Magical Fairy Dust

[Cheesehead Craig]

OK, you have some fairy dust in pouch and you have enough to sprinkle it on 3 Packers currently on the roster. This magical fairy dust will allow those 3 players to not get hurt, heal any current injury and allow them to play at a Pro-Bowl level for the season and throughout the playoffs. Who do you sprinkle?

[Guiness]

Neale, Ravi and a random RB.

[smuggler]

Tramontana, Neal, and Sherrod

[Zool]

Rodgers, Matthews and Perry

Without the first 2, the Packers are a 7-9 team.

I agree with Zool but if we would be unable to take those who are currently healthy:

Jolly, Bishop and Sherrod.

[smuggler]

But Zool, if you make Sherrod into a Pro Bowl LT, Rodgers can protect himself. As for Matthews, it's a risk to pump Neal instead, but I'm taking it. As for Tramon, I could be convinced to swap to Perry pretty easily.

Jolly, Bishop and Sherrod.

Oh I didn't read it as guy who are currently a health question mark.

Perry, Sherrod, Bishop. I think better LB play would ease some of the DL issues.

I have this nagging feeling that Sherrod is Harrell 2.0 but I hope I'm wrong. Tons of talent but never healthy.

[Cheesehead Craig]

You can use any player currently on the roster you want. They can be healthy or injured. I just noted that the dust can heal current injuries so that it would open those players up for inclusion.

Rodgers, Matthews and Perry

It doesn't have to be Rodgers or Mathews. It could be BJ Coleman and Micah Johnson, or any other QB and LB on the roster. After all, the magic fairy dust will "allow them to play at a Pro-Bowl level for the season and throughout the playoffs"

In fact, since both Matthews and Rodgers are young, have missed few games and are pro-bowl calibre anyway, I wouldn't waste my magic fairy dust on them. I would use it on a left tackle (doesn't matter who), a D-lineman to start with Pickett and Raji, and a safety to start with Burnett.

[smuggler]

He's only had one injury, though. It just was very severe. Hopefully he can contribute this season, because if not, he's off the team and thus full bust.

I think it matters who, you'd want to take advantage of the healing powers of the dust.

Sherrod, Worthy, Starks

Did nobody else pick a RB?

[pbmax]

Sherrod is a huge question mark but unlike a back injury, there would seem to be a point where a broken leg, even with nerve damage, gets healthy enough to go full speed.

Somehow arguing for his ascendancy based PURELY on the fact that talent-wise he would be the biggest upgrade the O line could get from current personnel has me rooting like crazy for him. And that from someone who was not clamoring to draft him. He seemed like a fine choice but not quite Raji or Matthews in terms of need or immediate fit. In fact, the closest comparable reaction to his selection was Rodgers or Nelson. "We have one already and sure we could use a backup, but with THIS pick?"

[pbmax]

Perry, Sherrod, Bishop. I think better LB play would ease some of the DL issues.

No, no. I don't think Craig meant to limit it. But if you ensure healthy players, then the dynamic and rich duo take the top spots every time.

BTW, Starks is a nice call 3irty1.

I debated with myself, RB vs safety as the third pick. Decided to go with defense

If the fairy dust prevents injury and results in pro-bowl play.....




Sherrod, Neal, Alex Green
