I agree, I don't think it will happen. The comment was more about the boys lack of depth. We should be very happy with the weapons Ted Thompson has amassed for Aaron. I'll be perfectly happy to keep JJ.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I'm not saying I don't want to keep Jones. I'm happy that he's with the team with the price we paid for him. Besides, I think he's worth more for the Pack than any other team (reason why other teams weren't willing to pay him more than what we offered him), and that is very much a positive for the Pack. He is a weapon for us and have done good for us. What I wanted to get across from my first post is that I fully expect Nelson to become more of a contributor this year than Jones. That doesn't mean I don't want Jones contributing. I"m sure all of us would be more than ecstatic to see him have a great game.

I'm just sort of looking at it from the perspective of who is still continuing to improve, after x number of years. I feel like Jones already reached max potential his 3rd (or 4th) year, while Nelson has still shown improvement from years past. And we have a couple of WRs in the practice squad that though may not have the same upside as Jones, could get more play time and produce more for the team whether it's from catching a pass or not.

As for "Packer people", I for one think it makes a difference in a team. I feel like the quiet, humble, unassuming guys who just works hard and kicks ass on Sundays has a lot to do with our SB win after all our "key" guys went down. And sorry for bringing it up, as it seems like you guys don't agree with the thought. I said it once and I'll say it again, that's just my opinion. I have my own stories to tell as to why I say this, but it's inappropriate in this thread.

This should be the end of my Jones discussion. I sincerely do hope he puts up Pro Bowl numbers for us this year. Anything to help us repeat, I'm all in. But that doesn't change my opinion on this subject.

IAs for "Packer People" I hate that shit. Jorde Nelson is a better player because he blocks his ass off, not cause he's a white man playing in a white town. James Jones looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane.

As for the obsession with people being black or white, you may want to read up on U.S. history a bit. Lots of hard feelings about that over here. I hear about similar things in many other countries. Where are you from?

There's such a thing as moving forward, especially for the a country such as America. And there are bigger problems in the world. That's why I don't get it.

I'm from the Philippines. Gotta say that my first visit to Green Bay was most uncomfortable with people looking at me different. But hey, I've been back every year and loving it.

Keep preaching, sister! You don't have to agree with everyone, but I'd rather you were up-front about what you think and decisive in expressing yourself than trying not to offend anyone. We need more strong thinkers on this board -- on both sides of issues.

dfosterf (4h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (6h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (22h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23h) : 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
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
