Packers 1st round selection, #12 overall: Rashan Gary, DE

[GleefulGary]

I put it on Rodgers.

If he was on the sideline cheering for the defense, they would show more energy and do better. Can’t believe people still support his leadership, or lack thereof.

Everything is relative, so what's a reasonable period of time before we can judge someone's performance (and, does it vary between players, positions, coaches?).

I like what Hey Joe had to say. Except it pertains to players maybe even more. Of course their performance is always being evaluated. I just don't like the saying. But I feel like I got myself into a pickle. And find myself between a rock and a hard place. Can we just forget it?

Many of us deserve to take a moment and realize that maybe we didn't see the marathon in this situation because we were too worried about the sprint. Gary is playing some great ball right now.

And he has a lot of improving to do too!

Incredible athlete with a high motor. Good things will happen for him.

He was everywhere tonight and pretty much every big play on defense involved him in some way tonight.

and well deserved. Both him and Dillon stood out to me. Obviously, this was probably the most complete victory of the season and against a good team, but man Gary and Dillon popped.

If Savage was making a play on the backend, Gary was causing it up front. When Jaire made a couple PBU's, Gary was forcing the throw. He was involved in the run game, behind the LOS, downfield, everywhere.

Oh he sets a mean mean mean edge. I mean on one run play he just threw his blocker a yard back into the backfield and then went and found Henry.

Gary is now officially a force to be reckoned with. It's now just a matter of how good he becomes.

Man, this thread is a trip...

Man, this thread is a trip...

Let me be the first to say that prior to the draft, I did not want him at all, and immediately post selection I was pissed.

Then I did some more research courtesy of my brother in law, and my mind did change a bit.

 

[PackAttack12]

I’ll say this: if this pick booms...it’s going to be a big boom. That being said, quite the risk at 12 overall.

Starting to boom.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

I remember my initial reaction as I was driving and heard the pick was "WTF, they just signed the Smith Brothers". Then when I got home I watched the Gute presser and warmed up to the pick. My first post on Gary...

For those down on the Gary pick, might want to be listening to the Gute Presser that is currently taking place. I will edit in a link, when its available.

The Packers absolutely love this guy and what they feel he is going to add to the defense. Of course I wouldn't expect him to say differently, but his rationale is much more convincing then most of the posts I have read here lambasting the pick.

 

[Dantés]

If I start bringing up how I felt about Gary before the draft, someone might start quoting my Justin Jefferson draft takes to balance me out, so I'm just going to be quiet.

Hey strangers, validate me because of my immediate post draft reaction to an nfl prospect. I love saying I told you so even if I’m really stretching it by doing so.

I believe he was being snarky-- making fun of people who are bringing up that they liked Gary.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Selective memory is a terrible thing to flaunt.

 

[longtimefan]

Ummm?

 

[PackerFanLV]

I just want to apologize for doubting gary. He is a force.

Just don't ever let it happen again.

Thank you for your confession, my child.

Say twenty "Hail Gary's" and all is forgiven.
