Vic Ketchman , the Packers media voice, many of us read his post regularly on Packers.com . He is a paid employee of the team. Many of his post are educational and teach us about the game. Some of his post are his opinions , and some are him following orders from the team. Vic is a Packer too. I'm not sure I've ever read where he criticized the team or any players . I'll read your post and then maybe post my opinion on him.


Ask Vic ? This is your chance to Tell US .:-k

I generally enjoy his QnA articles more than others that I read. I don't really get the requirement for him to criticize the team he directly works for, I think people need to let that go. I don't agree with everything he says but I'm not going to get pissed off and hate on him because of it. The guy knows a lot about football probably a lot more than most beat writers and certainly a lot more about NFL history type stuff.

I haven't read a plethora of his material. The stuff I have read, he seems to see both sides and tries to realistic between them although has a strong optimistic tone towards some of the more criticized aspects of the team. I think he's formerly a Jaguars writer?

Paid stooge who failed in making up a hip sounding name.

I follow this version though.

I think he's really good, and I read his Q&A each day. Very good historian, very knowledgeable about the game.

Like steveishere said, if you're looking to find someone who will outright rip a player/coach, look elsewhere, maybe read Bob McGinn or someone. He's even said this before, he gives you the opportunity to read between the lines. It was obvious that he was not a fan of HHCD, and instead of saying that, he discussed how his source Tony Pauline didn't see any 1st round safeties this year, praised CJ Mosely as Vic's favorite pick, or mocked the fan's obsession with safety preceding the draft.

He's clearly a Ted fan, and it's nice reading his column because he gives you the perspective that Ted doesn't in his press conferences.

Read his Q&A every day. I'm better able to enjoy wins and handle losses since I began reading them. Huge fan.

I know the fans around me at the Jets game appreciated it 🙂

Vic is not paid to say what he thinks. He is paid to say what he is told to say, the company line. As long as that is well understood, then it is easier to read his post . [grin1]

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
