Clay's pretty versatile. It would be interesting to see why they think he's overpaid. Hasn't gotten the sacks arguably because he moved inside. Don't think it's the same D without him.

He hasn't wowed me for a while. But hopefully he will return to previous form.

He's starting to miss more tackles every year too. Yeah, he's definitely overpaid, and his contract should be subject to a renegotiation. He's still a very good player though, and he has the kind of nasty you want out of your defensive players.

For that kind of money I want to be him to be more of a factor in playoff games. Him on the sidelines as our team collapses against the Seahawks is a hard image for me to shake.

If they admit he had a concussion at that point they are in big trouble. I can't find the play but he collided with Luke Wilson and was grabbing his head just laying on the ground. I'm pretty sure that was the last play before the final 2 drives he missed but yeah I'm sure he was really just getting looked at for a knee or taking a breather... 😎

Mother Mary Of Jesus... Some football fans freaking amaze me.

Based on what I read on many football forums, many posters... smack their 5 year old child for spilling their milk, Scream at the wife if the eggs are not as tasty as when they were first married.

How about one fucking post here stating... Clay has been a trooper, has a great attitude. Has been unselfish, Did not go to the press about loss of personal sack stat numbers to take one for the team and move inside last year.

Clay has been a consummate teammate and team player for his teammates in the locker room, for the Packers organization, and for every single Packer season ticket holder and fan of the team.

However..... That all means shit, it means fuck all actually, for the "What have you done for me lately mind set of a true non loyal and disrespectful fan of their team."
