I just want guys who have performed on big stages before. I dont like these guys that get tight when the lights get bright because they played in front of 10k people in college. I thought Amari would have been more ready due to his pedigree at Clemson, but im confident these UGA boys wont be spooked by the moment.

It does seem Gute in general has gravitated toward the big programs...not always, but often. I like that.

The Packers have what 2?? guys on the roster who have won a SB...Rodgers and Crosby?? Maybe im missing some guys.
What about college football national championships?? Really not sure.

I hope we bring in a vet just for the sole purpose of having someone who has been there and won that ring. Idc if he can play or not. I want him to show off that ring and show the boys how to prepare in the playoffs. Lafleur and Rodgers are not doing that adequately currently.

In the pressers they talked a lot about championship programs, with the three UGA first rounders in the past two years and also talking up the NDSU program building people who know how to win (Ross Uglem, who is both a Packers and a NDSU Bison beat reporter, talked about how Watson's football character developed throughout his time there, in some podcast I listened to).

Chris Harris, Jr? 32 years old; won the Super Bowl with the Broncos in 2015. Multiple Pro Bowls in the past. Primarily a nickel guy. Likely has the smarts/intelligence to moonlight as a safety in a pinch (sounds like he learned some in L.A. last year). Played 14 games for Brandon Staley's Chargers last year

Man, you described a type; I went looking. I thought about it, I watched one interview with the guy about his impending free agency--said he is waiting for the right spot, being patient, can be a nickel/safety/corner, emergency guy, help young guys develop, anything they want....

Soooo yeah we've talked me into this. This is the right fit. I'm 100% onboard

Okay, $%@# whoever McGinn's scouts are, lol. Classic case of how when everyone you meet is an asshole, you're the asshole.

I don't believe anyone actually speaks that way. He is piecing together bits here and there to form a picture what he wants to convey, overall positive or overall negative. Mostly negative. I would love to see the actual, full quotes.

P.S. The interview:



It's mostly about young QBs, but the last 3-4 minutes gets into Chris Harris, himself. At 10:00 minutes he's asked about what he's looking for in free agency. When the guy is self aware of where his career is and what his role is likely to be "be an emergency guy capable of stepping in and playing any position," "help educate these guys on and off the field," like, that really gives me hope that the signing could actually be possible. He won't be dissuaded by our strong starters.


Also, is there a different thread I should be posting this in? It's not Packers news yet; it's not about the draft; it's just packers thoughts and speculation.

agreed, Bob uses scouts with the most negative slants or opinions he endorses himself, seems Bob is holding some sort of grudge :thwap:

Co-sign pending cost. I have always really respected his game. He doesn't have the length we typically appreciate, but the guy has been a classic case of just get it done throughout his entire career.

Not even an emergency guy for sure, we have an unbelievably strong top 5, and unbelievably empty 6+.

He is immediately the #6 guy, getting dime snaps, and the odds of all 5 guys staying healthy are next to nill.

Guy is a 3x all pro and a Super Bowl champion.

Aaron and Mason are the only guys I am aware of who have rings. I always think you want a few of those guys in January who have been there, done that.

Everyone of the handful here seem to hate this McGinn guy. Not sure why his opinions keep showing up. To me he makes some good points and bad points. Just like everyone.

Maybe it's because McGinn use to be a respected beat writer for the Packers for over 30 years, but has been overtly critical ever since Ted drafted Rodgers, imho ever since then Bob seems to hold a grudge.

please show some of the good things Bob has said about the Packers, it would be great to read anything positive from Bob McGinn

It's still disgusting that the Cowboys had to poach Herb Adderley and Forrest Gregg from the Packers to win their 1st championship. 1971. No class whatsoever. :argue:
