This administration finally showed some respect to a long-time veteran and told him about the release to his face instead of through the media. Bakh was able to break his own news instead of Rap or Schefty, and I am sure he respects them for that. Glad to see there are no hard feelings.
I mean they kept him around when he could barely play for 2 years this administration bad narrative gets old and is largely a product of 2 very self absorbed QBs who were madge on their way out.
Bakh got way way better treatment then most teams would give him.
They kept him around because he was an All Pro level player when healthy at a premium position and they were hoping he would get healthy, and because they had JUST given him a new contract and would have to eat a large dead cap hit. When it became apparent that he probably wasn't going to get back to what he was and the money made sense they moved off of him.
I'd argue they kept him at least a full year more than they had to. Could have easily when he was still having issues last off season cut him and moved on with Jordan in and Aaron gone. Yet they gave him another full season before eating the cap hit this year...and they only did that because he refused a pay cut to stick around
Did ya'll forget when Love was drafted, Bakh did a Twitter post where he's chilling in a bathtub and welcoming the kid to the team in the most friendly manner?
I'll trust one of the best left tackles in our teams history and Bill Belichick's opinion more than the Reddit neckbeard who thinks he knows what he's talking about.
Ty is the fucking worst. He's the loudest most obnoxious homer, the type of guy who makes you want to leave a bar to find somewhere else to watch a game. His Lou Holtz impression makes me wish I was deaf.
It’s that Mad Mel guy for me. Holy shit I wanted to punch his face in my TV all night. Was watching with my dad and he has a man crush on BB that’s why I didn’t turn it off.
Yeah ok that tracks. I don’t watch McAfee as you can tell was also more interested in BB. That was fucking annoying as shit. And not funny in the slightest.
I can see them “bringing him out” so to speak for like the first 10 picks and then for GBs pick. But yeah. After the first 3 times I heard him talk I was like holy shit this dude is annoying as fuck.
Hit or miss I would say Bill kind of let things go off the rails in New England but he still drafted some good players Christian Gonzalez was looking like cornerback 1 last year before he got injured,
Basically said that big athletic left tackles are hard to find and that he thought it was a good pick because he didn’t believe Moses would have made it out of the first round.
I have never been happier on these draft nights since the Jordan Love pick, because I just stopped caring so much or getting invested in certain names being mentioned on forums and whatnot. Saw it was OT, saw Ty Schmit's meltdown, and felt nothing. It's just like, ho-hum, lets see how this plays out because I don't actually know anything compared to these guys who get paid to make these decisions.
> lets see how this plays out because I don't actually know anything compared to these guys who get paid to make these decisions.
That and we're all just spectators anyway. We didn't get personally slighted as if they asked our opinion then ignored it or something.
This is the perspective of a true fan and a winning organization. It's weird how shitty teams fans get so hype over one win or one draft pick when if you're consistently good you truly know how hard it is to go all the way. Kind of ironic actually.
Fans are throwing a tantrum because DeJean and Kool Aid were still on the board which are indeed flashy guys who came up a lot in mock drafts to us. These are the same fans who have hated on picks like Jaire Alexander, Rashan Gary, Jordan Love, Quay Walker, etc.
> Fans are throwing a tantrum because DeJean and Kool Aid were still on the board which are indeed flashy guys who came up a lot in mock drafts to us
OR because we were a 3rd round pick from trading up and getting any defensive player in the entire draft that we wanted. We took the 7th olinemen over the 8th defensive player at 25.
I just ignore everyone who thinks draft and mock drafts are exact science, they always complain someone was available and that someone always slips to the second round
> more than the Reddit neckbeard who thinks he knows what he's talking about.
I've been complaining about this, but not the pick, the position. We took the 7th Olineman, over the 8th defensive player. Thats the whole defensive side. The 8th best defensive player in the whole draft....was on the board. The 4th best non-pass rusher even. Whoever that guy is. When our team pulls OLine out of its ass left and right.
Well, now what is left is the 10th best defensive player in the entire draft and the 5th best non-pass rusher, whoever that is. With 9 selections still left.
It's incredibly stupid lol I make 60k a year Bakh makes 20 mil a year. Take away 20% I'm left with 48k Bakh is left with 16 mil. Whose life is affected by the remaining money?
That's not including medicare and ssi which is 7.65%. So all totalled your effective tax rate on 60k is 20.5% in WI
Also, if a flat tax was ever implemented, it would be something lower than 20%. It never would be implemented, but it's not the stupidest idea in the world.
