Hey p2w... Read this story on Bama's QB and his draft fall and you just might start believing Hubbard has character issues:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000350354/article/bengals-aj-mccarron-says-predraft-reports-hurt

Reports surfaced Saturday that teams were left with questions about McCarron's personality during his one-on-one visits. His decision to blow off the Senior Bowl didn't sit well, and some club executives were left to ask if the Crimson Tide quarterback was liked by his teammates and would thrive under pressure at the NFL level.

---More stuff at link. AJ knows his perceived personality cost him big time. At least he didn't try blaming his fall on a medical paper. :)

Let's just let the chips fall and see what happens. I think we will be pleasantly surprised by the Adrian Hubbard signing.

Given the high bust rate of Bama players they really have no reason to be all that high on themselves. I'm actually encouraged by the fact Hubbard didn't reach his potential at Alabama. I think Peppers will be a HUGE motivating factor for that young man. If you idolized a player and you got to go learn from him, that's going to motivate you like crazy.

Somehow, it looks as though Ha Ha didn't fall into the same trap AJ and Hubbard may have, and Lacy before them.

Alright so if he's a dick we dump him. He's an UDFA. No big deal. If he's awesome, then cool beans.

Our boy Adrian is proclaiming himself ROOKIE OF THE YEAR on his twitter page. Nope, that's completely "normal"... I can't figure out why Nawrocki would say he has an overblown opinion of himself? :)

That's a hell of a lot better to hear than something like "I didn't get drafted so I probably suck and won't have much of an NFL career" A player being confident about his future seems normal enough to me anyways.

While bagging on this kid.. you do realize that he graduates this spring.. now, you have your degree... have won a national championship while at school and have an opportunity to go to the NFL.

So how is it so "turrible" that this kid left to pursue his dream? He sat down and discussed it with Saban and made a decision.

By the way.. using Nolan Nawrocki as a source thinking he has inside knowledge.. might want to read this .

Personally.. I will wait to see how he fares in TC later this summer to form a firm opinion of how he fits in.. if he fits in. Because of your passion to thump the kid into the ground.. I have read more than I typically would on an undrafted kid. Haven't read a damn thing that concerns me.. overtly confident Bama kid.. not that different from the norm.

I'm not sure that you can't conclude that NFL teams came away with the same impressions as Nawrocki on Hubbard, and they formed their own on McCarron, too. I laugh at the idea it's about a medical paper not getting to teams. Do you seriously buy that at all? That is one of things I'm having a little fun with. If you really believe that then state it. Tell me you think I'm way off and Hubbard is the one who is right, here. His reasoning for why he didn't get drafted is the correct one.

This all started by me expressing concern Hubbard might be a space cadet. I'm concerned about it, but I saw him post a pic of him studying his playbook on instagram. If the stuff was or wasn't true, it appears to have motivaed him in some form or fashion and that's a great thing. I hope he stays on track and this bravado on Twitter of making the other 31 teams pay comes true. Why would I want him or any Packer to fail? I don't.

beast (10h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (11h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (11h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (11h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (11h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (12h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (12h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (12h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (12h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (12h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (12h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (12h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (13h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (13h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (22h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (22h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
