Skunked at least you get it.

BTW what was with all the fights at practice? Gotta love the intensity!

JosMN, there is an NFL scouting position open at at least 1 of the 32 teams in the NFL. You appear quite knowledgeable at scouting. After all for every cam newton there were 10 brady quin, jamarcus russell, etc etc etc.

I guess you cannot rewrite history, but to think Ponder wouldnt have benefitted by sitting behind someone like Favre (like Rodgers did) for 3 years is assinine at best.

Sure, he may have picked up a thing or two, but to believe that would have been the difference in Ponder becoming the Vikings' franchise QB or not is pure speculation on your part.

The theory of "sitting behind a veteran QB" has become a overused excuse by Vikings rubes due to the team's inability to draft a quality QB and living on the has-been QB waiver wire. I mean, how long has this team been developing their "QB of the future" now? LOL.

Your argument of drafting a franchise qb holds no water since favre wasn't drafted by GB. Its not easy to draft one. Especially with top pics as they've proved to be a waste by the numbers. There are probably 26 of the 32 teams who have never drafted a franchise qb. That isn't necessarily an issue if the pluck them from elsewhere is Steve young.

All I know is this....Ponder should not be used in any type of what if, what that, sitting behind someone for three years. Blah blah blah. He is not a franchise QB like manning, rodgers, Brady, etc. Just think of the numbers Rodgers would have if he wasn't on his back half the time? He will be cut or benched after this season. Heck, he is a Brady quin, you all are just still "trying" to develop him. There's my recruitment knowledge for ya.

Like I said, there is at least ONE scouting position open for you. Question, how many "franchise" qb's are in the NFL today? How many of those were drafted by who they are currently with? OK that's two but that should keep you busy. Can you get past 3 for the second question? Lol

Rumor is the Hall of Fame is under budget this year so they are carving out the bust of Tim Tebow now instead of waiting for his induction year, figuring that his time "sitting behind a veteran QB" like Tom Brady makes him an automatic first year lock to get in.

BTW, who did Favre get his FB knowledge from? The Magic Man?

ROFL.

Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Andy Dalton, Andrew Luck, RG3, Russel Wilson, Matt Staford, Sam Bradford, Joe Flacco, Cam Newton......does Eli Manning count? LMAO. Peyton was on the colts for like 65 years...does he count too?

Well there's a few for ya...I'm done.

Half of those are unproven with only one or two seasons under their belt. BOOM? More like a pop from a cap gun. The funniest part is you ask if eli counts when he has won two superbowls and a SB MVP yet you include Bradford, Stafford who haven't done squat.

Even more funny is you ask me why I was asking if Eli counted, because he wasn't "drafted" by the Giants...

Havent done squat? They are their teams franchise QB. Thats what you were asking. Two seasons or not, none of those guys are on the hot seat like Ponder.

Fact of the matter is I answered your question, with like 10 or more guys and you wanted 3......so?

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM........BOOOOOOM.

Now back to talking about our team in this thread, the PACKERS. Go away with your ridiculous coments and pm me with your Paul Allen superbowl thoughts.

Skunked, you're right, Bakhtari is looking awesome so far at LT. Kinda makes me feel at ease a bit more....we will see I guess.

I will definately be heading over to that HSOforum on game days. I can sometimes suck them in from Faribault, but usually its very hard to hear.

So great they only got ripped for how many yards to the out side last year????????? Are those the guys you are talking about????

Yes you are right why would any negative's come out of the packer camp on this kid??? Arm length not much more than Reilly's the Lions left tackle, weight even less. Fourth round pick. Sounds like a stretch to me. But to each his own!!!!!!

I would say yes. He might have the record or be tied for the best record for NFC championship games wins at Lambeau. We are talking NFC championships. Not pre 1969 nfl championships.

Heck all four teams in the NFC north have one of those.

County line said it first this guy going to be a hall of famer because of his short arms!!!!!

Maybe only time will tell. All the new mobile tackles seem to have short arms. Hey 5/8" might mean a lot to a chick. But to Jerad Allen and the rest of the like it dont mean squat. If someone thinks it does well???????? Time to open the closet door I quess.

I have been a packer fan my whole life I hail from eastern wisco and I prefer a Wisconsin 6 pack for dinner. For those of you not familiar with that its a brat and 5 beers. I prefer packer brats from Dick's market in river falls and old mil heavies. I am a Minnesotan now by career not by choice my friend.

Matt Flynn started a a game the season of the second Super Bowl championship. Einstein would not be very happy of you drawing a conclusion upon false data!!!!

Not to mention when he started against the lions the last game of the season and set franchise records for passing yards in a game(480) and td passes(6). Got anymore brain busters?

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
