Oso planning to go pro
No one calling out AR for supporting Kaepernick. Must be a coincidence.http://packerswire.usatoday.com/2017/08/30/packers-qb-aaron-rodgers-supports-anthem-protests-colin-kaepernick/
No offense taken. Although he's Bears fan, Wilbon HATES Jay Cutler (he also hates Pace and Trubisky, FWIW). He's not exactly an unbiased source and perhaps he talked to 5 guys and considers that to be "a lot." Who knows? But like I said, it's not hard to find players who don't like a teammate. I'm sure Wilbon could also find "a lot" of teammates who don't like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady or you-name-him.
White guys can do what they want. Chris Long didn't get much flak for supporting Malcolm Jenkins raising his fist during the anthem.I had to laugh - mostly out of sadness - when, after Long showed his support of Jenkins, I heard an announcer commenting that maybe the protest was now legitimate because a white guy was standing up for the cause.

I'm sure Wilbon could also find "a lot" of teammates who don't like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady or you-name-him.Jermon Bushrod described Cutler as "a great teammate" and "a good lockerroom guy." Back-up QB David Fales said Cutler was "one of the more influential people in my career." Kyle Long and Zach Miller tweeted high praise for Cutler when he was released. Cam Meredith and OC Dowell Loggains both said that the perception of Jay being bad in the lockerroom is incorrect. Yes, I understand that it's also not hard to find players who DO like a teammate but those comments certainly don't fit the media narrative of Cutler being a bad lockerroom guy. Sidenote: If guys don't respect Cutler because he's an anti-vaxxers then that's completely legit
Wilbon is also the old guard of journalism who expects players to kiss the media's butt, so much like Tom Jackson whose entire criticism of Cutler's demeanor revolves around his demeanor in the hallway of Mile High one time, its not hard to imagine that. Wilbon used to be good, but now is a caricature of himself and is one of the most ardent "GET OFF MY LAWN YOUTHS" in the sports media world.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
So before cut-downs come out, here's my recommendation for TT. Keep Taysom Hill on your 53. You know the plan is to shop Hundley next off season. Hill slides seamlessly into #2 then. You can never have too many good players, especially at the most important position, and they're real hard to find. And if that means they go one short on the O-line or one of the rookie HBs heads to the PS, so be it. They're just replaceable 'guys'.
I agree with Wades.All we know about Hill is that he can run, he can hand off the ball, and he gets hurt a lot. Dime a dozen for guys like that.As for Hundley, hopefully some team sees something more than I do and he can fetch maybe a 3rd rounder. If AR goes down, we will just be the northern version of the Bears with a worse defense.
Every pre-season for 20 years Packers fans talk about the back up QBs that get playing time against vanilla, second team defenses in the pre-season. And the only two that have been worth a damn are Matt Hasselbeck and Aaron Rodgers.
You guys mean all those Packers backups that would have started for the Bears? I actually agree about Hundley. Unfortunately they spent the summer trying to showcase him for next year, with limited success. So you guys think they can sneak Hill on the PS? I don't.
Hill is also 27. The NFL isn't too favorable to old quarterbacks starting out at an advanced age (see: Brandon Weeden).
You guys mean all those Packers backups that would have started for the Bears?
So? For a couple of decades there, pretty much EVERY team's backups would have started for the Bears. And a lot of them did!
one more time-this was your quote-"people"? if you're going to criticize someone for "reading comprehension", it's best you make yourself a little more clear. how about a little heads up on who you're referring to as "people". welcome to my world. this is how i get scrutinizedkaepernick's protest really isn't a problem, it's HIS problem. he's got to deal with the consequences. whether or not they are right, wrong, fair or unfair. life ain't fair eyn'a so?the rest of your comments re: ray rice, josh brown and the long list of others who were never really punished (as far as we know), i cannot disagree with you
