    I don’t think the percentages are in are favor.

    I’m starting to like some of these picks too. Dillon was a guy i wanted. Gute needs to go get another receiver.

    Is Paul Richardson still available anyone?
    I wouldn't bet against a mostly injury free season. That's the norm. Just about anybody other than the GOAT gets hurt, and we'd survive ok. And I don't expect all that many.

    According to Google, Paul Richardson is still a FA. It seems like our leaders don't see a need for speed, though.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    • I am almost certain the Packers will address WR before the season starts. They'll add at least one more FA, if not two.

        Is this a short story? Patriots offered a fourth round pick and the Packers a fifth.

        Better story is the fiction a guy in New England was making up.

        Great trade rumors of the 21st century.


        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        • Trading away the 4th round pick steep asking price for a top 5 receiver ALL TIME!!! You know who the Packers ended up taking with that 4th round pick, that was considered so valuable that Thompson couldn't part with? The answer is offensive lineman Allen Barbre. Hindsight is a real motherfucker

            I mean, when you look at the championship Moss delivered, its hard to argue with you.

            But this wasn't about Favre, Thompson wanted his own guys and didn't like spending extra. He wouldn't even up his offer for Beast Mode for Rodgers when he was the QB. Ted didn't like FA if he could avoid them.

              Wait, a TOP 5 QB OF ALL TIME for a TOP 5 RECEIVER OF ALL TIME? Good trade: Favre wouldn’t throw that INT in Moss’ direction in the NFCG and they could always bring back Brohm after Fave retired to run the show.

              • 2020 NFL Draft: Love-Packers, Dobbins-Ravens among top 10 fits


                1) Jordan Love, QB, Green Bay Packers
                Drafted No. 26 overall (Round 1)

                To the chagrin of many Packers fans, the team traded up to get their quarterback of the future at the end of the first round. The Utah State standout is a unique combination of A-plus arm talent, athleticism and improvisational skills that could make him a star in the league. While the skeptics point to his disappointing 2019 season (20:17 TD-to-INT ratio) as a major concern, Love posted a 32:6 TD:INT ratio as a sophomore in 2018, exhibiting patience, poise and discipline as a pocket passer surrounded by experienced playmakers and a creative play-caller. In Green Bay, Love will have at least a year or two to sit behind Aaron Rodgers and become the player that captivated scouts' imaginations prior to the 2019 college football season. If Packers coach Matt LaFleur can smooth out the rough patches in Love's game while helping the young playmaker retain the aggressive approach that conjured up loose comparisons to Patrick Mahomes, the Packers could extend their unprecedented run of extraordinary quarterback play into the 2030s.

                  I'm not going to try because "this season" isn't what it's about. this team isn't SB caliber and nothing they could have done was going to change it. this draft was about replacing guys they won't be able to keep going into 2021, and in Rodgers case it's about moving on from someone they're tired of dealing with. Gute told him not to be the problem but he couldn't help himself. he's pushed back from day 2 of the MLF era.

                    As I said about replacing M3, they will be lucky to get better. Careful what you wish for.

                      The guy has a nice rookie season going 13-3(mostly with smoke and mirrors)and all the sudden he is the next “Vince Lombardi”. Gute’s drafting is becoming very concerning and suspect to say the least. The cap is maxed and they are getting zero production out of some 1st round picks.

                      These guys might go down as the biggest failures and the most destructive in the history of the franchise. This whole thing is now riding on the development of Jordan Love.

                      This was completely unnecessary and rather reckless i might add. They don’t have near the leverage they are portraying.

                      • My hope is that TimBoil will be the backup QB this year and Jordan Love can stay safely tucked away on the non-active list every Sunday. Ideally, Rodgers would start for the Packers for the next two or even three years, and if the kid pans out, then off you go. At that point Rodgers could retire or request a trade.

                        But I have no idea if the kid will be good or not. He appears to have great physical tools. But does he have the vision to be an NFL QB, sensing the pressure and knowing when to stand in and when to go? I don't know. Can Matt The Flower develop an NFL QB? I don't know. I hope so.

                        • My sentiments exactly - except I would say 3, 4, or even 5 years, not just 2 or 3.

                            What a gigantic career defining bonk this could turn out to be if he can't. He'll either be Mike McCarthy or Mike Sherman at the end of this thing.

                              To be fair, Mike Sherman's GM never drafted him good enough talent to develop at QB.
