He's a good lead blocker, carries out his assignments and has a repetoire with our most important player.... And we're paying him less than a million. Seems like a great signing to me.

I just want a fullback making pancake blocks. All Kuhn has ever been to me is a lunch pail mediocre player.

That's why they will get all excited about some UDFA when they see a you tube video showing him making some great plays that were cherry picked from over his entire career or at least an entire season. Pretty much every college athlete with half the talent to be in the NFL will have half a dozen of those plays and you can put together a HL reel for any of them.

That's why they get all excited when a player makes two or three great plays in the preseason and yet can't seem to find the field during the regular season. They don't see what the coaches see in practice every day which is what probably matter more than the occasional fluke big play especially when it comes against guys who will be looking for work once the season starts.

Granted not all fans feel or act this way, some can see around it but for many its the big plays that make the guy talented.

A lot of "applaud" worthy posts in this thread!
I also don't care if Kuhn knocks a guy 5 yards back on one play, then he wiffs on the next and Rodgers gets creamed.
Kuhn just blocks, and protects Aaron Rodgers and the RB. THAT is what is important.

Ted likes his "diamond in the rough" guys. If this team didn't have a significant history of finding these gems, we probably wouldn't get excited over dudes who are raw but have measurables. But they do.

Not sure how that offends you.

I never once insinuated that I was offended. But since Ted came around, can we get a count on how many of those guys turned into something?

I'm still amazed that people are stooping so low as to call Brett something other than his name, intentionally as if they are cute or clever or funny. To an outsider, we fans must look like real ungrateful idiots.


Then again ....

Aaron Kampman is the one I really don't get. There was a stretch where he was one of the best pass rushers in the league but I'm sure that had nothing to do with why fans liked him. But I guess your theory explains why everyone loved a guy like Ricky Elmore but never got excited for players like Jayrone Elliott, oh wait the exact opposite happened.

Maybe there is some element that fits into what you are talking about but I haven't seen any of it around here and I don't think it's so prevalent that it's even an actual "thing". More like you are just making shit up to have something to stir around. You want to complain about that you should go find somewhere where that actually exists and bitch to those guys about it.

Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : QB coach Sean Mannion
Zero2Cool (30-Jan) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington
dfosterf (30-Jan) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL
Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over
beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs
Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,
beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)
beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab
Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not
Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!
beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : 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
