Interesting. I have been the one SAYING Jimmy is an ineffective blocker. More so he flat out sucks at it. Nice fluff statement, but I haven't seen anything in his entire career to suggest he can block anyone. Still they must believe their own bullshit because they are playing him like an All Pro.

The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi -
Either Gutekunst is attempting to manipulate/mollify Graham, who may be asked to block more next season in in LeFleur's scheme, or Gute will soon turn out to be the worst talent evaluator/Packer GM since the Dan Devine days.
Here's how Devine tried to "upgrade" the quarterback position as GM in the early 70's:
"All told, Devine just didn’t have the eye for quarterback talent in Green Bay. First, he traded a guy who had some real talent in Horn without even giving him a chance.
Devine also drafted Hunter and Tagge. Both were given ample opportunities to succeed, but never did.
But it was the five trades that Devine made to acquire other quarterbacks which really set the Green Bay franchise back. In trading for Bratkowski, Del Gaizo, Concannon, Carlson and Hadl, Devine gave up two first-round picks, four second-round picks, three third-round picks and a fifth-round pick."
Whichever it is - master manipulator or terrible talent evaluator - we know it's not that Graham is a good blocker."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Sounds to me like he's saying there are a lot of guys playing TE in the NFL who aren't any better of a blocker than Graham is. Whether that's true or not, I don't think the Packers season will swing on how good of a blocker Jimmy Graham is. The real question is whether the Packers are paying an 8 figure salary to a guy who can't run and jump much anymore.If you watch the tape and watch other tight ends around the league, he’s a pretty solid blocker.I can't run no more

Honestly, how can you come to any other conclusion than that Devine was sent in purposely to destroy the Packer franchise?"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

Is this really the 12th player selected in the 2019 draft?Comment

No I am guessing if that is there man that they trade down to get Devon Bush, he has been going around 17-20 in most mock and the sims that I have run. And there will be quite a few Edges rushers left when we pick and potentially OL so I say we trade down and grab him pick up so extra ammo to maybe trade up from 30 to get someone else they like. Wishful thinking maybe but that is my guess. White will be long gone by 12 imho, I think either Oakland or Detroit won't pass on him. Oliver seems to be around more than white.Comment

He looks like Nick Barnett. Greedy Williams looked good though - he'd fit right in with a long line of Packer corners who don't like to tackle.Originally posted by Deputy Nutz View Post"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand.

That Gute quote is “AJ Hawk gets us lined up correctly” level of faint praise. Who cares if he is a future HoF?
What can he do next year for you? I fear he is the slot solution and he is going to be very limited.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

He had a good draft last year (so far) but Gute sounds an awful lot like Al/Ron/Ted:
“The ones that we’ve acquired lately are really fast, too, so that’s helpful,” Gutekunst said. “This is a big man’s game, always has been. Length is important. I don’t think it’s something we’re specifically just targeting. It’s about whether you can play the game. But it kind of just fell the way it fell last year."Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
