ROUND 4 PICK 109 (f/NO through MIA) - OT DAVID BAKHTIARI (COLORADO)

The right thing for him to do is play.   He chose this profession, for better or worse.  I don’t need to hear about his views on turf; nor do I give a rats ass about his views on rebuilding.

Much like your precious little buddy in New Jersey the team made you one of the highest paid players at your position in the sport so at least make it look like you are all in.   The Packers didn’t sign up for load management.   If that’s how you feel then let’s figure out a way to make a trade.  You don’t want to be in GB so the FO can oblige.

He gets paid a shit ton of money to play football, not to take games off because he doesn’t want to play on artificial turf or save himself for next year.

When do we take David’s picture off the TimesFour banner.

X4 banner……not for pussies.

Having said that, knee injuries suck. I had knee surgery this morning to repair a torn meniscus. It must be frustrating to go through all of that and not be able to get back to 100%.

I had meniscus surgery 3 years ago. Still can't kneel on it for more than 5 minutes.

That being said, I thought Bacteria was full of it way before he got hurt.

Just here for the medical advice.

I think Bakh may have caught a Rodgers infection.

You mean he hasn't been immunized?

Apparently Bakh told Wallace on Saturday night that he wasn't going to be able to go. Organization would be further ahead just putting everything out there.

That’s obvious, he is still alive

Maybe he's just the Kawhi Leonard of NFL players?

I thought the same thing the other day.  Not sure where I saw the video but a reporter asked Bakh what advice he would give young players.  He had this smug look on his face as if to say "how dare you ask me that" and just said something short like playing within themselves or some nonsense like that. 

I have nothing to base my thought on why MLF is getting pissy when asked by reporters about Bakh but I think there is something going on behind the scenes and MLF has had enough of it but he is stuck with the situation.

Meant Walker.

Wrong Rasheed.

I can't keep em all straight either 😝

2 things IMO tells you that The Packers were blindsided by his not playing.

1.) Schefter tweeted out, I believe on Friday night, that both Jones and Watson were ruled out and were not going to play. If the Packers knew Bakh wasn't playing, that would have been leaked as well. Or Schefter tweets some shit about the Packers not feeling good about Bakh not playing due to knee swelling. Instead, crickets regarding 69.

2.) MLF and Steno were playing musical chairs at LT with Walker and Nyman both taking reps. No way they do that if they knew Bakh wasn't likely to play. They would have game planned his being out and put in a planned LT (likely Walker) to replace Bakh.

This explains MLF being so pissed yesterday and not wanting to take anymore questions on 69. In retrospect, I think if they can go back to March 2023, they eat the salary, save 6 million in cap dollars and move on from him.

Hard to imagine they aren't looking to do that now...as soon as economically or competitively feasible.

But if I recall correctly, maybe I am rong, but the cap hit would have been something like $40 million.  With the hit they took trading Rodgers there just may not have had the cap room to do both.  They not have been able to even field a 53 man team.
