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
dfosterf (2h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (2h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (3h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (3h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (3h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (3h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (3h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (3h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (3h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (3h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (3h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (4h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (4h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (4h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (4h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (5h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (5h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (5h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (21h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
