I specifically talked about L Tackle where you said we need a replacement. They seem to have put Zack out there on an island and he has been up to it. And so I'm wondering about poor Zack in your plans.
Yeah they are. I’m actually happy for their fan base. Long suffering and have been pretty cool with us over the years.
You're over-reacting for some reason and have a thing for Tom. I was referring to the entire OL. Whatever. Full stop.
Totally agree. After watching this season it’s time to go get #12 a TE1 or WR1 to pair in this draft. Hopefully using #32 overall.
That and a derivative of OL, we desperately need a bonafide TE. Marcedes is nearing retirement and everyone except Deguara are FA’s. It’s probably the biggest positional ? going into ‘23. We also missed badly on Jace Sternberger and never really found an adequate replacement.
This is what you wrote
Why do I have a "thing" about Jaire? Easy answer. With his new contract, he became the highest paid CB in the NFL ($21M/year), yet he hasn't played like one.

Again, his "really good year", was perceived to be just that, mainly because of his 11 TD's. I liken it to an OLB having a completely out of whack sack total, fans get all excited and think he's the new stud OLB. Nope, just happen to have a lucky season and one not in line of what you should expect.
Well of course some fans are pissed, the ones paying attention to what he makes and what he does. All 3 players you mentioned were not stellar CB's for sure, however, they weren't paid like ones either. Alexander is making more per year than the rest of the entire secondary (starters and backups) combined, think about that.
Actually, if you listened to what Lazard said after the game, it wasn't all on #12. Lazard felt that he possibly gave Rodgers the wrong body language and made him think he was running a deep route.
Yes, I get that and you are right that, in my words, he is not a Darrelle Reevis. But we wanted him and we paid him ... well. I'm not going to expect Reevis just because we paid the man though. Glad he's here but see your point. Still, not getting mad at him cause he took the money.Why do I have a "thing" about Jaire? Easy answer.

So unless I read that he has been playing with some kind of injury, I'm going to keep saying he is totally underperforming on his contract. These are exactly the contracts that hurt your team, when they aren't played up to.
If you are looking for JA...you will have to skip to....page 2.

So tell me, why are you happy with JA?
I think we don't use him because of the O line problems and when we did throw it to him earlier; it was always those putrid little behind the line of scrimmage throws. He is catching the ball really well when they give him a chance.
Captain's Response
You honestly think he’s going to throw Rodgers under the bus publicly to the media? Cmon.
That doesn't change how I feel about him, especially given his salary. Add to that, if you watch him, unless the pass is to the guy that he is suppose to be covering, he pretty much stays away from the play. His tackling has been tentative, which is why I keep mentioning that I wonder if he is playing with an injury.
and I'm gonna have to take the blame for global warming
I'm not sure about that. And how is it significant when nobody is sacking Rodgers from that side?
Even with Ja perhaps not performing as one of the 3 best corners in the game for parts of this season, I have no issue with his contract at all. He’s playing well enough to justify having him.
oh ok. Yeah right. I’ve gotta hear this. Who disproved that cold weather and wind Doesn’t affect the accuracy or distance a football travels?? Now even Mother Nature is being marginalized!
He isn't performing like a top 10 CB, so not sure why you chose the number 3? Or did you mean top 3 CB's on the Packers?
I actually saw that even back in the 9er playoff game from last year. He delivered quite a hit in the Steeler game of 2021 that took him out. But since he came back it is as if he is gun shy. I could never imagine the great Herb Adderley or Willie Wood ever ducking for cover. They hit people relentlessly their whole career.
I’ll also add that Captain is using “Total FGM. I showed conclusive evidence inside 50 that Mason is superior in making FG. He’s using a stat that’s skewed because Mason has had very few attempts past 50 this season. Even if he hit 1 Kick from 51 yards etc..? it wouldn’t move the average needle but a yard. Had Mason hit just ONE 50+ he’d be 88% kicking and leading the league!!
