFL centers. I'd think it would be a 3-year contract, at $18 mill, and maybe $10 mill out front. You might end up replacing him in a year or two. That is, if you find someone who is better, and you can afford them.

Stokes? Gone. They're not paying him for the void year. Slaton? Pass, unless the deal is low enough. Watson? Eat the little over $1 mill cap hit, and replace him. Ballentine? Slightly over minimum at best. Maybe 3 years with little cap impact. Eric Wilson. He's 30. I dunno. If he takes a realistic figure, and maybe 3-years with minimal cap impact? Yup! He'd stay. He shows glimmers of being a fairly decent depth piece. McDuffie? Add some money to the pot over what you'd be willing to pay E. Wilson. He's younger, and has the ability to grow his game. Don't get into a bidding war over him. He's good, but not that good. Anderson? If he comes reasonable, I'd bring him into camp. Maybe a one-year deal, possibly two with a team option for #2? He offers decent depth from what I've seen of him. Melton? Keep at the right price. No bidding war. 3-years? Whelan? Get a deal with him for 4 or 5-years. Don't risk losing him unless the price is way too high. He's not nearly at the top of the list, but his hands are amazing as a holder. He's made some snags and placements that were amazing, to keep McManus make record as good as it is. He'll sign at a fair figure, somewhere about the middle of the road for the position - I think. I also hope. Emannuel Wilson. Low ball, or no ball. He's depth, and that does matter. He shouldn't be outrageously priced. Dillon and Tyler Davis. Gone. I don't see them even offering either one a contract.

As for the rest of the 2025 FAs, I don't think we even need to talk about them. They're gone. As far as our Practice Squad, I haven't got a clue. I do think they might keep Clifford around though since he knows the system. That is, unless he gets beat out in camp by a rookie.

All guesses here. I don't know what's in Gute's mind, or what the real talent pool will be in FA, and in the draft.

Watson is an Evel Knievel. I picture this guy doing a Lambeau Leap into an empty space and crashing his head on a seat.

MCNamath is another key point that is flying under radar. He has a range up to 61 yards (his career long) and his accuracy is A grade. He’s 3-3 past 50+ with a 55 Long this season. He did that in colder weather than this coming game at Philly. I suspect his max range Sunday (wind permitting is in that 57-58 yard range)

Conversely, Jake Elliott has been struggling mightily with accuracy on anything past 50 yards. He has 1-7 from 50+. 50 is his long. He’s small in stature, 5’9X167lb. and pretty accurate on short to medium range but WITHOUT Long capability.

IMO (unless it’s very windy) the Packers will be in FG range starting at the Philly40. The Eagles will need the GB32 yard line to feel confident in a try at 33 Degrees.

 

[Thirteen Below]

Top 10 kickers are making $5.3mil/yr, with Butker #1 @ $6.4mil/yr. Brandon is currently 33 yrs old & we got GREAT kicking in '24 for only $806.667k. Hopefully Gute re-signs him for at least a 3 yr deal in the $5.5mil/yr. range so kicking isn't a continuing concern.

Honestly, that can potentially be worth at least one, possibly 2-3 wins a year. And possibly an advancement in the postseason. How many other positions can you say that about?

When you need a guy to get open downfield and stretch the chains, there's one receiver you target on that 3rd and 7. Others may wind up being open, but there's one Donald Driver or Davante Adams that you're counting on who making the play, and usually there's time on the clock for a do-over. When it's 3rd amd goal on the 3, there's only one player named Josh Jacobs, but if you don't like the defense you have audibles. And you always have the option of goinfg or it on 4th down, so it's not an absolute do-or-die scenario. Worst case scenario, you still have one more shot left in the magazine if he gets stuffed.

But when it's 4th down at the 38, with 4 seconds remaining, you have one option to either win the game or lose it - your kicker. If he does it, you win; if he misses it, you lose. And you drop a game in the standings. Or watch the playoffs next week end at home.

When you have a guy who the coaches know, "If we get him close enough, we win", that changes the whole strategy on the final drive of the game. Whn you're trailing by 1 or 2, instead of thinking, "we need a touchdown here, because Carlson", the coaches can take a chance that they might otherwise not take.

