Idiotic Internet Articles about The Packers

[Patler]

More and more of the articles I see about the Packers are just plain nonsensical. I thought we could all have a few laughs by listing a few.

One today identified three possible trades GB could make:

First, Kenny Clark because GB is on a youth movement.
Second, Dillon, just because.
My comments: The first won't happen because they are in "win now" mode and Clark is too valuable. The second won't because who will give anything for Dillon? He may be released.

This was the clincher for this article:


Green Bay has found starters and starting-caliber players at every turn of the NFL Draft, and one guy who has been in and out of the rotation in recent years is former fourth-round pick Royce Freeman.

Freeman is entering a contract year ...

Given the fact that Freeman has fallen out of favor with the staff in Green Bay, ...

Royce Who?? Yup a real Packer expert posting this internet article.

[Patler]

There have been many, many articles and comments even from national "experts" stating that GB has to overcome the loss of David Bakhtiari next year, after releasing him this off-season. Many have made a big deal about his loss.

Really? Didn't they deal with that loss all last season, when he played only one game? Haven't they been dealing with it for three seasons already, two of which he has missed and one of which he had questionable availability every single week?

Releasing Bakhtiari has no impact of significance. He has been effectively gone a long time already.

i was listening to lavar arringtons show on the radio yesterday, and he had plaxico burress on, and he just kept shitting on GB

said GB was clearly the 3rd best team in the NFC north because chicago is now a contender since they just drafted a generational talent

also said that davante adams is in a much better place with the raiders (who don't have a QB) then he would be with love and green bay, because he said the raiders are closer to being contenders then we are

lavar and the other guy were laughing pretty hard at him. remember, this is a guy who ended his career by shooting himself in the leg

i've also read about the bahktiari stuff, like you said, we haven't really had him for 3 years now, and walker was one of the better rated LTs in the nfl last season if i'm not mistaken

its all just more proof that the "experts" aren't really watching all the games, or just don't know what the hell they are talking about in the first place

[MadtownPacker]

Probably some AI write up.

I prefer negativity towards the team. Being the preseason darling never works out unless you’re KC.

[red]

Probably some AI write up.

honestly, you could be very correct

[sharpe1027]

Cutting Bahk a loss they suddenly need to address? Hahahahaha.

[Patler]

I think many just see Bakhtiari on the waiver list, remember he is an All-Pro, and immediately comment that this is a huge loss, not even realizing what the Packers have been dealing with for three years.

[Patler]

As a fan, Bakhtiari's release was almost a breath of fresh air, a relief of sorts. you don't have to wonder about or hope for his return. Just time to move on.

In a way, before the draft, losing Nijman was more of a concern than was waiving Bakhtiari.

i said it was time to move on when he still wasn't healthy after a year

you just knew something was wrong when the knee kept acting up

after 2 years of that, i was shocked we decided to keep him for a third year, just a waste of money IMO

Well, I must disagree. I find those sorts of articles helpful and relevant.

I would love to provide you with further rationale, as I know the detail would support my position. However, I have to go do some research on a new Ford vehicle I am considering purchasing; if you haven't heard about it, it's the cutting-edge vehicle of the future. They've named it the "Edsel."

Then I've got to do some research about this coming election. I'm not sure whether I should vote for Amacus Stevenson or Dan Eisenhower.

[Scott Campbell]

First, Kenny Clark because GB is on a youth movement.


They need to get younger? Are they supposed to draft some 3rd graders?

[run pMc]

Off season clickbait now that the draft is over.
Royce Freeman is a RB out of Oregon. I think he's on his 3rd team now. Played ok for the Broncos for a few years, he might on a PS somewhere. Drives me crazy when people can't even be bothered to get a name correct. Poor research, poor editing.

They aren't trading Kenny or Dillon, that's crazy. I thought maybe they might consider offers for Kenny before the draft because of his cap hit but they are better off keeping him. He's probably getting an extension to lower his cap number and allow them to sign Love.
Agree, they've already had to deal with the losee of Bakhtiari. They have Walker, they just drafted Jordan Morgan. What do they think GB is doing about the LT position?

I love it when people just look at a team's roster and start making weird assumptions and claims without knowing anything about the team or the recent situations of those players.
They could be AI generated articles, you never know. It might also be some writer who gets $50 per article and is just cranking them out as quickly as they can. National beat writers also often get GB wrong as well, but I assume that's because they are also looking at 31 other teams. Still, it's not a good look if you can't even get the Bakhtiari situation correct, that's been a thing for years now.

