You get 2 million dollars for one year or 5 over two. Who is your vet? Is he contributing or just playing den mother? Heh heh, our cap is so tight, I'm not even sure that burning $2 in cap or $5/2 in cap for den mother is even possible? Yeah, Jones would be nice for all of those roles. He might be good enough to steal some snaps, which might or might not be desirable. Randall Cobb might be an option? He knows MLF and the system, and is all class. So he might be an excellent den mother? Younger than Jones, and still a capable player if you'd prefer giving snaps to the den mother than to younger prospects. Maybe if you want a cheaper den mother, and maybe one who wouldn't steal many snaps from younger guys if you don't want that, how about Kumerow? :):):). Experienced vet, has been in lots of camps so familiar with learning new playbooks and stuff; familiar with MLF and the system; willing blocker, could be a good den mother for that?

Year-one cap hit under $2m easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always like Marvin's game. Would be a nice stop gap if we go that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our two real DL's are Clark and Wyatt. I mean, did I miss something and Slayton and Ford are somehow gone from us? I really can't remember. Sure we can draft another one when value meets the pick, but that shouldn't be a terrible 5 to start with. Slaton is more than a JAG though, just IMO. Think Barry's DL usage/scheme left him on the sidelines more often than they should have. Love the guy's first step and size/explosiveness mix. Still learning the pro game but he was looking better as the year went on. Probably would have seen more reps but Reed started finding his stride at the same time and is a lot more seasoned, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Receiving room is rough no doubt though. Don't think it's necessarily that the cupboard is bare, but that it's so insanely raw and untested. Personally I think all three of Watson, Doubs and Toure have legitimate potential in the league. Potential is just that though until it's realized and it's never a guarantee that'll happen. Wish they had a legit WR1 to carry the load as they grow, but maybe being thrown into the fire with Love will be what they need? Watson is such an athlete that he can produce regardless though. And I'm probably the only person still fully on the Deguara train; wouldn't be shocked if he put up 800+ receiving next season with Love if he stays healthy. He gets open really consistently and he's precise in his route tree in a way a young QB can really lean on. Rodgers refusing to throw to TEs really skews the ability to determine their value, but I'm putting it out here officially that I see him exploding next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like I should find a futures over/under for Deguara, try to buy higher odds for more yards and put a few coins on it 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you are not alone on the Deguara train, but sometimes it just isn't worth fighting the group think narratives that run out of control here. Like the bashing of Lowry now as he is heading out of town. Not worth the brain damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackFan13 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) 800 yards would be top 3 in the league for TE's the last 4+ years. I find that really hard to believe for Deguara. Please Gute, draft a stud early to be the starter. Edited March 18, 2023 by PackFan13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw him in person I would thank him. On a forum focused on the future of football discussing his actual ability, we can state the obvious. Nobody's feelings will be hurt.

I definitely think he'll see an uptick in opportunity and he's besties with Love so that won't hurt. Do you think they'll use him more on the LOS as a Y though versus his H-back type role he's kind of fell into the last two years with Tonyan around? That would be my only reservation in thinking his numbers are going to blow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise As a yearly TC attendee for the last decade, for some odd reason Lowry was kind of an ***. Not sure why but the guy literally never interacted with fans, never signed autos (even for kids), etc. Has nothing to do with his play but I always found it interesting that he acted that way, especially when he's not a superstar player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
