The AJ Dillon Appreciation Thread

[texaspackerbacker]

It's gonna be interesting to see whether or not Jones and/or Dillon do without the sacred cow at LT. I suppose a lot of people are predicting doom and gloom. I'm not.

[HarveyWallbangers]

are you at complete peace to let Jones go ? Silverstein took an interesting question on last chat and argued keeping Jones is more important that keeping Linsley and the Jones/Dillon combo would really be special

Yes, as long as we sign Williams.

I think either Dillon + Jones or Dillon + Williams is fine

[HarveyWallbangers]

Dillon is the truth

This really is good perspective.

I like Dillon/Williams more because of all the saved money.

I don't really care if we resign Williams; he's fine. But not a key piece IMO

I want him as a third down RB, if our starter is Dillon.

This is it, and cheap too so even better.

Rodgers said Williams is as steady as kuhn in that role. Big praise.

Kuhn was always beloved by Rodgers cause they were close friends. He played his roll well though.

But he was a minimal contract guy (that's still good money), And IMO Williams is better than Kuhn.

Are you thinking we get Williams for minimum wage for a vet ??

Williams base salary in 2020 is 2.1M. That's more than double the minimum for a vet. I would imagine it would take 2-3M to sign him.

LT is primarily a pass blocking position. Bak was a better run blocker than most LT, but whoever we put there now is likely to be just as good. Its Rodgers who has to adjust. I thought you understood football. This post makes me really wonder.

Im thinking like 3.5M. I do think he's better than kuhn because he can run routes and take screens a good distance on top of elite pass pro. Opens up options for 12. I'm gonna say Williams is the best 3rd down back Rodgers has played with and an unsung hero of our 3rd down offense.

[RashanGary]

Kuhn made between 1.5 and 3M per year in his prime years. Maybe Williams would be 3-4M during these prime years.

[George Cumby]

Ahem.

To me Dillon seems slow but you don't need to be fast when you're gigantic like him. He is a poor man's 2014 Eddie Lacy and I'm here for it. 2014 Eddie Lacy was such a beast.
