ATL: Offseason

[PkrsBcksGphsMqt]

I've been a huge Justin Blackmon fan over the years, so it's disappointing to see him throw it all away. The few games he played last year he put up huge number and looked like a top 5 (if not better) WR.

Ray Rice with a 2 game suspension for beating his fiance unconscious on camera.

Seems like the NFL's concussion policy does not extend to player's significant others.

Wow, that is pretty damn light considering he was caught on camera dragging his unconscious fiance.

Greg Jennings and Erik Walden made Grantland's 'All-Bad Contracts Team.' There weren't any Packers on it, obviously.

Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck come in at #1 and #2 in Grantland's trade value article which takes into account a player's contract (among other things). Rodgers came in at #3 and Watt at #4.

I understand the general theme behind the decision to put Luck and Wilson ahead of Rodgers. But the biggest flaw in Barnwell's methodology is this: There is no way in hell I'd trade Rodgers for Wilson. None. The Packers would hang up on Seattle for even suggesting it. I don't think the Colts or Packers would trade Rodgers for Luck.

I think he's discounting the fact that Luck and Wilson probably get huge contracts within the year and then won't have that advantage anymore. Ostensibly you don't trade [for] a guy just for that next season.

I don't think he's discounting that, I think his methodology is just limited to that upcoming season.

But even if I could trade Rodgers for Wilson for one season, and then get Rodgers back the following season, I wouldn't do it.

Walden pulled the ol' Charlie Villanueva move

I watched many Vikings games last year and Jennings was open a lot, but the Vikings QBs either didn't see him or they missed him by a mile.

Jennings is a prime example of a good not great receiver who looks good while having an upper tier QB throwing to him in prime time regular season and playoff games, who then goes to a bad team lacking a quality QB.

Take a guy like Anquan Boldin. Put him on say Minnesota and/or Tennessee the last two years instead of the Ravens and 49ers with quality quarterbacks and lots of prime time games to show off his skills with tons of people watching, Boldin would have both seen his stats decline and also be out of the spotlight as few people were watching Vikings or Titans games.
