Vernon Davis is on the wrong side of 30 (31) and could still have some speed and is in the final year of his contract. Although, he hasn't caught a TD since Week 1 of the 2014 season I believe. Even that being said, I wouldn't mind shoving off a late round pick for him because let's face it, Richard Rodgers may have already hit his ceiling. I know, I know, it's way too soon to say that on a player who's only played about 20 games, but I just don't see any week to week improvements with him.

Rodgers play has also made us miss Andrew Quarless. Quarless was able to stretch the middle a little bit at least.

What price do you feel is FAIR for both squads to do a trade to send Davis to the Packers? Yes, unlikely, I know, you know, so lets avoid that and play fantasyland! 😃

Yes. Quarless sucks, and while Rodgers is developing, he's nowhere near as fast and can't stretch the field. Vernon is also a better blocker.

I'd prefer to give up a 4th, but since we'll probably pick 30th, I wouldn't mind giving up a 3rd. That's what we got Finley with anyway.

I would pass on Davis in preference of Boldin.

We don't need another WR. We drafted like 4 in the last two years and are already paying two a boatload of money.

If the Packers are to trade for a WR, I really believe it needs to be a guy who has some wheels to put some fear into defenses. This is why in my other thread I said they need to get Jeff Janis on the field and use his one trick pony ass. I think Janis running deep is going to pull some defenders back a little freeing up some drag routes or crossing routes.

I don't think the offense this year is setup to take advantage of having a dynamic TE. Bringing in Boldin would improve the top of the Depth. I agree on sending Janis deep but I would like to see it done with Jones and Boldin on opposite sides, with Janis running deep and Cobb in one of the slots.

boldin would be cheap also.

I like Vernon Davis (assuming he is healthy) in the sense that he can throw a chip block AND still has the speed to get down field. The current TE's don't have that combination therefore don't have the defenses respect.

I like Vernon, but I'd rather see Mike hire a shrink.

    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
