I think you might be firing up some stuff of which you have zero first hand knowledge. Do you know anything about this kid and his story? I don't, but I'm willing to wait and see what he brings to the Packers, and I trust their staff.

This tweeted from Josh Sanchez @jnsanchez Editor In Chief at FanSided:







He didn't get drafted because he was taken off many boards due to questions about an enlarged heart. He's been cleared, and I have to say he handled it pretty well from his own comments on the issue, where he stated he just has to take a different path to the NFL. That is pretty positive to me.

Check out this interview, and note his first two players he emulates after his tide teammates... of all players it is Matthews and Peppers. This was an interview done way before the draft...

http://recruiting.scout.com/story/1378086-hd-video-alabama-lb-adrian-hubbard?s=73 

He comes off in this interview as a pretty polished, well spoken, confident player who knows what he wants to do in the NFL and what he brings to the team.

I think we stole him away from some pretty serious teams because of Lacy...

Walter Football wrote what they wrote for a reason and so did Josh Sanchez at Fansided. Trying to discern the motives is never a 100% proposition but I'm inclined to believe the kid has issues more than I am to trust Fansided. A lot of times to get interviews with athletes you have to make them a deal. Sanchez may have told him he'd put out the word he's fantastic. We don't know but that happens in the media world. Why would Nawrocki put that out there? He caused a furor when he wrote something similar about ... Geno Smith? I don't recall for sure but all this stuff came out to counter what Nawrocki had written saying it was wrong and so and so was a great guy and teammate. Nawrocki stuck to his guns. I think it was Geno Smith but I need to research it to be sure.

In any case, I'm intrigued with him and hope he has the head and the heart and talent to do the job. He has unique things about him.

EDIT: It was Geno Smith and Cam Newton before him...

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Tell you what uffs, read this Q&A from just before the draft, on April 19th and ask yourself if you are really being fair to the man...

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/4/19/5625936/2014-nfl-draft-adrian-hubbard-interview-alabama 

He sounds like a very focused, professional person, one who readily acknowledged the things he felt he needed to work on. Also, note his comments on Peppers, and imagine how excited he must be to be on the same team as him.

Adrian Hubbard

Here's what Hubbard had to say on your boy's comments:

Right before the NFL Combine, there was an NFL.com report by Nolan Nawrocki that took you a little bit by surprise, questioning your character. How did you respond to that?

It was really ironic because I was leaving from talking to some kids down by where I was training about finishing school and being the best person you can off the field, then I get the text from my friends saying, "Hey man, there's an article about you saying that your attitude is bad" or whatnot.

I said, "Well, the best judge of character that I know is Coach Saban." Coach Saban is one of the best judges of character I know out there, he's one of the guys who can judge you like that, and you don't play or start on this team for two years, and you don't stay at the University of Alabama if your character is bad, because he's real big on character and integrity.

"you don't stay at the University of Alabama if your character is bad, because he's real big on character and integrity." about Nick Saban.

We should ask Miami Dolphins about Saban's character.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I've heard enough about Saban myself from all the different media offerings over the years, but these are comments coming from a player who was raised in and bought into his system, one that was highly successful.

Our NFL Rookie of the Year, Eddie Lacy is from the same program. So is our #1 pick in the draft. Ha Ha.

Do you really feel it is helpful now to dissect the reasons why Saban left MIA? Could it have been that MIA was a Bullshit team? With a Bullshit owner?

Did you even read the Q&A? It was pretty damn good.

Here, I'll provide the link again:

"Just working on violent, you know, how violent I need to be,"

One of my favorite players of the last couple decades was surly, ill-tempered and at time violent on the football field. Don't know that we have had that element since Wayne Simmons.. I certainly would welcome some nasty to the defense.

Personally his game against the Niners and Brent Jones was even more nasty.. but alas no video that I can find of that.





"The oranges are dry; the apples are mealy; and the papayas... I don't know what's going on with the papayas!"

That has to be a factor in coming to Green Bay maybe?

What about teams in the NFL that you just like? Did you have a childhood favorite?

I never grew up with a team. I grew up with a player, Julius Peppers. That was about it, though.

Too good. Yeah, we do need that same kind of nasty, and I think Ted added that with both the Hubbard signing and the Bradford selection. These guys have motors. Figure, opposite Matthews and Perry in rotation, with Peppers, Daniels and Jones on the line... WOW.

We may be seeing a whole new brand of football on D in GB.

BTW, thanks for the Simmons video clip. I miss that guy. He was phenomenal.

He's gonna love this, being able to play with both of them!

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 (22h) : 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.
