    I think we all IGNORE an epic failure that TT clearly does not value while some of the geniuses like Hoody often do.

    Where is our Darren Sproles ? Where is our Deon Lewis ? For that matter where is our James White ? G Bernard...etc ??

    If we had a RB who was the scat back type and excelled as a receiver it can help cover up the receiving deficiencies as well.

    I think we undoubtedly need a real TE threat and cut your ties with Qurless and use Rodgers for what he is....a slow reliable pass catcher who works the zone well and occasionally beats a LB in coverage =====Backup

    I'm not convinced we "have" to add a high end WR if Jordy comes back and we get the TE and RB
    TT drafted the scatback once but Johnathan Franklin's career came to an early end. John Crockett's scouting report gives him some high marks as a receiver, so perhaps he's a possibility. College football isn't producing a lot of real good true TE's right now. I think the Packers need to find a downfield threat though even if he's not a "true" TE. Maybe a guy like Evan Engram in Rounds 2-3. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p...87/evan-engram
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up

      or, an indication that Barclay just took longer to come back from his surgery. Barclay is no where near the player that he was two years ago. If he can get back to what he was, i have no problem with him as a reserve OL, but they do need to start finding the next group of starters, and Barclay isn't that.

        Yes, but even healthy, Barclay was an adventure with his pass blocking. He blocked for the run just fine.
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

          He was an adventure, but he had tenacity and just enough quickness to not get beaten cleanly all that often. Rodgers could deal with Barclay's guy, because Barclay was still engaged at least a little. Now, he still has tenacity, but can't recover worth a darn, and his guy gets on Rodgers without further influence from Barclay.

            Easier to do when Bach is not getting shoved backward as well.

              Franklin was more scat than back.
              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.

                Since I started this thread, Daniels has been signed. Perry has played his best football. I'd take him over Neal if I had to choose. Raji and Guion have played well. Kuhn seems to have seen increased playing time. Free agency starts March 15. Teams can start negotiating with players March 12.

                  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.
