Its a letterkenny quote. Its a fairly obscure reference already, so if you change it more you run the risk of missing the landing altogether. Its a fine line us show quoters run.

Oh **** I didn't even get it. I have not seen enough of that. I can't even stop laughing long enough, I rewind like every bit

Gary was bad last year, I was right about that. Gary is playing well this year, I never said it wasn't going to happen.

I saw guys on reddit bitching today about how you can't listen to draft experts because they called him a project. Ummmm

He still is. That's hardly a knock on about any ******* prospect. GB reddit is so trash. They're going off about MM today, of all things

It's really cool to come to a thread and have some fun, even it is making fun of ourselves.

#2-0 problems

 

I'm sad they scored those points early instead of late. It's the same ******* thing but we only freak out when they happen late. Memories of mosquitoes

i remember when we drafted gary and @beekay414 had a temper tantrum and i was all like you just gotta calm down and have some faith in the packers brass they know what they're doing 

You could do that in every thread and you'd be right 10% of the time!

i remember when @palmy50 still posted here and you had a big ol' crush on him

Remember when he had to leave because some nerd wanted to make 5000 dollars a year to live in his mom's basement working as a Twitter expert reporter dbag loser

I don't come here much since @palmy50 left

Only reason I started..I still know he was dumb now though because I swear he left me name in a list of posters he wanted to keep in touch with..all credibility was lost after that. Also I'm puggering the **** out of this thread. Is pugger not around anymore

Forgot to @Outpost31 and @MrBobGray for the above

Real talk, does Mike Pettine have some kind of weird Shallow Hal thing going on with Preston, where he sees like a 6'1", 220 lb coverage LB when he looks at him?  Because it's the only thing that makes sense to me at this point.  It seems like he puts him on the field exclusively to make the offense respect another rusher, then just shrugs and says "put 'em wherever, just make sure it's in space!  You know he can't handle too much contact with his sickly, frail body!"

I thought it would get better in 2020, not that he would double down and drop him even more.  

[MrBobGray]

Also, it's fun that the last four pages of this thread are just nonsense, because there's not a lot to talk about with "Yup, sure is playing well this year."  Like, I'm trying to think of something nominally on-topic to bring up, just because, and I can't.  

[beekay414]

I mean, I don't think anyone would say he wasn't/isn't a project. It was to be expected when his collegiate coaching staff completely neutralized his skillset and had him put two hands in the dirt and eat blockers. Had he gone elsewhere, he wouldn't have made it to #12. The only pass rusher in the 2019 class with more upside is Nick Bosa. Gary's natural tools are flat out not teachable. He'll go as far as he wants. If he's got dog in him, he'll be an all-pro at some point in his career. He's that talented. This kid wasn't the #1 overall recruit in his HS class for no reason.

Its too damn good. I dont think any of the actors will be allowed to do anything else. That show just hits different.

No, he's really not.

P/Smith is an excellent versatile pro. He's sacrificing his game, like Clay did, for the betterment of the team. If he had Gary's responsibilities he'd be flashing, too.

Gary still has a lot of Baby Huey in him. His freakish physical ability is flashing now, as expected by everyone paying attention to his development. But, he's still very much an unfinished product. 

That’s what makes me excited for Gary’s future.

Almost like he want a cover guy but doesn’t want to give up the size against the run and Preston is the best in space amongst them.

Spot on... It's not a mystery if you look at the situation, like you did. When Ramsey is ready to play, he'll take over most of P/Smith's coverage snaps.

Exactly... Anyone that actually understood the situation knew the process. Then there were people/posters that had their agenda to hate the pick/ player, so they kept the hate going- how silly.
