You absolutely have to sign this guy, right? I mean... he has put up some pretty big numbers with bad quarterbacks in STL. I've never seen him play but the numbers don't lie. He seems pretty athletic, too. What say you?

If you've ever seen him in person, yer amazed at what a stud he is physically.
He's never produced & got big money, top QB's or no.
There will be a lot of players cut and UFAed this off-season.
Maybe we do dip our toes in that FA pool. -

There are a few TE's I wouldn't mind taking a look at (Cook, Ladarius Green).Go PACKComment

Besides Hibernation, there is no reason TT cant' find a serious upgrade at TE in free agency.
Jared Cook, perhaps Martellus Bennett, and either Fleener or Allen from Indy will most likely head the list.
All of them are superior to the bad, badder, and baddest we already have on our roster.
Generally, though TT hibernates for the first 30 days of Free Agency and then sees what might be out there after. We'll just have to be patient.
BTW, the Rams ILB would be a very nice fit as well. Of course, he'll get signed most likely within the 30 day period.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Bretsky, I'd be willing to entertain the idea if you hadn't written "serious" upgrade. How is a guy with Cook's numbers or Bennett's numbers/age a "serious" upgrade? Maybe a minor upgrade. Maybe the potential is higher than Rodgers's. But not a serious upgrade.
Laurenitis seems like AJ Hawk Junior to me, complete with OSU pedigree. How is that an upgrade??"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Yeah, that's the drill, B.
The TE UFA's are very interesting and our TE's ain't. Interesting or any good.
Lauranitis has Packer written all over him, but TT treats that position like a spare tire.
He wants one of his mid rounders to pan out and not put much $ at that position.
I'm worried that by playing CMIII in the middle for a couple seasons, we may have frittered his time as an outside rusher away.Comment

^^^ Clay got some outside rushes in, some stunts, etc. I haven't started rewatching the games yet, but if and when I do, I plan to get some numbers as to how many times they freed him up to rush from outside. I suspect it's a lot more than people think."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

The running meme of the need for upgrade at TE really has taken hold. I honestly think the problem is not the quality of the TE, but the way he was used. Don't get me wrong, the Packers can do better than Rodgers, and they need more depth for sure, with Q being a shadow. But (for example) constantly deploying Richard Rodgers in the flat was a failure of imagination and a mis-assignment of a player. The scheme can be a whole lot better. Also, Rodgers has to trust that he can throw higher across the middle to Rodgers. It may have been part of his mistrust of his accuracy that prevented such throws.
My bottom line: The TE position is a position of need, but it's not a tire fire."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

Bennet's numbers were down this year, but he was playing with fractured ribs before being put on IR for the last 5 games. Unlike Cook, he can block. He's only 1 year removed from a Pro Bowl year. He would be an upgrade.Originally posted by Fritz View PostI can't run no more

I agree to a large extent, Rand. You can't dump on DickRod. Hell, for a couple 3 games he was the only receiver getting open and making catches.
MM needs to re-install those middle of the field routes that all but disappeared from our play sets last season.
We didn't have WR's that could run shallow crosses or those backside digs at all.
Adams was hurt and had the drops. Jones slowed to a crawl and didn't draw any looks from opposing safeties. Cobb was really dinged and played a few games when he should have been getting healed up.
it seemed like ground hog day with Clements sending 'em in last season.
1st down - loss of two
2nd down - a smoke route that gains a yard
3rd down and eleven? Rodgers had few cards to play.
TE's? DickRod is a good young kid. Shoot, he gets a hall pass for the "Turkey Mary" if nothing else.
But there is roster room with the other guys. We need to lose Q and Perillo's beer gut if nothing else at TE.
Get DRod a playmate who knows what he's doing.
Coby Fleener or somebody like that wouldn't bother me a bit.Comment
