The fact anybody takes anything Colin Cowherd says as knowledgeable and/or insightful is a direct reflection of that persons own stupidity.
Disagree. He has high level connects around the league. He does his homework. He isn’t any less insightful than any reporter/journalist. Has has gotten plenty wrong but he has been right a lot as well.
So, pretty much like a lot of folks in this forum, who do it for free?
He's a shock jock and always has been. Personally, I have no time for guys like him and Skip and Shannon Sharpe.

part of the engage and enrage generation of media. They can all suck it. They either feed you baloney to placate you or make you mad at someone or something with half truth or flat out lie. Not to inform you, but to control your clicks and eyeballs. Do society a favor and turn them off.

And like any professional sports reporter who does it for money. Well aware that he is first and foremost an entertainer, but if he is reporting news on his show, it isn't any less reliable than someone like Adam Schefter reporting it via Twitter. IIRC, Cowherd was one of the first, if not the first, to report Tom Brady's move to Tampa. So in this respect, I would disagree with the OP, which implied that nothing he says is knowledgeable and/or insightful.

any word on Jaire, hoping he just tweaked something, but not liking the way he limped off during that Touchdown

It was a knee. I think he was due for an MRI today.

Apparently walking around, talking with fans with no noticeable limp after the game. Take that for what it is worth.

I wonder why we suffered a string of injuries yesterday, mainly noncontract, yet may not have had any (*fingers crossed*) major ones. Is their stadium defective?

This is an interesting move. Davis was a ILB in college, and a certified a workout warrior (9.88 RAS, 4.49 40-yards...), who was thrust in a big role too early in WAS. This year they tried him at DE, didn't work.

Comments by WAS fans paint a picture of a Quay with even worse lack of awareness and instincts, leading to being late diagnosing and responding. Could be a guy who'd benefit from getting put in limited situations that take advantage of his strengths, especially his good blitzing.

Size/speed -wise SO close to Quay, it's uncanny. If Davis blooms late in NFL like in college, this could be quite the pickup.

I liked Jamin Davis coming out but not as high as the Lions took him. I think he could have some value in a defense that wants to mug the line and out their ILBs in an extremely athletic position to make plays.

The Davis signing was 1% risk and considerable possible reward. Hope it works out for the Packers.

Unfortunately I have little confidence that Alexander or Love will be effective. Alexander probably won't play at all. Love will probably play but will be much less effective than normal. And the Packers will have 3 losses. :(

But they will make the playoffs as a Wild Card team. Whether they win 1 or more playoff games depends on whether these 2 players plus a few more are healthy and effective. And playing to potential. Right now Gary is not playing to potential. Neither is Quay of LVN or Clark or Stokes or Jenkins and Musgrave is on IR. But at least LVN had a good game last Sunday so maybe he is finally getting his game together. Oh, and the Oline had way too many penalties. Hard to score when you are facing 2nd down and 20 yards. Or even 1st and 15.

He was a Commanders pick. I think you are thinking of Jarrad Davis with the Lions.

Thats right. My bad.

I did like Jamin Davis as well though. He was the Kentucky dude who was a super strong athlete.

Just for funsies, guess the 5 worst RAS scores of Packers draft picks 1987-2024.

Somehow all had at least 4-year-long NFL careers.

Fifth worst is actually a Packers Hall of Famer...
Spoiler
1. LB D.J. Smith, 2011, RAS: 0.44
2. DE Jarius Wynn, 2009, RAS: 1.33
3. DT Johnny Jolly, 2006, RAS: 2.36
4. OG Jake Hanson, 2020, RAS: 3.10
5. OG Mark Tauscher, 2000, RAS: 3.46

I new it was that kid Smith as soon as you asked the question, but I didn't want to seem like a know it all, and brag about my astute memory capabilities :rotf: how does a person possibly ras 0.44, better yet why would a team draft them? :thwap:
