I feel certain they're going to take a WR with where the market is on WRs. -
UW Hoops off season-----Recruiting & Transfer Portal
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jim French Stepstool's topic in Other Sports
This is probably a broken record. But this crap has ruined the sport for me. Half the fun of college hoops was watching your guys develop for 4 years. Knowing that someone coming in as a freshman might play 1 minute per game and be the anchor 3 years later. UW is just playing the game they have to, I get that, but in the same way I never consider Russell Wilson a true Badger, Victory Onuetu isn't one either. Then watching all the guys who break out go bail for someone else. This is awful. It needs reform yesterday. -
Yelich to IL with Adductor strain
OldSchoolSnapper replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Every year, I kind of chuckle when everyone panics in April, May and into June. But this year is looking rough. There is no offense in this lineup now. We all knew Yelich would have an extended absence, but there is a whole lot going wrong at the moment. If it was just hitting, I wouldn't be at all concerned, but it's that everyone is hurt. There's no getting around that. -
Turner has value. He could not have been utilized worse this season. He is a system player 100% and we don't have any system, let alone a bad one. His use was completely puzzling at times.
-
He's gone. They sat him to prevent further injury and anyone using it to negotiate a weaker return this summer. They didn't move him at the deadline because they correctly, for once, assumed that there would be a larger pool of suitors this summer. There will be teams not truly contending at the moment that think he can get them there, versus the handful or so of teams that would have added him during the year. He's gone though. I am as happy about it as you can be. He's too good to watch waste away here. We don't have the assets or flexibility to make it work, I'd rather see him play the twilight of his career as a winner. And it's our only path forward. They need draft capital/infusion of youth to ever be worth watching again.

Don't worry, Bo Melton will be rostered for 5 more years.
-
The WR market is wild. I'm totally happy to get #153 and a future pick of any value for a WR that is the definition of "just a guy." $12.5 million for a guy whose yardage total has dipped each of his 3 seasons and lost PT to his peers. He's an OK WR, but still wild.
-
I think it's clear for a couple seasons now the Packers defensive strategy is to rush the QB and force turnovers. They didn't do the latter last year. That is a thing that's very luck-based, and they can't be worse than they were last year. I don't think they really care about the run defense. They'll make it as good as they can with what they have, but they're not going to go after assets that are known for it. They think their offense is good enough to win most games if they just aren't a sieve for opposing QBs. It seemed to be accurate last year until the very end when they just lost too many guys to survive. I am not too worried about DET. I think that goose is cooked, they had their shot and blew it. CHI is the king at the moment.

I don't get upset about stuff like this, but there are so many cool things you could do I just don't understand how duds like this happen. There are so many things in MKE you could weave into a jersey; Harley, the old whale painting, German or Native heritage, homage to festivals, County Stadium, the old Braves team, etc., whatever. Just spitballing, but Wisco is so lame.
-
I'm just not seeing how Wisco connects to the city.
-
I don't have spectrum nor any TV service. I will likely just pay the monthly thing when August rolls around. I don't watch enough of it to justify the service.
-
I've held off on Brewers.TV or whatever. Almost cracked today as I love the day games, but I'll probably wait in the hopes they offer a deal at the midway point or something.
-
Watson may not be better than Adams but he is a different type of WR that brings something to the table Adams did not and does not, and frankly no Packers WR really has this side of the 2000s with the exception of maybe Javon Walker. Maybe Nelson. He's a go up and get it guy. That's not really the prototype GB WR, which generally has been a route runner with good hands. Even the guys we've had who have been good deep threats tend to run themselves open, they're not what Watson can be. I love Watson. I hope they extend him again, I really do. There is a big gamble on his health, sure, but I would take it.
-
I don't think he's any good, really. But a one-year Walmart contract is pretty much a dream for Minnesota. No commitment, an upgrade at the position, and if it goes well they will extend him during the season. I'm hoping he doesn't faceplant and does just enough to get them to commit to a bigger deal and be stuck with him for a bit, because I don't think he's a real answer, but he's good enough to keep them in purgatory.
-
He's been injured so much that I'm not sure he'll get any kind of monster deal from anyone. But if you don't, good luck getting somebody better for less. Nobody on this roster does what Watson does. I would definitely try and extend him during next season if he's playing well. Three years for $75m. With his injury history he'd have every reason to say yes.
-
I really don't agree that this is a brutal offseason. They are shedding a bunch of meh that hometown fans tend to overvalue as they do in every city. Mediocre guys get hyped up by the club's socials and every "he's a gamer" line gets amplified. There are scores of guys who I was constantly told were so important even though it seemed they never did anything, then they leave and you never hear from them again. Nobody they've lost was that big of a deal, hell I'd say Willis is huge as he won games every year he was here. I would have liked to see where Enagbare's future here went, but even he was already 26 and probably at the ceiling. Doubs was a solid WR but no way he was getting paid with the cheap options they have on the roster. They have shored up the DL a little, the CBs are bad but they were getting by on it until Parsons and Wyatt went down and they added another pass rusher. I think it's kinda clear the Packers plan on defense is to get to the QB and just don't get gutted by the run. Their success hinges on those guys being healthy, not the mediocre CBs shining. Biggest concern to me is the OL. It's not good and it's thin. I wouldn't have any objections to them using 2 of their first 3 picks on OL. Outside concern to me that I don't hear much about is RB. Loved Wilson but he is gone now, Brooks has to take a bigger role and Jacobs looked awfully washed at points last season but then toward the end looked like he might have just been hurt. Lloyd seems like a prayer at this point.
-
NBA sure has changed a bit. I would have thought it was unthinkable to have Giannis and not make the playoffs in the East. I don't think it would have mattered if he'd never been hurt. They wouldn't be there anyway. They are quite possibly the worst positioned team in the NBA right now.
-
He's been released twice because of money, not performance. He was really good for SF then got hurt and became an obvious release. Minnesota signed him to shore up what they thought was a contending team. He played well but it does not make sense for them to pay him. 33-year-old linemen are tough to get excited about on either side of the ball but that is what the Packers will be able to squeeze onto their books. Can't possibly be worse than our interior DL last season. I'm assuming he's a rotational pass rusher in GB. They really need Wyatt to stay healthy.
-
I won't give them this much credit, but it could be the wildest 4D Chess of all time. Agree to something knowing you will back out when the physical confirms what you already know. Mess up everyone else's FA by having them think he is off the board and tie up resources elsewhere.
-
Hey, at least we won't have to watch our first rounder barely play this season.
-
Yeah, similar thoughts. The Bears seem to be on the right path. That's the kind of thing that would throw it off the rails.
-
Honestly would be a huge relief to just have someone catch the ball and have spatial awareness.
-
Kinda hope the Bears get him if that's what it takes?
-
This is the one I knew was coming but am not sure what to make of it. I waffle between just being a homer and thinking Doubs was a pretty good player, and accepting that he was just a serviceable WR. He made some incredible catches but the volume just was never there to call him a real difference maker. He did seem to be the guy Love would go to in a big moment. I think Golden made it obvious this was coming and that he and Watson are the clear 1-2, but there are obviously health questions there and with Reed as well. Those 3 + Wicks and Williams there was no way he was coming back.
-
Of course it was terrible but it was for a single year. If you are going to blow it, do it that way. The original contract was 4 years for $48 million. The truly mystifying thing is why they didn't just bring Stokes back for $3.5 million.
