It would be such an Aaron Rodgers move to just retire now after all this.
-
I think the division could also be pretty competitive. The Lions could be playoff caliber, the Vikings are usually in the thick of things. The Bears obviously stunk but depending on the pieces they add and Fields' development they could improve quickly.
-
Packers Twitter will explode if they take a WR in the 1st, lol. I actually think if they land an extra 2nd, someone like Hyatt or Downs would be a nice potential target.
-
I think if the plan was to run it back and expect to be in a similar spot to 2021, that plan had to include Davante Adams. Trying to run it back with a few rookie WRs and low end FAs looked like a flimsy plan even without the benefit of hindsight, IMO.

The difficult part if we end up disappointed with trade compensation is knowing we could have almost certainly received a great deal more at this time last year. The old adage about it being better to move on a year too early than a year too late applies.
-
Would anyone have any interest in Zach Wilson in return (in addition to pick compensation) as Love's backup?
-
I'm excited to see what we get in trade while being prepared to be disappointed. I'd expect something conditional, but would be disappointed with a Favre type return. I'd be happy to land the Jets 1st this year if its guaranteed, even if that's the only piece. Anything more would be gravy. Prediction - their 2nd this year (#43 overall), and a conditional 2nd next year which can become a 1st.

🤣 literally said it was a nice streak and the only reason we lost is the 76ers played out of their mind that game. Yes I was critical of Mids but having him healthy and fully effective in the playoffs is so important to our success as we found out last season.
-
Was a nice streak. 76ers played out of their minds tonight. Middleton has been plum useless this season. Here's hoping he's healthy and fully effective by the time the playoffs roll around.
-
Also, half not joking.

Club wins Burnes' arbitration case (source)
adambr2 replied to Brewermania101's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That begs the question, why is a verbal "dressing down" even a necessary part of the arbitration process? Surely the arbitrators have access to all the data and comparable they need to render a decision and don't need to have it presented to them in an argumentative format. -
With all that said, let's make no mistake, Boston is really, really good. I'd put it at 40/40 on whether the Bucks or C's see the Finals...with 20% for the field (Philly mostly).
-
Is it encouraging that the Bucks just took out the #1 seed defending EC champs in a huge game, or discouraging that it took OT at home against their B team to do it?
-
Does Crowder have anything left? Serious question for anyone who may have seen him play this year. I don't dislike the acquisition, we have had some success with defense/veteran/culture acquisitions at the deadline and others have fallen on their face. Ibaka was our big one last year and to say he looked completely washed would be far too kind of a statement.
-
We do have back to back HOF QBs. We also, for a number of reasons I've gotten into in various posts (Joe Barry, Jordan Love draft, Rodgers extension, Savage option, etc etc) don't appear to currently be an organization that is very well operated. Both of those things can be true. As an aside, I never understood the point of throwing out the league leading championships in a debate that has nothing to do with any historical comparisons. It's a neat historical anecdote, and I guess a nice trump card to play in the face of Vikings fans, I just don't really know what 11 championships that occurred in a different league context outside of most of our lifetimes has to do with the modern state of the franchise. I would guess that the 30 years of HOF QB play that you mentioned yielding only 2 NFL championships would be considered largely disappointing by most outside observers.

#1: The NBA is very different from the NFL in that regard. The NBA is definitely superstar controlled with very little leverage for the actual teams since they can't hope to compete without stars that want to stay there. #2: The Packers cannot both continue to pay Aaron Rodgers and field a contending team around him. They have given him far too much control of their future and it will affect their outlook long after he's gone. Each "run it back" attempt is going to become progressively more futile.
-
"What's your plan going forward?" "Dunno, whatever A-Rodg wants us to do." This is totally normal and not at all indicative of a dysfunctional and incompetently run organization.

Yep, it's possible. It's not wise if they have any sort of long-term outlook, but I wouldn't put it past this regime which I've definitely begun to question the competence of these last few seasons. The Packers can run it back with Rodgers and probably some of their existing pieces if they restructure Rodgers and other pieces and push more money out into the future. The Packers have already maxed out their credit cards, borrowed from their 401K and taken out a second mortgage. They're pretty much just asking all their creditors for extensions now.

I remember how many years that people called for Dom Capers' head. And it was always rational to do so, but the counterpoint was always valid -- he did have a track record of some success in the past. There is no rational counterpoint for Joe Barry. He was a bum in the past and has unsurprisingly continued to be a bum in the present and he infuriatingly continues to be employed at a job that he has a long track record of being bad at.
-
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/packers-defense-picked-one-nfl-133549832.html Heard a lot about job interviews this offseason for Evero, Gray, Bicassia, etc. Anyone been able to keep track on how many interviews Joe Barry has had so far this offseason?
-
Purdy is *expected to be* full-go in 6 months. Obviously it doesn't always work out that way but I'm not sure where it's coming from that he's out all next season.
-
Didn't he essentially do that last season with his new contract? He'd be walking away from a lot of money to retire now. That's all a team can do to make a player commit to future years-- make it financially painful to walk away. Any player could walk away after any season whether they're 23 or 40.
