A Thought on Montgomery's Future

[The Shadow]

Just wondering : Jones & Williams (yes, I know it's early) look like NFL running backs. This week, it sure seems like we get to see Mays in action. What if all 3 turn out to be pretty good?
With Adams approaching free agency, would the Pack consider moving Montgomery back to receiver?

have we already destroyed his development at WR?

he looked to have a decent future, then we made him spend the most important years of his development learning a new position

my question would be, IF we move him back, would he be as good as he was, or could have been

and williams didn't do shit in preseason, so its gonna take more then 1 decent game against a really shitty team to prove he's actually a RB

you mean like half a year and an offseason?

And who ever said he was going to be a back only?

It will be interesting to see how much time he spends and where. He's effective from multiple formations.

With the rib injury, I'm sure Belichick has his eye on him.

[Harlan Huckleby]

His immediate future ought to be IR.

His immediate future ought to be IR.

nah. putting him on ir would end his season. they can only bring one guy back now and it'll probably be Rodgers. a couple more weeks and he should be fine. don't know what Adams status has to do with Montgomery. Adams will be resigned and be the #1 for the foreseeable unless they draft a phinom. Ty has one more year on his contract. i'm sure he'll do whatever they ask but rb is where i'm guessing he stay.

Yes.

[Teamcheez1]

He will be traded for a conditional 7th round pick next year.

[Harlan Huckleby]

a couple more weeks and he should be fine.

if he reinjured the ribs, which seems likely, why would he be fine in a couple weeks?

Playing with broken ribs was risky. Reinjury is why.

That said, we don't really have xray eyes.

[texaspackerbacker]

I doubt Montgomery is damaged long term, and he played a lot better as a RB than as a WR. No reason not to keep him and the other three next year, same as this year.

If Cobb or Adams goes, I'd rather see Janis FINALLY get a chance at WR - along with Allison and Purdue kid and the LSU kid that I can't remember the names of - we do still have them on the practice squad, don't we?

I do. It figures you were too cheap to send in the $1.

The Bears may be shitty but their defense isn't.

If Janis was going to be a decent WR he would have shown it by now. He is what he is = a special teams demon. And guys like him are valuable to have on your team.

[pbmax]

I think he is going to be a fantastic 3rd down back who can also split out wide.

Say hello to the new Calvin Johnson.

You mean something like leading all RBs in the entire NFL in snaps through 5 weeks?

[red]

what the fuck are you talking about?

[Harlan Huckleby]

WTFAYTA

Basically Brandon Jackson. Maybe not the bell cow RB you want on all 3 downs, but versatile, can pass block, get open on a screen and catch the ball.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Edgar became a pass receiving demon. Not sure about stats, but he very sure-handed. Plus the blitz picker upper.

As I recall, sort of, Brandon Jackson was excellent for one season. Maybe it was two.

He shined bright like diamonds in the sky. Then he was gone - disappeared in Ohio.
