Remember we all hear different things and different hype on the same players and have different opinion on the players. So in your opinion who's the most overrated and underrated Packers?

For underrated I have to say Pickett. The man just gets so little credit yet usually does a very good job. The 3-4 all starts from the NT and he opens upthe DEs and the DL opens up the LBers. He just comes in and does his job very well day after day after day.

Overrated is harder at least for me. Sadly I think you have to put Clifton, Jennings and Kampman as runners for this at least for this year. ... I'm not sure who to pick.... and don't want to pick one so I'm gonna pass for now.....

Overrated -
Clifton (easy)
Jordy Nelson (it bothers me seeing him get more playing time than James Jones)
Al Harris (the guy just isn't the same player he used to be)

Underrated -
James Jones (needs more opportunities)
Brandon Jackson (he was great last year when he got to play, and got absolutely no credit for it. This year they haven't even given him the chance he deserves)

Overrated- Ryan Grant/Nick Barnett. Even though I like Ryan Grant. that doesn't mean i think he is as good as other people.

Underrated- Nick Collins. I know ppl know he is good. But I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Just cuz you don't hear his name alot doesnt mean he doesnt do his job!

Underrated. Cullen Jenkins. By far, imo

Overrated. I'm eliminating Cliffy, only because he is getting NO LOVE from the folks that I happen to listen to most. They are right.

Colledge.

There are not enough people on the Colledge sucks bandwagon for my personal taste. His breakdowns at some of the most inopportune times make him DANGEROUSLY overrated, because the SOB flashes enough to fool everyone into thinking that he does not suck. He sucks. Sorry.

Not nice on my part, but that is how I honestly feel.

The fact that Bush is even on this football team puts him in contention for overrated by (at least) the Green Bay Packers. They have GOT to be in the minority to an almost bizarre degree.

Under-rated: Pickett. Jenkins. Woodson (by non-Packer fans). Jones.
Over-rated: Colledge, Spitz, Jolly, Nelson. Bush (by Packer management).

I chose to only list clifton because if i went any farther than that the entire offensive line would have been on there.

Good call on the bush thing, him just being on the team proves hes overrated.

And i think cullen jenkins is underrated by the nfl, but anyone who knows the packers loves the guy.

As far as my own values...

I have over valued Crosby a bit to much.. my expectations for him from 50 yards out were higher than his current worth. Big leg.. but accuracy on long field goals and his inability to get touch backs on kickoffs.

I undervalue Barnett because he isn't my type of physical inside linebacker.. physical as in the point of attack.. like his range and flexibility, but general devalue him because he can easily get buried by a block.

Honestly I'm not sure he's trying to get touch backs... I think on kickoffs he might be trying to get hang time to give the coverage unit a chance to get down there and try to get the return stopped inside the 20...

I don't have any thing to back that theory up with and don't like the idea... but I think the ST coach might be trying it.....

( P.S. I've done it in video games if I have a strong legged kicker but think it's a bad idea in real life )

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
