If Jones does not re-sign, I would rather get a rookie or two and spend the money at MLB or tackle at this point

side note, draft is deep with WR talent so we might snatch another sleeper pick.

Jacob's had 1 great year, 2022, he has never averaged 5 yds a carry.
2023 missed 4 games, ran for just over 800yds, 6tds, avg yds per carry 3.5.
Does he know Lefleurs system?
Can he protect Jordan Love?

Hell if Gute wanted a rb who averaged 3.5 yds per carry, he could have resigned A.J. Dillon for a lot less.

So in 2024 If Jacob's has a repeat of 2023, who's gonna be the blame?

Probably the O-line, which is going to need a revamp now.

I would be shocked if Jones comes back. They can pick up a RB in the 4th round. (PLEASE GUTE NOT THE 3RD ROUND.)

Better to draft a backup RB than to go FA route again.

I won't be shocked if he's not a good player anymore because RBs can fall off a cliff. But I think he'll bounce back in a MLF offense with Jordan Love and two good TEs that need to be respected as receivers when they line up in heavy sets. Health is the biggest concern for me, boy would it have been nice to have two really good RBs that can't quite play 17 games a season.

I don't look at the OL situation as dire. Bahktari has barely played in 3 years, so it's not like they're losing something major there. Walker came on strong over the second half, if he can build on that they may have something there.

Sean Rhyan is probably as good as Jon Runyan. And I expect 2 or more out of their 11 draft picks to be OL. Maybe take an OT in the first couple of rounds? Just please... please, no more Royce Newman.

The part that is going to hurt us most is the leadership Jones brought to the team. We went younger with Jacobs so that means we will have him for a few more years. Jones started becoming an injury concern every game.

I like how people yell when the Packers don't go after free agents and complain when they do. I read a report that stated that the Packers didn't have to release Jones but it sounds like it was a done deal once Jacobs was signed.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

It's better to let go of someone a year early than a year late. I think most fans wanted this kind of aggressiveness to win it all. Let's see how it shakes out.

Do you want to be "the kettle" or "the pot"?

Don't tell the team we can't afford to pay a rb 12mil a year, then turn around and sign "an average" running back to a 4year, 48mil contract.

Then turn back around and release a guy who , in good faith, is trying to renegotiate his contract that you totally fucked up by adding void years and restructuring.

GUTEKUNST WAS WRONG, HE'LL NEVER SAY IT .
HE WOULD RATHER HURT THE TEAM, THAN ADMIT HE FUCKED UP!!!!

dfosterf (23h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (23h) : So eeri
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL
Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,
beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)
beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab
Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not
Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
