Don Gregory Says Matt Kalil Is Better Than Ryan

Found in a draft profile in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel online:

http://m.jsonline.com/sports/packers/draftcaps20-vn4vq5d-148210085.html

"He's better than his brother," said Don Gregory, the Panthers' director of college scouting. "He's bigger, faster, stronger than his brother. He's so athletic. He will be a 10-year pro and protect your (expletive) out at left tackle."

He may (or may not) be right, but still...

I don't really expect Ryan to be majorly offended or anything, but this is the kind of thing that's a little surprising to hear from someone associated with the team.

Maybe this illustrates why scouts usually make their comments anonymously.

I don't think that is any kind of surprise or bold statement is it?

Matt is considered the best LT prospect in a number of years.

I don't think its weird either.

He is suppose to be an Elite LT.

Sooooooo why would he even say that.

Its like saying, Ronde Barber is a better CB than Tiki is a RB. Who the freak cares about comparing when they dont play the same position.

Seeing that quote out of context is the issue I think. I'd guess he is saying that as good as Ryan is, Matt could be better relative to their respective positions.

I'm sure the quote was a response to a specific question about the two.

Im still hopin that the rumors of MIN & STL wanting somebody different come true. I know its an extremely long shot, the odds are very low, but Im watchin the draft hopin he falls to 9 so I can cuss up a storm when we dont take him...I know it aint going to happen, but whats the point if I cant hope in all this bullshit pre-draft speculatin?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
