In studying your free-agency rundown article, it mainly tells me we re-signed six special-team gamers and misplaced 4 starters. It is not early within the free company cycle, so this scares me until we’re dedicated to rebuilding with rookies. Are my considerations legit?
Wealthy, as a superb pal of mine likes to say, “Lotta ball recreation left.”
In fact, mood expectations. Ouch. Why is that this a difficulty? No, let’s simply say we assure Jordan Love will likely be a Corridor of Famer, win one Tremendous Bowl, and have 4 MVPs. Why do folks like to take issues out of context or twist them? ugh. And I swear this isn’t (simply) years of Wes and Spoff rubbing off on me. I promise.
I am glad Matt LaFleur stated what he stated on Tuesday morning as a result of I really feel it is vital to recollect there’s a whole era of Packers followers who know nothing aside from Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. MVP quarterbacks should not inbuilt a day. Love will make errors. It is gonna take time to easy out the perimeters, however this man has the instruments and work ethic to get there. Success on this league is a product of continuous development. Class resumes April 17, with the opening part of the 2023 offseason program.
Vinny from VA, began an ideal dialog. Are you able to inform us extra about Jordan Love, the individual? What’s his household background, did he get a lot of faculty affords or a chip on his shoulder? What’s a singular story about him you need to inform?
Many terrific tales have been written on Love, however I will use this query to plug my draft profile on the 2020 first-round choose. There’s some nuggets in there on Love’s upbringing and the way he bought his begin with soccer. His shut pal, Krys Barnes, supplied in all probability my favourite quote in that story: “The challenges he is overcome, there isn’t any higher story than him proper now.” That is the reality.**
Do you assume Love is able to be a beginning quarterback within the NFL?
I do, and I am very a lot wanting ahead to it – and that is nothing towards Aaron Rodgers. He is among the very best gamers in NFL historical past and I loved documenting his profession for the previous 11 years. However Aaron Rodgers was already Aaron Rodgers once I began masking the staff full-time in 2012. He’d already received a Tremendous Bowl and an MVP. I am simply excited to see the start of this movie and watch it from begin to end.
Hello Wes, I hope you are having fun with the climate in AZ. It looks as if winter right here within the mountains won’t ever finish! My query: With Love being the starter at QB this upcoming season, how a lot can we count on to see him on the sector within the preseason?
No agency choices have been made but, in accordance with LaFleur. It seems like he is open to the concept of Love enjoying within the preseason, however we’ll must see the place issues are in a couple of months. It’s a lengthy, 17-game season.
Bingo Wes…you hit it on the pinnacle along with your response to Paul from Mount Nice. As anecdotal proof by way of the film enterprise (leisure for the plenty) again within the ’70s, the large factor to do was get in line generally days forward of time to get tickets for a blockbuster. Flash ahead to immediately and you purchase your ticket two months forward of time as quickly as they go on sale. We wish all the things now! Commerce Rogers? Now! Carly Simon stated it finest, “Anticipation. is making you wait!”
And the older I get, the extra I understand anticipation is as vital because the expertise itself. If I realized one factor the previous few days in Arizona, it is that each Inexperienced Bay and New York need to make this commerce occur. Deadlines could be the final facilitator, however the smoke is already billing.
Guys, is there any likelihood the Packers and Jets have already agreed to the Rodgers commerce, however is it not advantageous for both aspect to announce the commerce but?
No. That will be like purposely not submitting your taxes on time since you need to really feel sassy. If it is achieved, it is achieved.
Wes, for these of us who cannot inform a contract extension from an EKG, are you able to please clarify the professionals and cons for each the staff and for JL of exercising his fifth-year possibility?
The fifth-year possibility, which have to be exercised earlier than the participant’s fourth NFL season, is now totally assured for each damage and talent. It was beforehand solely assured for damage within the 2011 collective-bargaining settlement. There may be some threat concerned. A 12 months in the past, the New York Giants did not train the choice on Daniel Jones and finally shelled out $160 million over 4 years. It is a huge choice.
1. So, now I see there’s a “Tom from Grafton” along with myself. I believe this competitors will deliver out the perfect in each of us! Perhaps considered one of us will win consecutive MVP awards. 2. I simply need Woody to get impatient and provides in! Who’s with me? All of Packer Nation!
Hey now, you could be referred to as to defend your place in your hometown. Woody Johnson seems like a person who’s brimming with pleasure over the opportunity of buying Aaron Rodgers and I do not blame him. The Jets have been by way of fairly a bit the previous few years.
