No I really don't know that there, Hangst.
Next to draft day, cut down day is the most interesting and fun pre-season thing there is to talk about. Until the All-Wisdom crowd comes along and decides the topic isn't worthy, that is.
Ya hey, It's all Todd Gurley and Mr. August. The end.
Todd Gurley was cut by the Packers?
OK, *now* I'm angsty

All I can say is that he looked good against the same caliber of DB's that Janis and other marginal WRs torch every preseason. Did McCaffrey ever run against legit 1-4 CBs this past preseason? There are always a lot of Mr. August's.
One of the Milwaukee reporters (cant recall who as I was driving and flipping channels) was saying he thinks the Packers coaches saw MCCaffery as very polished and reliable but was'nt going to get much better.
As far as the angst guys like Henry showed about the bottom of the roster, it just goes to show how complete this roster is when we are debating the #3 QB, #10 OL, #4RB, #6/7 WR, etc,,, although, still sad about losing Price(sniff).

Should have drafted TJ Watt.
How about now?
I'm probably the least angsty person you have ever met.
I don't even see angst. Totally angstblind.

Think that's probably the league consensus.
Surprise, surprise. Monty Adams in pads and practicing today. Limited action but doesn't look like someone headed to IR.
Probably just need film of him going down in practice to avoid legal entanglements.

Actually, Ted has signed 6 veteran free agents so far this year not 5 in Brooks, Francois, House, Evans, Kendricks, and Bennett.
Now word on the street is that former 49er Quinton Dial is coming in for a visit tomorrow. Should he sign, that would make 7.
Love it, bravo Ted.
Remember when we used to hear that Ted was the best because he rarely, rarely signed free agents?
My how the worm has turned.
Here's the thing though...all of those you mentioned but Bennett, were technically street FA's. Ted signs those guys fairly regularly. It's the unrestricted FA's he won't typically touch, all because he doesn't want to mess with his precious(to him)compensatory draft picks. I'd be willing to bet anything if Elliott is his successor, the philosophy regarding FA's and trades(including draft picks) will change substantially, and that will be an incredibly refreshing change.
Elliott's dad knew when to make splash FA signings, and was never afraid to do so, and it won the Packers a Super Bowl. Imagine that.
And Elliot's dad won how many more super bowls than TT?
Methinks Ron Wolf took over a different situation than TT did...
Not sure about that. While I liked Mike Sherman the coach, Sherman the GM was taking the Packers in a similar direction as the late 80's early 90's Packer were. TT turned that around.

Until it's not so complete anymore.
Until it's the end of the season, all the starters are down and we trot out 2 projects at WR. Like would never happen.
CORRECTION: Like just happened 2 seasons ago.
I think it comes down to a question of what you want as backups: actual backups, or projects with the proverbial "potential" to be "stars." TT and MM have repeatedly made their preference clear.
I get it, it's just, the risk is, the potential doesn't get realized and your Hall of Fame QB ends up out there pointing where to line up and shaking his head in disgust. Like would never happen.
CORRECTION: Ah, **** it.
Roster cap is 53 guys, not 530.
Epilogue: A third possibility here is maybe the light has finally turned on for one Jeffrey F. Janis. I hope like heck it has and I'm cheering for him like no other.
Just think, a whole 'nother year of Janis angst!

You mean the "tight roster" talk on the previous page? Never thought of that.
What have you seen this camp/pre-season to make you think that maybe, just maybe, the light went on for Janis?
JJ is what he is. If Dupre, Yancey, Clark, or McCaffrey were better on ST coverage units, they'd have that spot as each showed more as a WR in 6 weeks than Janis has in 3 years.

Not happening. Janis Simplex B is here to stay.
Janis will be with the team until he can't cut it as a gunner any more. The way I look at it, the bottom WRs don't play anyway so why not get something out of them on STs? If Yancey, McCaffery or Dupre had shown special ST ability, they would probably be on the roster today.

Always an excuse. Once the team was set they had the same opportunity to win.

Not a damn thing, H5. You speak truth.
Henry posted:Roster cap is 53 guys, not 530.
I'd settle for a roster of 529. I don't think there are enough college players to have a roster of 530.
Hank jumped the shark long ago
Was it to late to go there? The internet Fonzy joke was on page 11, but I didn't see it til now cause I was reading up on the history of the *Redblacks.
Fascinating stuff.
*it was porn
Better late than never, EBL. No GIF?
Fandame posted:The way I look at it, the bottom WRs don't play anyway so why not get something out of them on STs?
But they do play. Our top 3 all have injury histories and have missed significant time. Sometimes the backups are all you have, like the playoffs 2 seasons ago.
Unusual year, I agree. But the upside of the guys on the PS now is higher than McCaffrey. If our top 5 (Cobb, Jordy, Adams, Geronimo, and gulp, Janis) can stay healthy any length of time, the guys on the PS develop and can step in. They may not be as assignment-sure as McCaffrey seemed to be right away, but they also become better than McC quicker.
Top 5 GBP WRs: Nelson, Adams, Cobb, Allison, Davis.
Then, add Montgomery, Bennett, Kendricks, and RRodgers ALL as receiving threats before you begin to consider Janis in the passing game.
Yup, better top 5. I forgot about our TEs.
Ted may be not done with this roster just yet...
He flew in yesterday afternoon, still in town, scheduled to meet with the coaches today. https://t.co/QGZZHdxwDK

who is "he"? Dial?
Yes. Played in SF as well in their 3-4 D. 9ers changed to a 4-3 so longer a fit.
Dial up a Blitz. makes sense
More like perfect for Capers Defense "Phone a Friend" 
He could always ask the audience.
Packers just signed Dial. Ted done lost his mind.
No details on deal yet.
gotta be better than "There will be Hell Toupee" Defense
It's like Ron Wolf has resumed command...and ESPN has early-mid 90's graphics showing the Pack has signed Reggie, Keith Jackson, and Sean Jones....well, one can reminisce anyway
