The guy in front of Lynch now is averaging 4.4 and he is averaging 3.1 ypc. That tells me he is the problem. Overall may be lower because he shares carries, but the per carry average shouldn't be effected.

Last year in Buffalo, the guy in front of and the guy behind Lynch both averaged 4.5 while he averaged 3.8 ypc.

There is no other conclusion, he sucks.

And here lies some of the issues with stats themselves.. we have no idea what situations both run in.. I am not making an argument in support of Lynch, because honestly I don't know for myself because I don't watch the SeaChickens.

But if Lynch is being used in short yardage and goal line situations more heavily than others.. his YPC will be effected.

This is why stats alone drive me crazy.. they reflect little in terms of the game situations players are put in.

Lynch very well may be unmotivated or an ill fit into the offense or simply over-rated... but using a single stat line to justify just doesn't seem to fit. IMO.

See this is where stats don't prove a point, all 3 of those backs share the backfield. So of course their stats will be lower

You raise a good point. I haven't looked this up but off vague recollections, Big Ben doesn't post particularly impressive passing stats yet is obviously a winner, and you see other qbs who post big #s due to garbage time (Arod in 2008 was criticized for this).

At the same time, it's difficult to objectively critique differences amongst players w/o using stats to some extent. I acknowledge flaws with this 'analysis' and I'm also not saying Bjack is the long-term solution. To be honest, I've been underwhelmed by him. The point I was trying to make with this thread is that the other big names that were rumored to be on the Packer radar this year haven't appeared to do anything extraordinary, or at least not enough to justify 3rd round + picks/James Jones, etc.

dfosterf (3h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (11h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (12h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (13h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (13h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (13h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (15h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

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
