Like are we really at the point where irrational haters have to make dumb ass comments when another player signs/trades a player? Or where we have to assume that just because a player makes an offhand comment about the Packers that it means ZOMG THEY WANTED TO COME HERE?Originally posted by RonWolfGOAT View PostTop 5 LBs by PFF Coverage Rating:
1. Karlos Dansby 94
2. Thomas Davis 92
3. Luke Kuechly 91
4. Jerrell Freeman 90
5. Brandon Marshall 89
Like are we really at the point with TT fans that they will actually lie about a players attributes just to defend TT?

I hope we bring him in. It's been a shit show at ILB, take a chance, draft well and have them beat out KD in two years.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.

RWG's posting style reminds me a lot of rbaloha. He could never let anything go.Originally posted by Striker View PostLike are we really at the point where irrational haters have to make dumb ass comments when another player signs/trades a player?

579!!!But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

I don't have access to PFF, so i don't have Dansby's final numbers, but this was Jan 13, 2016:
The latest football news, analysis, and rankings from PFF. Featuring data-driven rankings and stats for NFL, fantasy football, and the NFL Draft.
That said, I'm pretty sure Dansby will want more money and a starting spot...which TT isn't going to give over his young guys, not at Dansby's age.By the end of the season, Kuechly had allowed a passer rating of just 57.8 into his coverage—the best among all LBs—despite that number being hurt by his matchups with Julio Jones late in the season, a receiver even the best defensive backs in the league can’t cover, let alone a linebacker. The league average passer rating surrendered by a LB this season was 102.5, so targeting Kuechly as opposed to any other linebacker immediately causes a 45-point drop in passer rating.

I don't agree at all. Peppers was an old FA and he was allowed to start over the young guys.Originally posted by run pMc View PostThat said, I'm pretty sure Dansby will want more money and a starting spot...which TT isn't going to give over his young guys, not at Dansby's age.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

Dansby finished the year 5th by PFF in coverage among LBs. While I respect the work PFF does, they are just one tool in trying to evaluate a player (like a QB rating or QBR). I'll look at some of their ratings for Packers players, and there are some head scratchers. I think Casey Hayward was one that always seemed to be overrated by PFF. I couldn't tell you how good Dansby is in coverage though, as I haven't watched a lot of Cleveland games recently. That being said, the Packers have about $4-5M to spend. That is if they have no interest in bringing Mike Neal back. If Dansby wants more than about $3M/year, he'll probably have to go elsewhere. Same with Jared Cook.Originally posted by run pMc View PostNote the dates

The worry is that Dansby is 34. I know Peppers and Woodson have defied father time, but he's at the point where he could drop off at any time. Hardy Nickerson comes to mind."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

I don't think we paid that much for Nickerson; if you want to infinitely defend TT you could use Joe Johnson as an example.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 FLOWER

Giving Joyner a shot didn't hurt our financesOriginally posted by pbmax View PostNo, but Seth Joyner was objectively terrible. And I don't know about the PFF coverage stat. Jerrell Freeman was not on a lot of people's lists because he was considered a 2 down LB I believe.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.

Browns released ILB Karlos Dansby.
34-year-old play slipped in 2015, but he's still a quality starter. He graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 3 inside linebacker in coverage and is a known playmaker.
Dansby will be looking for a contender.
The Browns save $3.5 million against the cap with the move to cut ties with him.** Since 2006 3 X Pro Pickem' Champion; 4 X Runner-Up and 3 X 3rd place.

Johnson was brought on by Sherman, correct? I thought the underlying premise of this thread was comparing TT to Ron Wolf, the GOAT......Originally posted by Bretsky View PostI don't think we paid that much for Nickerson; if you want to infinitely defend TT you could use Joe Johnson as an example.

Yes, you are right then.Originally posted by George Cumby View PostJohnson was brought on by Sherman, correct? I thought the underlying premise of this thread was comparing TT to Ron Wolf, the GOAT......
It's an easy comparison. Ron Wolf was not afraid to make the big splash in a different era. He was a lot more John Elway and Mike Reinfeldt than Ted Thompson
Ted Thompson occasionally bargain shops in free agency. Had anybody really wanted Woodson we don't land him either.
Guys like Ron Wolf are not afraid of shooting for the moon at the risk of a season or two. TT likes stability
I don't get much of the criticism RonWolfGoat takes. Many of the points he makes, like them or agree with them or not, are accurate.
He subscribes to Ron Wolf/Elway/Reinfeldt............not the draft and develop major TT is. Sometimes TT mixed it in with a speckle of free agency but everybody know's it's not TT's forte......the press/writers/Packer fans.
Some just choose to defend him to death and some choose to criticize him for it.
If we only win one SB with Aaron Rodgers it will be a shameTERD 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 FLOWER
