Granted this is a Chi town rag reporting it.. but...

Source of Course...

We keep hearing that Bears fifth-round draft pick Johnny Knox, who has displayed great hands to go with his world-class speed so far this offseason, could end up making more of an immediate impact than third-round pick Juaquin Iglesias, who hasnt been too shabby himself.

Not a very pleasent thought at all. If they're even decent, it'd be a huge upgrade over their current core.

What if they'd sign a FA to go with these guys? A Plaxico or Harrison? Now that would be scary. (Asuming Plax could play)

Not the kind of news I like.

In a multiple-thread related development...

I rattled around your source (the Chitown rag) and read the article about Da Bares moving up in the Vegas odds department since the acquisition of Cutler. This type of (quiet to the mass media) development is what could propel that team to make it a reality for da Bares to contend for that Super Bowl.

Since I was curious, and further since the Bares made such a dramatic leap in Vegas odds, and since (in the other thread) Florio has us at 3rd in the division (defensive change) and since I just got compared to Forrest Gump (I brought that upon myself, admittedly) and since I don't feel like posting on all the threads, I looked at the Vegas odds for the first game, as contrasted to the Super Bowl futures bet.

We were 3 point favorites, and remain so.

Life is like a box of chocolates, and nobody knows what the future holds, and it is shit like this kid that can change outcomes. He could be the piece of chocolate that you think you know what you got, but turns into something totally different. I think getting a speedster of that caliber, WITH hands, borders on cheating, especially in the (5th?) round.

Solution?

Deck his ass the first time he comes over our middle. It has cured this type of problem in the past, lol.

Oh, and a pass rush.

Dfosterf & 93

Don't your wives ever come in, smack you in the head and say get some shit done around this place instead of talking to imaginery people on the computer?

Maybe my wife is just mean. Anyway, carry on.

Happy 4th of July my military friends.

That actually never happens to my chocolate.

Good writing, though. There ought to be some knock on this guy, or he'd be the steal of the year. A bit like Colston in the 7th for the Saints.

NFL.com scouting report.

Negatives: Thin through the hips and legs. Gets a lot of his yardage after short routes, screens and swing passes. Lacks elite speed or quickness, but had enough to be special at the FCS level. Easily tripped up in the open field. Does not switch the ball to the outside hand. Despite his strong effort, he lacks the bulk and strength to be effective against NFL defenders. Dances and runs backward too much after the catch or on returns - will not get away with that at the next level.

I must say that a lot of these are things that can be polished out. Or at least, look like they could. The speed has apparently already been proven wrong. Especially after a 4.34 40-yard dash. Although we still have to see how he plays in pads.

Personally, I don't see it.

If it's a concern, it will most likely be a concern after this year. Even physically gifted WR's need at least a year to learn and adjust. I ain't worried though, regardless. They have to show something in an NFL game before I start to worry.

I love how NFL scouting reports sound like horse trainers' descriptions of their stock.

Anyone think of this? If they find 2 wrs that can start wouldn't that mean they move Hester back to the main returner? If he concentrates on the return game that could make a huge difference.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

beast (5h) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : 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.
