I think that's a TLC song.
Can only hope this is true and holds up at this point!
@GB-Brandon posted:I’m Fucken done with it!!!!! It’s just more RECKLESS BEHAVIOR by Gute. Chasing Unicorns in the draft and overvaluing the RB position as he continues to starve the receiver position out!!!
Should of figured this was the route he would go!!
Okay now I know you’re just trolling. I suspected as much with your “stabbed Rodgers in the back comment”, but this confirms it. To be fair I assume everyone new is trolling until they prove otherwise, but this hilarious melodrama is reminiscent of some other newbies of the last couple years who have curiously disappeared. You’re not causing problems, just stirring up conversation by being irrational, but let’s keep it that way.
Who was the irrationally optimistic troll that was here, Trophies? I can’t remember, they’ve come and gone it’s tough to remember.

Then you were all mean to him and he left. Nice job.

They did “Stab Rodgers In the Back” and yes there is frustration from three years of incompetence and a lack of WIllINGNESS to put necessary tools around Rodgers.
You carry on with these Absolute’s that “This and that can’t be done” when in reality it can and is being done for other QB’s around the league.
It’s same old thing with this normalcy bias and people constantly making excuses for the Packers front office.

Legend! How could I forget?
@michiganjoe posted:I think they lost the game when they couldn't even get a single first down after both of Jarie's picks in the second half. Failure to capitalize on turnovers- the same thing that doomed them in the Seattle playoff choke.
MVS fault. The rest of the offense played flawlessly 🙄

Right, but because I’m now 100% sure you’re just trolling for a reaction I’m not going to give you one. So you may want to test the waters in another thread with someone else. I recommend trolling Fedya’s Movies to TiVo thread with a controversial take about Lucille Ball, he won’t be able to resist.
Had a pretty good 2020 season. Surprised the Queens are letting him go!
Teams that have expressed some early interest in #Vikings free-agent center/guard Brett Jones include Denver, Seattle, Houston and Green Bay. It remains to be seen how much interest the Vikings might have in bringing back Jones.

Whatever man!! Do what you do!! I’m not gonna respond to an onslaught of people going way overboard on me even though I explained exactly why and gave several valid points as to why it gave cause for concern.

All that's left is the infamous "I'm leaving" post.

Wow, appears to be here and done in just over a couple of days. Shorter half-life than weapons-grade Plutonium.
Cool then GTFO. x4 not for pussies.
Stabbing in the back is the new stackkked!

Forget chasing waterfalls cue up Hello! Lionel Richie. Is it Jaymo we’re looking for!?!!
What gets me is Henry has hardly said squat to the guy....
A TE in New England: Former #Titans TE Jonnu Smith is signing with the #Patriots on a 4-year, $50m deal with over $31M fully guaranteed, per @AdamSchefter. After getting nothing out of the TE position since Gronk left, Jonnu is coming.

@Henry posted:I think that's a pretty spot on summary for me as well. Considering the type of offense they are running, signing Jones wasn't a bad move at all but I wouldn't be completely broken up if it didn't happen. The fact remains RB signings in this day and age can be real duds. If his contract is team friendly in regards to cutting bait then it's worth it. Jones does a lot more in this offense than just run the ball. He frickin' bailed out the 2019 WR position.
Either way, considering the cap and Jones deal, the draft is that much more critical. There has to be contributors this year.
As much as i like what I've seen from AJ Dillon, I'm not as convinced as some that he can just step into a starting role where the bulk of the running game falls on him. I'm still pissed off with Jones' performance in the Tampa game, but he's too dynamic to cut loose and not feel a dropoff. His presence opens things up for people in the same way that doubling Adams should in theory create opportunities in other spots. Players like that are key to allowing MLF and AR to pick their spots and exploit the defense as they choose.
The reason the offense made the jump it did from 2019 is in big part due to more guys contributing. But I agree, they need more. A guy like Allen Robinson opposite Davante could devastate defenses, but will cost too much. Samuel could be a guy who opens the offense up in a big way with his versatility. Either way, they need something to boost the wr position. Funchess may be just a guy, but his vet presence will push the #5 wr off the roster and be a slight uptick in the unit as a whole. But even that's an unknown at this point. A savvy slot guy and/or a wideout in the draft should be of some priority even if it's in the middle rounds. Buffalo's offense made a huge jump this year, most would say by adding Diggs, but I'd argue Beasley was the real get to give Allen solid veteran reliability.
Tonyan making a splash was big last year, and we can hope they know what they have in DeGuara in the same manner, but he lost a whole season of reps, so he's a question mark. With Jones back, I think they need to add 2 new contributors, whether it be a rb, wr or te. No major overhaul is necessary, but I gotta hope that it's in their scope to go from a great offense to an elite one. It's there for the taking if they have a plan.
SOURCE: The #Packers are in negotiations with multiple FA WRs. Right now it is a waiting game, with multiple agents waiting for the other to set the market. Fuller, Golladay, Samuel, etc all expecting huge deals in the coming hours/days. Packers will be touching base everywhere.

