    Yes, the cap is not an imminent concern for Green Bay before the start of the league year. What they intend do after that is what they'd need to clear cap for.
  2. PeaveyFury
    Frankly, I'm not ENTIRELY sure that's the plan. They may take 2023 as a reboot year to clear cap and reload for 2024 and beyond. There's validity to that mindset, though I do think the team is more talent-laden than we seem to give them credit for.
  3. PeaveyFury
    Eh, maybe an acquiring front office might not as they don't have first-hand knowledge. But I'd think that it's at least part of the factor in the Packers' decision even if it's a small one. If he's as standoff-ish and holds grudges in public, I'd imagine that it's far worse behind closed doors.
  4. PeaveyFury
    I can't disagree with any of this, including the Van Ness comments, as he's quickly becoming an interesting (and very possible) option at 15. To finish the though on the safeties, though, I do think that there's a jumble of those 2-3 round guys and none of them really distinguished themselves to make themselves the clear guy to go in that range or move up, which is opposed to the TE class where most of them showed exceptionally well at the combine.
  5. PeaveyFury
    Though your overall point is fair, the difference between 4.36 and 4.39 isn't overly significant, IMO. But the difference between 4.36 and Branch's 4.58 is pretty stark. To also answer Nate's question, I think 40 time is relevant as part of the overall concept of RAS, which the Packers seem to value quite high. You have a guy like Branch that has been linked to Green Bay in mocks, but some note that he may be best to rotate to slot in nickel coverage. At 4.58, you worry about him getting torched by speedier slot guys in that role. Also, the overall point is that there are a lot of bodies at safety, but mostly jumbled in the 2/3/4th round range. No one seemed to elevate themselves above the rest of that grouping at the combine. Essentially, these guys already had something pushing them down a bit, and then compounded it by not really running that fast.
  6. PeaveyFury
    Safety class as a whole were kind of underwhelming at the combine for 40 times. Interested to see how that alters projections for the class.
  7. PeaveyFury
    I appreciate the TE thoughts as well. Deep draft which should play into Green Bay's needs, but as noted, the combine could result in overdrafts. The only one I could be convinced to like at 15 right now is Meyer because he seems to be complete. I'm hoping one of the tier behind him make it to 45, as I think any of them in the 2nd are good value. Really, if you think that edge, TE, WR, and safety are where the Packers should look to, it's a pretty good draft class for those positions. Obviously pending measurables, scheme fit etc.

    Interesting. That is genius if the interest rate is lower than what is on the mortgage. If the mortgage rate is lower than the HELOC, I don't know if I agree. Plus it saves you the closing costs. I feel like I'm missing something here because HELOCs are (quick google) much higher than mortgages. Above 4% while my mortgage is 3% and a new mortgage would be 2.65%. Yeah, I’m not following either. Wasn’t the tax deductibility of HELOCs also eliminated by the tax reform a few years ago? Even if you got a sweet intro rate on a HELOC, you’d have to think that a deductible mortgage rate where they’re at now would beat that unless the HELOC was at a zero intro rate. Then, you’d be subjected to the floor rate unless you were constantly churning your LOC.
  9. PeaveyFury
    I'm still a believer, as PMI is just wasted money even though it's tax deductible if you're still able to itemize. I haven't run any calcs to determine 'lost' market ROR on the hypothetical difference between a 5% down payment and the 20% PMI threshold, though.
  10. PeaveyFury
    Exactly my opinion as well. Curtiss pitched in something crazy like 5 of 7 games after being acquired, including fresh off the plane. Zero chance to work with the catchers in advance to get them used to movement, style, etc. Add in less rest than ideal or being asked to face more RHB than they'd probably have preferred Norris to, and they were setup for initial failure, IMO.
  11. PeaveyFury
    He (and Curtiss) got a raw deal by getting forced into situations they wouldn't otherwise have been forced into during the bullpen COVID issues. Now that he's being used as 'planned', the results match what I assume the FO expected.
  12. PeaveyFury
    I think it was hard to fairly evaluate both the Norris and Curtiss acquisitions based on their early performances, because the COVID situation in the bullpen immediately required them to be put into situations that they weren't intended to have to throw in. We'll get to see and more fairly evaluate Curtiss next year, but I'd expect Norris's numbers to stabilize as he's now used more as he was intended.
  13. PeaveyFury
    Why are we solely citing 2021 numbers?
  14. PeaveyFury
    The trade was officially announced by the Brewers.
  15. PeaveyFury
    This is where I'm at until he proves he can bring his numbers vs. RHB back into line.
  16. PeaveyFury
    LOL No...Here's the thing guys..I look at the postseason and the Padres and Dodgers specifically and I ask myself do the Brewers legitimately have enough to compete with them in a 7 game series, without pretty much needing everything to go right. The answer to that is no. Yes, there is ALWAYS luck involved, and the Brewers aren't going to come close to the talent the Dodgers have, but what I would like to see is for them to try to eliminate the need for absolutely every single thing to have to go right. In order to do that they need more pieces. The bigger the better. You aren't going to completely eliminate the "luck" factor, but I do believe you can at least try to minimize it. Well they have been a full run better in ERA than any other team in baseball the last month, and they have arguably a better top 3 in their rotation and a better closer than either of those teams, which are widely considered important components of a playoff team. So I don't know what exactly you are seeing that the rest of us are missing in the comparison. By the way, one if not both of the Padres and Dodgers will have to win a do or die single WC game just to make it to the first round. Also, the Brewers HAVE already played the Padres seven times and won five of them, so they have already technically won a best of 7.

