Care to share where it is being reported that jahri Evans is retiring?

Not absolute, but apparently leaning that way...

Packers guard Jahri Evans mulling retirement

Quote

“I’m thinking about that,” Evans said. “I’m also thinking about how I played, and how my body feels. Mentally, I feel like I can play this game for as long as I want. It’s more the physical aspect of it.

“I’ll do a body evaluation, and see how I feel in a couple months.”

Reich is one of two head coaches that I've looked at in the past as alternatives to Ron Rivera.  Mike Zimmer was the other, and he's working out pretty well in Minnesota. 

Here's hoping Reich is successful too.  He's a good guy. When the Panthers were starting out, I hoped they'd take a look at him as their starting QB.  When they did, I was thrilled (still think he deserved a longer shot, but hey).

This offseason has convinced me to give Rivera another shot though.  Dumping Shula and Dorsey was a good move.  Letting Norv turner have the offense, also a good move.

Now get a competent personnel guy back in the GM chair and let's see where we can go from here.

#14 I agree he did a good job with us.   Too bad we didn't know how messed up in the head Collins would be. 

Not sure if it still stands but at one time he had a unique record.  The greatest comeback in NCAA and NFL.

I remember that game when he brought Maryland back to beat Miami.  (tells you my age lol)

As much as I hate to see him with Luck.  I wish him luck.

I watched the game where he led the Bills back against the Titans.  Loved it.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
