Most Overrated: 32 teams, 32 players who are good -- not great

Cornerback Sam Shields: He went to the Pro Bowl last season, and he has some outstanding man-cover skills, but he gets beat too often for a player with a huge contract like Green Bay gave him last season. I think he bounces back some this season, but he was a tad off in 2014.

I think this is unfair to Sam, because he was hurt last year, yet played through it, because he knew we needed him. So to say he "got beat too often" isn't right. I also don't think he was ever "great." And I also think he will bounce back this year.

For me the most overrated player on our team is Clay Matthews. Let's see if he can prove he's still got it this year. AND let's see if he can stay healthy.

As for the article, I saw several weirdly wrongheaded names for most overrated: A.C. Green and Cordarrelle Patterson at the top of the list. Shields did backslide just slightly last season, but I sure wouldn't call him most overrated. The clear choice for that among Packers would be B.J. Raji - even with lowered expectations, he's way overrated.

beast (10h) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (10h) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (15h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (15h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (16h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (16h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (16h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (20h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (20h) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : This page was generated in 0.135 seconds.

Mucky Tundra (7-Aug) : Tbh, I can never tell the difference in speed unless it's completely shitting the bed

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
