So I came across the story about Nick Collins today former pro bowl FS for the Packers who going into his prime had the serious neck injury. Says he's fully recovered & wants to play again. Would be cheap & a possible steal if he was able to stay healthy. Worth the risk???

just curious, how do you think godfrey would do paired with someone like mitchell?  we know what he is as a player.....but that was with the sharrods and harukis of the league.

 

you would have to move Mitchell back to SS..  and then still like the idea of Godfrey in coverage at his most excelled position..

either way, i don't think it's a coincidence that we played a hell of a lot better without any of those other guys seeing the field.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
