I think you make a great point, but I'm still confused as to what counts as a drop and what doesn't... as my personal counting always seems to be higher than the "official" version... and I've seen where balls have bounced off WRs hands and some how not seem to have counted as a drop.

Also the Seahawks had one of the worst OLs, I wonder if that might of caused some more quick throwing and quick dropped passes... plus I remember a video clip (either ESPN or NFL Network) suggesting that Seahawks had been forcing Graham to try back corner passes for TDs and he was struggling with those and got some drops, and finally talked the Seahawks into simply letting him go into the endzone and post the defender up and box him out (like a basketball player, which Graham used to be) and that's what lead to more TDs. But, I think, Graham had a couple of drops in the redzone, only to catch a touchdown on the very next play.

Do you actually believe a player can be graded based on 10 [good] plays? Let’s try to evaluate Graham with a little more depth of thought and football acumen:

Hey cmon now he filled a need position, but made more of a weak position already. So now we line cobb and Adams up outside and graham in the slot. And Rodgers has 2 sends to pass the ball because the line can't block lol.I would have loved to see us sign Barton from Philly over Graham anyday. But we have the God at qb that just so happens to be hurt in some way every year now and demands he has a say in every decision. I remember an old QB that tried doing that and everyone hated him for it and said it wasn't right. But its different with Rodgers because he won a Super Bowl.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Yes "POINTS" matter; what your missing is that Graham's presence on the field will NOT yield more points for GB's offense. He didn't help NO score more points; he didn't help Seattle score more points. It is because he does so much wrong on so many plays. I also I think he's too stupid to learn the complex offensive adjustments.

The facts show Rich Rodgers, over the last 3 years, is 20% better at scoring than Graham. His own mate is as good or better as well.

You have to think in terms of WAR [Wins above replacement]; that is what does a player ADD to a team when he's on the field instead of an average player.

I see that he didnt score any with the gum chewing qb playing he favored adams as his go to man. But we all know that hundley will probably be out (at least we hope that he doesnt continue to be our starter ...) - and rodgers back in with kizer as our new backup.

I realize nelson is getting older but with those stats as mentioned above - I dont see how you cannot keep him. How a guy runs vs another doesnt show when it comes to the chemistry he and rodgers had. But the numbers do. And the numbers say - thats going to be hard to replace.

if we look at the stats vs nelson and JG - both players numbers declined last year compared to the previous. Although JG had more TDs but then again thats the way he is used - he doesnt have to go get yardage as much. And we already know we arnt looking at hundleys stats for what we have in a QB ... (least I hope not).

hard to judge but nelson was one of the best pass blocking WR out there; let alone he knew what rodgers was going to do before rodgers was going to do it ... false start, blitz etc ...

I dont care how much they are paying JG - I dont see how he is going to replace JN

Offense isn't something I worry too much about. I don't like losing Jordy Nelson, but he's not getting yards after the catch, he's not the same player. I do think he'll light it up this season based on motivation, but fall off huge the following season. He didn't have that motivation to prove Packers wrong for cutting him if the Packers didn't cut him.

Having a TE that can both pass catch and block, makes play action or the threat of the more run viable. This causes LBers and safeties to pause a split-second before responding to their coverage responsibility, which helps receivers gain separation.

With Graham on the field, our run game will be less viable, which will hurt the passing game. If you try to only use Graham on passing plays, the D will pick-up that tendency and the TE substitutions will mitigate one of Rodgers' greatest strengths.

You watch highlights of Graham doing these amazing things and think, "wow I want that guy"...I get it. Or you see a stat, 10 TDs last year. But, what you dont see on the highlights and TD stats is how his other weaknesses consistently sabotage the offense and cause punts.

Whatever his pluses give you; they are mitigated by his minuses. At the end of the day, he doesn't add anything an average TE cant give you.

Are new GM is a moron!

Also, keep in mind once Rodgers went down, Nelson DISAPPEARED! Davante Adams still lit it up, Randall Cobb even had a few good games. Nelson just completely fell off the chart.

As for TE Jimmy Graham, he is a receiving tight end, period.

Nelson completely fell off the chart because the new QB couldn't or wouldn't throw the ball more than 5 yards down the field and with Cobb and Adams being assigned most of the short routes (because they're quicker than Nelson) the new QB wouldn't throw it Nelson way even when he got open.

Also I fixed your statement about Graham... I don't think it's correct to simply call him a tightend period because that's how the Seahawks used him and asked him to block a lot at times and clearly that didn't work so well.

beast (27-Dec) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (27-Dec) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (27-Dec) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
