The Packers lunatic fringe is more visible because of sheer numbers. The Packers have one of the largest fan bases in all of sports. If the fringe percentage is the same as with other teams, then we end up with larger volumes of nut jobs. - JustJeff

I'm stunned that nobody has picked him yet. He again will prove why he is the (2nd) biggest difference maker on the offense.
That's exactly why nobody picked him. Him proving to be a big difference maker on O is not a bold prediction, it's the common fan expectation.

Yeah, picking Jones is NOT bold.
There is no boldness at all after the 1st game in picking the new QB. Love has a middling game and he wins last week's Here's Johnny, over Gary who produced 3 sacks and 4 QB hits in 23 snaps.

Picking Gary last week had some boldness to it, we knew he would have limited snaps. And he produced the best game I have seen from a Packer since I started watching the Packers in the early 1960's. Even better than Favre's game after his father died. But what was really a poor performance by Love trumped that. The plain fact is that for 3 quarters Love had a bad game, probably the worst game he will have all year. The plain fact is that the D, led by Gary, held the Saints to 10 points.

I respectfully leave this contest. There is nothing bold in it. Maybe next year. Now, if it were run accord to a boldness standard, the QB should get a minus 4 vote handicap. Jones, Watson, Doubs, Clark, Gary, Rasul, Alexander, etc. should get a minus 2 vote handicap. Other starters and 1st round draft picks should be neutral. Someone like Carrington Valentine should get a + 2 vote boost. And any UDFA this season should get a + 4.

But should Carrington Valentine get 2 interceptions and hold the QB rating to under 50 against his coverage, people will still be voting for the QB. So there is no point in me choosing Valentine because he can't win the contest even though he can be the clear standout of the game.

thats impossible, that performance ranks up there with play off wins.

Gary did what many edge rushers before him have done, Love did what no one prior to him had done in G&G, and thats why he won Heres Johnny

Feel free to produce the handicappers sheet. :yoshi: And they're off! It will never be perfect otherwise I'd have won every week instead of never. :munch:

Doubs was our only consistent offense, but nothing spectacular.

Quay would have this hands down then he botched a play that was a major turning point in the game

Reed had the biggest offensive play and the 2-pointer.

These are my considerations this week and I'll think on it.

A week of underwhelming choices.

19 tackles by Quay. He was all over the place.

Yeah, the bonehead penalty that extinguished the comeback, too. Guy trying to make a play but didn’t understand the rule.

But he’s my guy so I’ll go to the next guy, whoever that is. Thinking Doubs for now but will sleep on it.

I know one thing - it won’t be the O-Line. Egads.

I'm between Quay and Doubs but giving nod to Quay. Quay was everywhere all night and having a good game in the midst of a bunch of nothing. Gary and Slayton seemed to be having some games too, but Quay was doing it all. The penalty sucked and I'm not going to beat him too much over it. I didn't know it when it happened. I didn't see anyone on here mention it as it happened and I'm pretty sure the refs got a call from an eye in the sky to drop the flag after the play and call it because they didn't know it either. It killed our slim chances, but he played a damn tough game.
