The “sky’s the limit” for rookie Dontayvion Wicks, who has outperformed most of the rookies in this draft class and has become a key part of the Packers’ offense.

“A lot,” Love said on Wednesday when asked what he likes about Wicks. “I think just his personality, how he approaches coming into work every week, finding ways to get better. He’s always asking questions, always asking if he’s in the right spot, and then I think he’s a guy who’s in his coach’s ear all the time, trying to find ways to get better."



As much buzz as Musgrave and Reed have gotten, Wicks might outshine them all when it's said and done.

Also interesting how they refer to Adam's as a HoF lock. I thought he was on the outside looking in tbh.

2) I feel like the NFL Hall of Fame has gotten weaker and easier to get into in recent decades. As they seem to be more about inviting as many into the Hall Of Fame as the rules allow, which tries to sell more tickets, which I think is their goal, especially as supposedly the Hall of Fame is struggling financially.

3) Adams is currently #45 in career receiving yardage with about (rounding) 10,600 career yardage. To get in the top 10 of all time, a receiver would need about 14,350.

So Adams just needs 3,750 more career receiving yardage to be in the top 10 of all time. He was putting up 1,300 to 1,500 per season for a while there, but with injuries and QB issues, that's gone down this year, but still looks like he'll crack 1,000.

So if he can stay healthy and playing for 3 to 5 more years, I think he has a a legitimate shot, especially considering, I don't think anyone can argue he was the best WR in the NFL at least one year (possible two).

For at least the past ten years , there has been a logjam  at the wide receiver position  when it comes to Hall of Fame inductions. Some of the most spectacular specimens of our lifetimes have waited a long time  to receive their busts. Adams has been impressive, but I don't think cracking the top 10 in career yardage will be enough to secure a berth. I think he needs more than a year or two of league dominance to receive consideration. The fact that he got to play with Aaron Rodgers will probably hurt his cause rather than help it, though the fact that he had a great season with Raiders will be a point in his favor.

Seeing Reggie White's bust was cool, and the A Game for Life holographic locker room was impressive; but overall, I found the experience underwhelming and even kind of boring. I got there pretty late in the day and was still able to work my way through before closing time. I didn't find it worth the price of admission.

I am still impressed he held onto that TD pass against the Panthers as he took a big hit and left the game afterwards. This young WR and TE group gives you so much optimism for the future. Let's get the OL upgraded and a new coordinator on Defense and I am pretty excited.
Fan Shout
beast (now) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)
Martha Careful (26m) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.
beast (33m) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs
packerfanoutwest (57m) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.
beast (11h) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
Zero2Cool (20h) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!
wpr (21h) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.
beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!
beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed
Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)
Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.
Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”
packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB
Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him
beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie
Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b
Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with
packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie
beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.
Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst
Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck
beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now
beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me
Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.
Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell
packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?
beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.
wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.
wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.
wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!
jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, I assume you were among the Packer fans that got the "Go Pack Go!" chant going in the first quarter. Very appreciated!
jdlax (16-Dec) : We are doing the thing out west my friends
beast (16-Dec) : Damn, should have picked the Buccaneers over Chargers
beast (15-Dec) : Note: DuBose was just going all out for questionable location ball, probably never saw the defender. Bad idea to throw it there.
