@Packdog posted:Nice that the whining toward Kevin King has slowed down. (Hysteria currently shifted towards Eric Bledsoe in the Bucks Forum) Point is, King has been playing really well. Gonna be difficult to keep him. Too bad as he and Jaire have become a very nice tandem.
Hoping Jerry Gray can get Savage on track. Guy looks pretty bad right now...poor angles, missed tackles, etc... Sometimes it takes a while (see Nick Collins) might be that the lack of pre-season slowed his path. C'mon Darnell !!!
I think most of the whining is because they passed up drafting a Badger (TJ Watt) who is now a two-time Pro Bowler and a borderline DPOY candidate. If Watt hadn't have been from Wisconsin it wouldn't have been as big a deal. Watt was drafted #30 in Round 1. If teams would have known he was going to be this good, he would have been a top 10 pick, so it's not like just the Packers passed him up.
King has had some problems adjusting (as most college DBs do), but I don't think people necessarily questioned whether he had NFL talent - it was availability. He was hurt for large parts of his first two years and finally played a full season last year.
He's looked good the first two weeks this year. Not Jaire Alexander-level, but if he's your #2 CB you are in good shape.
The problem is whether he will stay healthy if you sign him to a large contract extension.
