Pittsburgh & Denver are praying he's a bust.

Problem is, Lacy won't need to carry the ball much more than 10-15 times a game.

Aaron Rodgers passing attack alone should extend Lacy's career

He does need to be able to block however, and it sounds like he's not very good at it.

He ran behind a line that was as good as a lot of lines in the NFL. I put him on a 3.5 ypc average which would be welcome in green bay.

Until he gets hurt AGAIN. Guy couldn't even make it through his pro day......

He's right.

Fire TT.

Trade Rodgers for Ponder

and trade Lacy for Toby Gerhart.

and, if they're willing, trade Randall Cobb for Jerome Simpson.

Everyone's at risk to get injured. But Lacy was always available when needed in the game.

Moreover, there's a reason why we drafted 2 RBs; we don't have to commit to a feature back if both of them pan out as needed, so not only will Rodgers' passing attack extend Lacy's career, so will Franklin being there as part of a 1-2 combo.

We can just have Lacy follow AP's rehab regiment. Problem solved.

Pack need do more things the "Vikings" way, clearly

Like shave 1/32" off the crossbar of the "G" and release their "Brave, new logo".

Lacy can block just fine, in fact some have said it's a strength for him. He's a 3-down RB unlike Adrian Peterson.

Also I don't think a Vikings fan should talk about injury prone RBs. Peterson has always been injury prone.

Dude has a wicked spin move.

Oh, of course it is.


Weaknesses:
Needs improvement on his pass protection
Needs to improve pass receiving


But yeah....it's a strength.

Jaymo, don't you have a Vikings forum you can go circlejerk in rather than act like you're accomplishing something on a Packers forum where the only reason you haven't been banned is because you would claim it as a 'victory' of some sort?

Good thing scouting reports are never incorrect.

Like this one on Tom Brady:

Weaknesses:
- Looks a little frail and lacks great physical stature and strength
- Lacks a really strong arm
- Can't drive the ball down the field and does not throw a really tight spiral
- System-type player who can get exposed if he must ad-lib and do things on his own

Jaymo is the type of person who goes on bleacherreport everyday and absorbs everything he reads like sponge and then comes on here and rings it out and expects us to be taken aback by it all.

I'm just disappointed that Lacey won't be able to develop his skills at picking up the blitz and/or pass blocking. I mean, pretty much what he is now is what we get: a weak pass blocker.

Kinda like a RB that fumbles a lot. Once a fumbler always a fumbler. :cough28cough:

I thought you were a Vikings fan. Don't you worship at the feet of the worst blocking back in the NFL? DUMB!

I know, right? Just like every Viking draft pick is locked in to be horrible. Even Ponder who is basically in his second year. Writing's on the wall all the way around.

AP's a horrible blocker. What's your point? Does that mean Lacy will be an awesome blocker?

Jeez, you are DENSE. Does that mean he can perform well with less than perfect form as a blocker? The last time I looked, the league MVP was whiffing on blocks like so many drug tests.

Breakout offensive players to watch out for

Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay Packers: I know I said I was avoiding rookies, by and large, but this fit just looks too good to be true. For Lacy to fall to the Packers, and given their obvious need at his position, and their equally-as-obvious dominance in the passing game, I just can't resist.

Yes, they drafted another rookie back in the talented Jonathan Franklin, but Lacy has a strong pedigree and I expect the concerns about any bumps and bruises, his Alabama workload and issues with his 40 time to be erased by what he does on the field.

He doesn't have to be a savior or a game breaker, just be effective and consistent and he will put up numbers. Coach Mike McCarthy will sprinkle him in well, he should see plenty of the ball down by the goal-line and the locker room already has plenty of leaders.

He just has to be a hard-working rookie, and the fact he fell as far as he did will only stoke his motivational fire. I like the potential of this fit, a lot, and unlike at positions like receiver, running back remains an area where rookies can and do contribute right away as long as they get a grasp on the protections. Nick Saban prepares his kids for what it takes to play at the next level, so I don't anticipate that being a problem here.

What does AP have to do with it? AP is a bad blocker so Lacy will be a good blocker?

Stutter much?

"....Lacy is also a gifted receiver out of the backfield and has proven both alert and physical in pass protection, making it likely he'll be able to step in and contribute immediately as a rookie."

This post solidifies my theory that jaymo is nothing but a bot with a random phrase generator.

Needs better AI.

I can never read this quote too many times. It's so so true.

How can I possibly argue with that kind of earth shattering analysis! That's almost as strong as your Christian Ponder "if he plays well then the offense will do good" post from another thread. Keep 'em coming ace! Why don't you just leave the football talk to the adults...sprout a couple chest hairs, graduate from high school, actually watch some football, and then come back give us your opinion.

ED-DEEE...LAY-CEE....clap clap, clap-clap-clap

ED-DEEE...LAY-CEE....clap clap, clap-clap-clap

You might be a little excited about Lacy, huh baas?

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY HAD THE GALL TO WRITE A BAD SCOUTING REPORT ON A PACKLER DRAFT PICK!! HOW DARE THEY??? IT CAN'T BE RIGHT!!! WE KNOW MORE ABOUT FOOTBALL THAN ANYBODY!!! BECAUSE WE ARE PACKLER FANS!!!!


Do you think the packlers have ever made a bad/questionable draft pick? I mean before the guy has ever suited up for the packlers? Have they? I bet that thought has NEVER went through your head.

HE WAS DRAFTED BY THE PACKLERS!!! EVERY GOOD ANALYSIS OF HIM MUST BE SPOT ON AND ANY SCOUT/NFL GM THAT HAS ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT HIM IS AN IDIOT AND HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT!!!

Comical.


Now somebody hurry up and alter this post so your widdle feewings don't get huwt.

Too bad BKs efforts with VG can't work on all MIN fans.

VG was like the proverbial one-eyed king in the land of the blind compared to this troll. jaymoron doesn't even have two brain cells to rub together.

Eddie Monster.. I kinda like it. better than muscle hamster

You're on a roll! You can't make this stuff up! Little to no intelligent analysis, all drama. Like I said, come back with an opinion when you're all grown up.

I don't about the rest of you but with the guy's propensity for all caps, I'm thinking this is LIONFART.

I noticed you refused to answer the question. All I have to do is look at your takes in EVERY draft pick thread.

You make Homer Simpson blush.

who ya gonna trust?
one of the NFL's best GM's and scouting depts or some sportswriter? kiper's never wrong after all.
it's a shame how out of shape Pickett is.
too bad Finley was cut.
we all know anyone who types in all capitals has the most qualified insight of anyone on the internets. we should all show a little mo' respect that we're chosen to be graced with such wisdom.

I ordered my "GBP 2013 Draft was a Bust" tshirt moments ago and have been playing e-pulltabs for minnesota ever since. SCOAL!
