Not much of a middle ground in that sense. Oh, I know and it's a huge reason why I don't listen to sports radio. The call-ins are brutal. People think that because they were a cheesehead, they are a diehard. Yet, that couldn't be further from the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a middle ground in that sense. The casual fan is going to go by what they see right in front of them, and are going to take the "advice" of the talking heads. The die-hard is generally a bit more open-minded, but they're also a bit more gullible. The reality is somewhere in between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a middle ground in that sense. There aren't any casual fans that argue on the internet with their internet friends well into the night. A casual fan is like my dad. He does his best to watch the Packers when he can. He doesn't care about the draft. He called me this afternoon to ask who we drafted last night, and if the guy was any good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Pros: Pretty feet at size, vision, drive, massive quads, good dude? Cons: Mileage, passing game prowess, Limited speed, not afraid of contact but hes not a bruiser Does he see a 2nd contract? Is a rookie-contract-only a success for the 2nd round?

It was promising but we got like 2-3 years out of him. I feel like that's not worth a 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the frick do you take a 250pnd finesse runner in the 2nd round? It's like drafting Darrell Thompson all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks he can avoid contact he will but if it's coming he'll get dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just said it wasn't worth a discussion because the perception of value is subjective. That's all. I think he was worth the pick. Considering the hit/miss rate on draft picks, the fact that we got 2 really good years out of him and he made a positive impact on the field, means we got value out of the pick.

AJ Dillon wanted to make this clear about his 845 college carries: "I would echo this to everybody across the Packers Nation: I’m good to go, healthy as can be. I had a lot of carries, but that just shows I can handle the workload, I can be the workhorse." I think he'll be fine, If we are going by running back by committee he's not gonna be getting all the carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
