Not so sure that's a good thang.  That fkin score box with the advertisement side panel was just fkin annoying.  Why did they not just locate the damn thing in the middle of the screen?  Fk NFL network.  I hate them!

I'm nearly certain they're just rebroadcasting local feeds.  They don't have anything to do with it, but I agree it's annoying as all get out.  The eagles game today had a big box with #flyeaglesfly.  Yech!

Ummmm, appears to be a simple change in starting time to me.

Perhaps. We will see what he does in the league next year, either here or elsewhere. Remember, the Vikings #1 WR was a TT "mistake". He was beaten out by good players. That's a good thing. That didn't make him a bad pick. Competition is good.

This the game with players where you have to gamble. Thornton was thought to be a mid-round pick when he was drafted, so someone is probably going to take a hard look at him if he slides to the PS. Even though GB hasn't gotten much, someone else will look at him and be convinced they can be the one to turn him in to a stud. Really Thornton sliding the PS is unrealistic because I don't think he would make it through waivers if he's healthy.

On the flip side, a guy like Bruce Gaston was a UDFA for a reason. Some teams may have really wanted him, but he was probably one of many UDFA/developmental players they were interested in, someone of which they probably got instead. Unless a guy like Gaston tears it up in the preseason, he's probably not at risk for getting plucked off the PS. So when it comes down to the 6th or 7th DL and its Gaston vs Thornton, if you think there is ANY chance Thornton can develop then you keep him over Gaston.

Jarious Wynn from the Bills just suffered a season ending injury in a torn ACL. The former Packer was considered a "key starting DL" and a "devastating loss" for a good Bills D.

 

Think about that. He was average at best in GB but he's another in a long line of examples of DL that are too far and too few in between that even ho-hum players like him were finding starting jobs and considered key in that D.

 

Thorton has basically sucked since getting here but would it surprise me if he got multiple looks from other teams if cut? Nope.

Sorry if this was posted a few days ago

 

Maybe I missed it, but he's been average to below average from what I've seen

Yeah, in the offseason, you might say he attended Justin TYRELL Harrel's NFL camp. 

 

Justin taught him how to have the kind of "explosion" that only shows up in Wausau Herald articles. 

 

In other words, it's there if you want to look for it. But it's only found in Wausau.
