We could have and should have kept 6 WRs - 7 was not even out of the question. I did a couple versions of a 53 man roster that way.

I hope you're right that Jones is of good enough character to help along the young guys - I obviously can't say one way or the other about that. Playing is the main thing that brings them along, though, and if damn Jones is active, they will be doing a lot less of that. As I said, Jones SHOULD be a distant 5th. Now, with the stupid seniority system, I assume that will be Janis - who I would MUCH rather see catching the ball than an overripe lemon like Jones.

We still should win; We should go all the way to and win the Super Bowl; But we would have been better off WITHOUT James Jones than with him.

He has been listed behind Devante on the depth chart. We need to make up for 1400 yards lost with Jordy, Jones can account for 700 of that. He will also be the best blocker in the WR group which is needed with the bubble screens and help for lacy. He was almost able to get 700 yards with a rookie QB on a bad team with Rodgers the only way he doesn't exceed that is if the young guys exceed expectations.

Exactly. Jones is taking Nelson's roster spot, not White's.

If Jones taking a few snaps away from Janis and Montgomery means we have a guy on the field that knows the plays and where to line up and has proven he can get the ball then I'm all for a small setback in development for the younger guys. I'll sacrifice a little playing time for the young guys for a few extra first downs, TD's and wins any day. If the young guys are worthy they will earn playing time and if they are capable they will develop.

If Nelson hadn't gotten hurt Montgomery and Janis, and all the other wide receivers that were on the team during the pre season would be in the exact same position they are now and getting the exact same amount of development and you would all be happy about it. They will probably all be getting more chances to develop now as the ball will probably be spread around a bit more. The way I see it the only way you could be unhappy with Jones taking away from the young players development is if you were happy that Nelson got hurt because the young players would have a better opportunity to develop.

By this time next season Janis and Montgomery will most likely be at about the same point in their development as they would be had Jones not been brought in and maybe even farther along than they would have been had Nelson not gotten hurt. They may be farther along next year if Nelson got hurt and they didn't bring in Jones but like I said Ill sacrifice a little development time to have a better, more reliable player on the team.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (3h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (5h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (6h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (6h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (7h) : Thank you

wpr (7h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (7h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (7h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (7h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (8h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (8h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (8h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (8h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (8h) : 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) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

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?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

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!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
