Crosby is a below average kicker.

I can't think of his name, but the guy from Pittsburgh, Jeff Reed maybe? That dude kicks on one of the worst fields in the NFL and he's stellar.

TT's vote is the only one that counts and he likes him. So do I and I trust TT.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Exactly. Not only that, but apparently Crosby isn't one of those "head case" kickers. Pretty down to earth guy I guess.

I like him just fine, have been in the minority at times on that one, but you DO KNOW that the Eagles drafted the potential B O M B at kicker in the 4th of this last draft,

AND

ARE SHOPPPING

Mason's agent has to hate that.

I trust Ted Thompson too, but at first blush I don't like this move. He's inconsistent, and I don't have a lot of confidence that he can make a kick when we need him to.

That said, like Tezzy said, he was better last year, and I certainly don't know of anyone better and available.

I am bit surprised they gave him a 5 year deal. I thought they would go with a 4 yr one.

But they can't afford to let the negotiations drag out this year.

The one quality Crosby has is that he never whines about the holder, the hold, the weather, the field or anything else.

When he misses, he will tell you he missed.

He won't whine about the ball being placed "on a yard line which is a little slicker than the rest of the field" like Longwell did.

Kickers get better with age (to a point) and the Packers believe Crosby is improving.

In 3 years who knows how high kickers will be paid. The Packers are gambling on price and Crosby can be happy with the security of a 5 year deal.

Crosby is an average kicker at best, but hopefully this deal is not too expensive. At least he's not horrible. The Packers have had horrible kickers (and more recently, horrible punters), and it's painful to watch them.

Zero2Cool (5h) : new site, text editor gooder even on phone

beast (5h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (7h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (11h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (12h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (12h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (17h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (17h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (17h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (19h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (19h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (19h) : umm... what?

wpr (19h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (19h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (19h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (19h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (19h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (28-Aug) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