And the other team knows that too. At least one or two plays on the final drive may be called differently if you know you have a 95.2 kicker ready to come in on 4th down.

Having a kicker like that standing on the sideline changes the way the whole last few mintues of a game are executed. Gives your offense a lot more breathing room. It may not always show up directly on the final score, but it sometimes has a lot to do with why that is the way it ended up.

I was thinking the same thing when I read your weather forecast for Sunday. The winds are being forecasted to be around 5 MPH. That is light winds!

I don't really care what it costs to keep McManus, in the grand scheme of things he has proven his value and you pay him what he and his agent reasonably ask for. If the Packers **** around and lose him, they could find themselves bringing back Anders, Joseph and Narveson back for a miss-off competition.

That’s why I was whining about us being 1st n 10 at the GB11 with 3 timeouts and 30 seconds left. You have potential lot 5-6 free plays and only 3-4 need to get out of bounds.

Your statistical average per play is +- 9-10 yards per play. You take a couple of quick 8-9 yard down and outs and maybe use 1 Timeout. Now it’s 1st n 10 from the GB30 with 19 seconds snd 2 Timeouts. Here if you hit a 10 yarder and call a Timeout at the GB40 any risk of Bears scoring has diminished (such as a catch n fumble or INT) because on the final 2-3 plays your taking shots past midfield under :13 seconds. At minimum if you just reach the GB45-49, you’ve got a free Hail Mary attempt.


I am 100% sure that Dan Campbell does not lay down with 30 sec and 3 Timeouts losing by -1. We shouldn’t lay down until it’s 3rd n 16 from GB5 with :19 sec type area. We gave Chicago :50 seconds of game clock AND handed them 4 Timeouts.
:30 seconds 3 timeouts end of first half and :20 sec and 1 timeout second half.
Chicago sure didn’t lay down with :30 seconds and timeouts left! We have to start playing like the Philly40= Points

Carlson and Narveson really rubbed off they’re still haunting us.

You really want to push that scenario, don't ya! You get an "A" for effort!

But I am still a "Big No" for that 11 yard line scenario. Chances are MLF would misuse his timeouts anyway.

Maybe if the other team has ZERO timeouts (Bears had 2), that way you can run the clock out if 1st and 2nd down produce nothing. However, you are still risking fumbles and interceptions deep in your own territory.

 

[Voyageur]

It's too bad Hafely made bad decisions, allowing the Bears to exploit the open middle of the field. I'm afraid we've seen too much of this "prevent defense mentality" to last us a lifetime. It makes me wonder if LeFleur has anything to do with this decision. If so, he too needs to get his head out of his posterior. His ability to make good decisions in the closing minutes of a game are suspect. Their decision making sure wasted a good performance by several backup players.

Some really good conversation in this thread. Lots of interesting perspectives. I think there's one thing we all will agree on. McManus has become the asset as a kicker that we haven't had in a long time. There's a level of expectation, and confidence when he goes out on the field that makes an offense better, because they know that they just need to do a little bit extra to get the ball in position for him to kick it through the uprights.

If we can keep him around for a while, Brandon may prove to be one of, or the best, kicker we've ever had. He has ice in his veins out there.

Agree. It is really frustrating to see a defense play pretty well, except when the DC/HC decides to play prevent and "keep everything in front of them." The good teams seem to say "Go ahead and try it, but we are going to keep blitzing, stunting and getting after your QB, he better be really accurate under pressure."

Rush 2 or 3 and give any QB enough time, he is going to find an open receiver eventually. I think it was @OldSchool101 that provided the aerial views of the defense on that final Bear Offensive play.....THAT was offensive to a Packer fan, WTF was Hafley thinking?

I absolutely want to push it likely cost us a game and guess what? Laying down did not work.
I think if GB hits a 1st down from our ~22 yard line on either 1st or 2nd down with :20 sec left. There’s a zero chance the Bears call a timeout. It’s a timid approach to lay down in a game where we are losing to a team on a 10 game skid. If we’re afraid of turning the ball over just don’t run a play. Ever. Just lay down every play. We’re sure not to fumble.

Point is we didn’t try. We lost a game by 2 points because we played timid. Now if it was Packers 24-14? I’d probably go into halftime and play timid there.

Well up until this game many said that exact same thing when I talked about us bungling the game clock and play calling at the edge of FG range and in 3rd n short. If I had listened to that strategy I’d be making apologies like Matt every game. even had a poster tell me that I should hush that our HC knows a thing or two about football. Here we are. Matt didn’t know a thing or two because a thing or two in a game of inches is EVERYTHING. That thing or two? Lost us a game and Matt himself admitted he missed “a thing or two”. I commend him for it. Don’t make it into I don’t like Matt we all make mistakes and we got lucky this didn’t change our seeding. That had already happened with poor decision we made weeks earlier. He’s a great Coach. Not a perfect Coach

 

[OldSchool101]

Hopefully we’ve learned a lesson.
To Start fast you MUST be assertive. If you are questioning a decision it’s already the answer. Go for it. Quit second guessing it. Live with the results but don’t waffle and don’t start a game down - points against an inferior team at home with the attitude “I might fumble it!” So might they!!

That does not mean every decision he makes works. It didn’t in this game and I bet a hundred dollars if he knew what he knows now? He takes a couple plays to close the first half. THEN decides when there’s ;15 sec left where he’s at in down n distance.

Honestly, I think Matt knows a lot about football, especially the offense. His downfall/Achilles heel seems to be working under pressure and having the instincts to make the right calls quickly. Yes, football is a game of inches and seconds, but when your OC is costing you time, especially with a young QB, that can be a real negative in the end.

That was one thing that Rodgers was able to coverup for Matt. Rodgers is probably one of the smartest football guys out there. He knows how to read defenses fast and audible to a better call. Maybe that spoiled Matt and he hasn't been able to get up to speed at efficiently managing a young QB during a game, in crunch time.

Totally agree he’s a very good Coach. Also totally agree a few decisions per game can turn you from very good to just good OR from very good to great.

He knows a ton more than I know. That does not mean us fans don’t occasionally catch him making mistakes. As long as he learns and proves it, life goes on.

I have to wonder this as well. Because we've now seen this same "approach" rear its head at the most inopportune times across three separate DC's now.

There's a well-known maxim regarding coaching that says, "You're either coaching it or you're allowing it." I don't know how much oversight LaFleur has and/or how much autonomy the DC has, but it seems to me like LaFleur's been here long enough to the point that if he truly didn't want to see his defenses set up in that way in those situations he'd be able to do something about it.

Despite our coaching screw up Sunday I am so thankful for McManus. I did not realize he was THAT good. Looking at that 4th and 3 earlier I would have let him kick it. We are so used to believing our kickers cannot kick especially in adverse conditions that we punt or take a 5 yard penalty or go for it. Even with Crosby I felt reluctant unless the kick was not significant.

Why was he let go by whoever? Did he get hurt and then that team found someone else. Because he certainly looks good.

I believe that issue was addressed on this board when we acquired him. Good kickers always run into that 1st or 2nd contract encounter and teams ask if it is worth it. He also had some off field fruit hanging over him.

 

[AKCheese]

He was investigated for a ****** assault/harrassment I believe on a return from an overseas game. His team cut him, Packers picked him up after the league cleared him - if I remember correctly

Yes. I believe we still have not adjusted to McNamath, it’s like we can’t shake the Narveson Fever.
McNamath is like the 3rd best Kicker in the league and good argument to be #2 it’s by a hair and he’s clutch also. He’s darn near perfect regular season he’s like 96% and includes THREE 50 yarders and thus far cold doesn’t even phase him. He’s like a machine and it wouldn’t surprise me if he Wins the game at Philly. He’s looking to get paid

I feel good about talking about him because he’s already got that miss out of the way. If he was 100% we’d be doomed. That’s all they’d talk about leading up to every Kick. I think the 1 Miss was in a driving windy rain too.

I feel good about talking about him because he’s already got that miss out of the way. If he was 100% we’d be doomed. That’s all they’d talk about leading up to every Kick. I think the 1 Miss was in a driving windy rain too.

Yes. The one kick was in windy, rainy conditions. I was there for the game winner against the Texans and the fans were estatically euphoric. So accustomed to having our kicker miss anything that is not a chip shot it was surreal!
