Uffda is still pissed, because I proved him wrong with my prediction last year that Davante would have triple the stats of Janis.

He'll never get over it!

I don't claim to know what is in Devante's mind. The common idea is Oh without Rodgers he won't get the same numbers and that will lower his free agent value. I would say that if he can perform and make catches instead of missing from a backup QB who isn't a future HOF, that he would do more to increase his value than simply putting up good numbers from Rodgers. Showing that it isn't just the QB throwing that makes him.

Imagine it's you. You have a co worker who helps make you look better than you are inflating your value. He no longer is around and your review is coming up soon. You know you stand to lose money. You press. You increase pressure on yourself or you go in the tank and just realize you're screwed. You may vacillate between both extremes especially on the heels of dealing with a new situation.

So, Davante is pressing too much or mentally checked out in my opinion. Neither are good for him or this team. I can understand what it must be like for him by getting real quiet and looking at as many factors in his world that I can. It's profiling. FBI pays people a lot of money to develop them. Knowing your subject is really important. Old radio boss used to scream it at us.

So, I'm guilty of dime store psychology but I do really try to understand people and situations. I feel for 17 and the entire org. Everyone stands to lose a lot without him on the field. Fans lose that feeling we all want. I want that ultimate high of seeing another SB.

I think it was early in the game Brett threw a nice deep ball that hit Adams in the hand. Why he didn't put two hands out is just stupid in my opinion. It was a very catch-able ball. At least it looked like it on the TV live version.

Proved me wrong? That's like me saying Jordy will have triple or more catches than Trevor Davis. Anyone saying Davis was going to have more than Jordy?

I love Janis' attributes. The exact thing we need here. Speed. Stronger than any WR we have, too. Much happier we drafted his skillset over Davante's. Nerd then takes my fascination with Janis and creates some stats prediction similar to his Hundley thing.

I'm stunned a 2nd rounder out performed a 7th rounder from Saginaw Valley State. Nerd is a genius.

Janis is superior to Adams in special teams. He's a freaking monster!!!

    beast (2h) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : 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.
