Lazard signed by the Packers

[Mr Janny]

Watching Rico Gathers play tonight who never played a down of college FB. Can't believe Gathers is that much of better blocker than AL if he were to convert to TE.

Isn't Gathers just a giant of a man, though? Like way bigger than AL?

Yes, Dave Irving size.

Yes, Dave Irving size.

Yeah, so he's a physical specimen at the tight end position.

He's 6'6" and 270. Runs a 4.75 40.

Looks like he’s with the Packers now

Boooo this Vikings fan is very disappointed.

Good for him. I hope he can get some snaps in these last couple weeks.

 

[wgleason]

He's on the active roster so he should get some snaps

Best mods in the business!

I mean I'm happy for him but the Bears fan in me doesn't love this. I guess since we've clinched the division and don't play GB, I can cheer him on, just may need to shower afterwards.

Agreed. Since the Bears won the division and don't play GB anymore this year, I hope Lazard gets a lot of looks and does well.

The bears fan in me:

I mean I am happy for him but this is a bit of a nightmare scenario

 

[CYCLNST8]

Eh, as much as I hate the Packers, I'm very happy for Lazard. The Packers are searching for answers right now, and they're the kind of organization that may actually give him a fair shot.

I just went from six to midnight as a Packers fan. Not quite sure how he fits in long term, the Packers need a deep threat to take the top off the defense and that isn’t Allen’s forte.

Rodgers could potentially turn him into a star.

I first read this as being on the practice squad but this is the full roster. Nice.

Or throw him under the bus

I hope he sticks. Packers drafted a bunch of WRs this year, and have been pretty happy with them, but their WR corps suffered a lot of injuries. Hopefully he performs well the next couple of weeks and makes this into more than a two game rental.
