In the past 15 -20 years how many times has GB played down to the level of their competition?

A- WAAAAAAYYYYYY too many times.

Anyhow, found this bouncing around the interGoogle too

What he brings: Tipping the scales at 314 pounds and running a 5.06 40-yard dash? Yeah, that’s impressive. He put up 29 reps of 225 pounds on the bench and had a 28.5-inch vertical leap. But, it was doing field work where he really stood out. His power and quickness were highly evident at the combine. He remains in constant motion, never takes plays off and is ultra quick up the field. He plays the nose a good majority of the time but with his strength he could move out to star as a 3-4 DE 4- or 5-technique in due time.

Nope because I was not talking about Clark at that moment. You asked the question who doesn't play better against weaker competition and I answered your question. GB does. As far as what other teams do, I don't care. That comparison is like saying our team sucks but we are not as sucky as that other team to the west so it's ok if we sucks too.

Where did I say that they lost those games that they didn't play up tp their fullest abilities?

The question that was put to me was the question that I answered. Zero2Cool asked who doesn't play better against weaker competition. My answer was GB doesn't always. It doesn't mean they don't win those games.

I think what they were trying to say is that the better competition could handle him and thats more like the level he will face in the nfl.

First:

My favorite bust was Brian Brohm. God I was so wrong.

Second:

I had an account with a non-retard name before "Rajiroar", I just forgot the info. It was supposed to be temporary I swear!

Third:

Raji killed it in 2010 and 6'd the Bears for the Halas trophy in their house, he is undoubtedly one of Ted's best front 7 picks, sad as that is.



Im never gonna live that damn name down.

Well, I obviously have no clue. I had ten, count 'em, ten DL ahead of Clark still on the board.

And, yes, I would have taken the other UCLA guy before him, too. (microfracture risk and all).

But of those on the board at #27... I would have picked any of these before either UCLA guy:
Josh Billings (better now and bigger upside at the same position)
A'Shawn Robinson (ditto)
Vernon Butler DT/De
Kevin Dodd, DE
Jason Spriggs, OT
Jarran Reed, DT
Chris Jones, DT/DE
Su'a Cravens LB
Noah Spence DL
Mackensie Alexander DB
Cody Whitehair OG/RT
Hassan Ridgeway DT
Austin Johnson DT

Well, it's better than the Nick Perry pick was.

They all did. No denying these are all good players and if they get picked by the right team with a scheme that fits their style they will be fine. That doesn't mean they would have had the same success with the Packers. Obviously Clark was that guy for the Pack at 27.

Like always, time will tell, so we wait and see.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
