Packer sucked, but it was the only thing worth a crap at times and commercial breaks were offset some of my other channels.

Face it...he was HORRIBLE. He'd get on a schtick and run it into the ground. Varmint? Inside joke crap? Call-in personalities substituting content? The best parts of the show where when Mushin and Beason would actually talk shop. The college stupidity was over the top.

QCB is a waste. Whiner-line became more the "call-in personalities" line.

Move Rozinski there so we can hear some good Charlotte talk on that channel here in Raleigh in that time slot.

Packer will never have it as good as he did at WFNZ.

His shtick was tired but it got him listeners.

Packer's sports knowledge was nothing to brag about. His formula for success was to surround himself with imbecilic sycophants who'd laugh at everything he said and say stuff themselves that was so ignorant it made you shake your head. It made him look smart by comparison.

Likewise he'd take - and encourage - calls from listeners who'd fawn over him and then say something just as dumb or dumber than the stuff his inner circle of clowns was saying. All the while, he sat in the middle of it saying mostly nothing of any substance but acting like he was the smartest kid in the class.

Basically, he made himself the ringmaster in a circus of stupidity, all of which was designed to make him look smarter than he really was. On his own (alleged) talent, without his dad's name, I wonder if he's ever even have gotten a job in radio. The only thing he really has going for him is a good radio voice and better English skills than Frank and Buck.

I think Buck is very good, especially at baseball.

Packer was useless in every sense of the word.

Buck is very good, I agree. He does admit that he wouldn't be here if it weren't for his old man. I remember him saying that in an interview years back, that he is guilty of nepotism at its finest.

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
