Packers At Los Angeles Rams Discussion Thread

This Doubs situation doesn't sound good.

[Fritz]

This smacks of MEDIA IDIOCY/media bastards trying to stir up trouble - AGAIN. We'll see, but I'd just about bet that's the way it is.

Tex, whenever I read one of your rants this picture always pops into my mind:

[ThunderDan]

Not saying this is true, but if it is.

Doubs is an idiot. He still has 1 more year on his rookie contract. He has no leverage and no team will want to deal with someone who has this big of an attitude problem without having put up #1 WR numbers.

He ain’t no Diggs or Owens or Lamb.

The potential for upset is way higher than the gain of bringing him in.

[Joemailman]

He got 8 targets so it wasn’t that much difference. Maybe something to do with the interception that appeared tipped? He went all Brady and pounded his helmet. Don’t recall him getting like that before.

MLF hinted that Doubs may not have run his route exactly right on that play, resulting in Musgrave being directly in line with Doubs. That may be part of what's going on here.

Some things are bigger than football. We'll find out more eventually.

It seems nothing is bigger than personal stats.

[bobblehead]

Trade him.

Patler, this was my instant thought. I think it means we are both old (school).

Whatever it is - whatever - the idea that team officials actually went to his residence when he did not show up for practice and found him at his home (that's what I've read happened, anyway) is quite disturbing.

I am shocked by all this. I thought Doubs was the quiet, smart one who knew that he was Love's go-to guy in key situations, and that he was getting as much play as anyone, and that the number of targets shifts from guy to guy to guy in this offense.

Suddenly we find he's not showing up to practice and is at home sulking? Again, that's a media report, and I'm pretty sure that's not the whole story, by any stretch. Did he let MLF know he was unhappy beforehand? We don't know. Did he really, really just not show up for practice? We don't know.

But the whole thing is still disturbing. Not what this team needs as it tries to correct course from last week. Not the vibe of a Super Bowl-bound team by any stretch.

But it's

We finally get rid of the QB drama, and now we have WR drama.

Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our lives.

NFL rosters are big. You always have some drama. Move the malcontents and carry on.

I can understand not being happy with your opportunities. I cannot understand dealing with your feelings like this, assuming the reports are true.

This article from last January might shed some light on Doubs. Different guy. I can see where the Packers would have had no idea Doubs was unhappy with his role until he didn't show up. https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-real-...i-youve-got-to

Again, we get dribs and drabs and it's easy to draw conclusions but we have incomplete data.

It'll unfold slowly and we'll never see the all of it, but of course we hope they can all kumbaya and make it work. Get back to the focus of just playing as best you can every single time you're out there.

[sharpe1027]

That was a good read, Joe.

He's almost done with his rookie contract and setup for a monster payday. This decision has probably cost him millions of dollars on that future contract because it'll drive down his value.

[Patler]

Trade him.

Patler, this was my instant thought. I think it means we are both old (school).

Probably. I know I'm old everything, and have accepted that in today's world my opinions are often perceived as antiquated.

[sharpe1027]

The problem with trading him now is it's probably going to be the low point of his value. Get him back playing well and trade him in the office season.
