In my opinion the player that has shown the most improvement in 2017 is Brett Hundley .

Who is your most improved 2017 Packer ?

Kenny Clark, but honorable mention to Aaron Jones.

Let's not forget Damarius Randall. Dude can ball!

Well, it's not Clay or Nick and those two are paid over 20 million together and we still don't have a pass rush! :)

Hundley played ONE semi good game. Hit two wide open WR's and a screen accounting for all 3 TD's. Did make big play on final drive.

Aaron Jones is the guy. Kenny Clark. Blake Martinez, although, he's more by default, as there's little at ILB.

Tough watching Pittsburgh... Ben, AB, Bell, Bryant no JuJu last night Shazier...they have some mega star players. We have one.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

We have the best quarterback ever to play...plus the Browns....our other so-called stars on offense are Cobb and Nelson together at $25mm (Cobb 15.5 of dead cap). The same folks who wanted to back up the truck for them want to pay Adams a boatload. If he gets a payday, someone has to go and since no one will take Cobb's salary, its likely Jordy. There is way too many $$ allocated to the position for average/above average talent.

Well I see the negativity boys have shown up to hi-jack and ruin another thread because it doesn't fit into their agenda.

You don't like the players on the team that's fine.

GO post in the other 1000 negative threads you either started or hi-jack

Smokey I applaud you for trying to start a thread for members to give their opinions on the young guys.

McCray stepping in wherever he is needed.
Jones and Williams, if Mays gets over his rough start and shows as much potential as the other two, The Packers are going to have a nice stable of rb's to move forward with .

Clark and Martinez definitely have made the biggest jump from last year .

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Also , Mike Daniels has been a force to the D-line credit . He will get a Probowl vote from me .

Lane Taylor should also get some love. Don’t want to hear an offensive lineman’s name mentioned much.

I got to go with Kenny Clark, he's dominated the run game as a 4-2 NT... as the Packers are 7th in defensive yards push rush at 3.8 and helped keep Martinez clean, who's also stepped up and is my honorable mention.

And Damarious Randall has to be mentioned since being sent to the locker room, he's stepped it up... getting turnovers and not hearing him complain or coaches taking off the field to talk with him no more.

Also maybe Davante Adams, while his stat average seem to be on pace to be the same as last year, this year he's been able to keep his pace up even without Rodgers throwing to him and while he's getting more attention from defenses (#1 CB following him)... and becoming Hundley's favorite target.

It's hard for me to say any rookie is the most improved, as they weren't hear last year... though Jamaal Williams has looked a lot better than earlier this year... while his average is still bad, I'd be interested in his yards after contact stat as he seems to get touched early but keeps going and picks up extra yardage.

Same with new FAs, as they weren't hear last year, but OG Jahri Evans has seemed to be a very good signing, while he's no TJ Lang, he's not that far behind and a lot cheaper.

I enjoyed reading your post beast. Positive post help to ease the discomfort of a disappointing season. Too many roll in the mud and play the blame game at their bo-ho party.

Perhaps going through this season will make for a special season next year.

Some of us would like the focus to be on getting better not avoiding the subject.

Yin and yang...should be a thread on the regressing Packers, too. Nobody should be about trying to be positive or negative. That's forced. I post about things I find interesting whether positive or negative.

We don't have any young superstars. We have some solid players. We either need a bunch more really good players or some stars. What we have isn't enough even if it is light and fluffy and more fun than the reality with this team.

You claim you would like to focus on "getting better"... but this freaking thread was about who's stepped up, who's improved and in other words, who's "getting better".... so if you were telling the truth, then this is the perfect thread for you, because you can focus whose getting better...

And let's see your response...

Originally Posted by: uffda udfa

With the exception of "Aaron Jones is the guy. Kenny Clark.",
YOU SAID NOTHING ABOUT "GETTING BETTERS"

And this was the perfect time for you to talk about players setting good examples of getting better, and instead you spend most of your time taking a verbal shit on most of the Packers players you talked about.

It was a good question, and that's why I like doing those pre-season and in-season award guesses (make up a bunch of awards like MVP, MIP (improved), etc, for offense, defense and linemen (both sides), but if I remember right, the board wasn't interested in those this preseason.

Through multiple postings, a clearer picture develops as to which players will be leading the future Packers and where attention may be needed before next season.

So far no one is praising any TE's.
