Just once could Howie Roseman do this.  Could we get two guys from a draft that have immediate impact that helps the team win games.

 

 

It helps if the team has a bunch of holes that has no choice but fill with rookies. I'm not defending all his drafts but our top three picks this year would be doing that if not for the depth in front of them

Hey Seattle finally had a good draft for once.  Let's celebrate and use this instance to bash Howie.

Howie is such a bad GM.  This team is 6-0 but in no thanks to the awful GM and awful QB.

In 2001 ... New England.

You're comparing apples to suspension bridges.

Brady was inserted into the starting lineup because Drew Bledsoe suffered a concussion and collapsed lung; it was apparent he would be out of action for some time.  During his absence Brady claimed the starting QB job through sufficient performance on the field where, when Bledsoe was ready to return, Belichick and Charlie Weis decided Brady was the QB of the future.

Reich said that Ehlinger would be starting for the rest of the season regardless of whether Ryan had gotten injured or not.

Can't wait for some obscure ruling or random event to occur in Ehlinger's favor and watch the entire world liken it to the Tuck Rule.

We get Nantz and Romo this Sunday.

Don't forget when making these mock trades this is what our picks look like in the upcoming draft

I think we have a 6 and a 7 rather than two 7s. There was that trade of that DB we got from Seattle for JJAW, which I believe was a 6 for 7.

GB is such a mess.

You are thinking about the 2024 draft.

Tennessee → Philadelphia (PD). Tennessee traded a sixth-round selection to Philadelphia in exchange for defensive back Ugo Amadi and a seventh-round selection.

Most of their mental errors are coming from their WRs. And Allen Lazard just got hurt in that game so it’s going to be even less experienced players getting reps. I said this at the start of the season the packers went 2020 eagles WR route making their roster and they are seeing the repercussions of it. Cobb is an aging vet who can’t stay healthy= alshon. Sammy Watkins is an aging vet who can’t stay healthy= desean. Lazard= Greg ward (Lazard is better but one reliable WR who had some experience). Watson = reagor. Doubs = Watkins/Hightower.

The other issue affecting them is because their wide receivers can’t get separation and play consistently or run good routes teams are able to gear up to stop the run unlike in years past. It’s why Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon haven’t run as well this year outside of the first two games this year. Jones has rushed for under 3.0 yards per carry in 3 of the last 5 games. Aj dillion is averaging 3.9 yards per carry and 3 of the last 6 games he’s been 3.8 or under. I don’t care how good rodgers is, having bad WRs in todays nfl you are going to have struggles. 

 

All of their routes are like go routes

Ive never seen a team with a poor WR group run so many high wire plays.  Everything is a fade or a back shoulder, or requires perfect timing.  Its such a trash scheme IMO

Demanding draft picks for a player not on your own team! Genius! 

Thought it was Nick Chubb.

Still same logic applies, Broncos aren't going to just give him away, he looks recovered from his injury, he's only 26 has 5.5 sacks so far this year a pro bowl a couple years ago.

Not sure what broncos would ask for but I'm sure they'll be plenty of willing partners, including Howie.

Denver must think it can turn its season-around with a win...

All true, but the question still exists ... what was the New England assessment of Brady prior to the insertion.  Was it any better than the Colts assessment of Ehlinger?

The Packers OL sucks and they have zero weapons. I honestly never thought their roster was all that impressive. Especially offensively. It was Rodgers and Adams for years now, but against good defenses in the playoffs their offense slowed. Lose Adams and it's goodnight. And without an exceptional schemer like an Andy Reid, they don't have the coaching to make chicken soup out of chicken crap. They need a WR at the deadline in the worst way, and that may be enough because they really have no TE either to speak of.

Bradley Chubb is my ultimate deadline acquisition. Had him circled as a free agent they could pursue. Young enough he can be part of your long-term core and won't cost as much as Burns.

Chubb could be Graham's replacement going forward as your book end. And then they could potentially say pivot away from Will Anderson if they aren't in his range in the draft if the Saints win a few more games, and let Cox go next year and re-invest in DT again like Jalen Carter. And have Davis and Carter in the middle of your DL for the next 5-10 years with Reddick and Chubb on the outside with Sweat.

I realize that now.  The post you responded to said "the Browns" so I went for the Nick info.  Since I have Utebird on Ignore, I didn't see the original reference to Bradley.  

My bad.  Will you ever forgive me?

Note to 4for4 the above comment was humor.

LOL Why would you put me on ignore???

Im not the one constantly calling you a pillar...

Have you had a stroke, I realize you can't see this but I'm guessing @4for4EaglesNest will comment...

Some of Green Bay’s offensive line problems stem from the fact the wide receivers can’t get separation consistently, so Rodgers has to hold onto the ball longer. Also teams knowing that have just decided we’re not gonna let you run on us either. So when you’re facing teams, they’re gearing to stopping the run and you’re not gonna get anything out that either until wide receivers start doing their jobs.

The biggest thing I’ve been saying for weeks now is that Green Bay should have went out signed Will Fuller and traded for someone like Brandin Cooks from the Texans. It makes your wide receiver core much better. Even if you only got four games out of will fuller it would open yourself up in the other games and maybe not lost to Washington or to the Jets. You’d be fine if Christian Watson could stay healthy and was consistent but he’s a rookie so that’s asking for a lot. Same thing with Romeo Doubs. if you move Allen Lazard into the slot and you have those two types of speed on the outside your offense is gonna look more dynamic and you’re probably gonna have better running lanes. But the Packers are sitting there expecting those guys to eventually become consistent and rodgers to save them in the mean time which has failed. 

I thought last year they should’ve traded Aaron Rodgers and got the kings ransom. which they could’ve gotten. After they lost to the 49ers I thought they should’ve traded Aaron Rodgers at that time because your roster was not going to get better given the situation you were in due to the salary cap, the players around him and Davante Adams leaving. At that point you still could’ve gotten a king ransom for him. when I saw the Packers off-season play out with Adams and the moves they made, i thought rodgers would ask out again at the end of this season cause that roster wasn’t good enough to beat teams that were already ahead of them. But now when he asked out at the end of this year, they aren’t gonna get close to what they could have the last two years. It’s better to get out a year early than a year too late.I also don’t think the Russell Wilson trade with how it’s worked out so far plays into their favor, trying to trade him at the end of this year.

I mean that's not that great of a haul.  It's really that he landed Wilson and Wagner.  Turbin and Irvin were pretty average players.  Irvin was a bad pick for where he was selected in the draft.  

Really liked Tariq woolen...
