What do you think about what Davante says here?

And to make sure we all understand he wasn't trying to throw a dig at McCarthy.

What do I think about what he said

I think he met LaFleur a few days back
I think he thinks LaFleur is a great guy
I think he likes what LaFleur is trying to do with the offense
I think he thinks LaFleur is innovative and it will be a good way to mix up the offense.
I think a buddy told him about the hire
I think he did a bit of his own research on LaFleur.
I think he thinks it was a great first impression
I think he thinks Lafleur is younger than McCarthy
I think he thinks LaFleur is relateable
I think he is glad Getsy is back.

Those are just a few of the things I got from the brief interview. Now I can't wait to sit back and have everybody tell me what I really should have gotten from the brief interview.

Sounds to me like Matt was hand picked by Davante!!!

I was thinking more along the lines of using it a proof of anything against McCarthy somehow but there is the too young thing as well.

Can’t help but wonder if some of the guys might not want to listen to a head coach that young. You know, kind of like looking at your older brother and saying “I don’t have to listen you you! Your not my father!”

Sometimes it's easy to judge people before we actually get to really know them. Like judging a book by it's cover, some pronounce their thoughts without knowing all the facts. Like believing that a resume' reveals all about a person. It does not reveal how quick one thinks on their feet, or if they are a braggart or to quiet of a type person to handle a position. Face to face meetings can tell a great deal about a person almost immediately. On the other hand one can know another for years and not know them at all. There are no simple answers that supply conclusive evidence that this or that person is right for a job, Sometimes it is as simple as getting a good feeling about a person.

From what I'm seeing, Coach LaFleur is assembling a quality staff that will for the most part already be familiar with the new offensive. Even from my vantage point the team chemistry being built is going to be great.

I think it all depends on how you come at the guys... the older coach might get away more with being a grumpy hard ass that a young coach couldn't, but the younger coach might get away more with trying to be relatable in connection in the same spot of life than the old coach... there is advantages and disadvantages to both.

wpr (12h) : 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.

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.
