The article title is correct. Gilbert is in fact "real" (as "real" as any of us are, which is highly debatable, but that's a story for another thread). He's just not "real good." Hopefully he will prove to at least be serviceable depth though, which is something the Packers have lacked for years. I'm still a little skeptical that Gilbert will make any impact, but we'll see.

I still predict Biegel will be better than Gilbert.

As for Fackrell, dude is the AJ Hawk of OLBs. He doesn't suck, he's just not that good. Needs to get mean.

Wrong. He sucks. Maybe he could make a decent ILB, but he SUCKS at OLB.

Datone was another converted lineman. Run stuffer, like Perry.

Clay could not cover. Cannot cover. That's why he isn't good at inside linebacker. Few people keep saying the opposite just to have a different use for him. He can't cut it inside.

Gilbert has kept looking good. Hopefully he will do that in the regular season.
Biegel.....I expected more from him. He just hasn’t lived up to what I thought he would be.
He needs to step it up or he will be another Wisconsin player to under achieve on the Packers.
