    The #Packers have released tackle Aaron Adams: http://pack.rs/2rm7z
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    It's as if Alex Smith is playing a different sport.

    What does that show????? "Air Minus Needs Yards Differential"? What the heck is that? (I could guess, but I don't want to.)

    How far down the field the ball was thrown for the catch. Its passing yardage minus YAC.

    Then what is the "Minus Needs" part of it?

    I thought it was air yards gained minus yards needed on third down, showing that Rodgers throws for 3+ more yards than he needs, on average.

    Air Minus Need? So, how far past the first down marker they throw the ball?

    edit: Patler beat me to the guess

    Sorry, I only defined the first part. Air Yards is yards passing minus YAC.

    Minus needs is taking distance for a first down (possibly distance to score near goal line-but unsure as I haven't read all the details) and subtracting it from the throw. And yes, this is only third down.

    I am not sure it tells you much about Rodgers versus Manning, but it does tell you that Alex Smith is very trusting of his receivers to get YAC for a first.

    Probably why he's considered a dink and dunk QB. The one thing Smith has going for him though is his mobility. I wonder what his stats are for scrambling first downs. He doesn't run a lot, but it seems to be effective (much like Rodgers).

    It's like you took Rodgers and his distaste for turnovers and then stripped away the arm strength and big plays...

    Looks like a camp arm. They're calling him a second year player, but it's his 4th year in the league - he was a UDFA in 2012. Also managed to get injured a couple of times, badly enough to get a settlement the first time and the other landing on IR while in camp or on the PS.

    Kudos to Andrew Quarless for throwing off the shackles of reality:

    "I consider myself the top echelon of tight ends," Quarless said, per the Green Bay Press Gazette. "That's really where I see myself and that's really where I'm trying to take it. A couple other guys like (Rob Gronkowski) and a couple guys who are up there. I put myself in that bracket. That's definitely where I'm training to be."

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    But you know, Bob, that makes you work just hard enough not to get fired.
