Let's Rationalize

Now that my blind fury has passed, and I was able to avoid most of whatever bullshit was coming out of that lying fucks' mouth. I though I would take a deep breath, and discuss the actual ramifications for your 2010 NFC North Division Champion Green Bay Packers.

I realize that a rational argument could also be made for the opposite of this, or that tomorrow he will cry and change his mind again, but I only have the mental capacity for this line of positive thinking.

This signing is going to fuck our friends to the west in the following ways:

1) Chilly isn't smart enough to utilize whatever is left in His tank, and obviously doesn't have the balls to stand up against Him, meaning He is going to do whatever the fuck he wants. Which is throw it all over the fucking place. The strength of the team is A-Peter, and Chilly was too dumb not to give him the ball 400 times last year. Imagine what he'll do now. Does anyone remember the Ray Rhodes era? How about the Mike Sherman era? Remember how well it went when we had a coach that didn't stand up to him? Anyone remember 2005 when Darrell Bevell was his QB Coach and he threw 29 interceptions in a 4-12 season?

2) It is going to take 5 to 10 carries per game away from A-Peter, which is fantastic for Queen opponents. This is regardless of what play is called, because you know that there will be a shitload of run to pass audibles.

3) Whatever they may gain in total yardage due to more passing, they will lose in more turnovers, and less third down conversions on a whole. The rationale: A-Peter is a virtual guarantee to get you 3 to 5 yards on every carry. While he does fumble, the chances of a running back fumbling are far less than a QB throwing a pick on third down. Also, the chances of a completion for a first down regardless of yardage is probably around 50 or 60%, which makes the chances of getting nothing 40 to 50%. The chances of a first down run on 3rd and 5 or less are probably a little higher, and the chances of getting nothing are lower. Of course, some of the passes will go to A-Peter, but ask Ryan Grant how many times he was hung out to dry on a last second flip pass, only to turn around and get decleated by a linebacker.

4) They still have zero WRs. Donald Driver, on the downside of his career, would still be the number one in Queenland.

5) The locker room is going to be destroyed.

6) Seriously, Chilly is an idiot.

7) I think you can pencil in He for 20 to 25 TD, and 15 to 20 INT. Traveiouereueos and Sage would've given you 15 to 20 TD and 10 to 15 picks. And an extra 150 touches for A-Peter, arguably the best player in the league.

And if all of the above doesn't come true, well, then I'm going to start filling bags of urine right now, in the hopes of giving one to each and every fan at Lambeau on November 1, to do what they please.

Why are the Packers being pricks to Ryan Grant?

It turns out there is another very important player on the Packers who is having a contract issue. Ryan Grant, who stormed his way into the ESPN Fantasy Football Hall of Fame with him performance last season, is still unsigned. If he doesn't report, the Pack will go with Brandon Jackson, who has started ZERO games in his career. Word on the street is that McCarthy has been walking around at half mast over how Jackson has looked lately, so it doesn't appear that the Pack is willing to budge a whole lot on Grant. The situation is sort of bizarre though. Grant started 8 games last season, and in his career. But he was really, really good in most of those. He is 25 years old. But again, he came out of the blue, and has only really played a half season. He is a "restricted rights" free agent, meaning he plays for the Packers or nobody, and the only leverage he has is to not sign at all and not play, and make no money. Arguably, he has no leverage at all. Especially since the Pack seems happy with Brandon Jackson. Another problem he has is that Favre is overshadowing everything, every is sort of ignoring Grant, so there isn't much outward pressure on the Pack to do anything. Grant is seeking 6 yr/40mil, with incentive based bonuses (including apparently $10mil if he runs for 2000 yds). Personally, that doesn't seem overly ridiculous, and if he runs for 2000 yds (which has been done like 4 times ever) then he is probably worth the 10mil. BUT, the position of RB is not one that teams should overpay for unless that player is irreplaceable, because they can quickly become replaceable (see Shaun Alexander). Right now I would argue that only LDT and A Peter would be worth long term investments. The rest are a tweaked ankle away from losing a step, which in the NFL means you fucking suck. Every year there are two or three guys that come out of the blue when the big time starter gets hurt, and run for a shitload of yards. Those players either become the starter themselves, or fade into oblivion. (see Ryan Grant, Ernest Graham, Ahmad Bradshaw, Justin Fargas, Dorsey Levens, Ahman Green, Edgar Bennett, Terdell Middleton, etc.). Of course the NFL isn't like baseball where everything is guaranteed, so they could just cut his ass after two years if he sucks, but they would lose out on the bonuses they gave up, which I assume would be sizable. I think the Pack should be fair, but not overpay. Right now, I according to Grant they aren't being fair. I think they will be fine without him. Alot of times the RB isn't as important as the O-line (Shaun Alexander, Larry Johnson). But whatever the Pack is offering is alot more than Grant could make by taking his degree from Notre Dame and being a bank teller. I'm just sayin'.
