Seth Roberts, a fresh cut from CAR.

Yup that will shut Brandon up.

This is absolutely what I did not have in mind. Another bum on his way out of the league.Comment

Bum? Why do you say that? Undrafted guy who has hung on for 5+ seasons on regular rosters after a first season on a practice squad. Had missed just two games in 5 years. 183 career receptions. Looks like a battler to me, with a lot of experience.Originally posted by GB-Brandon View PostComment

For being in the league so long, I don't know much about him. I see he ran a 4.44 40 at his Pro Day and has good agility scores, but average scores in explosiveness. Can he run jet motion? The Packers don't have a replacement for Tyler Ervin."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 ThompsonComment

I have to go with Brandon on this one. The guy probably is a bum on the way out of the league - those stats and scores being 5 or so years old and him being cut, presumably having to do with his ranking 169 out of 190 (or something like that) in one of those pass receiving analytics - this year. I doubt he is a step up from anything we have.
Speaking of jet sweeps, I wouldn't mind seeing MVS give that a try.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

He's nothing fantastic, but he's probably a step up from Darrius Sheppard.Comment

If he can catch the ball on a 10 and out im happy.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.Comment

He has played in every game for Carolina this season and his 53.4 PFF rating will fit right in with our collection of mediocrity at the position. Carolina is in contention for the playoffs and let him go so that should also tell us something.Originally posted by Patler View Post
“The biggest issue with Seth Roberts is that he just isn’t a special football player. He doesn’t read defenses, he’s not a consistent route runner, and sometimes he just forgets to look for the ball.” Per AFC Scout
He will fit right in. Way to go Gute!!! I’m gonna go do Kartwheels in front of Lambeau!Last edited by GB-Brandon; 10-27-2020, 09:08 AM.Comment

Meanwhile the Ravens signed Dez Bryant.
Gute is such a Loser!Comment

There comes a time when a guy has been in the league so long that those things just don’t carry much weight anymore. Kind of like you explained with John Ross. He had 4 catches this year on a Carolina team that he was apparently active for all games. Honestly, as much as I’m down on MVS I’d rather just roll with him over Roberts.Originally posted by CaptainKickass View PostElite speed and 3 cone.
This signing is more of just adding a body more of anything.Comment

I agree. This feels like a "sign to the PS and kick the tires on him to see if he's a good fit". They've actually brought in a LOT of WRs, which is good. They are basically all no-names though. Roberts is more of a natural slot WR, MVS is a long striding outside WR. You'd be more likely to see Roberts on a jet sweep.This signing is more of just adding a body more of anything.
All the same, it's kind of a 'meh' transaction. He's got some modest production, but it wouldn't shock me if he's gone in a week, either.
Dez definitely has a history of production but the guy is on his last legs (if that), and he's not going to help you on ST. I'm ok with Gute not signing an aging, overvalued vet. He hasn't played in 2.5 years. Maybe they can sign ex-DAL WR Terrance Williams too. He produced almost as much in the 2017 season (and more efficiently) and is the same age.
The questions I have are when will Lazard be back, and how effective will he be? Pre-injury, I'd have taken the 25 y/o Lazard over signing a 31 y/o Bryant off the street (and the comparison isn't close).Comment

Personally, I think the use of the word "bum" makes the post legit. How often do you hear that word any more? It was a great word, sweeping in its condemnation without being vulgar.Originally posted by Patler View Post"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
