BayRaider Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Green Bay has to be the new Super Bowl favorite. Amos, Za’Darius Smith, and Preston Smith? And two first rounders? Solid Green Bay FO. Ted Thompson could care less about winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say that objectively when the only athletic testing he beat smith at was the 3 cone, which I might call more agility than explosive http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/za'darius-smith?id=2552279 http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/pernell-mcphee?id=2495201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Ravens product who got a big pay day. Decent player worth half what he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could cut every player but Rodgers and sign all AAF players and you'd call them favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be factually correct that Smith ran a faster 40 time at the combine than McPhee did as a draft prospect. It's also a fact that, during their best years, McPhee was clearly a more explosive player on the field. No one who watched both players would say otherwise.

And I can vouge for the "less explosive, more durable" statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we are super bowl favorites but if stuff hits right with the new HC, Rodgers healthy and the defense improving with these additions, we could easily be SB favorites. That said, it could just as easily go the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it. Facts are he had one season that was good and got paid as if it was the norm. Very typical for ravens players, so much so that espn is saying the same thing *gasp* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very typical for ravens players, so much so that espn is saying the same thing *gasp* Players routinely get paid on future expectations. The expectations are high. He had very very good pressure numbers. Look, if it was any other team, I’d be skeptical so I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
