And questioning is perfectly fine, I guess I just don't get why Begelton has so much hype. Yes a star in the CFL... but with all due respect, that's the CFL, yes a handful of NFL stars have come from there, it's just more the exception than the rule.

As for Sherperd,
1) He claims he's improved

2) He knows the system after being in it over a year and Rodgers probably knows him

3) Sherperd might have the lowest physical ceiling of the PS WRs but he also might have the highest floor

4) Ervin might get more WRs snaps and just had a concussion (I think that was his Injury?) and while Josh Jackson replaced him, we still could use an emergency returner if needed.

5) When the WRs get healthy, and/or ILB Martin, they might have to release someone, so they might release the guys that just got called up potential (or Burks or Summers) and therefore, and they could potentially be claimed away. So just because someone is being lifted now, doesn't nessarily they're the ones in the long term plans... Shepherd got on the 53 before Lazard too, and how is that going?

Long story short: Sherperd might be the safe choice, knows the system the best, most verstility, backing up the difference roles...

I am wondering whether the lack of a crowd will be a huge positive for Shepherd. He seems to be a pre-season and practice warrior where the crowd may have been an issue last year and made the game too big for him.

The guy made a couple of bad plays last year, but I still think the INT was a bad throw by Aaron. Hopefully if we can get his confidence back up we can get another decent slot guy, because even though he isn't the quickest guy he did manage to get open in the preseason games I saw last year and showed some pretty good hands.

As for Shepherd vs Begelton, I think this may be a trust thing for Aaron. Although I am a huge fan of Begelton as he was a CFL superstar I am not sure how much chemistry he would have built with Aaron this offseason.

It will be interesting to see who does what.
Ervin 30
Taylor 10
