I thought that this was the first year Driver was seriously hampered by injuries. I would say that if it happens again, we move on. Until then, see if he bounces back.

If he doesn't then let him go. If he does, he will make it worth keeping him around for a while.

It is probable the production slip was from the injuries not slowing down. However, that could be masking a slowing down. There is also no way to tell if the the injuries are because of age or just because of football.

This year and maybe this pre season will tell.

Mike & Ted will decide if it's injuries or age with Driver that slowed down his performance. If I had to make a bet today, I'd say he's on the Packers. With our scheme, he has an important role. I'm guessing the question is if he's #3 or #4, depending on how Cobb pans out in his first year.

Jordy of course has youth on his side. Both are superb route runners. Both are gamers. Both have huge hearts.

But we'll see. Driver's numbers did drop a lot in 2010 and that was my concern. Age is cruel to a football player. I'm really hoping it was just injuries slowing him down. I really want to be wrong.

That's an interesting statement.

I'm not sure Donald Driver is as fast as Jordy Nelson. I'd definitely say Donald makes cuts smoother than Jordy.

Not a cut.. but does anyone else have a feeling that Flynn may be dealt here soon.. has a good game under his belt against a top tier team and we will only "control" his rights for a short time longer..

Think Matt Hasselbeck and Aaron Brooks... or Mark Brunnell..

There are whispers that Flynn may be traded for Brohm.

Hmm...that all depends on the sexual orientation of the person doing the trade. 🤔

As for the WR race, my money's on Chery.

beast (6h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (11h) : meh

Zero2Cool (15h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (15h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (15h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (18h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (18h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

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.
