Classy sign-off by him. A pretty decent player paid to be a great player. It's not like you have to be either great or you suck and there's no middle-ground. I don't really understand why there's much debate around him at all. Weren't there a decent number of kickers drafted last year who turned out to be pretty good? Especially considering the length of their careers and that good ones still don't break the bank, using a draft pick on the chance to get a good one still seems like good value. It's not like 5th-7th Round position players have any more chance of making it. And for how much kicking can change a game but a backup-backup LB doesn't, I'd rather take a flyer on drafting one than trying to find the surprise good one from the FA heap.

What are the chances that Willis ends up the better QB than Love?
GAME05 replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
Fields couldn't beat out Russell Wilson on the Steelers and it sure looked like he was even worse with the Jets than the Indiana Bears. Heck, the season is over and I think Fields is still holding onto the ball. Willis at least gets the "but bad team" excuse with Oilers. Not a ton to go on with the Packers but there has to be a little fudge room left for week-after-week play from wherever imperfect scouting puts him. 2/$60 seems a good price for potentially competent in the absolute perfect year to be a FA QB. One can argue Love's ceiling, but probably safe to figure Willis' ceiling is where Love is now. And that makes Love the better QB than Willis. And that's not a dis to Willis because that's still a big fat paycheck. -
The brother's daughters are all gonna be like 6'9"+ and there's a lot of volleyball in the family plus friends with a Top-5 D1 girls volleyball coach. But I suspect the obsessive dedication, wads of money, practice-time requirements and whole-family commitment required to actually reach college-scholarship talent is just going to be too much and won't happen. It's unfortunate kids are running themselves ragged to make the team which for 99.9% of them is supposed to be just a fun after-school sport.

Too many good infield prospects coming up at once to still hold onto Turang. Plus there's also Luis Pena who isn't all too far away yet. Unless there's a wave of busts that's too much talent to be a backup or stuck in AAA. Trade a few years of Turang control for a top-tier SP prospect, where we do lack high-end prospects. And if you thought Hader and Peralta were tough to lose, trading Turang is going to have people switching fandoms. It's gonna feel like it did when we didn't pay to re-sign Molitor.
-
Presumably adding depth to the bullpen in a potential/probable Megill trade, too. I'm starting to really like the trade. Jett gets a steady position at 3b instead of bouncing a rookie around and making the bet he can at least duplicate Durbin's offense. Unless Jett is supposed to be the best defensive SS prospect out of all our others, why put him at the more difficult SS position? Seems a good gamble for a potential top-line starter.
-
That's my confusion, too. Next offseason would have made more sense without potentially having to rush prospects. Obviously they see Jett as ready to get a lot of playing time, but you'd think his rookie status would bring more caution to that thought, plus his versatility would have given him tons of ABs already. Plus if Mitchell misses a lot of time again and Perkins struggles, that should mean Williams at CF more and at that point who plays 3B? Or the Brewers are just scared about their pitching depth for next season and a 3b need is better than a SP/RP one.
-
Packers would have to be asking themselves if a new defensive scheme would turn Hobbs around.
-
Packers offseason started somewhere around Week 14.

Catherine O'Hara, 71. She was Moira Rose in Schitt's Creek and was amazing in all those Christopher Guest movies.
-
If you thought it was tough having to talk about Peralta, just wait until after next season when Turang starts entering that conversation.

Well that makes him exactly the sort of player the Bucks will trade their first-rounder for!
-
If Gannon doesn't prove himself right away he'll be on a short leash. Eight years, at the most.
-
Landing 2-4 would be the most amazing stroke of good fortune since drafting Giannis. Which of course the NBA would never let happen to increase the chance that Giannis goes to NY.
-
I had the impression the Packers hired Gannon because he was only a day or two away from being hired by somebody else, the Packers kinda liked him so they had to move really quickly and didn't really have anyone else in mind.

Peralta and Myers traded for Jett Williams and Sproat
GAME05 replied to torts's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Super Utility, then 3b/SS if either don't hit next year, and then a longer-term Turang replacement when he gets too expensive in arbitration. A great futures move the Brewers have to make and I'm surprised they were able and willing to get quality over quantity. Was expecting two barely-top-100 prospects and a third scrub. I get the "go for it" idea, but the Brewers going for it and missing pushes them way back when they can't just rebound through FA like other teams. -
I think MlF is the kind of coach who can make bad teams good again, just as Andy Reid is an amazing playoff coach who probably couldn't turn around a 2-15 team. Just two different kinds of coaches. Plus a heck of a lot of value to a coach who is good with QBs (considering a bad team would have a young one) and one who you know will bring stability instead of risking it on a rookie HC who might not. Every coach has his warts, and "Sure he can win 14 games, but can he lead you to the SB?" is the smallest wart of all. I'm still in on a new HC, but I can absolutely see why a team would give up a pick for him. If I were a team like Tennessee, I absolutely would give up a 2nd for MlF.
-
The Packers have always wanted stability, so losing both MlF and Hafley would be the last thing they'd want. But if there's any thought to promoting Hafley, they better hurry up. Could Jim Leonhard be our next DC?
-
Oregon QB Moore going back to school. Jets lose what would have been their next guy. Moore probably thinking "Of all the teams I wouldn't want to go to...."
-
If you ask me how my boss is getting along while he's still my boss, you're sure to get a glowing review.
-
I was rooting for the Jaguars, just because they still felt like underdogs. But now the Bills like probably everyone. For the Packers, against the Vikings, against the Bears, for the underdog. In that order.
-
How many people said "Who?" when Hafley was hired, yet apparently he was a well-known name in NFL circles? Probably a lot of guys out there we just can't see from the outside, in. Really think Stefanski will get a HC job right away next year? He's apparently an old-school coach and I wonder if GMs will worry he'd not gel with the younger players. He certainly didn't with Sanders, though Sanders was maybe impossible. Still, though, how many more are just like Sanders, especially now showing up at rookie camp as millionaires already?

Manfred proposes two Expansion Teams and Re-alignment
GAME05 replied to jay87shot's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm interpreting the post as a frustration about payroll disparity but expansion happened to be in the way. -
I read "historical pieces" a little differently and think it'd be neat to read old ones from brewerfan.net if they're accessible not just for memory road but to see how right/wrong we were about player assessments.

Manfred proposes two Expansion Teams and Re-alignment
GAME05 replied to jay87shot's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I split things East/West in my OOTP game because that's the way it should be. Better for rivalries because there's really no reason Yankees/Mets or Brewers/Twins shouldn't play each other more often to promote local rivalries, plus way better for the real players to cut down on the travel miles. Mississippi River isn't a perfect split of teams. I also added Portland in my game but you still have to pull a few East-side teams and make them play in the West. -
With the expanded playoffs it doesn't seem like that's near the possibility it used to be. July 4th last year there were only five teams more than five games out of the Wild Card spot in the NL. If it were any big factor in the strategy we'd have ourselves a Josh Hader situation most every year and I'd venture a guess more hated by the fans than an offseason move.
