Over the many years on Packers Home. I read a few posters here state, or opine, a dislike for Pete Prisco. Based on some notion that he is a "Hater" of the Packers. Many of those posters may no longer contribute to this forum, but they did make it a point to call him out as a Packer Hater.

I hope they read this... As Pete only gave out ONE "A" in his grading of the Free Agent Market Results.

Just did quick search and only found Rourke to say anything remotely negative by saying he aims to be controversial. I'll look tomorrow more in depth.

I've never been much of a fan of Prisco. Pretty sure I never called him a "hater," though that's primarily I don't like the term much and unless I've have too much to drink, never use it.

But I think of him the way I think of most reporter-"experts." Mostly with disdain.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

My defensiveness of the users here being labeled set aside, the link you brought forth is fascinating.

The Packers did what they always do, try to sign their own and do little in the open market. They gave receiver Randall Cobb and tackle Bryan Bulaga big contracts to stay put. With Cobb 24 and Bulaga 25, it makes sense. Those were the must-haves for free agency, so mission accomplished. It's why general manager Ted Thompson is one of the best.

Pretty much nails it on the head here too. The Packers seem to always give one, sometimes two contracts to their rookies who've earned it. By the time the third contract comes around, they let them walk because they believe it is better to let a guy go a year or two too soon than keep a guy one year too long.

Side note, Pete is one of the few who regularly respond to my Twitter inquiries and the handle is @PackersHome.

Like I said is this team better than the team that walked off the field a few months ago? Hell no we have no secondary no ILBs and no NTs lol.

With the losses to this defense means we will have to play a vanilla defense which means teams will tear us apart. And then it will all be put on Capers. When it should fall on the almighty Ted Thompson because he didn't field players for him.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Who did the Seahawks score on in over time to win the game, Tramon Williams. He has signed elsewhere.

I think it's clear as day the Packers are not worse now than they were two months ago AND we have a draft coming up. But you will continue to drag the Packers down and tell us how this is the year of the Lions! 🤔

That is your reasoning for our team being better is we dump guys that miss one play? Who is on this team that is better than Williams at CB? I don't even put Shields above him. So you line up this team against the team from the last game and this team would beat them? Can you honestly even talk yourself into believing we are? Maybe we should cut Rodgers for his BS int in the endzone, or cut Lacy for not getting 1 yard onto the endzone. They should be gone by your thinking.

We can only draft so many players lol.

I'm ready for a long season this year and then maybe we will get rid of MM and TT.

Not to be a smartass, but I'll take a healthy Aaron Rodgers over the Aaron Rodgers that played in the NFC Championship game. That alone makes this team better than that team.

You can actually break that down into the individual players if you don't want to answer the blanket statement.

Would you rather we still had Hawk and his contract.
Would you rather we still had Jones and his contract.
Would you rather we still had Williams for the money he got paid.
Would you rather we still had House for the money he got paid.
Would you give Raji whatever he was asking?
Would you give Guion whatever he was asking?

If we had all this we would have the exact same team we had last year and everybody would be happy right. Probably not because they would be bitching that we still had Hawk and Jones. They would be complaining that we paid too much for Williams and House and they would be whining about Raji being fat and lazy and Guion going to be suspended.

You can't replace guys like Hawk and Jones if you don't let them go and you can't afford to sign everyone for the the amount of money they want.

If your frustration is that Ted hasn't signed anyone to replace these guys then fine I get that but don't complain about losing guys that most people are either happy to see gone ( Hawk and Jones) or are fine with it because they were too expensive (William and House) and don't complain about losing guys who we haven't lost yet (Raji and Guion)
