A strong case can be made for offensive lineman Zach Tom as the Green Bay Packers’ most underappreciated player entering the 2024 season.Tom Blair of NFL.com made that argument in a post of NFC players who “just don’t get the love they deserve.”“So many young Packers stepped up in so many key …

It really depends on who the evaluator is. If it's the Packer's organization, absolutely not. They know what they have and they are thrilled.
If it's the Packer's fans, perhaps. Wanting to move him from LT into center or RG seems to appreciate his skills but remove him from where he will help the team the most and get the biggest payday.
If it's the rest of the league, probably not. Most fans would be hard pressed to name the starting OL for most teams. The talking head "experts" tend to fall asleep at night memorizing the skilled positions players.

For some reason the best pass rushers are more and more lining up against the RTs, and Zach Tom had the toughest lineup for any OT that I can remember and he held his own against almost each and everyone of them.

If Tom was at LT and facing the easier pass rusher, I think we'd be complaining that he's not getting enough pro bowl and all pro consideration.

BTW, the same might be said for our quarterback. I love that we have him, but he has been very good for only 1/2 season and threw a big pick in our playoff loss. I hope he is all-world, but let's not anoint him just yet

With all of our young players, I would hope we would be positive, objective, hopeful and less plethoric.

Go Packers!!!!

bboystyle (4h) : Robert Saleh has been added to GBs coaching staff. Now he can stick it to Rodgers when he wins an SB here!
dfosterf (6h) : Leave him alone. Stop cutting him. You have no plan.
dfosterf (6h) : Losing him could get ugly real quick. Don't need that bs right now
wpr (7h) : As bad as he can be he is better than most options and he has practiced with the kicker and holder. A street guy might get 36 hours.
wpr (7h) : You are correct Mucky. This process makes the most sense. If they mess around and PS Orzech they might lose him.
Mucky Tundra (8h) : You might have the right idea. Get Gute on the line, beast!
beast (8h) : Yeah, but we could of simply signed LS Orzech to the PS, and gotten 3 weeks of him there.
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Now you can get several game day elevations and sign him back to the active roster anytime in case of an injury
Mucky Tundra (8h) : By briefly adding him to the roster and cutting him, it gets around the season ending IR and you can stash him on the PS
Mucky Tundra (8h) : I believe either Ford needed to be added to the active roster or go on season ending IR
beast (8h) : I don't understand that dance, released Orzech to keep Ford, just so you can release Ford to re-sign Orzech
Mucky Tundra (8h) : DT Jonathon Ford released to make room for Orzech. Ford is expected to be signed to the PS
Mucky Tundra (8h) : As expected the Packers re-sign LS Matt Orzech
Zero2Cool (9h) : He spent the entire open portion of practice on the offensive side of the field.
Zero2Cool (9h) : Robert Saleh in the back watching the Packers offense at practice today.
dfosterf (13h) : I'm desperate too
dfosterf (13h) : Possibly very good for my fantasy team. ff equivalent of a street free agent. Definitly worth cutting a dst I had laying around
Zero2Cool (15h) : Chiefs are so desparate
beast (16h) : Rumor: Titans will be trading WR Hopkins to Chiefs
Mucky Tundra (23-Oct) : @fordm The 49ers’ healthiest receiver right now was shot in the chest two months ago.

wpr (22-Oct) : Isn't coffee a PES? Especially first thing in the morning.
Zero2Cool (22-Oct) : PED and PES ... guess they are different
beast (22-Oct) : I thought PED were a 4 game suspension. Also wonder if it's final or if he could still appeal it.
Zero2Cool (22-Oct) : Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is facing a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing
Mucky Tundra (22-Oct) : JK Scott with a booming 36 yard punt to give the Cards the ball at their own 27
Mucky Tundra (22-Oct) : Bucs shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers
beast (21-Oct) : I know, but I'm wondering whom is the emergency guy behind Orzech?
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : beast, look at "Kicker, we need one. Still" thread. Zero has a post there explaining it
beast (21-Oct) : I wonder whom the emergency LS is
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : nevermind about the LS, just saw Zeros post
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Got to work only to find there's no production! Woohoo!
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Woah, who's our long snapper now?
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk suffered a season-ending knee injury
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : DL Jonathan Ford off injured reserve/designated for return and released LS Matt Orzech
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : DL Ford is back, LS is cut
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : Oh, I know. I was going to include that but limited characters
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : *being
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Zero I was be facetious my man
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : Each network wants viewers. (duh right?) and NFL can't favor one over the other if money is equal. NFL also wants views too.
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : It's not so much rules, its variables.
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Well then they need to change the rules/guidelines ;) :P
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : I'm seeing lot of "smart" tweeter people being clueless
Zero2Cool (21-Oct) : Theres' lot of different rules/guidelines what not that go into it. not simple as pluck an move
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Dallas-Atlanta looks like a better flex option (no clue how many other prime time games they have)
Mucky Tundra (21-Oct) : Those both sound unappealing as a Sunday Night game tbh
