He can pass pro adequately, knows the offense. I'll give him that.

My biggest question is: What will the fans yell out every time he gets the ball? "Skiiiiiiiii"?

If we keep playing Kuhn, we just stall the development of Ripkowski. From what I've seen from him on special teams, the kid belongs on the football field.

Kuhn is a solid NFL football player in the twilight of his career. So I guess the ultimate question remains: is there room on the roster for two fullbacks? If so, there's no harm resigning Kuhn.

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.
