Like all to many , Offense is your one and only area of focus . Also in the spirit of the thread , you have not even graded that 1/3 rd of the total Packers team .

Getting defensive over a simple statement of fact is not necessary. Discussion is greatly appreciated , yet being rude is just not called for . If grading the Packers is not your bag , just say so. [cheers]

Averaging my grades for all 3 of the Packers team disciplines , I gave the overall grade of B- .
My evaluation takes into account injuries as well as the general fact that most teams do get better as their season moves forward .

At this time I am most concerned about the CB's on the Defense and the Right/Left Offensive Tackles . Injuries and back-ups for Starters has revealed a certain lack of depth and challenged some players to step up and earn their paychecks . In addition , the GM has been more active this season in the FA market looking for replacement players .

By mid-season I hope to be able to raise my grades upward in direct proportion to an improved Packer team . I expect to see better QB / WR timing , a better O-line with the return of all #1 O-line Starters , and I hope to see a healthy (CB) in House return to full duty as (CB) King is turning knowledgeable heads across the league . Also I hope that (RB) Aaron Jones is stepping up beyond all of our original expectations . [thumbup]

Wow Zero , I see more in your post just grades . Your dislike of FB's is as apparent as your approval of three LB's . Names with just grades and no explanations . I suppose that one could research and read all of your past post , but most will not do that . Your micro view is in stark contrast to my macro view .

If you can find the time to expand upon your evaluations , it might be easier to understand the grades you've attached to players .

Do you have an overall grade for the first quarter of the Packer's season ?

[cheers]

I gotta agree with Smokey on this one, for how banged up the Packers are they're 3-1 and look as good as anyone in the NFC. Pretty harsh grades considering.

Edit: I'd give the Offense a B- or B and the defense a B+ or A-

We can start threads, topics, what have you, but we cannot, and should not, try to narrow the evolution and morphing of said thread. That's one of the amazing things about a discussion forum. I'm also the pot calling the kettle black here and I'm fully aware of it. e.g. when I ask for game by game early predictions, I'm wanting game by game break down W/L not some pansy 11-5 post and ditch.

I looked at ProFootballFocus for my grades and raised/lowered them as I saw fit.

Speaking of evolution and morphing topics. You asked for grades, I provided player by player grades and you took my FB grade as I dislike FB's. Where did I say that? I gave a grade, thus, I dislike them? See, now we have another discussion.

You're more tight on staying inherently on to the exact topic than I am!! (btw, that's not really a good thing, lol)

As I recall from some of your past postings , you don't like Ripkowski and never liked John Kuhn either . That was one point from the past that I recall that you (Zero) have posted on . A fact , not a way for me to step up and knock that chip off of your shoulder .

I offered some support for the grades that I offered . You get defensive like someone that has lost at marriage and transferred that hurt into being over defensive when anyone challenges you to expand or support your case . Calling names like "pansy" and looking for a way to throw mud is taking the low road , rather than offering a more pleasant reply . Some , like my father , would send all in the house , off in any direction just to not be in the same room when he was angry . So if you intend to call names , and get defensive when questioned or your position is not supported , stop and consider that narrowing a morphing topic can sharpen the focus of a picture to better see the true picture .

I'd like to read why you graded as you did , but you can look for sinister ulterior motives if that is your mood .
