And with an incredibly deep RB class in both FA & the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 I understand Russel Wilson isn't playing well this year, but the amount of personal hate he gets on twitter is pretty crazy. And from reporters. It's weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time to pick up Hunt was after he got in trouble in KC and signed for very little in Cleveland. We wouldn't have needed to trade up for Montgomery and he already knew Nagy's offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because he acted like a jackass to everyone he ever came across but because he was so good no one spoke out...now that he is bad everyone feels the right to take a pop shot.

"KC offered a 4th and philly offered a 2nd, but we play philly once this year, so we'll send him to KC"* *trade offers purely hypothetical to make a point This is a fair point and turns out I was off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to sign him to an extension without competing against the other teams. They’d only do this if they identified Hunt as the guy they want toting the rock going forward.

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 -A Drive Past Soldier Field As I sat in traffic watching the road grader tear up chunks of Lake Shore Drive (JPDLSD?) my phone rang. It was a friend from Wisconsin, we worked together well and it would be nice to hear from him. As I watched the nearly empty Monroe Harbor, we caught up and discussed a project, making sure it would be good for both of us and the client. As we started talking and our wives and kids, I couldn't resist. "Hey I haven't been keeping up. How's the Pack doing? Still winning everything?" There was a long pause as he sorted out his feelings; he decided to laugh. "Oh yeah, everything but the games!" We chuckled together and I decided not to press, it couldn't be nice to think about. He kept going though. "Me and D___ drove through Green Bay on Monday though, no joke, the flags in the yards, they're really at half mast!" It was hard to know if this was a joke as we both laughed, but thinking it through and picturing those little lawns by the field I thought it must be partly true. I decided to change the subject, he was a nice friend and never caused me problems, but he wasn't done. "Unbelievable how bad he's playing, spending all that time doing who knows what" and the rest was lost as I drove into the cell coverage dead zone by Monroe street. Trying to change the subject, feeling like I'd put my finger into a wound, I suggested we talk tomorrow when I wasn't driving, but he was going on. "It's time to see what we have in Jordan Love, maybe see.... trade.... get a couple first...." as the phone lost our words I could hear him getting more unsure of himself even as he outlined more and more unlikely scenarios. "I've been watching since the 70s, you don't know know what it's like to not have a quarterback, and we've done it right for so long!" It was my turn to pause and sort out feelings, I didn't know what to say. "Yeah, I'm sure Jordan Love will work great my man, just out of curiousity, have you watched him play?" The phone finally dropped it's call, or the prospect of Jordan Love starting rendered my friend speechless. I moved on, waiting for traffic on one of America's most famous roads to be more than one lane, and I pictured my friend, phone still in his hand, staring off into the distance and seeing nothing but interceptions and passes to the stands.

Him having a bad year makes it too easy for the media to dump on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bagging on Buffalo at all, but it would be mainly a football stadium. Its not a main Hub (Chicago, Atlanta, LA, Vegas, etc) that is banking on the litany of other major events that a domed stadium comes with. Does this bring a Super Bowl up there? Maybe?? Dont think that brings a Final Four there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has done next to nothing in the NFL I agree…it is a risk no doubt but I guess Andy Reid has made a living off 2nd chances…if he can show the speed he did at times at Florida and with the Jets he will be wild in that offence.

Yeah the days of Rodgers getting a huge trade return have likely passed. My guess is he retires after this season. A lot of fans have soured on him and that has to take a lot of fun out of it. Methinks he would be happier hosting Jeopardy and/or doing a podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
