It's getting dusty in here. AJ Dillon's season-ending neck injury was a tough one for Packers fans to deal with. Putting aside the fact that he was in …

Look, i hope he makes a full recover and succeeds but;

"AJ Dillon's season-ending neck injury was a tough one for Packers fans to deal with"

Ahh no it wasnt. This was a blessing in disguise. AJ is no where near a starter or a back up. Hes too slow and for his size, gets taken down too easily. I wish him well but there is nothing tough about losing him to injury or even a trade.

More lazy writting by these writers.

There's a good chance this injury will lead to a settlement for Dillon. From a homer fans perspective this really stinks. Dillon falls into the category of a guy who loves playing Green Bay because of its atmosphere and low key nature, something that GB has struggled with other players over the years.

On Family Night on one of his carries, Dillon hit the line hard and totally failed to see a huge cutback lane. It was at that moment I knew he was done in GB.

*had a roommate that was a gym rat and hell bent on putting on as much muscle as possible on his five foot six frame. I thought Dillon fell into the same category.

That's called a difference of opinions, not lazy writing. And just because you have that opinion, doesn't mean others weren't shocked and disappointed losing the guy we thought was going to be the #2 RB going into the season, with the rookie draft pick being injured a lot.

hmmmm even with a groin injury, broken finger and finally the stinger that ultimately ended Dillons year, I just looked up his stats.
seems he averaged 3.5yds a carry, not 2yds, which is below his career avg., but considering he played most of the season injured, that is respectable.
I find it hard after going back and watching games like The 2nd Detroit game and The KC game, and others, where he was THE ONLY OPTION, and performed well in the running and passing game, that EVERYONE is glad to see he is not on the roster for 2024.
Of course I'm not going to speak for EVERYONE, because there are various opinions.

Funny how stats are looked at. Brandon Jacobs averaged 3.6yds per carry last year, yet he is considered a top 10 rb in the league. Top 5 by some.

I guess it's just how people want to see things.

I'll miss #28 being on the field this year, and if he did play his last down for The Packers, it will be a shame. There is more to the rb position than just carrying the ball, AJ was a COMPLETE ball player.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
