The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

I'm sort of amazed that you would write the two statements above in the same post. You would support 90% guaranteed while you still feel uncertain about the product in three years? Hmmmm.
Who was that LB we used to have...go pak go wrote: ↑06 May 2024 17:51Also. Would if Savage made the play in 2020 vs the Bucs? The dude could be close to a playoff legend with 2 rings and a giant a$$ contract.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑06 May 2024 15:32It's weird to think about the "what if" of Savage dropping that INT. Had he caught it and returned it for a TD, we win that game, maybe advance further. And then what happens to Savage this offseason? If he had pick-6s in two straight playoff games, do we keep him around? Or does the front office have the emotional discipline to have made a season-long evaluation as they did?
The NFL is a brutal game.
Nitschke, Skoronski, Favre, Lombardi are great Packer names.

Makes sense. We dont have a legitimate kicker. Its no different than QB. If you have 3 kickers you have none.NCF wrote: ↑10 May 2024 08:14Interesting comments from Bisaccia yesterday. He made it sound like all three kickers are legitimately in the competition and that there are other possibilities in other leagues (Jake Bates) that could potentially be added, as well. A lot of hype around Jake Bates, but I would certainly like to see what he has against these other guys. I think there will be a lot of competition to add him, but our spot seems to be one of the shakiest in the league.
Fix the long snapper problem first. It should be a lot easier to find a LS than a kicker. The punter did a hell of a good job in getting most of those bad snaps down, but it still throws off the timing and the kicker's concentration.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑10 May 2024 09:56Makes sense.

It will be critical for Gutenbumst to find a kicker or we will be another NFC Championship team and not a SB team.
I hear what you guys are saying. But I don't put a lot of stock into what teams are saying about the specialists this time of year. I know a family member who tried out with a NFL team as a punter years ago. He was at TC a few days when that team signed their guy to a large deal (for a punter). The GM and HC approached my family member and were honest with him. Yeah, they signed the guy they were gonna keep. And yeah, they truly appreciated the willingness to compete for the job. But they were gonna keep their guy and they'd appreciate if my fam member would stick around til the cuts for the sake of competition.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑10 May 2024 09:56Makes sense.

I don't mind him. I sort of agree with that thinking also, but I also alluded to the fact that unless he regresses, 50+ million/year will end up being a bargain considering QB inflation as we know it.Papa John wrote: ↑11 May 2024 21:20I know that Colin Cowherd is nobody's favorite commentator, but I agreed with what he said this past week about a potential Jordan Love contract. I can't find the clip, but essentially he was saying that it is too soon to offer a max deal and that he'd be more comfortable letting Love continue to prove his performance for 6 more games. I tend to agree.
As is Hornung, Kramer, Hutson and Sharpe, to name a few.Scott4Pack wrote: ↑09 May 2024 17:11Nitschke, Skoronski, Favre, Lombardi are great Packer names.
White, Rodgers, Collins, Starr, Gregg, Wood, Woodson, not so much.
Bahktiari sounds like more of a Dolphins name. But we can adopt it. (Dave, if you're out there, I love you man!)
The issue isn't paying your upper class players big dollars.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑11 May 2024 22:27The NFL has kind of followed the way the American economy has, which makes sense considering it’s an American sport.
Pretty much there is an upper class and a lower class and it’s killed the middle class IMO. Love is going to be an upper class QB. If Kirk Cousins is getting what he’s getting at his age coming off injury Love is going to shatter that. First year starter and was 2nd in TDs and was absolute &%$@ in the first half.
Pay the man. Not paying the literal leader of your team sends an awful message to the players that if you prove yourself, you gotta do it just a little longer to get your pay day.
can we call it a supply and demand situation? to me those two things determine pay scale in all walks of life.go pak go wrote: ↑21 May 2024 08:49The issue isn't paying your upper class players big dollars.lupedafiasco wrote: ↑11 May 2024 22:27The NFL has kind of followed the way the American economy has, which makes sense considering it’s an American sport.

The issue is paying your mids upper class dollars. Guys like Tua and Prescott should not get $50 million plus deals but they likely will. That is where NFL teams need to be bold. And the more young or cheap quarterbacks that win...the higher the chance the mid quarterback market comes back to earth.
