Mar 16, 2016 at 10:12 AM - 4zone: Vrill, I think GM's are smarter than the Mock Drafters out there. That kinda size and speed is an extreme commodity.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:14 AM - 4zone: Unless there is a deep run, I now see DT for us at #27. If there is a deep run, it will open up either an LB or OT. No way a TE in round 1.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:15 AM - 4zone: I see Jarran Reed in our pick area a lot out there. Another good option I think.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:15 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Karlos Dansby released by the Browns.....would be an excellent pick up
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:18 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: I know it's highly impossible but I wish we were in the running for Hardy. I feel like every GM should have one character guy that needs work. Everyone else on our roster is solid I feel like Clay and HaHa could keep him in check.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:23 AM - Eli Haugen: Just got locked for debating football.... not sweet.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:25 AM - 4zone: No way on Hardy.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:25 AM - Eli Haugen: scratch that. Just topic got locked. Im still here
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:32 AM - Eli Haugen: Bosa, and Buckner aside. I would love either Bama DTs Robinson or reed. Billings, Rankins. a few others i cant remember or spell.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:35 AM - 4zone: Guion is our Character Issue guy, now make that Pennel, who's next???
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:37 AM - Ace: I don't want anything to do with Greg Hardy, I don't care how good he is
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:38 AM - Poppa San: Echo that!
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:40 AM - Poppa San: BTW Eli threads get locked posters get banned.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:44 AM - Eli Haugen: Agree ace.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:46 AM - Jz3: I rather lose than watch Hardy play for the Packers.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:46 AM - Jz3: I prefer one less thug with guns in GB.
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:51 AM - Eli Haugen: I think our defense might do well with a little murderous rage infused..... eh? on second thought... maybe not...
Mar 16, 2016 at 10:54 AM - 4zone: Quirky Question for today: If Wentz falls to #27, do we pick him?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:00 AM - Pokerbrat2000: no
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:01 AM - Pokerbrat2000: unless we don't know the full story behind AR
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:01 AM - Pokerbrat2000: but we trade back with someone that REALLY still wants him
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:03 AM - Eli Haugen: heck yea we do. Im wondering about if the 6'7" guy falls to us? To me, he looks like... well bigger at least. lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:05 AM - Eli Haugen: PAXTON LYNCH...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:06 AM - Eli Haugen: i was thinking of him in the 2nd round. Give him a few years under rodgers...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:06 AM - Eli Haugen: doubt he lasts that long though. I bet he goes in the 1st
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:08 AM - Wynnebeck: This draft is going to be insane. I can hear the gnashing of teeth already
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:09 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Guion is no longer a character issue I think....so let's work on another.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:10 AM - Ace: If a QB is taken anytime before the 6th Rd I'm going to lose my mind
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:10 AM - Pokerbrat2000: How do we need a 1st or 2nd round QB on the payroll backing up Rogers until their rookie contract expires? We have that in Hundley as a 5th rounder.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:10 AM - 4zone: F>R Pennel is our guy this year. I would hope to go a few years without a new candidate.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:11 AM - 4zone: 2K-Remember Rodgers sat behind Brett for how many years?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:12 AM - Eli Haugen: Totaly agree pokerbrat. 2nd rounder with 1st round grade maybe. Im also not impressed with Tolzien and a rookie last year. Until Hundley eased my mind. Hundley is good. But why not add some tallent? if it shows itself?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:12 AM - 4zone: 2K-I think I agree we would trade down if he fell to us. The Chargers might want to grab him in Rd 2 for River's backup so they can take time to develop him.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:13 AM - Ace: Are we seriously discussing a QB in the 1st or 2nd Rd. I literally may fall out of my chair if so
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:14 AM - Eli Haugen: McCarthy did say they were going to need another arm. I assume to break up the reps in camp, more than for depth...

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 16, 2016 at 11:14 AM - Eli Haugen: Ace. If Paxton Lynch is there in our 2nd round pick. wouldnt you at least consider it?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:15 AM - 4zone: Ace-Chill, just a hypothetical thought process with QB. It may be a few years early still to start looking for AR's replacement.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:15 AM - Pokerbrat2000: We don't use a pick on a QB at all......or late.....we don't need another QB LOL....unless Rodgers is planning on retiring in the next few eyars
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:15 AM - Pokerbrat2000: we need almost every other position, not QB
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:16 AM - Ace: NO, not even for 1 second unless you have a trade partner lined up to trade him immediately after picking him
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:16 AM - 4zone: I think any QB we take will be in 6 or 7 or UDFA. We just need bodies and someone we can evaluate and put on the practice squad for emergency.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:16 AM - Eli Haugen: Rodgers has a new love in his life. That smokin hot babe of his. Plus managing a boat load of money is a job in itself... he has a recording studio.... I mean, the dude has options... Who is to say he wont consider it 3 years from now?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:17 AM - 4zone: It's after 1:00 already, why no signing notice for Cook yet....???
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:17 AM - Eli Haugen: 4zone, is probabally right. But thats so boring. lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:17 AM - Ace: *headdesk*
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:17 AM - Eli Haugen: he went to Pats...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:18 AM - Eli Haugen: lol. jk
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:18 AM - Eli Haugen: Ace... Did you expect Raji to retire last week?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:19 AM - sdh09e44: probably nor happening
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:19 AM - sdh09e44: cook visited and left
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:19 AM - sdh09e44: no deal....whats the delay ?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:19 AM - Ace: If AR retires next week, I'll come back and give my sincerest apologies
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:19 AM - Eli Haugen: Rodgers probabally has 100+mil sitting in the damn bank. One nasty injury could easily change his mind... over night.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:20 AM - 4zone: Anybody know why someone like the Browns didn't go for Tolzien so the QB they draft this year would have some time to develop?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:20 AM - Pokerbrat2000: so we draft Clay's replacement because he could retire any second? you can't build a roster that way
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:20 AM - Eli Haugen: i said 3 years from now ace... nobody said rodgers will retire next week.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:21 AM - Eli Haugen: Browns get skid marks in their hats.....
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:21 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I think tolzien is looked upon as a career #2 or #3
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:21 AM - Ace: Not only that but we have Hundley who I've read some feel we should trade for a 1st Rd pick
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:22 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Same way teams should have viewed Matt flynn
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:22 AM - Eli Haugen: Tolzien might be considered a car salesman if he doesnt do well outside GB...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:22 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I'm hoping 2 first round picks after next preseason Ace
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:22 AM - Eli Haugen: where we getting the 2nd one from?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:23 AM - Pokerbrat2000: was a joke
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:23 AM - 4zone: 2K-Yea, but he's better than a Rookie with no experience and his value is as a fall back guy if nothing else, or as a short term filler until your pick gets up to speed. I think Cleveland's problem is they never have time to develop their QB and he gets ground to pulp right out of the gate.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:23 AM - Ace: I wouldn't put anything past Ted but I'm here to say if he takes a QB in the first 2 days of the draft, I will not be happy
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:23 AM - Pokerbrat2000: just like using a #1 or even a #2 on a QB this year would be a joke
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:23 AM - Eli Haugen: Pats did a player for player trade.......
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:23 AM - Pokerbrat2000: agreed Ace
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:24 AM - Ace: Doesn't solve 1 problem going into the season. I'd rather he take a punter than a QB

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 16, 2016 at 11:24 AM - Eli Haugen: agreed poker brat... Although GB already spent a 2nd round pick on a QB, AFTER Rodgers was the starter... But it will never happen, again...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:24 AM - 4zone: 2K-I agree, not our need, BUT, then again TT is TT and who knows the mind of a jungle toad?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:25 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Even had TT known what nobody else knew way back when and drafted Russell Wilson, what does that get us? A back up QB that is hard to use as trade bait because nobody knows just how good he is
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:25 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Wilson would still be a back-up
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:25 AM - 4zone: I definitely want to see us get one of the top two punters this draft Ace
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:25 AM - Pokerbrat2000: unless Rodgers got hurt
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:26 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Packers will get a lot of UDFA Punters interested in trying out, since the job is wide open
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:26 AM - Eli Haugen: Rodgers did get hurt. We would probabally be cashing in on the russel wilson trade right now, had we picked him...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:26 AM - Eli Haugen: or last year
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:27 AM - Eli Haugen: maybe i should go practice punting??? lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:27 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Rodgers wasn't out long enough to have probably made teams that confident in Russell
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:28 AM - Pokerbrat2000: The Matt Flynn syndrome will forever haunt the Packers LOL
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:29 AM - Eli Haugen: When rodgers broke his collarbone, Wilson would have gotten noticed... Most likely. And would we have played a gimpy rodgers through the playoffs, if we had a wilson sitting on the bench???
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:29 AM - Eli Haugen: snowing hard out. yuck
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:32 AM - 4zone: 2K-Don't want a UDFA punter. It's time we got a Weapon, not just more camp fodder.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:32 AM - Eli Haugen: Rodgers has been getting banged up the last few years. We should be talking about drafting some high quality Olinemen...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:33 AM - Eli Haugen: what round do punters usually get drafted? Is there any worthy of a pick this year?
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:34 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Wilson also benefited by the offense and Marshawn Lynch. I am a fan of his, but don't think he is the cats meow
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:34 AM - Ace: Eli, you do realize that if Bahktiari never gets hurt that AR sack #'s are probably the lowest they've ever been right? I'm all for drafting O-lineman but we have other pressing needs
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:34 AM - 4zone: I think we do the heavy lifting in Rd's 1-4 and then Punter in 5
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:36 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Punters are late...6-7. Packers used a 3rd round once on B.J. Sander and he was a whiff. This year it looks like Riley Dixon and Alex Kinal are top 2 punters
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:37 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Im fine with UDFA Punters......bring 2 of them in
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:37 AM - Pokerbrat2000: unless they are really high on Dixon and Kinal and want to use a late round pick
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:41 AM - 4zone: There are at least 2 very good punters this year. Kasar and Hackett
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:41 AM - Vrill: Having a good Punter would actually be a huge help to our team.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:42 AM - Vrill: More than a lot of people realize actually....
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:42 AM - 4zone: I think Kasar averaged 47 per this past year
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:43 AM - 4zone: Hackett averaged 45+ per year for his entire career.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:44 AM - Ace: Agree Vrill. Can flip the field. I feel like we were in our own endzone quite a bit last year
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:46 AM - 4zone: For the Pack, upgrades at positions like Punter are the easy changes we can make to take us to the next level.
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:47 AM - 4zone: With no noise from NE on Starks, looking like we may have him back for the next couple years. A two year deal maybe...
Mar 16, 2016 at 11:55 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I don't think any Packer fan feels Masthay will be a Packer next year, but lets just hope The Packers feel that way.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:09 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: What's wrong with Mashtay?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:09 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Why are we worried about a Punter? As if this will make or break a Super Bowl run....
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:11 PM - 4zone: Here's who we have left of our own FA's Barclay, Goode, Jones, Kuhn,Neal, Quarless, Richardson, Starks, Mulumba. Who gets let go?

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 16, 2016 at 12:12 PM - 4zone: I see Barclay, Goode, Jones, Quarless and Mulumbu gone from the start. We found a good replacement for Goode last year who will come cheaper.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:15 PM - Eli Haugen: Masthay is a hot steamer. He stunk up the dairy land. with cow poop literally everywhere, Masthay was the stinky one...
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:16 PM - Vrill: Punter is an extremely important position Favre>Rodgers. Its the difference in field position. I'm tired of Masthay's 30 yard punts constantly putting our defense into bad spots. I want a punter who can boom it 50-60 yards and pin teams back.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:17 PM - 4zone: Starks, Neal and Lovato should get signed. Richardson is a question mark depending on his health.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:17 PM - Eli Haugen: Id like to see starks and Kuhn back. Quarless must have reinjured the bad knee? he got hurt, and isnt even in the conversation anymore... weird.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:17 PM - Eli Haugen: agree vrill.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:18 PM - 4zone: Quarless is gone. Kuhn is the last man to be decided. If we have cap space, he's signed, if not, he retires.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:18 PM - Eli Haugen: I wanted either Neal or Perry back. Im happy with Perry. Im guessing Dline gets a high pick this year...
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:20 PM - Eli Haugen: Starks is our only legit back up to Lacy.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:20 PM - ThePerfectBeard: I know we are pretty set in the secondary, but I really wouldn't mind bringing in Will Hill.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:23 PM - Ace: Pats signed Donald Brown so no Starks there
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:24 PM - 4zone: Lovato does have a 2 year deal I think. Starks maybe a two year, 2Mil per. I don't see Neal getting anywhere near what he got last contract. Maybe 2.75-3Mil per for 2year.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:27 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Lovato received the NFL minimum salary both years of his deal, $435,000 in 2015 and $450,000 in 2016. I don't see Goode back
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:28 PM - Pokerbrat2000: The price of Starks and/or Neal goes down a bit each day they remain a FA
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:31 PM - Ace: Yep, and the longer they sit out there, the more likely they are back at Packer friendly deals
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:31 PM - Eli Haugen: thats true pokerbrat
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:33 PM - 4zone: Agree. But also, the cheaper they get, the more teams who might take a shot as well
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:34 PM - Eli Haugen: Honestly. We would have been screwed without starks last year. We dont have his replacment yet...
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:35 PM - Eli Haugen: Kuhn is a stability factor... Rip is young. TEs are weak after rodgers. RBs depth doesnt exist right now...
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:36 PM - Eli Haugen: I wondered about a higher pick used on a RB this year?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:37 PM - Ace: And yet you want to take a QB in the 1st or 2nd Rd if they're there
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:37 PM - Ace: You just listed off 3 positions of much greater need. Not piling on just proving a point
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:37 PM - Eli Haugen: A speedy guy would be the logical choice... but I cant help but picture the monster from Alabama, pairing with Lacy... A team of work horses...
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:38 PM - 4zone: I think Starks gets signed unless they are tired of his fumbles. I see Rb in 3 or one of our 4th round picks. Unless Elliot drops in Rd. 1 to us, then we'll have a doosy of a pickle
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:39 PM - Eli Haugen: Hey, Im just throwing the possibility out there. Its just a idea until ted makes the pick. dont get bent out of shape over it
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:40 PM - 4zone: There is something to say about having two pounder backs. Really wear down a defense over the length of the game. If we can get a deep weapon, a tough choice for defenses to load the box or keep em deep
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:40 PM - Ace: Oh I'm not bent, simply trying to make you see the error in the thought process is all.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:41 PM - Ace: You're clearly an outside the box thinker Eli, there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it's just too far though. To each his own though
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:41 PM - Eli Haugen: All your distaste for an early QB pick banks on the fact Rodgers will be here, healthy, and productive for the next 3-4 years... I dont see any problem with having a solid option besides Hundley, to develope.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:42 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Will TT call Karlos Dansby today?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:42 PM - Ace: He ABSOLUTELY should, but probably won't
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:42 PM - Eli Haugen: I remember Pats picked up Mallet in the 2nd a half decade ago. wasnt it? 2nd round i mean? Theres nothing wrong with having a good back up... or two. what ever
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:43 PM - Pokerbrat2000: you want to draft and develop a 3rd string player for what end? Rodgers and Hundley's early retirement?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:44 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I don't have an issue with sneaking a developmental QB on the PS, but using a high paid 1st, 2nd or 3rd rounder to take a roster spot, not be active.....I can't see it
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:44 PM - Ace: Right, we did that last year with Hundley. It just makes absolutely no sense to take a QB that early, absolutely ZERO

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 16, 2016 at 12:45 PM - Eli Haugen: Hundley has shown us one solid pre-season. He got the nod over scott tolzien... not a great feat. With 2 Qbs on the roster. One completely unproven. You dont think it would be wise to get another option?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:45 PM - Pokerbrat2000: People were shaking their heads at using a 5th on Hundley last year, can only imagine what would happen if a 1-4 was used this year after Hundley has shown he has talent.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Eli I get it, you love talent.....deep.....at positions, but doing so leaves your roster weak at other positions.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Ace: You win Eli, I just can't anymore. Congratulations.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Pokerbrat2000: lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Pokerbrat2000: *grabs the baton from Ace and runs with it*
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Eli Haugen: Packers diid it the year we drafted Flynn. And the Pats did it with mallett. only two of the best run franchises in the NFL...
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:47 PM - Pokerbrat2000: and Brian Brohm
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Eli Haugen: just respect the fact that it is an option. And i wont have to defend the matter
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Ask the Redskins and Browns how using a #1 on a QB worked out for them
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Ace: I'm not opposed to taking a QB, just not in the first 2 Rds like you've suggested.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Pokerbrat2000: It's an option to draft 9 place kickers
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:50 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Annnnd we let Evan Mathis go.....
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:50 PM - Ace: I wasn't aware he was ever on the roster
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:52 PM - Eli Haugen: I would like to see that guy who ran a 4.31 and benched 25 reps at the combine... He isnt ranked very high. would be worth a try imo.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:52 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: He signed for peanuts
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:52 PM - Eli Haugen: the rb
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:52 PM - Pokerbrat2000: First of all, just because you use a high pick on a player doesn't guarantee that said player will be good. Second, if you use a high pick on a player that never sees the field in the regular season, how is this said player suppose to be used for trade bait? I get drafting good talent high in a position of eminent need, but there is no eminent need at starting QB or back up QB in Green Bay
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:52 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Like $3M
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:53 PM - Ace: or $6M but potato potahto
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:53 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Didn't you think the Packers should draft Melvin Gordon if they could Eli?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:53 PM - Eli Haugen: I didnt start the wentz in the first idea. someone said if he falls to 27 do we pick him?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:54 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: $6M for the #3 rated OG in the NFL? Peanuts
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:54 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I remember the "thunder and lightening speech" by someone pitching for Melvin
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:54 PM - Eli Haugen: LOL. same sort of speculation at work pokerbrat
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:55 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Gordon, although wouldn't have been wise, has a little more credence behind it.
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:56 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Would you want the Packers to grab CB's in this years draft with their #1 and/or #2?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:56 PM - Pokerbrat2000: if you have a rock solid Place Kicker or Punter, do you audition new guys?
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:56 PM - Eli Haugen: I have never been comfortable with our backup QB since Flynn left the first time... would be nice to start a legit TRADE RODGERS post. lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:57 PM - Pokerbrat2000: good luck with a "Trade Rodgers" post....might want to hit the Vikings or Bears Forums for that
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:58 PM - Eli Haugen: i joke. i joke....
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:58 PM - Ace: It's a 1 year deal, the Packers already have 2 REALLY good G's for this upcoming season. I don't see the problem here
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:58 PM - Pokerbrat2000: sometimes its hard to tell Eli
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:59 PM - Eli Haugen:
Mar 16, 2016 at 12:59 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I love thinking outside the box.....but make sure you are still on the planet LOL