Title: Green Bay Packers' Strategy and Selections in the 2022 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers entered the 2022 NFL Draft with high hopes of bringing in talent to complement their roster and bolster their chances for a successful season. With key needs to address on both sides of the ball, the Packers' front office had an opportunity to make crucial decisions that could shape the team's future.

In the first round of the draft, the Packers turned heads by selecting cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. from Clemson University. Booth is known for his athleticism, ball skills, and physicality, making him a promising addition to Green Bay's secondary. With the departure of veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander looming, Booth's selection was a proactive move to ensure the team's long-term success in the defensive backfield.

In the second round, the Packers addressed their offensive line needs by selecting Tyler Smith, a versatile offensive lineman from Tulsa. Smith's ability to play multiple positions along the line will provide valuable depth and flexibility for the Packers, especially in light of injuries that have plagued the team in recent seasons.

The Packers continued to fortify their defense in the later rounds of the draft, selecting players like linebacker Leo Chenal from Wisconsin and defensive lineman DeAngelo Malone from Western Kentucky. Chenal brings toughness and playmaking ability to the linebacker corps, while Malone's pass-rushing skills will add another dimension to Green Bay's defensive front.

One of the most intriguing picks of the Packers' draft came in the fourth round when they selected quarterback Tanner Mordecai from SMU. With Aaron Rodgers inching closer to the end of his career, the Packers' decision to draft Mordecai signals their commitment to grooming a successor at the quarterback position. Mordecai's strong arm and football IQ make him an intriguing prospect to develop behind one of the game's greatest quarterbacks.

Overall, the Packers' 2022 draft class addressed key areas of need while also investing in future talent and depth for the team. By focusing on both sides of the ball and selecting versatile players who can contribute immediately, the Packers set themselves up for success in the upcoming season and beyond.

Moving forward, the development and integration of these young players will be crucial to the Packers' success. Head coach Matt LaFleur and his staff will play a key role in maximizing the potential of the draft class and finding ways to utilize their skills effectively within the team's system.

As the offseason progresses and training camp approaches, all eyes will be on the Packers' rookies as they aim to prove themselves and earn playing time on a competitive roster. The competition for roster spots will be fierce, but the depth and talent brought in through the draft will only serve to elevate the team and push everyone to perform at their best.

In conclusion, the Green Bay Packers' selections in the 2022 NFL Draft reflect a strategic approach to building a competitive roster for the upcoming season. By addressing key needs, investing in future talent, and fostering healthy competition within the team, the Packers have taken steps to position themselves for success in the highly competitive landscape of the NFL.

With a mix of established veterans and promising rookies, the Packers are poised to make a strong push towards their ultimate goal of contending for a championship. As the season unfolds and the rookies acclimate to the NFL grind, the true impact of the draft class will become clearer, but there is no doubt that the Packers have set themselves up for an exciting and promising future with their 2022 draft selections.

Without reading most of the posts in this thread, I'm all for trading Royce Freeman if we can get anything for him.

[Patler]

Green Bay Packers rookie offensive tackle Jordan Morgan will have big shoes to fill when he takes the field for the first time in 2024.

For the better part of the past decade, it was David Bakhtiari protecting the Green Bay quarterback’s blind side.

For the better part of the last decade, but not much of the last three years. Bakhtiari's shoes have been missing a long time. They don't need filling.

[bobblehead]

Ya know what. Nick Collins was on the verge of stardom. Those are some pretty big shoes for Bullard to fill.

You know what article I'm not seeing anywhere and none of us are discussing here. How our offense will run through the TE room if MiLF doesn't fuck it up. We seriously need to practice some hurry up for when teams get caught with the wrong personnel to match up with those 2 guys (3 if sims improves). I'm not even sure what the right personnel is unless a team has 2 cover/run fit LB that they can consistently trot out. Kraft and Luke are going to be a defenses nightmare. I hope they have been putting in the work this offseason.

[Patler]

I agree about the TEs. Brings back memories of Gronkowski and the murderer for the Patriots.

I don't know much about the game any more, but I do wonder, in my "it's-still-the-90's" brain, if they could trot out two tight ends, an H back, and a running back, one wide receiver, and then have the option of running the ball - all that blocking! - or play action off that to one of those tight ends. Might be fun.

Hopefully sims, but the direct comparison would probably be the "2nd" guy kraft. I'd hate to lose him because he lost his patience with a Culvers teenage cashier and offed the poor kid.

