Final Cuts to Haunt Packers?· Page 2

I for one, was hoping we would keep Hill. At least he showed he wanted to play, and probably would do as good or even better then Hundley.
Another bone headed move by "Ted".
Seems they think a backup QB just needs to be able to fit into a uniform, not actually be able to produce on the field.
Let's face it.....this season is over for us. We MIGHT beat the Cleveland Browns.......that's MIGHT.
I will still be a Packers fan, no matter how much they suck. I stayed from the "Glory years" through the "Sucky years", and as long as I'm alive will cheer for my guys.

If your options are to have a really bad season (Maybe 6-10, remember Aaron had one of those) or a pretty bad season (maybe 7-9) and miss the playoffs... What's the difference? Tayson Hill, if he IS better than Hundley (which I am not sold on, and I am NOT a Hundley fan), does not do enough to make a big difference for this team. I don't see how it was a boneheaded move by Ted to let him go without a big heaping side of hindsight. Seriously, did YOU think Rodgers was going to miss half the season or more this year? W

How does everyone like it so far?

Why is it final cuts, when only talking about a single cut?

And I would even disagree with that single cut... as if you're going back to redo history, go back to the draft when they could of traded Hundley as they (reportedly) were offered a draft pick, and then that why you could of kept RB Hill instead of a second QB.

But I still think the offense could potential improve. Hundley wasn't comfortable, I think that was partly a mental thing for him getting his first shot... but at the same time, when they started crowding/blitzing/over loading the line, Hundley nor the Packers seemed to have no answers. Some slants or something to the outside to get them going... in which Hundley and the Packers struggled getting anything to the outside WRs going.

You know now, they're going to either blitz the heck out of you, to get the QB to get the ball out quick (like they do with most back-up QBs), and/or they're going to sit back and play cover 2, focusing on all the short stuff (like they did two years ago with Rodgers, with Nelson out).

I never said Hundley didn't WANT to play. I just haven't seen anything to think he would be any good. He's been studying for 3 seasons, and should be able to hit an open receiver. If he can't, he shouldn't be the #1 backup.
Hill was exciting in the preseason, while Hundley was not.
Wouldn't you agree?
Just because you put time into a player should not be the reason to keep him.

But Hundley didn't do anything against the car salesmen, did he? He should have lit them up.

Anyone who thinks this was ALL IN knows nothing about the NFL. It may appear as all in out of context but it's not remotely all in within context.

The team let 7 players walk who needed to be replaced. They paid less for the replacement guys as opposed to paying their own. That's not all in. It's using FA to replace players you couldn't or didn't want to sign. All in? Lol. My goodness being a fan of this team has caused mass brainwashing.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

dfosterf (1h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (1h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (2h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (2h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (2h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (2h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (2h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (2h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (2h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (2h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (3h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (3h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (5h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (5h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (5h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (21h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
