Lane Taylor should also get some love. Don’t want to hear an offensive lineman’s name mentioned much.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Thank you , the negative cry baby's get on my last nerve by rolling around in the mud as they celebrate their pity party . I may not always succeed , but I try to create positive ( not negative ) threads .

Also , Mike Daniels has been a force to the D-line credit . He will get a Probowl vote from me .

Uh-oh, now I just went and gave you ideas . . .

I got to go with Kenny Clark, he's dominated the run game as a 4-2 NT... as the Packers are 7th in defensive yards push rush at 3.8 and helped keep Martinez clean, who's also stepped up and is my honorable mention.

And Damarious Randall has to be mentioned since being sent to the locker room, he's stepped it up... getting turnovers and not hearing him complain or coaches taking off the field to talk with him no more.

Also maybe Davante Adams, while his stat average seem to be on pace to be the same as last year, this year he's been able to keep his pace up even without Rodgers throwing to him and while he's getting more attention from defenses (#1 CB following him)... and becoming Hundley's favorite target.

It's hard for me to say any rookie is the most improved, as they weren't hear last year... though Jamaal Williams has looked a lot better than earlier this year... while his average is still bad, I'd be interested in his yards after contact stat as he seems to get touched early but keeps going and picks up extra yardage.

Same with new FAs, as they weren't hear last year, but OG Jahri Evans has seemed to be a very good signing, while he's no TJ Lang, he's not that far behind and a lot cheaper.

I enjoyed reading your post beast. Positive post help to ease the discomfort of a disappointing season. Too many roll in the mud and play the blame game at their bo-ho party.

Perhaps going through this season will make for a special season next year.

Some of us would like the focus to be on getting better not avoiding the subject.

Yin and yang...should be a thread on the regressing Packers, too. Nobody should be about trying to be positive or negative. That's forced. I post about things I find interesting whether positive or negative.

We don't have any young superstars. We have some solid players. We either need a bunch more really good players or some stars. What we have isn't enough even if it is light and fluffy and more fun than the reality with this team.

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."

You claim you would like to focus on "getting better"... but this freaking thread was about who's stepped up, who's improved and in other words, who's "getting better".... so if you were telling the truth, then this is the perfect thread for you, because you can focus whose getting better...

And let's see your response...

Well, it's not Clay or Nick and those two are paid over 20 million together and we still don't have a pass rush! :)

Hundley played ONE semi good game. Hit two wide open WR's and a screen accounting for all 3 TD's. Did make big play on final drive.

Aaron Jones is the guy. Kenny Clark. Blake Martinez, although, he's more by default, as there's little at ILB.

Tough watching Pittsburgh... Ben, AB, Bell, Bryant no JuJu last night Shazier...they have some mega star players. We have one.

With the exception of "Aaron Jones is the guy. Kenny Clark.",
YOU SAID NOTHING ABOUT "GETTING BETTERS"

And this was the perfect time for you to talk about players setting good examples of getting better, and instead you spend most of your time taking a verbal shit on most of the Packers players you talked about.

It was a good question, and that's why I like doing those pre-season and in-season award guesses (make up a bunch of awards like MVP, MIP (improved), etc, for offense, defense and linemen (both sides), but if I remember right, the board wasn't interested in those this preseason.

Through multiple postings, a clearer picture develops as to which players will be leading the future Packers and where attention may be needed before next season.

So far no one is praising any TE's.

beast (4h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (9h) : meh

Zero2Cool (13h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (13h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (13h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (16h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (16h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (19h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (19h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

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.