    Except Pomeranz sucked as a starter and then improved when he went to the pen. Norris sucked in the bullpen and we are...keeping him in the bullpen. Wasn't it you who yesterday chastised me for citing a partial season's stats for Berrios, now you're doing the same with Norris?
  18. PeaveyFury
    His LHB/RHB splits are noteworthy. I do think if there's a valid criticism of CC's managing, it's that he doesn't always setup his lefty relievers for success. Rather than using them mainly as out-getters vs. LHB, he often wants to use them in a multi-inning role. Norris seems like a guy that should be brought in when the 'due up' is LHB/RHB/LHB, and he probably should be limited otherwise until he shows that those splits are reverting back to his more modest career splits rather than the absurd difference from 2021 thus far.
  19. PeaveyFury
    His ERA inflated, per his FIP of 3.78. He's been productive in the past two seasons, but not so much this year. Likely hurt by his bad Tigers team, but also possible they see something they can tweak to make him effective again. This staff certainly has a great record of doing so with pen guys.
  20. PeaveyFury
    Am I remembering correctly that the wrestler who was Isaac Yankem is Cain?
  21. PeaveyFury
    Very fair to be disappointed with the ending, and in a lot of ways, the last season. Outstanding series, but the last season felt beneath the quality they did before that. The last season happened during the writers strike which is why it was shorter episode-wise as well as not as good as the other seasons. Thanks for that reminder, as that context makes a lot of sense as to why the season was shorter and clunkier.

    We try to watch them all each year as well. Big fan of The Father thus far, though Kaluuya was very, very good in Judas, which was enjoyable. Minari was your typical well-done Oscar-type movie that may win a bunch of awards, but I didn't think it was exceptional.
  24. PeaveyFury
    And The Wire. Which means its all down hill when you're done with BCS, so slow down! Yeah, it's been easy to binge 2/3 episodes a night for the past several months for obvious reasons. Still some significant stuff on my list like Six Feet Under, possibly Oz, maybe a Deadwood re-watch so that I can watch the 'finale movie' in the context of the rest of the show (and not with years in between to try and remember what had happened!). So, still some good stuff out there. I'm also intrigued by Nat Geo's Genius series- I liked the Einstein season 1, but has anyone watched this beyond that? I started the Antonio Banderas as Picasso season 2, and it seemed far more dull than the first season....
  25. PeaveyFury
    Finished Breaking Bad, watched El Camino (and liked it), now about halfway through S1 of BCS.... really, really good stuff.
