Also, I'm a little disappointed in James Jones comments. Seems like a bit of a quitter to me.

yeah his comments did come off kind of lame... but. I mean you gotta admit he's right. If he is out there worrying about his knee, how much can he really help us. We have 5 good WR's on this team and its week 4.

I'd much rather test Jordy and Ruvell and let James get healthy for the second half of the year.

If Jordy becomes the threat and playmaker he was at Kansas State...then we have one hell of a WR core for years to come.

James, get ya shit together.

what??? are you kidding me? he's being SMART, nothing more. nothing less. he's absolutely right that if he cannot concentrate and help the team win, he shouldn't be in there until he's healthy enough to have that momentum back.

as for Jordy? i think he's got HUGE potential. whether or not he can nuture that talent and produce plays remains to be seen.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

It's hard to hear what Jones said.......because we see guys play through pain. But if he's NOT going to give 100% out there, i'd rather have him sit.

He didn't say he wasn't going to GIVE 100%, he said that he might not BE 100%. Big difference. Players don't usually talk about injuries in such a straightforward way, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one because he's been a high-effort guy ever since he's been drafted. I thought he was headed for a breakout season before the injury, and if he gets healthy soon, he could still put up some big numbers.

I like Jordy too, but he's a work in progress. I think he will go back to the #5 spot when James Jones and Ruvell Martin get healthy, but he's the kind of player who could make a big leap next year.

i'd rather see Jones act smart about it and say "if it's not ready, it's not ready" instead of playing with an injury, making it worse, and keeping him from performing well for the entire season.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I'm very proud for Jordy. Hopefully he can make some plays for us in the coming weeks. I'm a big fan of Jones, I'm hoping he gets healthy to. His comments dont seem bad to me, he's lookin out for himself and the team. Nobody wants another Terrence Murphy situation. If Jones isnt 100 healthy and he gets hit hard, im sure he'll be done for wekes, if not the season. Not sayin James isnt tough but if his knee is hurtin him that bad, since the Denver game. He shouldnt play until he's 100 percent healthy.

wpr (2h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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.

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.