My Intel says he is still “Grasping The Playbook”
It’s gonna be an EPIC DISASTER if Gute doesn’t lower is Ego about 10 notches and get this extension done!
And people wonder why the Germans Lost the War!!!
If the above is true, I'd imagine Fuller would be among the top of the list. They wanted him last season, then the trade falls through, then he gets suspended.
Obviously, they gotta be sure whatever the drug test issue is gets resolved. And to make sure it won't happen again.
But this offense would be flat out terrifying with a legit #2 WR along with MVS as your 3rd. Christ, they may put up close to 40 points per game. Who needs defense...
I'd have a hard time giving a likely sizable contract to a guy who was busted for PEDs.
No on Fuller. Get MVS in front of a juggs machine all off-season and keep developing him. No reason to over-pay there.
I would hope any sizable free-agent investment would be on the defensive side of the ball. If they do invest in a WR, it should be more for a guy to upgrade from Tyler Ervin/Austin, not a big money diva-type. Adams, Lazard, MVS, and Funchess are a solid group and if you add a guy in the first 3-4 rounds of the draft that's probably good enough to win with.

If Gute/Ball can land A Jones AND Galladay then it won't matter if we even have a defense, that's a 50 points per game offense!
I was on record saying they should have dealt for Fuller before the deadline, but that’s why I’m not a GM. It would have been a disaster given PEDs and suspension. So I’ll pass on him.
Golladay is going to get huge money. Godwin and Robinson have already been tagged. Samuel should get a big payday because he’s only 24. Corey Davis is interesting. Marvin Jones and TJ Hilton would seem more in line with what the Packers would be willing to pay.
Hey GB-Brandon
You're cute and all, but please, just go away.
(Worth a shot)
You are far too polite
I said GTFO. No dice.
Might be time for a Hank meltdown
I’d be ok with Davis. You can’t pay him huge $$$ though- he’s not that kind of player. But I’m always happy to see a hometown kid in Packer colors...

You mean the German's had salary cap issues? Hitler tried to extend Goering and Rommel many times, but they were uncooperative. Ended up paying too much for Tiger tank divisions, which everyone knew did not have a long shelf life. Really needed a second division of capable Luftwaffe.
Just messing with you, Brandon. I am bored with job-hunting today and needed some diversion. To your point, there are many examples of highly paid RB's who did not pan out for long. Jones has been used carefully, however, and he means as much to this offense as Kamara does to NO's. I don't think Elliott or Cook are as multi-dimensional as Jones and Kamara.
Class act.

With the players they are bringing back off of Covid opt out, they will better. But this spending spree doesn't change the fact they don't have a franchise QB.
The Patriots’ spending spree so far:
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 15, 2021
TE Jonnu Smith: 4-years, $50M
DT Davon Godchaux: 2-years, $16M
OLB Matt Judon: 4-years, $56M
And they’re not done yet...
Thrilled to have AJ back to hit more home runs from 30+ yards out.
