Nope. I'm the guy who said they're a top 10 team, not a Super Bowl team, and unlikely to win their stacked division. A couple of posters had their feelings hurt over this and made a strawman that this means they suck. I don't see the Brewers as a World Series team, but capable of a good season. Since the leagues are about as different as imaginably possible, the two teams really don't have the same metric for what's a good season nor should they have the same expectations for what's reasonable. But why don't we not discuss the Packers in a thread called NL Central, and leave this thinly veiled goading crap out of it?

It would be super weird to concede the season 3GB of 1st on April 30.

Every move they have made beginning with firing Bud and since, has been a desperation move. Bud should have been kept if they were going to land Dame. I don't know that they win anything, but I am nearly 100% certain it goes better than it has. Kuzma was a classic "Well we have to do something." I am indifferent as to trading Middleton. His career is effectively over. He can be a 15mpg guy for someone somewhere, but he's not a star anymore. And everyone knows they are desperate, thus likely why they had to toss in something to get...Kuzma 🤮
-
Two minutes? It was 35 seconds. That absolutely should be safe. Kuzma sucks, you're right. But Middleton is cooked. This series was not a Middleton away from winnable.

Again, there was NO PLAY drawn up at the end of regulation. It was pass to Giannis and let him do whatever. It was idiotic as a) he was double teamed b) if he gets fouled, he can't shoot c) someone was open by means of said double team.
-
These last few years have really been a shame. Giannis has put together some crazy statistical seasons, and they can't escape the first round. Just as a basketball fan it sucks, because he's too iconic of a player to not have any iconic playoff games the last few years and likely not again until he's somewhere else.
-
1 pt lead and the ball with less than the shot clock left. Did not even shoot the ball, somehow.
-
There was absolutely nothing drawn up there. That was Doc being Doc and saying something like "big time players win big time games, go shoot it Giannis!"
-
When I need a game-winning shot, I definitely want Giannis shooting a fadeaway from the baseline into two defenders...
-
Stokes was a Bulldog too.
-
Honestly, I might have more fun rooting for Giannis on a contender than I would watching him lead the Bucks to 44 wins. As long it's not like Indiana, LA or Miami, I'm fine with it.

I didn't say you said he was a bust. I don't think you said he was a bust. But if we are giving "passes" on Eric Stokes for being hurt, Javon Walker certainly deserves one as he had already reached star status in his 3rd year. He produced, but more than that he was a 6'3 215lber that ran a 4.38 and was a triple jumper at FSU. Jordy Nelson was a great player. I think Jennings was really good, but a notch below Nelson. Jennings was soft as a cupcake, avoided contact in any context he could, and never had Jordy's other-worldly instincts. I don't think there was a better back-shoulder WR in the NFL than Jordy. But they didn't have the measurables or talent that Javon Walker did, and I think that's significant when the topic is the Packers drafting first rounders. Walker was precisely the kind of talent that people have wanted the Packers to grab in the 1st round. I don't really believe that Jennings or Nelson do what they did without Rodgers, though I don't think Nelson ever got the respect he deserved around the league, because, well, you know. I think they're good in their own right, but I do believe Walker would have been a star just about anywhere if healthy. Clearly, Jennings, Nelson and Driver had more productive careers, but I don't think any of the 3 are the prototype that Walker was.
-
Well yeah if we're going to compare career totals for a guy that blew his ACL in Week 1 of Year 4 and was clearly never the same again. I think your post implies that he didn't live up to being drafted #20, which is a bit obtuse to me as he ascended every year in the league, topped out in his 3rd year as one of the top 5 best WRs in the league and then blew out his ACL. For my money, he was a much better, more talented player than Donald Driver. Walker was a prototype #1 you build an offense around; Driver was usually not even the best WR on the team unless the team was very bad. IMO, Walker was the most gifted WR the Packers have had between Sterling Sharpe and Davante Adams. I wouldn't argue with anyone claiming Jordy, but Walker was that level of talent. If we're taking a snapshot of his career stats, Bill Schroeder was better. I love DD before the mob comes for me, but his trademark was always grit and longevity and toughness. But he was never a true superstar.
-
I remembered Walker being pretty damn amazing before his holdout so I wanted to look it up; his last season in GB was phenomenal. He was 3rd in the league in yards (1382 - a lot more back then than it is today), by about 20 yards on 20 fewer targets than 1 and 2. I remember him being a magnet that season, coming down with anything that went his way. Then he ended his holdout, got hurt in Week 1 thus proving his point, went to Denver had one OK year but was never the same. Talent wise, he was every bit the star he was picked to be; just got derailed by that injury.
-
I don't know if the Brewers will be very good this year, but I would think, I don't know why, that people would learn to calm down after so many years of this. It's APRIL. Even if it were June and we were 6GB, I'd be saying there's a lot of baseball left, but it's APRIL. It takes one stretch of going 8-2 for things to reshape.

Douglas was bad last year. I just don't see it. They have a bunch of super young CBs on their roster right now. It's the Packers. They'll let those guys duke it out for depth. I will be very surprised if they sign a veteran unless it's someone cut by another team.
-
I didn't run any tests on Dame but I have injured my achilles back when I was actually athletic. I do wonder if the race to get back from DVT + the conditioning setback that would cause, was causing overcompensation issues and ultimately led to this. Pretty dumb considering they were probably losing this series either way.
-
Yeah you're correct
-
Time to take the Bucks out back. Extra sleep is more important than this. I don't think the Bucks were going to win another title with Giannis, but an ACL for Dame completely slams that door shut, more so because they can't get rid of him now.
-
Yes and it's the only thing we've won since 2021 and the last thing we will, so I'm going to enjoy it.
-
Can't trade Dame and can't play him for a year. Lovely.
-
I'm just not seeing CB as a big weakness. Jaire shouldn't even count as a loss, they were playing without him most of the year. Ballentine is just a guy, Stokes is mediocre and at least held together last year, but no issue with him walking. Valentine may be the best CB on the team; very excited to see what happens with him. He's still 23, and a hell of a 7th round pick. Hobbs should be ok, Nixon the same. They are strong at safety, which helps. Bullard is average depth type of player. IMO there are 3 things to close the gap to being a real contender. 1. Gute is right that the pass rushers are already on the team 2. Jordan Love has a much better season 3. Golden is a significant contributor right away
-
They already signed a corner and more importantly Jaire was barely on the team last season. They also signed two UDFAs and knowing the Packers, it's a lot more likely one of them makes the team or they tack on another team's cuts than it is that they sign a veteran at this point of the year. They would have already signed one of the notable names if they wanted to. Realistically they are at a net loss of one corner without Jaire. +Hobbs, -Ballentine and Stokes.
-
Just felt like Contreras had to go yard or this would happen. -
That is a TERRIBLE call.