Mar 16, 2016 at 1:00 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Now if Hundley is the next FHOF QB and Rodgers career starts plateauing, I can see trading Rodgers.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:01 PM - Eli Haugen:
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:02 PM - Eli Haugen: oh man.... My crazy is contagous!!!
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:03 PM - 4zone: Rogers never gets traded. Ever. The question is whether he makes his exit as bad as Brett or if he does it smartly. Hopefully he will give the Pack a few years notice but that's not always possible.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:04 PM - Eli Haugen: Its more of a just in case. So that 3 years from now, we at least have an option if Rodgers were to suddenly retire. Or if he has a injury in the sack with that wild vixen of his... Steletto to the eye... career over...
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:05 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I wasn't talking about tomorrow LOL. But, throw out the "Brett Favre side show crap"......all things else equal, Rodgers taking over at that point worked out.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:05 PM - Eli Haugen: you got to think of these things if you are going to be a good arm chair GM...
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:05 PM - Pokerbrat2000: but you can't afford to bank a pick on those what ifs, especially when you already have Hundley.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:05 PM - 4zone: The Packers have an alternative for the next couple years in house now. They will probably continue to draft for QB every couple years.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:06 PM - Ace: Fortunately for Eli, that's not something you'll ever be mistaken as.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:06 PM - Ace: I kid, I kid
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:06 PM - Pokerbrat2000: They will bring in an UDFA and let him compete with Ryan Williams for the #3
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:06 PM - 4zone: You have to draft a QB this year or next in order for them to get up to speed by the time Hundley's contract expires in case he bolts.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Eli Haugen: Probabally smart to wait a couple years before spending a decent pick on a potential rodgers replacment. No need to push him out the door like Thompson sort of did to Favre.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:07 PM - 4zone: You can always trade one or the other before their contracts are up depending on their value.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Pokerbrat2000: *falls off his chair when he reads Eli's last post*
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Ace: Dont start Eli LOL, Don't you f'ing start
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:08 PM - 4zone: li, you don't have to make a high pick. There are solid guys out their in later rounds who just need time.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:08 PM - Eli Haugen: lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:08 PM - Pokerbrat2000: lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:09 PM - Pokerbrat2000: *grabs the fire hose, the cuckoos nest is heating up*
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:09 PM - 4zone: I guess my point is, keep drafting late round QB's and see how they turn out. Get some picks for them later or dump them. They are cheap and low risk. If you strike gold, great, if not, so what.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:10 PM - Pokerbrat2000: and for gods sake.....carry your damn #3 on the PS so as not to waste a roster position.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:10 PM - Pokerbrat2000: If we draft Tanner McEvoy, we won't need a #3 on the field, he will be the emergency #3.
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:36 PM - Vrill: http://www.packersnews.com/story/sp.../?hootPostID=39178ae7dc87144266521c8f498c9fd7
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:45 PM - 4zone: Whats the over/under on how long the Big Tease on Jarrad Cook lasts 2.5 days?
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:46 PM - Ace: I'll say we sign him by EOD tomorrow. I'd bet my house on it
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:46 PM - Ace: Well maybe not my house
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:57 PM - Eli Haugen: thinking cook will be a packer hey?
Mar 16, 2016 at 1:59 PM - Ace: Gut feeling, although I have been VERY wrong in the past, which is why I pulled my house off the betting table.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:02 PM - Eli Haugen: it would be a good move. replaces quarless and tales the pressure off te position.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:05 PM - Ace: My guess is ever since Cook left town, Ted has been analyzing 4th and 5th Rd TE's to find one with a similar skill set to draft instead.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:05 PM - Eli Haugen: how about rbs? any catch the eye beyond the first two? elliot and the Bama bruiser?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:10 PM - Ace: If you're asking me, to be honest I'm not a huge draft guy. I love watching it but I'm not a draftnik by any means.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:11 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Ryan Would ‏@ByRyanWould 3 minutes ago Dolphins sign Jared Cook to 2 year $6M deal, Packer fans line up for Ace's house...

Mar 16, 2016 at 2:11 PM - Ace: LMAO
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:12 PM - Pokerbrat2000: better start packing lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:13 PM - 7thFloorRA: I would rather have Crabtree back than the hack he drafted last year
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:13 PM - Pokerbrat2000: drafted or UDFA signed the last number of years
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:13 PM - Ace: You sure Poker? I think you may have been had
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:13 PM - Pokerbrat2000: LOL Ace
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:14 PM - Pokerbrat2000: was a joke
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:14 PM - Eli Haugen: ACE?!?!?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:14 PM - Ace: Well done, well done
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:14 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I hope you weren't really packing?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:14 PM - Eli Haugen: im catching up...
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:15 PM - Ace: *exits stage left*
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:15 PM - Pokerbrat2000: The TE position and ILB position are kind of running the same course the past 3-4 years......lots of swings and all misses, hopefully Ryan will change that
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:15 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Ace I am conditioning you to not except any Twitter feed as fact LOL
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:16 PM - Eli Haugen: this just in... when asked for directions to the " factory of sadness"
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:16 PM - Eli Haugen: siri gave directions to browns stadium. lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:17 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Eli Eli‏@EliEli 3 minutes ago: Packers trade Aaron Rodgers in a multi team deal sending 3 pro bowl RB's to the Packers
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Eli Haugen: we only need 2 pro bowl rbs. the 3rf would be just a waste.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I need to get a twitter account, I've got a few bridges for sale.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Pokerbrat2000: lol.....Screen shots that for future reference
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Eli Haugen: 2 besides lacy that is......
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:19 PM - Pokerbrat2000: what if the first 2 get hurt or retire?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:20 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Maybe they both run off with the hot doublemint girls and leave us without a RB?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:21 PM - Eli Haugen: well you see. baxk in 1999 barry sanders retired. soooooo....... it happens.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:21 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Well if Eddie Lacy retires early, I'm buying stock in Dunkin Donuts
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:22 PM - Eli Haugen: thats the only excuse to ever quit onthe packers, that i will ever accept.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:22 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Will Hill suspended 10 games for substance abuse.
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:23 PM - Eli Haugen: but he didnt inhale???
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:28 PM - ThePerfectBeard: and that's why he was released. Can't these guys stop being stupid... I mean you're making millions!
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:32 PM - sdh09e44: anyone watching champions league?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:45 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Hill’s fourth NFL suspension, some guys just don't ever learn?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:47 PM - Eli Haugen: 4th?!?! lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:49 PM - Eli Haugen: i cant find a good ranking for the draft on my phone. there was a dt about 7 ot 8th ranked, who looked very good to me. i forgot which one he was....lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:51 PM - Eli Haugen: what is champions league?
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:52 PM - sdh09e44: soccer

Mar 16, 2016 at 2:53 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Soccer ugh

Mar 16, 2016 at 2:55 PM - sdh09e44: you are missing out my friend
Mar 16, 2016 at 2:56 PM - Eli Haugen: lol. i watched the world cup one year. playoffs for any sport are worth watching.... even soccer. lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:09 PM - longtimefan: Fyi.... Andrew Brandt article on mmqb about packers and free agency during his time.... He said HE questioned why a team would not re sign their own players and let them walk... (prob if not a cap issue)
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:09 PM - longtimefan: I think he used the words what's wrong g with the player
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:16 PM - Eli Haugen: maliek collins. dt nebraska. champion wrestler in h.s.. had some pretty great stats a s a sophmore at neb. not sure what happened last yr? but looks like a de for us.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:17 PM - adambr2: Because every player is an investment, and every team needs equally diversified investments to build a balanced 53 man roster within the limits of the cap. It's always a cap issue. Brandt is smart enough to know this.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:18 PM - adambr2: In the last year we've let Tramon Williams, Davon House, and Casey Hayward walk. Doesn't mean they were bad players, it means they weren't the right investment for us at their price given the cap and our other personnel at that position
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:21 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I give TT credit on purging Williams and House with very little to back up the loss of both players. Neither seemed to earn their new found money and TT may have hit on 2 quality starters in the draft.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:21 PM - 7thFloorRA: all 3 of them sucked last year. TT made a great decision to move on and to draft quality replacements that were immediately effective
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:22 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Not going to go back and look, but guessing many, maybe even myself, were screaming for a FA pickup at CB after both Williams and House were lost.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:23 PM - Eli Haugen: it was risky. but randall/ rollins was a great save
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:23 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I'll gladly take the comp pick and $$ savings on the Hayward loss.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:26 PM - Eli Haugen: hayward was a weakness imo last year.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:27 PM - Pokerbrat2000: So was Palmer and Thomas, cringed anytime I saw them take the field
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:33 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Don Barclay though wins the award for biggest liability on the field in 2015 IMO
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:33 PM - Wynnebeck: Barclay almost got Rodgers killed several times during the season.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:34 PM - Pokerbrat2000: yup, Tolzien might have had a better shot suiting up with big pads and keeping guys out
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:35 PM - adambr2: I have no argument that Randall and Rollins were great picks, but because we had to spend those first two picks on the secondary, we had to leave holes at ILB and TE that did hurt us last year. And that's with two slam dunk picks.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:35 PM - adambr2: It's hard to keep up with your holes when the draft is your sole method of roster replenishment. You have to pretty much hit on every pick, which is obviously impossible.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:36 PM - Pokerbrat2000: agreed Adambr, but with the loss of House and Williams, you have to holes to fill, which ones needed plugging first. Not sure Barrington would have done better, but his loss didn't help.
Mar 16, 2016 at 3:37 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I know RR gets a lot of heat here, but with Jordy in the lineup, he might have had a more productive year. Would a faster TE be better? Yes, but RR by no means was a total washout at the position.
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:28 PM - Vltrophy: Bears trade Bennett to patriots
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:29 PM - Vltrophy: Teams are supposed to swap mid to late rd picks
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:40 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Bennett is really going to "love" being a back-up to Gronk
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:44 PM - Poppa San: So according to TT, Bennett isn't worth a 4th round pick, unless the Bears wouldn't trade in the division.
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:53 PM - brandon2348: TT give up a draft pick? how in the hell would that ever happen?
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:55 PM - brandon2348: and no there gonna gonna be able to go "double TE" and with Brady tossing the rock around it will be virtually unstoppable
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:56 PM - adambr2: I actually wouldn't do that deal. Too many concerns with Martellus. Character, 5M+, injuries. I wouldn't have done the pick for a 4th.
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:57 PM - Bagadeez04: No way they would have traded him to Packers. ..was hoping they would cut him.
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:57 PM - sdh09e44: probably didnt cut him for that reason
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:58 PM - sdh09e44: and because they knew someone would give a pick for him
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:58 PM - sdh09e44: makes sense

