That is the biggest cop out that has evolved over the years. The bar needs to be set higher than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 16 hours ago, TransientTexan said: This myth needs to be put to rest. GB doesn't whiff in the 2nd any more than other teams. Fans just do not have realistic expectations for 2nd round picks. You could post a list of all second round picks and the people complaining about Josh Jones and Kevin King and Josh Jackson would pull the whole Simpson backing into a bush meme for an hour before coming right back out to complain again a little while later. This is my biggest pet peeve on this site. Lack of perspective. Cut Bulaga - No perspective on right tackles in the league and their cost/availability. Cut Graham - No perspective on tight ends (they see Kelce, Ertz and Gronkowski as the only three tight ends in the league). Jackson/Jones/King is a bust - Take a look at New England's second round picks over the past 10 years. I could go on and on and on with examples of a complete lack of perspective. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, that is where I'm at with Mitch, too. I haven't watched him enough to really know what his game can be. I've seen him be great and I've seen him look amazingly lost. I'll do our third this year. That gives us room to move on from Floyd if/when is cost prohibitive. He has to play like I saw when he played Seattle though. ...wait never mind he is a FA next year. Deal is off. Thought he was newer and had more years left. Maybe we will just sign him next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done. Now...don't check how old he is.... On your end, all you have to do is make sure he plays Seattle for 16 games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the losses you've taken on the roster, do you see 13 wins again? Or a harder fought 10-11 wins? I see the later, I think you do, too. Last year you had a new offense, now there's tape out on you. Is your QB good enough to overcome that? Because that is where I'm at with the Bears. Your progression relies on the QB. I didn't see much of Mitch, but it looked to me like if his first option wasn't there, he didn't know where to go with the ball. He likes to run. So did Rodgers and it does take it's toll. I tell you what. How about a friendly wager? Team with best finish by record/farthest into playoffs is winner. Winner gets to pick avatar for other for 2 weeks at conclusion of one or others season (whichever ends first) and has make at least 5 posts with it intact in their own forum. No hiding for 2 weeks. Nothing obscene or homosexual and no politicians or religious figures. Can be a Packers or Bears logo, homemade meme or just something silly and insulting in a funny way. You can't crop it weird either so people don't get it. Too bad there aren't signatures anymore, because that would work better.

The Packers likely add 3 top 50 picks and the Bears first pick is in the 3rd round?
