Remember we all hear different things and different hype on the same players and have different opinion on the players. So in your opinion who's the most overrated and underrated Packers?

For underrated I have to say Pickett. The man just gets so little credit yet usually does a very good job. The 3-4 all starts from the NT and he opens upthe DEs and the DL opens up the LBers. He just comes in and does his job very well day after day after day.

Overrated is harder at least for me. Sadly I think you have to put Clifton, Jennings and Kampman as runners for this at least for this year. ... I'm not sure who to pick.... and don't want to pick one so I'm gonna pass for now.....

Overrated -
Clifton (easy)
Jordy Nelson (it bothers me seeing him get more playing time than James Jones)
Al Harris (the guy just isn't the same player he used to be)

Underrated -
James Jones (needs more opportunities)
Brandon Jackson (he was great last year when he got to play, and got absolutely no credit for it. This year they haven't even given him the chance he deserves)

Overrated- Ryan Grant/Nick Barnett. Even though I like Ryan Grant. that doesn't mean i think he is as good as other people.

Underrated- Nick Collins. I know ppl know he is good. But I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Just cuz you don't hear his name alot doesnt mean he doesnt do his job!

Underrated. Cullen Jenkins. By far, imo

Overrated. I'm eliminating Cliffy, only because he is getting NO LOVE from the folks that I happen to listen to most. They are right.

Colledge.

There are not enough people on the Colledge sucks bandwagon for my personal taste. His breakdowns at some of the most inopportune times make him DANGEROUSLY overrated, because the SOB flashes enough to fool everyone into thinking that he does not suck. He sucks. Sorry.

Not nice on my part, but that is how I honestly feel.

The fact that Bush is even on this football team puts him in contention for overrated by (at least) the Green Bay Packers. They have GOT to be in the minority to an almost bizarre degree.

Under-rated: Pickett. Jenkins. Woodson (by non-Packer fans). Jones.
Over-rated: Colledge, Spitz, Jolly, Nelson. Bush (by Packer management).

I chose to only list clifton because if i went any farther than that the entire offensive line would have been on there.

Good call on the bush thing, him just being on the team proves hes overrated.

And i think cullen jenkins is underrated by the nfl, but anyone who knows the packers loves the guy.

As far as my own values...

I have over valued Crosby a bit to much.. my expectations for him from 50 yards out were higher than his current worth. Big leg.. but accuracy on long field goals and his inability to get touch backs on kickoffs.

I undervalue Barnett because he isn't my type of physical inside linebacker.. physical as in the point of attack.. like his range and flexibility, but general devalue him because he can easily get buried by a block.

Honestly I'm not sure he's trying to get touch backs... I think on kickoffs he might be trying to get hang time to give the coverage unit a chance to get down there and try to get the return stopped inside the 20...

I don't have any thing to back that theory up with and don't like the idea... but I think the ST coach might be trying it.....

( P.S. I've done it in video games if I have a strong legged kicker but think it's a bad idea in real life )

Science has proven that it is impossible for any Packer to be overrated.

Underrated. Tauscher.

Zero2Cool (23h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

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
