ok, had to get a round of golf in while the weather was decent-

   just because, the stands are full, they've been entertaining, the stadium has been renovated, new player hall of fame, restaurants, improved fan experience, we have been to 3 super bowls over the past 26 years coupled with additional playoff appearances with varying amounts of success or failure... etc etc does not tell near the whole story.  i could go on and on about all the good things the packers have provided, including that they've kept the team in green bay, whatever...

  with the quarterbacks they've had plus an array of other talent, the packer organization failed its fans immensely.  when you have 2 hall of fame quarterbacks for over 20 years, one expects a little bit more and rightly so.  whether it was the gm or the president, i don't care who's fault, but getting the final piece or two or three to get to the super bowl a few more times should have been priority #1.  your average fantasy player probably could have done better

   

Fans are idiots

No. The Packer organization hasn’t “failed immensely.”  That’s silly talk. 

Has it underperformed? Sure. But failed? Nope.

Like the 2nd road picks . Two TE a WR and an Alabama safety

How could they find a TE in the 2nd round?

Also, they didn’t draft an Alabama safety.

Fans are idiots stands

A TE named “Tucker Kraft” was bound to be a Packer draft pick.

Packers drafted a lot of solid prospects . Was happy to see the volume of Tight Ends and receivers . A speculative attempt to address a need at kicker was also made.

Packers drafted a lot of solid prospects . Was happy to see the volume of Tight Ends and receivers . Also picking up a strong legged kicker helps.

From NFL.com on Carlson:

Overview

Carlson has made kicks in big moments and appeared to be tracking in a good direction back in 2020. However, he has struggled to establish consistency on mid-range kicks and has been poor on kicks from 50 yards and beyond. He’s had too many kicks blocked during his career and doesn’t sport a booming leg on kickoffs.

Strengths

Brother is an NFL kicker.

Possesses good size and has made kicks in high-pressure situations.

Was 4 of 4 from 40-plus yards in dramatic 2019 Iron Bowl win over Alabama.

Weaknesses

Career make rate of just 71.8 percent.

Struggled to find consistent kickoff depth in 2022.

Made just 5 of 17 field goals from 50-plus yards, going 0 for 4 since 2021.

Highly inconsistent on mid-range kicks.

Slow operation time leads to blocked kicks.


So where do you gather “strong leg” from that

Maybe he finds something with the Packers but he hasn’t been good in 3 years and certainly doesn’t have a “strong leg”

Kind of interested to see how Sean Clifford pans out in Packers Training Camp. Seems like a kid who plays with a lot of heart, decent athleticism . Obviously lacking the arm strength. Sean is a 5th round pick so very likely makes the roster in some way.

I think a lot of these Packers 7th round picks, are guys they wanted to sign as undrafted free agents. Got out in front of other teams by drafting them.