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 16, 2016 at 4:58 PM - adambr2: Martellus isn't so good that he makes the Pats offense virtually unstoppable. They had a better 1-2 when it was Gronk and Hernandez. Pats offense will be great like they always are, but they would have been anyway.
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:59 PM - brandon2348: Bennett is better then Hernandez. With the other guys they have they have "massive firepower"
Mar 16, 2016 at 4:59 PM - adambr2: Yeah I see this as a win more for the Bears than Pats. This was a guy the Bears were just planning on cutting anyway. At least they salvaged a mid round pick for him.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:01 PM - brandon2348: Yeah while were sitting on the sidelines waiting for situations and circumstances that are "too good to be true"
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:03 PM - brandon2348: I hate to say it but Bill Belichick is just smarter then everyone else
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:13 PM - SeahawkFan80: I dunno if we were looking at him or not too.??
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:17 PM - 7thFloorRA: I heard a guy on the radio today....just a caller so info could be BS....he said he was a rams fan or watched all their games and this guy is football dumb and constantly drops passes. The drops may be someone elses fault but he said this guy is notorious for false starts and stupid penalties.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:17 PM - 7thFloorRA: talking about cook
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:17 PM - Eli Haugen: Bennett is getting slow. He is a big dude, but so is RR. I think a quicker TE is a must for the packers 2nd TE
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:18 PM - Eli Haugen: what round was cook drafted?
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:18 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Never know 7th, Cook could be just that, or just another know it all fan blowing hot air
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:20 PM - 7thFloorRA: the part about the drops seems to come up alot. Never heard the penalties stuff or something about him shoving his QB.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:23 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Cook had 4 drops on 75 targets
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:24 PM - SeahawkFan80: I kinda remember one game back a couple of years ago where Kearse missed 4 catches and caught about 3....ugh...sorry for the memory.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:24 PM - Pokerbrat2000: so his drop % was 5.3
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:25 PM - Pokerbrat2000: remember who was throwing to Cook
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:27 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Jeff Janis had an over 8% drop rate
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:28 PM - 7thFloorRA: whats adams drop rate 45%?
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:30 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Adams was 6.4%
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:30 PM - Pokerbrat2000: according to the stats I am seeing.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:30 PM - Eli Haugen: janis got a lot of deep throws... but cant get your hands on it and drop 8%... last year was hopefully a blip in the offense.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:30 PM - SeahawkFan80: PB...spread over 20 years???? he he he
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:31 PM - Pokerbrat2000: that drop rate may be subjective though, not even sure what they base it on.....because drops + receptions don't equal the number of times thrown to
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:31 PM - 7thFloorRA: So according to that Adams dropped 1 out of every 19 passes thrown to him? That has to be super subjective.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:31 PM - Pokerbrat2000: but Janis drop rate is based on 1 drop and 12 targets
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:31 PM - Pokerbrat2000: so that % is deceiving
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:31 PM - SeahawkFan80: Probably does not include defended properly shots.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:32 PM - Pokerbrat2000: he only caught 4 balls
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:32 PM - Pokerbrat2000: guessing you are right SHF or over thrown, QB error
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:33 PM - Pokerbrat2000: yup...seems very subjective "Ohhh he should have caught that one, despite the sun in his eyes and the broken leg he sustained on the way up"
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:33 PM - SeahawkFan80: QB error....????? WTF...they are perfect...ask any quarterback.
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:33 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I did....Jay Cutler just said "yes"
Mar 16, 2016 at 5:34 PM - SeahawkFan80:

Mar 16, 2016 at 7:59 PM - Eli Haugen: McClellin is the DB that injured Rodgers... I wanted to sign him. Just so we could CUT him!!!
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:00 PM - Ace: He sucks but if anyone is going to maximize his talent, it's Bellicheck.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:06 PM - 7thFloorRA: BB doesn't have the same effect he used to prior to urban meyer's bible study partner hernandez being around. It seems like a much more volatile locker room than before.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:41 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Volatile or not, he gets those guys to put out, and they win.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:42 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: TT needs to do something, if all we do is let people walk and only sign rookies in the draft, the team gets progressively worse year after year. And unless TT has a draft like Costner in Draft Day the team is worse than last years obviously.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:53 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Kind of like the way the team has progressively gone down since TT took over?
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:54 PM - Pokerbrat2000: If his method worked to build the 2010 SB team, with most of his own picks, how does it not work after that moment?
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:55 PM - 7thFloorRA: that team had an amazing playoff run but almost didn't get in.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:56 PM - 7thFloorRA: he seems to want to build a good team every year but never go for great at the risk of regressing in the future.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:56 PM - Pokerbrat2000: but they did and won, just as they were in the NFCC game 2 seasons ago and moments away for another SB. I get it people want a SB winner every year, but TT is fielding good competitive teams, you can't honestly say he is dragging this organization down.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:57 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Part of that last step to greatness is a bit of luck and coaching.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:58 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Denver was a really good team this year, but they got lucky that NE didn't knock them out
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:58 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Same with the 2014 Packers, they got unlucky they got knocked out.
Mar 16, 2016 at 8:59 PM - 7thFloorRA: there are some little things he could do. He could have added a cheap TE instead of going with perillo and quarless...could have added mason foster at ILB for virtually nothing....could have gotten a punter that isn't a massive liability. those could all have been very small moves that could have helped and had minimal financial ipact.

Mar 16, 2016 9:05 PM - Pokerbrat2000: hind sight makes his job look ridiculously easy. Going into 2015, their offense was predicted to be the #1 unit in the NFL and then Jordy goes down. TE wasn't even on many peoples radar until mid season. Barrington goes down. Palmer sucks. Could TT have predicted this, maybe, but he didn't see the need at the time.
Mar 16, 2016 9:05 PM - Eli Haugen: quarless is servicable. Starks is servicable... But neither is on the team right now...
Mar 16, 2016 9:08 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Quarless WAS serviceable, not anymore. Starks who knows where he will end up, hopefully back in GB
Mar 16, 2016 9:11 PM - Pokerbrat2000: When people mention TT should have signed this guy or that guy, they are also looking at what this guy or that guy did last season and injecting that as a "see, we could have had that guy". Truth is, for every one of those guys, there are probably 2 that would have been the opposite story.
Mar 16, 2016 9:11 PM - Snoops: Cook should be coming on board
Mar 16, 2016 9:12 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Im someone who has been screaming he needs to sign a FA TE and ILB, but for reasons we may not know, he hasn't....yet
Mar 16, 2016 9:12 PM - Snoops: In Ted we trust lol
Mar 16, 2016 9:12 PM - Pokerbrat2000: sounds like a possibilty Snoops.....but......he visited and left
Mar 16, 2016 9:12 PM - Snoops: They tried to trade for him last yr I'm sure he made a offer and cook is waiting to see if he can get more money
Mar 16, 2016 9:13 PM - Pokerbrat2000: In Ted we Trust, but its still good to question the madness behind his method
Mar 16, 2016 9:13 PM - Snoops: Plus he won't count against any comp picks
Mar 16, 2016 9:14 PM - Pokerbrat2000: cheaper fix, if he would work out, for sure.
Mar 16, 2016 9:16 PM - Snoops: And to Ted u know a lot of people hate on him but the thing is look at what he has done for us as fans every yr we have a chance to go all the way we have consistently been good it's never been up down up down he is smart and I think he is one of the best gm s of all time... Yeah from a fans point of view we wanna get excited to see free agents and our favorite players from other teams come here a
Mar 16, 2016 9:16 PM - Snoops: Nd play but he is good at managing his money and keeping us at cap level
Mar 16, 2016 9:18 PM - Snoops: Some of his tactics is very questionable going back when he didn't trade for randy moss... Like really.. And when we were close to getting marshawn lynch.. I'm sure he thinks about that stuff as well lol
Mar 16, 2016 9:19 PM - Pokerbrat2000: agreed, but there will always be those who will only hoist TT on their shoulders after each SB ring
Mar 16, 2016 9:19 PM - Pokerbrat2000: No Moss was the right move IMO, I wanted Lynch
Mar 16, 2016 9:21 PM - Snoops: Very true I'm feeling like he is gonna draft heavy on the d line this yr and by pass mlb he still has a lot of faith in barrington maybe him and Ryan will work out who knows.. But they need to add depth I love speed and that Deion jones from lsu is looking better and better I mean a 4.38 mlb is ridiculous that's faster than any wr at the combine lol
Mar 16, 2016 9:23 PM - Snoops: Another guy I like is Tyler higbee very big te and is fast! I don't want Henry he is slow and I compare him to Richard Rodgers great hands but not what we need.. I really like Rodgers tho after his interview against Detroit he is genuine guy and teammate
Mar 16, 2016 9:26 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I like RR, think he is a good #2 TE and nice to have inside the Red Zone. Having Jordy back will help his game. Henry was the pick 2 months ago, but now seems like a reach. If we sign Cook, no need for a TE in a week TE draft
Mar 16, 2016 9:26 PM - Eli Haugen: Moss wanted to play with Favre... not Brady.
Mar 16, 2016 9:26 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Guy I am watching is Jaylon Smith. When do you draft him. Either a bust or a unbelievable steal
Mar 16, 2016 9:27 PM - Snoops: I agree if we get cook te is off the list develop backman
Mar 16, 2016 9:27 PM - Eli Haugen: his injury was pretty bad though. or so i read.
Mar 16, 2016 9:28 PM - Wynnebeck: That's still a year long gamble considering he wont even be ready until camp of 2017
Mar 16, 2016 9:29 PM - Snoops: I know smith!! He won't play this yr.. But if qbs fall and u get teams trying to trade up and gb can get him in the end of the 2nd u take him there it will be worth it plus he loves gb but they have the picks to wait for a top 5 player
Mar 16, 2016 9:30 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I can see Dallas getting him, unless they get Mack
Mar 16, 2016 9:30 PM - Wynnebeck: That's a risk I guarantee TT is not going to want to take especially when the news about his injury is that its severe nerve damage.
Mar 16, 2016 9:30 PM - Pokerbrat2000: seems like a Jerry Jones pick
Mar 16, 2016 9:31 PM - Wynnebeck: lol either Jerry or Rex
Mar 16, 2016 9:31 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Unless the news has changed since right after the combine, he is still projected 2-4
Mar 16, 2016 9:32 PM - Wynnebeck: At this point, I still think TT is going ILB in R1, but knowing him he'll go RB lol
Mar 16, 2016 9:32 PM - Snoops: Just think if Elliot was there lol
Mar 16, 2016 9:33 PM - longtimefan: Using lynch argument when they won SB really can't stick
Mar 16, 2016 9:34 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Jaylon Smith's insurance will pay him $700K tax free if he falls out of 1st round, gets $100K w/each missed pick after

