It would be great if this kid pans out.

At this time though, I am just enjoying watching my Chicago Bears fan friend squirm as he is a long-time Alabama Crimson Tide fan and has to listen to me talk about Eddie Lacy, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and now possibly, Adrian Hubbard.

He won't survive the second cut down day. Hold off buying your jersey.

Good. GB can use an upgrade in the LB group.

Tell you what uffs, read this Q&A from just before the draft, on April 19th and ask yourself if you are really being fair to the man...

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/4/19/5625936/2014-nfl-draft-adrian-hubbard-interview-alabama 

He sounds like a very focused, professional person, one who readily acknowledged the things he felt he needed to work on. Also, note his comments on Peppers, and imagine how excited he must be to be on the same team as him.

Here's what Hubbard had to say on your boy's comments:

The guy didn't get drafted and he blamed it on the teams not getting their papers about him? What? That doesn't pass the smell test to me that he didn't get drafted because teams didn't know he was cleared. How could that be...he has potential millions riding on them getting those papers and he's just going to let it ride that they did only to later claim they didn't? Nope.

I'm not saying he's a bad guy... I don't know him at all. I'm saying some things have been said about him that cause concern and I happen to believe the where there's smoke there's fire thing. I'm not aware of any of the draft picks or UDFA's having this said about them save for Hubbard.

Hungry for news about how these guys looks and what guys, if any, are signed from the tryouts they had. One of the best times of the year.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Saban not wanting him back can actually be a good thing.

Something doesn't add up. If the blurb from Walter is true, then it wasn't his heart condition. It either spoke to his production (which it likely couldn't because he was productive) or something else. "Something else" has the blanks filled in by what Nawrocki wrote about him. I'm saying it's logical. It's not logical that a guy had papers saying he was cleared on his heart but none of these teams knew it. The teams and him/his agent get one crack at this thing over a period of days...no way teams didn't know he was cleared as he claims. Now, whether they believed he wasn't a risk even with the paper is a fair question, but it makes sense that he's such a problem child that nobody wanted to bring him in to their locker room. Packers took risk, I assume, by doing their homework and understanding he's a Peppers fan.

What a deal... Packers end up with Peppers and this guy follows him to Green bay. He likely is in Chicago if Peppers is still there. How will that play out over the years. Signing Peppers could've netted us a dominant LB and pass rusher for years and years to come.

I'm fired up for the guy... I posted about him in the UDFA thread...I'm just worried about the mental part of him because the physical is special. Never seen a 6'6 LB in Green Bay.

You're throwing an assload of shit out there on this player and it is completely baseless and unwarranted. You are worried about what "mental part?"

Fucking bullshit.

Are you for real? Have you not read about this guy? Why didn't he get drafted? You're going with he had a heart condition but teams didn't know if he was really okay because they didn't get a "paper" as Hubbard claims?

What would you like me to produce? Nolan Nawrocki ripped the guy... Bama was said not to want him back (based on Walter blurb)...you figure it out. Just because he's a Packer doesn't mean he may not be a problem child. I hope he's not... As I said... enough smoke for me to believe there's a fire.

If it is Finley level of outspokenness I will have no problem with that.
Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance
Fan Shout
dfosterf (57m) : Just gotta figure out how.
dfosterf (58m) : Could have been a worse start, so there is that.
beast (1h) : Yeah, someone tell the Packers football season has started, seems like they weren't ready for it
Mucky Tundra (1h) : Sooooooo many penalties
Mucky Tundra (1h) : It may only be preseason, but this game is a trip to the dentist

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.
beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔
dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds
wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay
dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy
Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL
Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him
Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?
dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy
Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last
Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol
