Who has played well for the Jaguars?
Jacksonville is the only NFL team that doesn't have a single player you would trade for.

TE Julius Thomas if he was healthy and cheaper.
CB/DB Aaron Colvin, I really liked how physical he was willing to be and seemed pretty versatile and reminded me of Hyde.

Of course any of them in Green Bay will quickly raise to elite level because of Rodgers.
Anything that reminds me of Hyde should stay wherever he is.

sometimes it's all about chemistry, he got his bucks and I'm sure he's not happy with his team. Case in point, James Jones

I personally am glad he is in Florida.

House was not fully 100% committed. Half of him wanted to be a Packer. Half of him wanted the bigger pay day.

Allen Hurns don't think so. Allen Robinson, I'm not sure he can be better than Montgomery so I would pass.

It is a tough question. I wish we could have kept him, but the money was beyond his value so I am glad he walked (and we will get a good comp pick). Our young DBs are playing great, but we wouldn't have needed to draft 2 of them IMO if we could have signed House to a reasonable deal and could have concentrated on another position in the draft.

Both of Jags DB coaches coached Davon House in college. So they thought they both knew House and what he was physically able to do. I remember a quote from when he was drafted, his coached said he played his final year with an injury and that's why he dropped, they were expecting him to go in the top rounds of the draft and after signing him they talked about not understanding why the Packers didn't play him more, he did so well.

House does seem to have most of the physical potential the question is can he get the rest?

packerfanoutwest (37m) : or did you resctrict access to that topic?

packerfanoutwest (40m) : why did you remove the Playoff topic?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (17h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (23h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (23h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (23h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (23h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (23h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (23h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here
