    I'm happy for Cooper that he has been able to establish an MLB career, but he's just a guy. He certainly isn't the one that got away or anything like that. He was traded for Tyler Webb which is about right.

    Sucks that Augustin didn't work out. I thought he might be a George Hill clone. He looked pretty washed up, though.

    LOL @ the crummiest fans in professional sports being mad at Giannis for sitting on their court.

    They made a good 5 big mistakes in the last 40 seconds of the game, two by Middleton. That was the textbook way of blowing a 7 point lead in 40 seconds. They had this one if they didn't just screw up the end. Here's hoping for a good OT.

    I hope that will be the most brutal shooting half that we have this season. It would be hard to do worse.

    I figured 3/9M for Williams so kind of close. I'll miss him here. If we hadn't signed Jones I'd take Williams back on that deal.
  7. adambr2
    Would people feel differently about the Jones extension if it had been for clear top dollar -- say 4/60 with 30M guarantee?

    No worries at all. I have not bought any boxes. I have a Roku on every TV in my house and I just use those.

    Do 1st/2nd round RFAs ever actually get offer sheets and move to other teams for compensation? Maybe I just don't pay much attention because I cannot think of any examples in recent history of it actually happening. My guess would be that the 2nd round tag scares teams off, but we'll see. What I wouldn't venture a guess on is whether or not Tonyan actually ends up playing for the tender or signs a long-term deal.
  10. adambr2
    A 2nd round tender for Tonyan is the correct decision. It's not cost-prohibitive but we won't just lose him for nothing. I'd have to think long and hard about letting him just walk for the 2nd if someone signs him to an offer sheet.
  11. adambr2
    Yes. That's the tier I was speaking of. The $85 a month Choice.

    Has anyone really been mad at Stearns for not trading Hader? Maybe a couple of people in game threads being reactionary when Hader blows a save, but that's about it.
  13. adambr2
    I assume you get your local channels? If so, this seems like a great way to go. Yep, I do. Well it says I do on their lineup, I haven't checked in on those yet.
  14. adambr2
    Absolutely this. These moves are not in a vacuum. Independent of everything else, of course I would be happy to have Aaron Jones back in the fold. But does it mean that our #2 starting corner will be coming from the discount bin next season? Well if it does, I think I would have rather just rolled with Dillon and a cheap backup to him.
  15. adambr2
    The thing is, you can be excited to have Aaron Jones back and realize he makes us a better team, and still question whether the money spend on him and the pick spend on Dillon is the best use of our resources. You can be both of those people -- and I'm definitely one. You can definitely do that. Or, we can acknowledge that Gute has a pretty good track record of success when he 'goes off the beaten path a bit' and give him the benefit of the doubt, which I understand that most fans aren't willing to do for whatever reason.... I'm glad Gute is our GM and he's done a good job. As with any other general manager/manager there will still be personnel moves and in-game moves that I don't necessarily agree with, and I may say so at the time. But I do acknowledge when I end up being wrong about said moves. Absolutely I thought Gary was a very questionable move, for example and it looks like it could end up being a pick that really pays off.

    I'm excited from a pure football/Packer fan standpoint to have an offense that still has a nice talented weapon like Aaron Jones on it, Brew. I will do my best to adequately express that in my initial reactions next time.

    There is really no point for me personally to have live TV if I don't have regional sports, so it's worth it to me to pay a bit more. I was a Hulu Live subscriber and dumped them for AT&T Live simply for regional sports. Thoughts so far: - I did not think $85 a month is overly cost-prohibitive if you're already paying for Hulu Live or a similar company. Hulu with unlimited screens was pretty close to the 85 already without regional sports. - No complaints so far. I can watch the Bucks and Brewers again. The layout is slightly different as it would be with any change. - The free HBO max for a year is a big perk. If you're already subscribing to HBO Max, this basically knocks your effective price down to $70/month.

    Maybe we are just going go have a year where we have 53 guys signed to the veteran minimum and use the rest of the cap to eat all our dead contracts. That's fairly close to reality, and what they should be doing. Some of us have been calling for this for a longggg time. Give Rodgers a couple more years with as much talent around him as possible. If they have $50MM in dead cap 4 years down the road, sobeit. You can rebuild fast in the NFL. It actually makes sound business sense if you think about it. Circumvent the cap to spend what you want for years and then just have one single year where you bite the bullet and then start fresh again.

    I think they took Dillon with the expectation of losing one or both of Jones and Williams. That hasn't changed. This is an offense predicated on using multiple talented backs. heck, it wouldn't surprise me to see another one drafted or signed before 2021. Losing Jones and losing Williams aren't nearly the same thing. I think this offense can do just fine with or without multiple talented running backs. They're a luxury but if you're saying it's a necessity for them I wouldn't necessarily agree. They still have Aaron Rodgers.
  22. adambr2
    That's quite possible. As I mentioned the small signing bonus seems to lead itself to something that could end up being a 2 year deal... Rosenhaus mentioned he thought Jones would get better offers in free agency but really wanted to stay.
  23. adambr2
    One or two is one or two more than we had making major contributions for us as rookies. Wirfs and Winfield played huge roles in Tampa winning it all.
  24. adambr2
    I know you hate questioning of the draft picks but when you had a team that was a play away from the Super Bowl with a rookie draft class that really didn't contribute whatsoever in 2020, I think it's fair to question it. Questioning draft choices in year one is pretty lame, that’s why. It takes time to evaluate. Look no further than the 2019 Packers picks and reactions to see just that. That doesn't mean that you can't have a rookie draft class that comes in and makes immediate valuable contributions on a contending team. Look no further than Tampa Bay's recent Super Bowl run.
  25. adambr2
    I will say to be fair that the $13M seems like a really low signing bonus. Haven't seen all the contract details but it feels like it's set up where they could walk away in a year or two if they really had to.