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 16, 2016 at 9:35 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Jaylon might be hoping to fall into 5th
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:35 PM - longtimefan: Ted was giving a one year contract to have randy prove... Randy wanted two. Ted could have giving Two and cut if he wanted
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:35 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Imagine the face on the guy who underwrote that Insurance policy as he is watching the Fiesta Bowl
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:37 PM - Snoops: Our break out player is gonna be jayrone Elliott this yr
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:37 PM - Eli Haugen: That giant RB from alabama might be there at 27... elliot will be gone for sure.
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:38 PM - Pokerbrat2000: LOL....and in comes Eli with the RB!! Right on cue!
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:39 PM - Eli Haugen: i didnt start it...
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:39 PM - Pokerbrat2000: If Henry can play ILB really well too, draft him!
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:40 PM - Pokerbrat2000: speaking of two way players......Tanner McEvoy is my #1 UDFA target
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:41 PM - Eli Haugen: who is that now?
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:42 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Was recruited by the Badgers as a QB, played some and then switched to Safety. Then started playing WR and taking snaps from Wildcat. He is 6' 6" and good speed
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:42 PM - Pokerbrat2000: with a bit of bulk, a good TE project
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:43 PM - Pokerbrat2000: He was all over the field playing both Safety and WR
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:44 PM - Eli Haugen: i want laquan Mcgowan. 405 pound TE from Baylor...
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:45 PM - Pokerbrat2000: saw film on him, he's a beast
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:46 PM - Pokerbrat2000: but runs like BJ Raji
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:46 PM - Pokerbrat2000:

You must be logged in to see this image or video!

Mar 16, 2016 at 9:49 PM - Snoops: He won't even go to a training camp lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:50 PM - Eli Haugen: maybe he can play NT?
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:51 PM - Wynnebeck: The one player I want in the 1st round is honestly Darron Lee. Kid looks like a beast.
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:51 PM - Eli Haugen: How can NFL coaches not even consider trying to use this mountain of a man?
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:52 PM - Wynnebeck: We don't need another RR lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:53 PM - Pokerbrat2000: its an RR-BJ hybrid
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:54 PM - Eli Haugen: I dont think he could be a TE. But I was talking last week about adding another OT who could catch the ball... Or a 405 pound guy who thinks hes a TE would work. lol
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:55 PM - Pokerbrat2000: He is projected in 7th or later
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:56 PM - Eli Haugen: But seriously. Another OT, who is technically a TE. In strictly to block... But if things break down, he could still break out for a outlet pass.
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:56 PM - Pokerbrat2000: off to bed...keep doing my dreaming for me
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:59 PM - Eli Haugen: look at the positives... Rodgers has 20% more protection. Lacy has 20% more blocking. 1 less skill player. But still have a 300 pound TE for an outlet reciever.
Mar 16, 2016 at 9:59 PM - Eli Haugen: This dude is 405. what a freak of nature.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:30 AM - 7thFloorRA: he is probably faster than RR
Mar 17, 2016 at 5:42 AM - Green and Gold: The stone hands thing is a bit overblown and Cook is a perfect fit. He could shine on the Packers and that he is very much the result of a very good athlete playing for not great teams.
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:20 AM - tynimiller: Cook is a great fit for us.
Mar 17, 2016 at 7:06 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: I want some production first.
Mar 17, 2016 at 7:23 AM - tynimiller: JJ underperformed elsewhere but excelled here. Sometimes it truly is a mixture of who is throwing you the ball, and game plans. Cook is slightly better than his numbers indicated I think.
Mar 17, 2016 at 7:28 AM - Wynnebeck: ? JJ had ridiculous numbers in Oakland and even was the best WR in the Giants training camp. Both teams moved on from him because they wanted to go younger.

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 7:32 AM - desertdog55: JJ had 73 receptions and never replicated his 14 touchdown season he had previously with the Pack in 2012.....I would hardly call that "ridiculous".
Mar 17, 2016 at 7:37 AM - tynimiller: "ridiculous" numbers? Good sure, but not awesome.
Mar 17, 2016 at 7:45 AM - Wynnebeck: Oh please you two know what I meant.
Mar 17, 2016 at 8:03 AM - desertdog55: I also think Cook would be a good fit here...if we can get him at the right price.
Mar 17, 2016 at 8:09 AM - tynimiller:
Mar 17, 2016 at 9:13 AM - The program 61: jordan jenkins in 2nd round or 3rd i hope for us i really like him
Mar 17, 2016 at 9:28 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Jordan Jenkins......"NFL COMPARISON Nick Perry" uggg....lol
Mar 17, 2016 at 9:29 AM - Pokerbrat2000: An informative read on the TE Position.....http://www.packersnews.com/story/sp.../17/top-tight-ends-tough-find-draft/81905668/
Mar 17, 2016 at 9:47 AM - The program 61: thats what i said early but hopefully better if he can be a 3 down DE
Mar 17, 2016 at 9:47 AM - The program 61: well now that nick perry is back guess we dont need him
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:13 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I get a bit frustrated that we use a 3-4 and are picking guys better suited to a 4-3
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:13 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Missed out on Beadles
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:13 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Of course Peppers is an exception to this statement lol
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:14 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Started every game since 2011 for the Jags and Broncos....
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:15 AM - Pokerbrat2000: but no room right now for a G who signed a 3-year, $11.75m deal
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:16 AM - Pokerbrat2000: maybe 2017 we will be looking for 1 or 2 of those when Sitton and Lang are FA's
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:19 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: There are some quality OL pickups we can get now, we need that quality depth now, not to develop in 3-4 years.
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:21 AM - Ace: Who is to say the Packers don't already have quality guys on the roster now? Ever consider that? F>R
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:22 AM - Vrill: i'm guessing for "peanuts" as you always say? lol
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:22 AM - Pokerbrat2000: right, but not a FA starter for that kind of money. I see TT picking at least 2 O-lineman in draft
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:23 AM - Ace: I'm of the belief that the starting G's for 2017 are already on the team
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:23 AM - Ace: And no their names aren't Josh Sitton and TJ Lang
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:26 AM - tynimiller: I think we have one of the 2017 starters at G not named Sitton and Lang....not sure I am confident in saying both yet
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:27 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Rotheram and Lane? or Walker?
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:27 AM - Ace: Tretter and Taylor if I was to guess
Mar 17, 2016 at 10:42 AM - Pokerbrat2000: We definitely have some bodies lined up, now if their talent level catches up by the end of the year, we will really shed some cap. Also, depending on the kind of years Lang and Sitton have, they both may not bring the kind of money they are currently getting.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:01 AM - Ace: One thing that I don't think get enough consideration and something I've heard Jason Wilde talk about alot is guys do get better year to year also, not all do but some do.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:02 AM - Ace: Perfect example of this is Tramon, guy was an undrafted cast off, we brought him in as purely a special teams guy, and he worked his was into a reliable and at times shut down CB in the NFL
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:04 AM - Ace: We've seen 1 year of Jake Ryan and little of Barrington so who's to say that they don't improve?
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:05 AM - Ace: The Bears gave McCllelan every opportunity to be a starting caliber player for them, moved him around and eventually found out that he is what he is so they moved on.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:07 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I agree Ace and this is what most revert back to when talking about TT. He truly knows talent, even if it hasn't developed yet. Randall and Rollins are perfect examples of this and how quick it can blossom. Everyone was scratching their heads on who these guys were....and now.....
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:08 AM - Pokerbrat2000: and sure....he misses too....but that may be a reflection of the guy he was banking on not giving it their all
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:10 AM - Ace: The draft and develop philosophy requires patience and is incredibly frustrating at times (even from someone who fully supports TT) but it's a proven model for sustained success regardless of your stance on it.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:11 AM - Pokerbrat2000: The beauty of it, if you hit on enough drafts, you are totally under paying guys for what they are giving the team. You resign the good ones and ditch the ones who either didn't make it, you don't need or can't afford.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:12 AM - Ace: And again, I would LOVE to bring in a guy like Cook or Dansby, hell both, because I believe both those guys help you right now but I believe the talent we currently have is good enough to win a SB

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 11:13 AM - Ace: Exactly PB2K, when you miss in the draft, you're set back maybe 1 year. Missing in free agency could result in years of struggle to rebound from it.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:14 AM - Pokerbrat2000: agreed. For whatever reason, TT is stubborn in that phase (FA) of the game. I really hope he sits down and writes a book when he retires and explains his general philosophy with some good examples of why he didn't act on certain FA's
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:15 AM - Ace: The '11 and '12 drafts were god awful and we got 2 quality starters out of it (Cobb and Daniels), now imagine if instead he signed 10 guys over those 2 years and only 2 panned out? We'd probably be in salary cap hell and dumping guys left and right, instead he's had 3 quality drafts in a row to bring us back
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:15 AM - Pokerbrat2000: bingo Ace.....how many teams out there are riding out a HUGE FA guaranteed contract on their books and not getting even 1/2 their investment back. How many of those on the Packer roster?
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:16 AM - Pokerbrat2000: It's a wrap....we solved the mystery....I will let you cut, paste and post LOL
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:16 AM - Ace: LOL
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:17 AM - Pokerbrat2000: People also have to remember, that any and all moves come with risk.....injury, under performing, etc. but as you pointed out.....making such moves has a lower $$ risk with draft choices.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:18 AM - Ace: I just don't understand being upset that Ted didn't trade for Bennett. First of all the Bears were NEVER going to trade him to us (let alone along with another pick) for a 4th Rd pick, wasn't going to happen.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:19 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I look at a player like Suh and even Watt, sure they are REALLY good, but they are eating up the salaries of 3-4 decent players you otherwise would have.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:19 AM - Ace: Secondly, IMO the Bears are now worse off because of it and he's out of the division. It's a win win for us if you ask me.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:19 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I agree, I wasn't sold on going after Bennett, not even sure I would have wanted him had he been cut.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:20 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Risky player at high $$
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:21 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I would LOVE a tall fast TE, but the sky won't fall with RR in there.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:21 AM - Ace: Sure the Bears may have improved their D, but their O is significanlty worse IMO. They're relying on guys like Zach Miller and Kevin White to step up. Could it happen? Sure but it's no sure thing whatsoever
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:22 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Bears won't get better until they can dump Cutler. That deal set them back a number of years.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:23 AM - Ace: Losing Gase is HUGE as well. He and Cutler were really jiving, the first O-Coordinator that has gotten through to him.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:23 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I actually see the Bears using a high pick on a QB.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:24 AM - Pokerbrat2000: true on that.....Gase seemed to breath new life into Cutler. But hard to change the mindset that Cutler brings out on the field and personally, I think he's poison.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:24 AM - Pokerbrat2000: which is why I love him as a Bear
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:25 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Fox is doing some good things in Chicago, but I think they are a few years out....if their plans don't fail.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:26 AM - Ace: He will show flashes of brilliance, and then look like Kaepernick on the next play. I've seen him make some throws that are incredible and then just some bonehead throws that make you wonder what the hell he was looking at
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:27 AM - Pokerbrat2000: He may someday have it, but I think Cutler lacks the mental game that Rodgers has.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:27 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Rodgers mental game actually back fired on him this year IMO, I think he got way too far into his own head and caused frustration.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:29 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I would classify Cutler as a "F it.....I don't care" kind of guy and Rodgers the exact opposite....
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:29 AM - Ace: My one gripe on Rodgers is he tries to be too perfect. I wish sometimes he would just let it fly a la Favre, may end in a int but it may end up in something spectacular. He holds the ball far too long sometimes.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:29 AM - Ace: I shouldn't say my one gripe, my biggest gripe
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:29 AM - Ace: Dude are you in the room with me? LOL
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:30 AM - Ace: Can you see my computer?
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:30 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Agreed, have to wonder if someone of that isn't a direct result of being in GB when Favre was harshly criticized by fans and media for playing that way?
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:30 AM - Pokerbrat2000: LOL
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:31 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Rodgers took over after Favre and probably had on hit mental "not to do list".....Throw interceptions that will bring the rage of Packer fans down on thyself
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:32 AM - Pokerbrat2000: think I read though that he has always had the mentality, if it isn't there, don't throw it.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:33 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I will admit, I was, still am and always will be a Favre fan....but AR seems to bring a more cerebral aspect to the position that few will ever match.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:33 AM - Ace: Yeah, he does it to the detriment of the team though sometimes. Another reason why I don't rag on a guy like Bahk and his penalties, he's sometimes on an island for 4 or 5 seconds, that isn't easy to do. He keeps QB1 upright though and that's priority #1
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:35 AM - Pokerbrat2000: As AR gets older and more fragile, I think we will see him at least get the ball out of bounds faster. He cant afford to take those hits.

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 11:37 AM - Ace: AR is never going to get old, don't even think that
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:38 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I thought the same of Favre
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:40 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Played Golf behind Favre, Cook and 2 other guys, back in probably 2003......the way he was joking around, he seemed like a kid in college and would be around forever.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:40 AM - Ace: I remember those days. I remember thinking, had to be around 2002ish, that once Favre retired that I was going to not enjoy watching the Packers as much. Man I couldn't have been more wrong lol.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:42 AM - Pokerbrat2000: in 10 years very few, if any of the current coaches, players, etc will be with the team, but no matter who is in Green and Gold, they feel like your best friends.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:42 AM - Ace: Hated Favre for a long time but water under the bridge now. I can't help but smile anytime I watch a Favre SoundFX, he had so much fun out there and was so much fun to watch.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:43 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Yup.....he was a gamer and had fun doing it. I never let what he did off the field bother me, that was his personal life. I may not have liked the man, but loved the player.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:44 AM - Pokerbrat2000: But he still is in my top 10 list of "People I would love to spend a day with"
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:44 AM - Pokerbrat2000: As long as it wasn't putting on Wranglers and just mowing all day long, while our beards grew out.
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:46 AM - Ace: Or trading picture messages
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:46 AM - Pokerbrat2000: ROFLMO ......LOL....spit my water!
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:48 AM - Ace: I loved watching the piece NFLN did about his return to Lambeau last summer. Seeing him in a room with Ted and having a cordial candid conversation really cemented this whole thing as finally being over
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:49 AM - Ace: Even though I think Ted fell on the sword for the whole thing but I don't want to dig up the past
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:49 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Yup.....loved the whole thing but was it just me or was Frankie Bag of Donuts drunk?
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:50 AM - Ace: Lol, if he was I'm sure it isn't the first time he's been in the precense of Brett and was a little tipsy
Mar 17, 2016 at 11:56 AM - Pokerbrat2000: lol
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:01 PM - Green and Gold: Dansby will be having a great time in Arizona next season knowing TT.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:04 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Let's just sign Dansby, Cook and Starks today and be done with this.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:05 PM - Ace: Sign me up for that.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:06 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Ace did you ever see the Youtube video of Favre, Winters and Beebe trick or treating Holgrems house?
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:06 PM - tynimiller: Whoa whoa whoa Poker...that would be a lot of signings in one day...stagger them a few hours for discussion
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:06 PM - Pokerbrat2000:

You must be logged in to see this image or video!

Mar 17, 2016 at 12:06 PM - Pokerbrat2000: LOL Tyn
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:07 PM - Ace: I have, it's pretty epic
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:08 PM - Green and Gold: After the Ray Drew signing, can we handle any more of Ted's craziness?
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:10 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Drew filled the FA Quota, but MM said it might be a crazy year
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:21 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Amendola may be cut by the Pats
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:21 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Release Janis and Abbrederis and sign him.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:22 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Make Amendola beat out Adams in camp. Then trade Adams for some picks.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:23 PM - Vrill: F>R, are you crazy? Amendola is a slot WR...he'd see zero time here with Cobb. Also, beat out Adams? Adams is a boundary WR....LOL. You just want us to sign anyone and everyone, don't you?
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:24 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Cobb can play on the outside if necessary, he's shown that this year.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:25 PM - Ace: Love this "Then trade Adams for some picks." Plural... that's adorable
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:25 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: He's worth a 5th and a 7th
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:27 PM - Ace: He's not worth a 7th right now LMAO. You must not realize how bad he was last year
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:27 PM - Vrill: Cobb isn't a boundary WR. He didn't play much boundary last year, LOL. Hes our slot guy.

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 12:27 PM - Vrill: you're smoking some good crack F>R
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:31 PM - Ace: If he comes in and has another bad camp he's on the cut line, and you think we're getting 1 let alone 2 picks for him? Jets gave up what a 4th for Brandon Marshall, and 2 of his last 3 seasons in Chi he had 100 catches and 31 total TD's over his 3 years there.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:34 PM - Green and Gold: McCarthy was trying to put pressure on Ted to do more. I think their philosophies do conflict a little bit.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:39 PM - Pokerbrat2000: SIGN EM ALL and TRADE THIS CRAPPY TEAM!
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:41 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Are the Packers allowed to trade fans?
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:44 PM - Ace: Uh oh... shots fired
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:44 PM - tynimiller: seriously F>R no offense but this isn't Madden and you must be smoking some potent stuff!!
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:44 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: There were several times where Cobb has lined up at flanker or zig....not often but he can.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:44 PM - tynimiller: Poker that would leave teams like Cleveland and Vikings at a disadvantage though haha
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:44 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: He was better out there than Adams. I
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:44 PM - tynimiller: Can does not equal should or good.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:45 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: I'm not saying he belongs out there but I'll take a Jordy/Cobb/Amendola over a Jordy/Cobb/Adams
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:45 PM - Wynnebeck: AAARRGGGH Why has TT not signed Cook yet!? WTF is going on!? I can't take it anymore!
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:45 PM - tynimiller: In many ways Adams was better than Nelson was his rookie year compared to Nelson's rookie year.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:45 PM - adambr2: Yeah Adams is not worth 2 picks. A late or conditional, maybe. He has more value to us as a potential rebound candidate than trade bait.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Ace: Let me ask you this F>R, would you give up multiple picks for Davante Adams? Be honest here
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:46 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Nelson had to adjust to the pro game, the Big 12 is not known for great DBs outside of Texas
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:47 PM - tynimiller: On Madden he is worth a next year 2nd rounder
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:47 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Some late rounders, sure. 3rd year is the make or break year, so if he takes off then I'm a genius....if I end up cutting him then oh welll.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:47 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Don't be an *** miller
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Ace: And you would last about 2 seasons as an NFL GM making moves like that.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:48 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: 7th rounders don't make teams these days Ace
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:49 PM - Ace: He was God awful last year, unless there was another Adams on the roster that we're talking about
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:49 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: They're camp bodies and practice squad guys
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:49 PM - Ace: Oh they don't? I'll bet I can find a handful of 7th Rd picks in the NFL right now
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:50 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: They hang around for 2-3 seasons and then they're in the AFL or CFL....
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:50 PM - Ace: Tell Donald Driver that
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:51 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: I'm not saying it's impossible to make a team as a 7th rounder, but in today's win now NFL 7th rounders have less time to develop and blossom, if they don't show immediate promise they're out for the next guy.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:51 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Donald Driver was a 7th Round pick 15 years ago, the league had a different attitude and feel.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:52 PM - Ace: I won't disagree that 7th Rd picks more often than not don't pan out, that would be foolish. I think you're nuts though if you think a team is going to give up 2 picks for a guy that has a good chance at being cut if he has another bad camp is all
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:53 PM - Ace: not another bad camp, a bad camp that followed a horrible season
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:53 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Any of you ever work in sales?
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:53 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: What do you think agents do? They put a dress on a pig and they sell that ****.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:54 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: GMs do the same thing in trades. Look at the compensation the Bears got for Bennett.
Mar 17, 2016 at 12:58 PM - Ace: You'd need to be Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glen Ross to sell someone on Davante for multiple picks.

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 1:02 PM - Wynnebeck: lol I like how you guys are ******** all over Adams after his 2nd year as a player.
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:03 PM - Ace: I actually still have hope for him. Fact is he was awful last year
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:04 PM - Wynnebeck: I have hope too. Doesn't mean we need to make him sound like the worst thing ever
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:05 PM - Pokerbrat2000: This just in...Davante Adams traded for a 7th round conditional pick and a bucket of chicken
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:05 PM - Vrill: and "peanuts" roflmao
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:06 PM - Pokerbrat2000: oh peanuts would be a deal breaker
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:07 PM - Pokerbrat2000: and I am just having fun.....I haven't closed the books on Adams......but.....his current value......is nothing but hope and potential
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:08 PM - Pokerbrat2000: For some reason he reminds me of Jarrett Boykin
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:10 PM - Pokerbrat2000: People like to talk about how deep we are at WR, but beyond Jordy and Cobb, what do we really have?
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:11 PM - Pokerbrat2000: 4 guys with the combined experience of ......
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:13 PM - Vrill: I still bet we draft a WR somewhere this coming draft
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:15 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Okung signs to Broncos
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:15 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Ryan Clady is on the trading block
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:16 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Adams for Clady!
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:17 PM - Ace: We don't need a LT or a OT at all for that matter
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:22 PM - metallicblaze: Not sure about not, but there was a time where our T's didn't hold a candle to Clady. He might even be an upgrade over injury prone Bulaga as is.
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:22 PM - metallicblaze: now*
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:26 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I hope so Vrill (drafting a WR), as much as I want to believe in our "bottom 4", something tells me at least 2 of them won't be a Packer by this time next year.
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:29 PM - tynimiller: I think we trade Adams for AJ Green
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:29 PM - tynimiller:
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:29 PM - tynimiller: And if not him then i'll settle for a trade for Kuechly
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:29 PM - tynimiller: :lol:
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:33 PM - Ace: Why stop there, Check in on how high Pittsburgh is on Antonio Brown. Can't hurt to ask
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:37 PM - adambr2: Saying Adams isn't worth a late round pick isn't "*****" all over him. It's reality.
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:37 PM - ThePerfectBeard: I mean let's get Odell for Adams straight up
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:40 PM - Ace: I got it, a 4 way deal where we get Odell, Brown, and Green and the other 3 teams can fight over Adams
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:45 PM - ThePerfectBeard: I don't see why this hasn't happened yet
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:45 PM - ThePerfectBeard: Maybe because we're not asking for enough. Throw in Julio
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:47 PM - Ace: Because that would be crazy, come on
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:51 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Who needs WR's? We have Masthay!
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:53 PM - Ace: http://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2...te-2016-nfl-draft-projection-1-75-million-hit
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:54 PM - Ace: According to this, after draft picks are signed, the Packers will be roughly 13.3M under the cap still for what it's worth
Mar 17, 2016 at 1:59 PM - Pokerbrat2000: 14M when we ditch Masthay
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:07 PM - Ace: Neal has visits with Seattle and Detroit lined up
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:13 PM - 7thFloorRA: 13.3.....thats enough to give kuhn his 1 mil and roll the rest over like teddy loves to do

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 2:14 PM - Ace: That would be a very Ted move, I can't argue with that
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:22 PM - Pokerbrat2000: next year I am making buttons that say "Free Agency...Don't be a Ted" and selling them to disgruntled fans
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Anyone know how many GM's have been fired in the NFL since TT was hired? Just curious, Google isn't being kind with this one.
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:48 PM - longtimefan: 13.3 with three lineman that have to be extended as well
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:52 PM - Pokerbrat2000: there is a method behind the madness......
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:55 PM - adambr2: Paying Crosby/Guion/Perry $14M combined certainly hasn't helped.
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:55 PM - adambr2: For one year I mean.
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:56 PM - adambr2: We don't need to keep 3 linemen Longtime. I'd be surprised if they keep both guards after 2017.
Mar 17, 2016 at 2:58 PM - adambr2: Both will command top 5 guard money, probably $8M or more a year each. I doubt we will be willing to have both of the top paying guards in the NFL. I think one stays one goes.
Mar 17, 2016 at 3:41 PM - SeahawkFan80: Yall aint gunna ditch Mastay.....He has skillz.
Mar 17, 2016 at 3:43 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Both are currently being paid top 10 money (Sitton 6th and Lange 9th) but I think you are correct, two guards paid top 5 money won't happen
Mar 17, 2016 at 3:43 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Skilz at....holding the ball for Crosby
Mar 17, 2016 at 3:45 PM - SeahawkFan80: He has that 10 yard kick down pat.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:00 PM - Jz3: Every single person in the Packers organization should be fired. Murphy, Ted, MM and whole coaching staff.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:01 PM - Jz3: When you have the best QB in the NFL and struggle to win playoff games your butt should be on the line.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:04 PM - Jz3: I love the Packers but hate everyone one in this organization right now.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:05 PM - Jz3: Team is nothing but a bunch of soft underachievers.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:05 PM - Jz3: making the playoffs in a pathetic division with the Bears, Lions, and Vikings with the best QB in the NFL on your roster does not mean much.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:06 PM - Jz3: It's not even like this team wins the division with ease. This team struggle just to win the division or like last year does not win it.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:08 PM - adambr2: Jz3 bleeds Green and Gold!
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:08 PM - Jz3: Well I live in De Pere and work for the Packers and I hate TT.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:10 PM - Jz3: I started working for the Packers full time 4years ago. Full time employees get super bowl rings. I'll never get one with TT as GM.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:13 PM - Jz3: TT is not even responsible for drafting Rodgers. Only credit TT gets in that draft is Nic Collins. The people that lobbied for Rodgers no longer work here.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:14 PM - Jz3: You have GM that had nothing to do with drafting Rodgers, and a head coach that preferred Alex Smith.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:18 PM - Carl: Yeah, just ignore that Rodgers certainly did not play like the best QB in the game last season and blame it all on TT....
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:20 PM - desertdog55: Some cheese with that.......?
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:24 PM - longtimefan: Jz--- age?
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:26 PM - longtimefan: Cuz u must have hated Shermam.... He did what Brett wanted and never sniffed SB
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:36 PM - Pokerbrat2000: If every single person in the Packer organization gets fired Jz3.....wouldn't that leave you unemployed?
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:37 PM - Pokerbrat2000: "works for the Packers"... Get your ice cold coke here!
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:38 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I'm an owner of the Packers and I am quite happy.
Mar 17, 2016 at 4:39 PM - Pokerbrat2000: seems like some of my employees are a bit disgruntled though.
Mar 17, 2016 at 5:03 PM - adambr2: Before you said you work for the Packers. Last time you said you used to work for the Packers and Bahktiari was about to sign a contract. What's the real story here?
Mar 17, 2016 at 5:07 PM - adambr2: You remind me of a guy I went to high school with. He manged to fly a helicopter over Super Bowl 30, dated a supermodel, and made out with Britney Spears, among many other things, all before the age of 18. Quite remarkable.
Mar 17, 2016 at 5:08 PM - longtimefan: My godson works for packers too

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 5:20 PM - Pokerbrat2000: First man on the moon too adambr?
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:13 PM - adambr2: I wouldn't be suprised Poker.
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:15 PM - adambr2: Jz3, I'm not going to say you're a liar because I don't know you, though your story has changed a couple times. I will say though, if you are a Packer employee, it's a real shame that someone who pretty much despises everything within the organization right now has that job. Working for the Packers would be the dream job of many people.
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:21 PM - NelsonsLongCatch: People on the internet aren't are not what they claim to be? Here's my shocked face:
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:22 PM - SeahawkFan80: Adam....Spot On.
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:22 PM - Pokerbrat2000: think someone is off scrubbing latrines?
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:22 PM - Pokerbrat2000: not that there is anything wrong with that
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:26 PM - SeahawkFan80: When I was working as a groundskeeper at the local golf course, I was also the latrine master. It was very much appreciated by all. I made them shine as crappy as they were...he he he
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:35 PM - longtimefan: Jz says he works full time for them... Maybe it is a spot where he never sees any one important.. Or maybe is Ted's right hand man
Mar 17, 2016 at 6:42 PM - SeahawkFan80: I could type something here.....but I think discretion is the better part of valor......

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 17, 2016 at 9:09 PM - Green and Gold: The tough part is mental. Will #87 be willing to make the cuts and fully trust the knee when making cuts at full speed?
Mar 17, 2016 at 9:10 PM - Green and Gold: Will he still be able to play without hesitation?
Mar 18, 2016 at 2:50 AM - desertdog55: I need my boots, cuz it's getting deep in here now.
Mar 18, 2016 at 4:09 AM - desertdog55: I kind of know what some of the players go through now. Just had arthroscopic surgery to repair my MCL and remove some of my meniscus....the first 48 hours are a *****. Especially for an old guy like me....lol
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:09 AM - longtimefan: Just had shoulder scoped and cleaned up.... And it its horrible
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:09 AM - longtimefan: This is also my 48 hour mark
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:57 AM - 7thFloorRA: TT signed someone!!!!!!!!!!!
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:57 AM - 7thFloorRA: James Starks has returned.....not all that interesting but probably important since who knows if eddie is going to be fat and drunk next season too
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:05 AM - longtimefan: So does that count as a free agent signing?
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:08 AM - 7thFloorRA: sure. He was on the open market for a week.
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:09 AM - 7thFloorRA: I wonder why other teams don't want him. This has to be the 3rd time he has hit the open market and always comes back.
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:31 AM - longtimefan: Fumbles... And now maybe age
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:33 AM - Ace: I'm sure he was resigned for peanuts
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:39 AM - 7thFloorRA: I bet he gets far less than awful perry
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:49 AM - Ace: "awful Perry" is a little harsh don't you think? Injured Perry I can get on board with
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:54 AM - Pkrjones: Welcome back, James! Good signing, he knows what's expected and the playbook... step right in and work on the "little things" (ball control, blitz pickups, etc).
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:05 AM - Ace: $3M per for Starks
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:05 AM - adambr2: 2 years /6M for Starks. 3M a year for a backup RB. Incredible. Ted has lost his mind this offseason.
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:05 AM - Ace: 2 yrs $6M
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:14 AM - longtimefan: Miami was after him too
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:15 AM - longtimefan: #Packers RB James Starks' deal is worth $6 over two years. He'll get $3M this year, but his cap number will be less than that, source said.
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:36 AM - 4zone: James back is good. Now, please work on holding on to the ball.
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:37 AM - 4zone: adam-Starks isn't strictly a backup. He's more of a dual guy. Crockett, now he's a backup.
Mar 18, 2016 at 7:39 AM - 4zone: We are now in day 2 of the 2.5 day J. Cook over/under TT FA Teaser Special. Looks like an over to me.
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:12 AM - ThePerfectBeard: He's only getting $3 per year? That's like two cheeseburgers at Wendys.
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:24 AM - 4zone: All right, back to optimism mode folks. DT in round 1 this year gets us at least a run stuffer, if not a pass rushing threat. 'Maybe' both. Then I think we get a TE in 2 and LB in 3. OT/OG, RB and another LB in 4. I'm smell'n it guys.
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:30 AM - 4zone: We are getting close to getting our own guys done. I think Neal will be the last one for a while, if we get him back. If we don't, not such a great loss. I was hoping to have Raji back but I think the man's priorities are right. Enjoy it big guy.
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:43 AM - PackerDNA: I don't see Neal coming back. IMO, Kuhn is the last resign, and I give that 60/40.
Mar 18, 2016 at 8:48 AM - 4zone: Who will be our TE? Henry won't be there for us in Rd 2. Hooper or Adams? Vannett is getting a rep for stone hands. Not good.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:00 AM - Ace: Won't be Henry
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:03 AM - 4zone: NCAA Tournament and Packer Chat. Yea1
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:04 AM - PackerDNA: The more I see of Higbee, the more I like, but he seems to be moving up.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:05 AM - 4zone: Not sure of HIgbee's speed.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:06 AM - 4zone: If he's there in 4 he might be an option but I don't see us waiting that long to pick a TE.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:09 AM - Wynnebeck: Starks is back? Ok. What's going on with Cook though?

