    The prophesied release of "He who has been himself" - Kurt Benkert

    - I wonder if they were curt when they released Kurt Benkert.
    - The transaction seemed overt said Bert Benkert (No relation).
    - Are they always curt when releasing players or are they only curt when releasing dudes named Kurt or perhaps they're only curt for Kurt Benkert?
    - I hope no one was hurt and everyone was completely alert for the release of Kurt Benkert.
    - I wonder if he'll change his middle name to "has" so people can call him Kurt Has Benkert (Kurt Has-Been-Kert)
    - The final thing I wish to assert is hoping that Kurt Benkert saved enough to not live in a Yurt.

    German Shepherd ain’t gonna ship Love out this year, so the Packers are actually a bit amiable in allowing Benkert the chance to catch on with another team prior to training camp. Looks like dude’s a popular social media influencer, so he’ll be fine and dandy if he ain’t throw a rock again. Purchased an RV last year and was ready tour this uncool nation - and babble about it on social media. But the Packets were willing to pay him $16,000/wk, so he opted to throw rocks on the practice squad instead.

    The Packers were curt with Kurt Warner, though. Mooch literally told Warner he was inferior to a redneck gunslinger (Favre), a polygamist Mormon (Detmer) and a poor man’s Steve Young (Brunell). I hope Nutz starts showing American Underdog to his players.

    As an introvert I don't mean to blurt, but a Kurt Benkert yurt is just a survival skirt and could flirt with spurts of hurt if he's not alert.

    Like any typical man, Guter wants someone newer and younger, someone he and his coach can shape into the dream they want.

    Poor Kurt. Cast aside for a newer, younger model. May he go on to become the next Kurt Warner.

    He’s definitely in my top 5 of all 3rd string QB’s in the NFL. Going to be difficult to replace…..

    Well,

    You know it's the dead time of year for NFL and particularly Packers football when someone says:

    Top 5 3rd string vs bottom half 2nd string. Hard to nail down, so many intangibles. Accuracy, mobility, social media savy, lots of factors.

    Seriously though I do feel backup qb is an important position for us. I hope he can make our ps.

    Wasn't going to make the roster, let him go now so he has a better chance to stick on another team. MLF got him in a game last year for the first time ever. I don't think Kurt has hard feelings about it. I wish the dude luck

    Better then love and can game.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    Based on what the coaches have seen they apparently disagree

    Capn Kick, stay you pal.

    Would have really missed PR if there was a season without the Cap.

    Joe, Joe, regarding Kurt, you're rather alert.

    @KurtBenkert

    A Hall of Famer, a YouTuber, and the back-to-back NFC Player of the Week.

    Some rumblings out there about this being the greatest QB room of all time.

    I wonder if because he's the least wealthy of the three - that Kurt Benkert, backup QB for a curt spurt, feels hurt?
