I have heard ENOUGH from these IDIOTS. I can name a tone of teams that one SBs without a great tight-end. I can name a ton of great tight-ends without SBs. Barnett is overrated....that is fact. The defense got better statistically without him! In one of our biggest moments these guys put themselves first. I am done with them. As far as I am concerned, I hope they get cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, probably being harsh on Finley, but I stand by my barnett comments 100%.

Every NFL team has a training staff, and they're all fairly small. If the Packers had like 4 or 5 guys on IR, I bet Barnett would've stayed. This isn't the case. There's 17 players on IR, and you have to add the 53 players already on the team, and the players we have on the Practice Squad. That's more than 75 men the training staff has to take care of, and the injuries that take less time to cure are the ones they tend to first--that way they can get them back on the field.

So you're Nick Barnett, and you know you won't be back until next season, and not only will your teammates not pay much attention to you, but neither will the doctors.

He had to go home.

Mark Tacuh on IR Nov 12th, he has stuck around, seems the staff has time for him?

Nick Oct 15th, since it was a month before Tauch wouldnt the logical reason be that the staff had time for him too??

So your theory that the staff didnt have time is false IMO

what??!?! You have not heard about the situation with his agent, or should I say agents. I think Wilde mentioned it a lot on the radio last year about how the team was worried about him. Lots of red flags!

That is probably the worst rebuttal anybody can ever make.

Tauscher? Seriously? You're gonna mention that guy? He went to school in Wisconsin. HE LIVES IN WISCONSIN.

Not to mention his CAREER IS OVER. If my career was over, I'd love to go on free plane rides to watch the Packers from the sideline.

Tauscher is somebody we should've ditched two years ago, and it's pretty obvious that the reason why he's with the Pack is the free plane rides and Packer games.

The training staff literally has no reason to be watching Tauscher. He ain't coming back next year.

If youre talking about raw talent, I dont think there has been a better receiving TE to come around than Jermichael Finley has. His ability exceeds even Tony Gonzalez. All of Finleys problems have to do with off the field actions and work ethic. Durability is also an issue that concerns me, but there are not 10 TEs with better receiving ability or athleticism than Finley. There might be 10 better players because of other variables, which could include work ethic and maturity. In terms of ability, Finley is special.

Yet another thread with a misleading title. (This one is courtesy of Mike Florio, but maybe we shouldn't just repeat what Florio writes. Rodgers was not asked about the picture and said nothing about the picture, and even the players who stuck with the team were not originally going to be in the picture, so the two things are not connected except in Florio's fevered imagination.)

Anyway, I'm not sure why Aaron weighed in on this issue of players on IR. He has a good touch with the media, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Maybe he needed to say what he said in order to assert his leadership to his teammates or something. But you would think that at this point he would want to throw a wet blanket over anything that has to do with the players on IR, whether or not it has to do with Picturegate. One thing that seems likely is that Nick Barnett has sealed his fate and will not be invited back next year. Too bad. I used to like him.

beast (18-Apr) : 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.