Mar 18, 2016 at 9:23 AM - sdh09e44: starks
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:23 AM - sdh09e44: good to hear
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:23 AM - sdh09e44: wouldve made no sense letting go a guy that just had the best season of his career
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:24 AM - 4zone: Cook is out there floating around in TT's mind
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:40 AM - PackerDNA: With this signing, I don't see Cook, Dansby or any other outside UFA happening.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:42 AM - 4zone: The problem I see with signing a FA at this point is are they really an upgrade or just an additional body? Same same?
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:45 AM - Ace: Why DNA?
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:49 AM - PackerDNA: Ace; besides the usual 'TT's M.O.' type arguments , IMO he'll want most if not all of what's left put aside, and I don't know that anyone left out there would be enough of an upgrade to spend a good sized chunk of that.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:52 AM - Ace: Fair enough. I still think he signs a couple guys as someone earlier posted Starks cap hit isn't going to be $3M this year.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:55 AM - 4zone: ACE, I think we'll sign bodies later but UDFA's most likely now. If TT doesn't see Cook as a long term solution, then it's a waste of money.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:56 AM - Ace: We just don't know though. I have a $5 bet with a buddy of mine that he signs 2 guys by the end of the weekend and I'm planning to collect lol
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:57 AM - Ace: I know what you mean though. I've taken a very early look at next years #'s vs who we need to re-sign and he may need to roll over all the money left if he has any visions of keeping the o-line intact.
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:58 AM - longtimefan: Ace--- I been preaching that for week
Mar 18, 2016 at 9:59 AM - longtimefan: Starks is not a 3 mill hit...thi k I heard 2.... So that leaves us about 13.1
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:00 AM - PackerDNA: My guess is Stark's cap hit will be around 2M.
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:26 AM - Ace: Yeah, I knew I saw it somewhere.
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:30 AM - sdh09e44: i think cook is the only FA who will be an upgrade
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:30 AM - sdh09e44: anyone else is just adding someone of equal talent of a guy already on the packers
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:31 AM - Ace: I think Dansby could be an upgrade at the right price. He was still pretty productive last year
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:31 AM - sdh09e44: I guess terrence knighton too. but that probably wont happen
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:32 AM - sdh09e44: yea youre right
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:32 AM - sdh09e44: might make sense to get him in all honesty
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:33 AM - sdh09e44: then you can go with one of Billings, Reed, Robinson, Rankins in the first round. Then an OLB in the second round to replace Neal if he goes. Maybe Noah Spence, Kevin Dodd
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:33 AM - sdh09e44: like that guy from Boise State too. Correia
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:37 AM - PackerDNA: Knighton played on a 1 year deal in '15, so IMO he'll be looking to get paid. Scratch him. Many recent mocks have Billings and Rankins moving up, Robinson and Reed dropping.
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:38 AM - Ace: I believe Knighton has publically stated he's looking for a 1 yr prove it deal
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:44 AM - PackerDNA: I find that surprising, Ace. IMO, not a good move proffessionally. But if he's serious, hell yeah, I'd give him a call.
Mar 18, 2016 at 10:53 AM - Ace: I don't think it was him actually so nevermind
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:05 AM - sdh09e44: yea seems like ragland and lee are jumping up too
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:06 AM - sdh09e44: billings and rankins too
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:06 AM - sdh09e44: ....good thing is not everyone is gonna jump up......and if guys jump up..then that means guys jump down
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:07 AM - sdh09e44: so who knows what type of player can fall to the Packers......
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:15 AM - 7thFloorRA: what about Owen Daniels on a cheap as dirt old man who just got cut contract? He isn't amazing but he seem to split the seam fairly well and get open.
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:26 AM - Vrill: Daniels still looked pretty good toward the end of last season.
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:36 AM - 7thFloorRA: I would rather have him than Cook. Cheaper, less years on the deal and while he is not massive playmaker he fills a need and you can count on him.

Mar 18, 2016 at 11:38 AM - Green and Gold: Stark's too consistent to not have with Eddie's inconsistency.
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:45 AM - 7thFloorRA: ya they would have been screwed if they showed up with fat/maybe drunk eddie and the PS running backs.
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:48 AM - Ace: He's a drunk?
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:52 AM - 7thFloorRA: that was a possible theory floated here by someone that knows someone
Mar 18, 2016 at 11:54 AM - Ace: Wow, yeah, beer has alot of calories in it. I would know
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:29 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Which is why Arian Foster is a good addition for us.
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:32 PM - Ace: F>R, I can't believe I'm going to say this but I actually agree with you. One caviat though, I'd want an entirely incentive laiden deal with VERY little, if any, guaranteed $, 1 year prove you can stay healthy.
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:32 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: That's already assumed.
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:33 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: I know I'm counter culture to you guys way of thinking, but in another world my ideas make sense.
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:44 PM - Ace: Well, I wouldn't go that far but this one IMO does
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:52 PM - longtimefan: Not a theory on Eddie... Im very confident in my two sources
Mar 18, 2016 at 12:57 PM - Ace: Could someone tell me what Starks cap hit is this year? $1.5M bonus and base salary of $1.1M. Does that equate to a $1.85M cap hit this year then? There are active roster and pro bowl bonuses in there as well do those apply to his cap charge?
Mar 18, 2016 at 1:30 PM - PackerDNA: Bonus and base on this deal come out to $1.85M cap hit on this deal; the other stuff, depends.
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:29 PM - Vltrophy: Tray walker Ravens CB 4th rd pick dies from motorcycle accident
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:32 PM - PackerDNA: Terrible news.
Mar 18, 2016 at 3:44 PM - longtimefan: So sorry for the Ravens and his family
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:23 PM - Vltrophy: Hulk Hogan awarded $115M from Gawker sex video tapes. $55 for economic loss & $65M for emotional distress. Give me some of that emotional distress
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:33 PM - Eli Haugen: 115 mil doesnt really seem fair... AT ALL!!!
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:45 PM - The program 61: how about emotional distress if you watched it
Mar 18, 2016 at 5:46 PM - 7thFloorRA: well by the time its appealed and settled idk how much he will get but since gawker is a business he should get a good share
Mar 18, 2016 at 6:25 PM - Raptorman: Program 61, you mean "my emotional distress" if I watch it? Because watching Hulk Hogan having sex would be extremely stressful in my book.

Mar 19, 2016 at 4:36 AM - The program 61: right raptorman
Mar 19, 2016 at 8:23 AM - Green and Gold: Agreed.
Mar 19, 2016 at 9:31 AM - ExpatPacker: I'm really sorry to hear about Tray Walker, but as someone who loves to ride a motorcyle over hill and dale and long distances, it's absolutely insane to get on a bike without a helmet or a headlight
Mar 19, 2016 at 6:26 PM - desertdog55: 23 is just a baby....to be young and (RIP) wreckless again.

Mar 20, 2016 at 7:50 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: I've always wished Florida would repeal that stupid law. All it adds is more death.
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:10 AM - AmishMafia: Freedom. Hate to see the government make laws for things like helmets. It should be a personal choice. The loss of Walker is tragic, no doubt, but it is a wonderful feeling driving without a helmet. Head in the wind.
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:11 AM - AmishMafia: Your personal safety and how you enjoy life should be your own decision. As a person who did a lot of extreme sports when younger, I had fun. I was careful and survived, but it was my choice.
Mar 20, 2016 at 9:38 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Since this is not a political forum let's just agree to disagree.
Mar 20, 2016 at 2:15 PM - Green and Gold: I still feel like TT is going to take a RB higher than expected this draft.
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:00 PM - Vltrophy: Packers can get out of Starks contract after next year & save themselves $3M
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:02 PM - Vltrophy: Bradshaw told Big Ben to wait until he retires to get a bike b/c if he was to get hurt(which he did)& end his career it would void his contract. This was after Big Ben won his first SB
Mar 20, 2016 at 5:04 PM - Vltrophy: ILB or NT will likely be TT first rd pick
Mar 20, 2016 at 6:59 PM - Vltrophy: Mark Murphy said the Packers aren't going to overspend. That's good. Spend something. U can't overspend if u don't spend at all
Mar 20, 2016 at 7:25 PM - adambr2: We've already overspent plenty this offseason. Just not on external free agents.
Mar 20, 2016 at 8:20 PM - Green and Gold: Luckily running an NFL franchise is different from the perception of running a franchise from those outside the business.