You can do anything your personnel dictates. If Dillon is the H back and Lloyd is the RB then why not. Both can catch the ball at different levels of the field especially if Watson can draw a safety deep. Or you can just crush it with both TE's blocking. Taking advantage of guys that can do multiple things was fat mikes ultimate failure. You have Ty Montgomery and Cobb on the same roster and never took advantage of it. Criminal.

Mike would get a little crazy once in a while. I remember in 2018 vs the Rams he trotted out 4 TE's and a RB in a goal line situation. I was at that game and I remember watching them line up and counting them - somewhat in disbelief. I can't even remember if it worked. Most people remember that game because Ty Montgomery brought out a late 4 quarter kick where he was explicitly told to take a knee, and got himself cut as a result.

But Monty also caught that with one foot in play if I recall. It was one of those things. He probably should have just let it go, but then if it spikes he's wrong as well. Cutting Ty after that was just one more example of fat mike being dumb as a stump. Its not like the guy made a mountain of mistakes and this was the final straw. No, tubby would rather watch AJ Hawk make 14 tackles 7 yards downfield game after game.

Perhaps the comparison should have been Jackson and Chumura. Then Kraft would only be caught partying with high school girls after his playing days.

Title: Green Bay Packers Release David Bakhtiari: End of an Era

The Green Bay Packers made a significant and emotional decision with the release of David Bakhtiari, marking the end of an era for the franchise. Bakhtiari, a cornerstone left tackle, has been an integral part of the Packers' offensive line for nearly a decade, contributing immensely to the team's success on the field.

Drafted by the Packers in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Bakhtiari quickly established himself as one of the league's premier left tackles. Known for his exceptional pass protection and agility, Bakhtiari became a key component in safeguarding quarterback Aaron Rodgers' blindside, earning multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections throughout his career.

However, the decision to release Bakhtiari was not made lightly. The 30-year-old suffered a devastating ACL injury in December of the previous season, sidelining him for the remainder of the year and casting uncertainty on his future with the team. Despite undergoing surgery and rigorous rehabilitation, the Packers ultimately opted to part ways with Bakhtiari, citing concerns over his long-term health and ability to return to peak performance.

The departure of Bakhtiari leaves a significant void in the Packers' offensive line and locker room. Beyond his on-field contributions, Bakhtiari was revered for his leadership, work ethic, and commitment to the community. His presence will be sorely missed both on and off the field, as the Packers look to navigate the challenges of rebuilding their offensive line without one of its most dependable stalwarts.

For Bakhtiari, the release represents the closing of a chapter in his illustrious career with the Packers. Despite the disappointment of leaving the team he called home for nearly a decade, Bakhtiari expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play in Green Bay and the bonds forged with teammates, coaches, and fans. As he embarks on the next chapter of his NFL journey, Bakhtiari leaves behind a lasting legacy of excellence and dedication to the Green Bay Packers organization.

In the wake of Bakhtiari's release, the Packers face the daunting task of filling the void left by his departure. Whether through free agency, the draft, or internal roster moves, the team must find a capable successor to protect Aaron Rodgers and anchor the offensive line. The departure of a player of Bakhtiari's caliber undoubtedly presents challenges, but it also provides an opportunity for the Packers to redefine and reinforce their identity moving forward.

As the NFL offseason progresses, the Green Bay Packers and their fans bid farewell to David Bakhtiari with gratitude for his contributions and optimism for the future. While his departure marks the end of an era, Bakhtiari's impact on the Packers and the legacy he leaves behind will endure for years to come.

"Not as a new offensive coordinator, but a title above who would run the show. The Jets had enough things they needed to address this offseason without replacing areas they're content with. That pursuit tells me, internally, there are legitimate concerns with Hackett's ability to successfully run things.

It almost feels like the Jets are putting so much faith in Aaron Rodgers' ability to correct Hackett's wrongdoings. Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line. They figure he can do the same come the regular season."

- Connor Hughes, SNY

Ok, Idiotic article. Many many times?? When? He played like 4 snaps, so is Rodgers audibling in practice and that's a concern? OK, its not really a packer article, but it was posted on a packers site.

edit: Although I am in favor of any article that points out something I said when MiLF hired him...Hackett is a moron.

Welcome. I actually think there’s starting to be a resurgence of message boards because Twitter and other social media is so polluted with algorithms that bring up the most negative stuff. Where here we have madtown Hitler whipping us when we drag negative shit into the football forum.
