I've been trying to tell you people and some of you stubbornly refuse to accept it. Maybe reading it from the coaches mouth will sway you to the RB side! Bahahah

He's pretty darn good at it, too!
A couple of times yesterday I thought he would be dropped, and he just ground for extra yards.
And the guy LOVES being a RB! That's just an extra reason to keep him there. Plus we KNOW he has good hands and can catch the ball out of the backfield.
Let's face it, Starks is a non-factor now. He can't muscle any extra yards anymore.

If Michael ends up being a stud I might go back into that camp but ultimately at this point he's better off in the backfield. I do hope they continue to move him around to mess with the defense though, I think it plays into his success.

Of course he attends the RB meetings. He is a WR who lines up in the backfield. He has to attend their meetings. 😝
Porforis pick a spot and make a stand. 🤣

He runs like a RB too. The only thing "not RB" about him is his jersey #

All joking aside - glad he came back from his injury last year. While I hadn't thought of him as a RB until lately, he does have a good handle on the position and seems to get those tough yards. It also works to our advantage as a "pass first" team that he has good hands - especially if you have seen the damage a RB can inflict when they have catching abilities.

On a side note - did aliens abduct and experiment on our coaching staff? The team has been showing up and doing anything but boring/predictable.

So let's step aside from Ty 2016 for a moment. Lacy may or may not come back next year. If he does it will be because he can't get top dollar because of injury and lack of production the past 2 years.

If Lacy does not return-

1 would you be comfortable seeing Monty get the Lacy-like 250-280 carries a season Eddie racked up in his first two years?

2. Would you want Ted to use a high draft pick (Round 2 or 3) on another RB? Walter football have more than 10 prospects that are good enough to be taken in the first 3 rounds. I would be surprised if that many are taken that high.

If eddie gets a payday from another team, Ted wont keep him. However, Ted is always for a "fair deal." Ty is still a good WR as well as rb.

That a combo a ninja would be proud of. Sometimes RB, sometimes WR. All good and deadly. Call him The Green Ninja, if you will 😁

2. If someone that's first-round quality drops to the second or third with no players available in areas of greater need, sure.

Honestly, I want to see more out of Michael. If he looks like a top-15 back then we don't really have a problem without Lacy.
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (42m) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (4h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (4h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (5h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (5h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (5h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (5h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (5h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (5h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (5h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (5h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (5h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (6h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (6h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (6h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (6h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (8h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (8h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (8h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (23h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
