First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

[Bretsky]

I definitely was pro-burns but I think Gary is going to be fine. Give him some time. It's three pre-season games in fer christ sakes. Pre-season. Pre-season. Pre-season.

He'll be fine. Let's give him some time.

He makes everybody better.

[Bretsky]

It's been great fun convincing everyone Gary is a bust, a la Tony Mandarich or Jamaal Reynolds. And he has yet to play a single down in an NFL regular season game!

I am quite impressed with myself. This might be my greatest Packerrats moment, which could only be exceeded if Gary has a great year and I am somehow able to change the narrative so it ends up that everyone believes that I predicted greatness for Rashan Gary from Day One.

Told ya Fritz was going to have a great season !!

[Bretsky]

So he sucks again?

(I know, for Fritz, he never stopped sucking.)

Not again

Looks like Tarzan; plays like Jane

[Bretsky]

This line makes me feel slightly uneasy.

Give me the microphone Fritzy and I'll never stop talking ))

[wist43]

Well, before you flipped, you did say he's be out of the league in 3 years ))

The problem with Gary isn't his physical ability - its his 10 cent head, and overall lack of toughness.

What you hope you're getting is the highlight reel, and all-pro effort. Gary seems like he's lazy and an excuse maker... as I said, those guys always fail and everyone laments what could have been.

I was first on that bandwagon. I think I'm president of the Fritz Fan Club.

Bretsky in mid season form! You know if Gary pounds out 8-10 sacks imma be rubbing it in too!!

And I love being wrong when I can’t stand a player. But in this case I hope I’m right!

If Gary pounds out a bunch of sacks I'd be disappointed in your if you didn't rub it in )

[Bretsky]

Yes, he does

I think he was the first to join my Odell Smash Mouth Thurman bus

I’m gonna have fun with the season no matter what. Even if it’s just taking and giving shit, I ain’t gonna get all serious no matter what! I’m getting too old to be tense. Not worth it!

[bobblehead]

You guys should run your own team. There's money to be made in football I hear.

Sure. At my age I will start a new career that is rife with nepotism and abandon my lifes work. Why not.

[bobblehead]

I mean, you're a little premature, no? We're about 3 years away from having any idea. I'm optimistic. Is there any doubt the bottom of the roster is more athletic and more competitive than in years past?

Of course. I hedged my words if you read them. I am giving my impressions atm, but they are open to changing. Gutes is by no means a failure yet, but I stand by my assessment that his moves haven't inspired. Everyone he made big plays for has underwhelmed me so far. His "boring ted" moves have been his best. Yes, the bottom of the roster has improved, but that is secondary to hitting on the guys you give up capital for be it picks or dollars.

I would completely agree; one or two times in the past we've been brash/abrasive in here. It's not worth it.

Life is too short

I'm just going to have fun. While I wanted no part of Gary and would have rather had that hippy prick OLB from Michigan, I hope to hell I'm wrong and he turns into the next LT.

My expectations are not that high this year. I'm expecting a 8-8 season and no playoffs.

Hoping we take a stellar jump next year or the year after.

I'm 52 and that's what I'm doing. It can be done. Hey, if you can make better moves than an NFL GM without scouts and an entire film department, just think what you could do with all that at your fingertips.
