We are paying a bunch of people who aren't here, aren't playing, or not playing well. you mean the part about having a QB on a rookie contract vs a Veteran being paid top 5 QB money?

IMO fans have sorta forgotten that winning is hard, and replacing HOF is not as simple as drafting and sitting them. I say this all the time, almost all my other teams in other sports suck or have went through it lately. So I'm good. Still sucks. But I haven't given up at all. We're just young. Nobody likes that but that's a huge part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have had the money to get AJ then. I for one was calling to do just that. Not necessarily get AJ but trade AR a year earlier and break the bank on draft picks. However I don’t blame Gute for giving it another shot. Then there should be no pissin and moaning about what's going on with the Packers right now. Rodgers got his money .. Gute gave it a shot and failed .. Packers go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a QB on a rookie deal for years and we put him in bubble wrap for three years of that cheap deal. That's what made taking a QB in the first place a head scratcher. Not looking like a very good move for the organization at this point in time. All time GM screwup if Love busts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He held the Packers hostage wanting to always being the highest paid qb instead of wanting championships. Packers got hosed big time.

Right now the Packers are paying the piper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Looks like Watson avoided a serious injury. Always have to take player comments with a grain of salt, but said he expected to be good to go. https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/injuries/packers-wr-christian-watson-optimistic-after-knee-injury- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachbuns Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Looks like Eagles GM has just done it again. The traded for Titans 2 time all pro safety Kevin Byard giving up a safety Edmunds plus a 5th and 6th round draft choice. Their secondary was beat up and made this move to fortify it. Good gm's do what they have to do without hesitation. Some teams have it .. most teams don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a hunger there to win another championship and Howie is going for it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
