@zachjacobson Begs the question: is it the draft part or the develop part?

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@JoeyRoger0 @Upton_4 @thatonedaveguy @AndyHermanNFL I hear you. Maybe I’m coping. The only way the savings matter is if Gute isn’t done spending. Let’s see if he keeps cooking before we use numbers as rationale. I think this is what MLF always wanted. Look at how much he employed AJ on early-down work. He wants a workhorse RB.

@micah_hyde your number’s available 😏

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@JoeyRoger0 @Upton_4 @thatonedaveguy @AndyHermanNFL I get where you’re going with this, and it crossed my mind too. But, ideally, these are necessary, post-Rodgers moves that put us in the clear with the youth overhaul…far as the necessity for restructures. Tbd if Love’s new deal handcuffs the team for the future

@joshkezer @NFLonCBS So he’s perfect for Chicago

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@JasonInWI @NotionsOfJacob I actually think that’s on Jones, not Josiah. If Jones didn’t go flat once he hit the second level, and tailed Deguara, he might’ve been gone

@KurtBenkert Kurt, always appreciate your input here, explaining the intangibles to we simple folks. It’s been a strange year of QB play, from the outside looking in. What do you contribute this to?

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@KurtBenkert Oof. Being wrong, giving Barry another shot is one thing…But to double-down, defending his constant shortfalls is strange from a guy who constantly preaches “execution/we have to do a better job of putting these guys in the right position” blah blah blah

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@IKE_Packers This is what happens when you live and die by a “draft and develop” strategy. You have to hit on one of them, and frankly, this staff/FO can’t do either

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@jazzduo77 @Da_TruthEnt No, absolutely. And in a three-step, working right to left, it’s a quick decision. He was probably looking to check down and saw Milano go flat. Not as easy as this pic makes it look, for sure.

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@Da_TruthEnt We can blame Brown all day, but the unfortunate truth is this looks a lot like last season where Rodgers just wasn’t seeing the field. That ball has to be out.

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@TheBearFX might be the best damn thing out there rn. I’ve never had so much fun while also needing a Prozac. What a beautiful tragedy.

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@nigerianspy93 @JeremyT429 @NFL_DovKleiman @mlombardiNFL Don’t think we’re on the same page here. Letting players go who aren’t happy (or aren’t contributing according to their 1st talent) isn’t quite the same here.

This leverage…where is it coming from?

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@nigerianspy93 @JeremyT429 @NFL_DovKleiman @mlombardiNFL For sure! All of those QB’s you just named have made a Super Bowl, though, except Rivers. By the time he had any input, he was past his prime. It’s unfortunate, but teams like BAL and GB have a draft and develop culture…they don’t usually budge on demands

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@nigerianspy93 @JeremyT429 @NFL_DovKleiman @mlombardiNFL No…he’s not…which is why he’s playing on the tag. I love Lamar, but that MVP season is getting further and further away. He 100% needs help, and I’m glad he’s vocal about it but “every QB” isn’t afforded the luxury of having a FO who welcomes that input: Rodgers, Stafford, Ryan

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@KennyHoopla If only you were opening for them on this tour

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@Peter_Bukowski Peter, the problem is the draft strategy & the money strategy didn’t align. He spent like someone who knew the window was closing, but drafted like he didn’t buy into his own plan. A team a piece or two away doesn’t go QB in R1, and they sure as hell don’t move up to do it

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@ZachGelb @CBSSportsRadio Okay, so this says two things: either Gute hired a coach who’s a wet noodle and would actually LET this happen. Or…the HC who knows AR as well as anyone, isn’t dense enough for this to happen “multiple times”

[Chris Gehrke @iSeeSigns_08]

@UndertheTotal @SharpFootball All this says is that the Cowboys lean more heavily into their draft classes. It doesn’t equate to winning
