    Kendricks has the speed and route running ability to get open. The game I was at...he could create separation and ran good routes

    Plodder just knows how to read zone coverage and find the spot to sit down and wait for the ball to come.

    Kendricks IMO can be a functional starter with a good QB.

    Still, I expect every starter and backup to play as well or better than the best person at his position in the NFL, or at least at pro bowl level, so he's way short.
    its just like finely that one season

    for about 5 games in a row they said he had 4 drops on the season, and he had about 2 drops in each one of those 5 games, plus the 4 they mentioned, but they just kept saying four drops. in fact at one point they lowered the number to 3 on the year

    bennett has had many more then just 3 drops. its like if they get 2 hands on the ball they count it as a swatted down pass instead of a drop

    i also don't think they count it as a drop if the guy only gets one hand on it, or he gets no hands on it but it hits him in the face or chest, or if they make no attempt at all to catch a catch-able ball

    I think a fast pass catching TE - and Cook was really effective for a couple months with Rodgers - is more valuable.
    No he didn’t. The pass went backward so it was a TD run.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Blame stubby. Most of his career in GB has been spent pass blocking.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    ya, I know it was a lateral, a.k.a. backwards pass. English language says he caught a pass, then ran for a touch down.

    I can be pushed only so far.

    I agree with Tex, he hasn't shown much.

    Yes, in between dropped passes.


    I really don't have it in for Bennett. Not sure he won't turn it around. I'm just pissed that Cook came, saw, conquered, then fucking left.

    The thing is, Bennett should be an upgrade over Cook. For whatever reason, he just hasn't shown up.

    I guess he figures that with Hundley now starting, he won't get much of an opportunity. I think he may decide to play one more year. The Packers will want him back, and he has millions of reasons to continue playing.

    Stubby? I think the blame should be on the mess on the OL because of injuries.

    Cook's first seven games: 17 199 1 TD

    Marty's first seven games: 24 233 0 TD

    Today's Facebook Flashback: Everyone on this board was complaining about Cook's production through 8 games last year. Its not a Bennett problem. Though the dropsies don't help.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    See, complaining works!
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Release him now.

    i'm thinking that our season is done, so i think anyone in the last year of their deal with any kind of trade value should be traded for picks (that we will then waste on shitty defensive players)

    and guys who will not be on the team after this season

    You might not like my takes but at least I am usually consistent!
