Gettis on the PUP list

I just feel like we are not at full strength on the offense without this guy. LaFell is decent, but he is not a true number 2.

I don't get the love-affair with Gettis. I hope the dude makes it back, and all of his fans are correct. I would love for him to return and be a force. But, thus far, I've seen nothing that would guarantee this happens.

I didn't see anything spectacular. Did he make good plays? Yes. Did he make plays that said he should be a starter? No, not really. LaFell would definitely be a number three receiver on a lot of teams around the league.

You must have missed the one or two clutch catches every week near the end of each game. Not to mention the good catches throughout each game. He is legit, I don't understand the doubts people have.

I am not sure we can really gauge the years LaFell and Gettis had with Clausen. I didn't think either was clearly better than each other. I personally liked Gettis better that year.

But all that matters is LaFell is on the field. LaFell might not be as explosive as Gettis (and that gap may have closed because of Gettis's nagging injuries) but he is better all around WR. He, like Murphy, likes to block when his number isn't called.

I am just worried this has more to do than just his hamstring. I don't know why you'd be on the PUP list just for a hamstring. He continues to say it has nothing to do with the ACL but I am sure it does.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
