We need a REAL PUNTER!!

[Zartan]

There is no Risk. How could it get worse than it already has? The risk is not getting someone else and Schum costing us a game in the Postseason.

In trying to find something positive about the Packers to hang my hat on, as well as to plead guilty in my pre-judgement of the signing of Jacob Schum, I think we finally may have found a punter!

While Schum has had a few mishits, for the most part this guy has been awesome in compiling his 45 yard average. Getting long boots when appropriate and pooch kicks inside the 10 when asked.

The way this season is rolling, he may end up being the Packers MVP for 2016.

Have to admit I was calling his signing a HUGE mistake after the first few weeks, but he has been hitting the ball well and flipping the field position when needed. Sorry Jacob... keep doing your job, well in the midst of this hellish season. Hoping TT has the sense to re-sign you for a few years before he leaves 1265 on Jan. 2nd.

Pretty true, but so sad that this is where we have to look for a silver lining.

Agreed, but I bet if we put our collective heads together, we might come up with one or two more silver linings! Those new ball bags the Packers are using look nice!

I agree that Schum has significantly improved over the last few weeks. The Packers currently rank 23rd in gross and 17th in net punting average.

At this point the punter position is least of our worries.

Remember how recently it WAS near the top of the list, though?

Maybe we were just wrong

No maybe about it.

That sadly seemed to be the mantra of TT for the 2 years that Masthay struggled. While I agree with you that there are bigger fish to fry in GB, finding a dependable punter was and had been an issue in GB for too long, so it is nice to see Schum performing the duties at a higher level then what we had previously seen. One fire out.....38 more to go.

As you alluded to, can we list the positions for which this ISN'T true?

QB, OT, K, C

If only old me came into contact with future me, old me would not of said this.

Wow, makes even a pessimist cry.

I think some of us have held our collective breath that the very same thing doesn't happen to us on the "Defending Janis" thread. Not that I want Jeff to play poorly, I just haven't expected anything but.

I think everyone quickly forgot how bad Masthay was.
