All I read is a bunch of gossip statements that really have no value. Most experts have us in the top 5 of the power rankings, and from his view the only 3 positions we are comfortable in are FB, TE, and WR. Two of them probably being the least valuable positions to build a team off of. Most teams would love to have a Probowl QB with a team drafted 3rd year system guy waiting in the wings.
We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

You disregard gossip statements from one media guy yet put stock into power rankings? I've always thought power rankings (especially in August for crying out loud) are a complete waste of time.

As for your avatar, that is actually the British women's bobsleigh team 🙂 :pottytrain1:

No such thing as a perfect team. I wish people would get over this idea of perfection. Even the 72 Dolphins had weaknesses.

As far as the Packers go.

Their weakness is pass rush and secondary depth.

With the pass rush, they're going to rely on Clay Matthews, B.J. Raji, and Cullen Jenkins to get it done. Most importantly, they're going to rely on the scheme to generate pressure. That's been done before and it'll be done again. Whether the Packers can do that remains to be seen. I have no idea. I haven't seen enough to form an opinion on who's improved and who hasn't. I also don't know what Dom Capers has up his sleeve. We'll just have to wait and see.

For the record, every team is thin after their first few corners. GB is no exception. I like Woodson and I think Tramon Williams has made some strides this preseason. We'll see though. When Al Harris is back, I think he'll take time to get back to full strength. He may never return to that form actually. Still, there is a weakness there.

As well as the LBs, Green Bay's LBs are awful in coverage. Most LBs are but I'd argue the Pack have some of the worse covering LBs in football.

However, if you generate pressure up front, then you can disguise your weakness in the secondary or at LB much easier. Solid pressure can make a below average secondary look above average. In the case of Green Bay, I think the Packers have a solid secondary, so you can imagine what pressure would do for them.

I say we make a trade offer to denver for Brady Quinn, he is going to be 3rd string in Denver so it shouldn't be to bad
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

This thought definitely crossed my mind, but if he ends up being relegated to 3rd string in Denver behind orton and tebow, would he be better than flynn at that point, (starting experience or not).

beast (12h) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
