Why not? He'll be a 30-year-old who is playing for a potential big, long-term contract. The guy came to camp in better shape than he ever has this year, and ended up having a very good season both offensively and defensively likely because of that. That same motivation will be there as he plays under what is essentially a 1-year deal in 2022. He was playing a for a big contract this year. If he can’t get a big contract this offseason…why would he be dreaming of one next offseason? I’d much rather have Castellanos…but I don’t think we can afford him. Honestly, not sure we can afford Garcia at a QO price.

The ceiling is way higher for Castellanos and his track record is honestly in a different universe. Castellenos has posted an .800+ OPS 5/6 of his past 6 years. The shortened 2020 was his only year he has not...and was just barely under .800. Garcia on the other hand has two .800+ OPS seasons in his entire career, which were separated by three years.

We would have to be out of our minds to give Avisail Garcia $18.4mil.

Haha, no, I don't have you blocked. I don't think I have blocked anyone actually. I must have missed you answer as I was away from the thread for awhile and obviously it was growly steadily due to Rodgers current situation.

On another note I would be shocked to see Jordan Love ball out even if it meant nothing toward long term success….like Matt Flynn did that one year for us. Love has some NFL seasoning and the opposition on defense is pretty bad. Add in a great supporting cast, he should at least be competent.

Maji and Tomzcak are 2/3. Dilweg isn’t a bad guess, but he was 2 years prior to Favre. The third guy started a single game in both 1990 and 1991, but managed over 130 passing attempts in his three years. I thought maybe someone would get it because he spent three years as a Packer and started games in different years…but it is a pretty random guy in the grand scheme. The guy is: Blair Kiel.

Posey the person and his three rings will get him in he BOF with his stats, easily. If he didn’t have the MVP this may be a different convo though.

It's kind of crazy to think there are people in their late 20's who have seen roughly 99% of Packers games with a HOF starting QB. (Matt Flynn, Scott Tolzien, Seneca Wallace, and Brett Hundley are the answer to the trivia question you are asking yourself right now) Try guessing all three QBs that started a game for the Packers in the year prior to Favre. Old Packers fans can probably get two of them...but there is a trickier #3.

Exactly no one is grilling him over testing positive. Most everyone with a level head realizes that this Delta variant sucks, and is highly contagious to even those who are vaxxed. The vax does, however, seem to be keeping symptoms mild to almost non-existent, which was the goal to begin with. The crux of this situation is that he seemingly alluded to being fully vaxxed, when he apparently was not. This will be notable thing to watch as this plays out. My understanding is he could BARELY come back to play the week after the Chiefs...but he can't really afford COVID to linger around. That is where not getting vaxxed could potentially bite us in the butt.

Waiting for the report of Rodgers digging through the trash the get Adam's left over food and intentionally get COVID to help catapult his way out of Green Bay. Honestly I just don't care enough about whether he is vaccinated or followed protocols. So many people are getting it despite the vaccine it really just isn't worth grilling a guy over testing positive. Plenty of guys, I am sure are not following the protocols. Hopefully he misses the one game and along with life we can go.

I am guessing the amount of guys actually following protocols is less than a passing grade. They could use Rodgers as some type of example....but I am sure they have ignored protocol breakers on a weekly basis.

Also, I believe Kurt Benkert or whatever also has COVID. So if Jordan Love goes down our QB will be…umm, idk.

I honestly don't get the big deal here. He told reporters he was "immunized". He didn't say he was vaccinated so it is literally impossible for him to be lying if that is the "lie" people think he said. That really isn't on Rodgers if reporters and other people were too stupid to ask a follow-up question to see if that meant vaccinated. This is going to be made out to be a bigger deal than it is because it is Aaron Rodgers and all people want to do is create drama wherever possible.

They are joining the Big 12. While that won’t be a nasty powerhouse with Oklahoma/Texas leaving, it will be really notable when they expand the playoff and a Power 5 is an autobid.

No one said you had to keep your light on for the entire time.

Probably because it isn't really the hazard you think it is.

So Lamar Jackson is wanting to be paid how much to not even be a Top 10 RB in the league?

2011 - 12 2015 - 16 2019 - 11 I think it is mostly perception, I checked some other years and it is around the same. Not because we don't draft as high, but because competing teams just don't have the space or time to mess around with these kind of players. I don't think it is a coincidence we drafted a player in 2015/2016 and then haven't drafted one since. The only player we would consider drafting is one that is MLB ready and they legitimately can be counted on to hopefully be a positive player all year. As you can imagine those kind of players usually aren't available or it is pretty hard to evaluate and know who they are.

Rule 5 drafting is always a tricky bridge to cross. There are many players we don't want to lose, but that doesn't automatically mean putting them on the 40 man roster. Guys in Single-A aren't going to get picked up etc...so the risk of losing them is incredibly low and protecting them is not necessary. It is better to leave a player off the 40 man versus having to remove them later on when we need the space. Howell will certainly get protected and maybe they protect Weston Wilson if they believe he will be a big part of infield depth if/when injuries happen. Weston Wilson is actually a guy that is a popular pick up in these drafts. MLB ready and versatile. A team could certainly pick him up and put him on their bench.

Someone being brutally gored by a bull warms your heart?

I completely disagree with this take. Just this game alone, there were numerous situations where he either was the person delivering the hit on the defender, or he was hit in the backfield and powered for positive yards. He's every bit the runner we were told he was. Best explanation I can think of was that they wanted the more sure-handed Jones in their in the 4th considering AJ's recent but atypical fumbles. Which is at least a logical thought. But I was right there with the rest who said to hand it to him 4 times on the goal line, as there simply isn't a likely scenario where he doesn't score on one of them, save for a fumble. Did you not care to quote the part when I talk about him doing well in the Cardinals game and how I wanted him to run it? I’m simply referring to over his career so far he hasn’t really hasn’t ran people over in his career. Calling a guy a bruiser back I’d expect him to never get tackled by one guy and almost always go forward when being tackled. If I hand that guy that ball to get one yard I’d expect him to get it every single time, essentially. I’m not saying he isn’t a strong runner, I just don’t think he is so good he is some automatic guy to touch the ball. I don’t even think he is head and shoulders above Aaron Jones in that area. I’d probably want Dillion taking it, but Jones does give them more options and is honestly a smarter runner with better vision. Dillion has made strides, but he is still an inexperienced guy who will just run straight into a wall of lineman instead of bouncing it off the intended running lane. I just don’t find it to be a major crime he wasn’t on the field. The bigger crime was probably the lack of running in those situations…not necessarily who should have ran it.

AJ Dillion had a great game and I was upset as anyone he wasn’t getting the ball more today…but let’s be real here, he really hasn’t proven to be that huge of a difference maker in his career. Heck he really hasn’t been proven to be the “bruiser” people like to call him. Hardly has he been poorly used so far in his career. Maybe today is the start of him proving he needs a bigger “bruiser back” role…but I really don’t feel his has demanded that much before.

I’m pretty sure that WR didn’t think that was even a pass…

Dude, what? Lol

Lol what a joke.