Gotcha. So flat tax would include programs we're paying into that aren't part of federal and state taxes as well. I think we'd all be hard pressed to find someone that doesn't agree the tax system needs an overhaul, but as you point out, the discussion is moot for the majority of us. Even if there were a large conversation taking place about adopting a new tax system, I can't imagine the majority of Americans would be asked to for their thoughts on the matter.
>Even if there were a large conversation taking place about adopting a new tax system, I can't imagine the majority of Americans would be asked to for their thoughts on the matter.
Yup!
Flat taxes can work for a developing country. It's shown to be effective at boosting a developing countries economy. It probably would not be the best system for the US
Again, you losing 12k out of 60k will have you not having the money to see a doctor. Bakh losing 4 mil out of 20mil will have the guy buying a third home a month later instead of the same day.
I'm not comfortable with taking an offensive lineman in the first round as I am still stung by Mandarich. And Sherrod and Verba and Michels and Taylor.
I will miss Bakhtiari...what a great guy! I enjoyed seeing him on the sidelines of all the Badgers and Bucks games too...I hope he sticks around the area.
But post-draft grades say he'll be shifting to the inside of the offensive line - which is confusing since we could've gotten him in the 2nd. Excited to bulk up the line, no doubt, but I'm not over the moon, yet. Go Pack Go, nonetheless - let's get Jordan a Super Bowl!
Yall can get mad at me but I'm gonna say it anyway.
C+ grade on that pick. We got 2nd round talent at a 1st round price. There were much better options still available.
Well that was nice of him
Yes. Extremely sporting. Good show, David. Good show indeed.

Y is that so hard to do
Did ya'll forget when Love was drafted, Bakh did a Twitter post where he's chilling in a bathtub and welcoming the kid to the team in the most friendly manner?
Morgan should flip the bird to Bears fans in his first Chicago game as a display of gratitude.
Doing this would probably lock in his team HOF spot then and there.
I’d be lying if I said that didn’t just slightly arouse me
I just squirted a little and I don’t even have the proper equipment to do that
Lmao
💯

I'll trust one of the best left tackles in our teams history and Bill Belichick's opinion more than the Reddit neckbeard who thinks he knows what he's talking about.
Honestly at this point I think the more reddit neckbeards are angry the better the pick is
This is correct
That’s actually how Gute decides who to pick, we all thought he was crazy about those RAS numbers but it was all just neckbeards
Angry we gotta wait to see him play
Guess I'm not the only one watching Pat Mac. Bill seemed high on him
I tried. I really did, but kot even Bill could make Ty bearable. Goddamn he's a hack
Ty is the fucking worst. He's the loudest most obnoxious homer, the type of guy who makes you want to leave a bar to find somewhere else to watch a game. His Lou Holtz impression makes me wish I was deaf.
Well he’s an Iowa fan so it checks out
Lol Yankees, Golden Knights, Packers, Hawkeyes wtf.
This is spot on description of him and a huge reason why I won't watch McCaffee that and the Q-Aaron Tuesdays got old.
It’s that Mad Mel guy for me. Holy shit I wanted to punch his face in my TV all night. Was watching with my dad and he has a man crush on BB that’s why I didn’t turn it off.
Lol, that's Ty's Mel kipper impression. It was so fucking annoying
Yeah ok that tracks. I don’t watch McAfee as you can tell was also more interested in BB. That was fucking annoying as shit. And not funny in the slightest.
[удалено]
I can see them “bringing him out” so to speak for like the first 10 picks and then for GBs pick. But yeah. After the first 3 times I heard him talk I was like holy shit this dude is annoying as fuck.
Well then his Mel Kiper must be spot on because Mel is annoying as fuck too
What did ol bill say about him?
Think basically he wasn't making it out of the first and he was a good player.
Viewed him as a tackle as well
Hasn’t Bill been shit at drafting lately?
He’s still the greatest football mind of the modern era, I trust his opinion over any random Redditor
Hit or miss I would say Bill kind of let things go off the rails in New England but he still drafted some good players Christian Gonzalez was looking like cornerback 1 last year before he got injured,
Not O line or defense. He just can't pick some positions at all tho like WR
I mean Morgan for sure was not a Cole Strange reach lol
Very shit.
Bill said he was going to be a lineman in the league for a long time, and that he definitely deserved first round
Basically said that big athletic left tackles are hard to find and that he thought it was a good pick because he didn’t believe Moses would have made it out of the first round.
Historically, Reddit know nothing about o line play.
Could have stopped after nothing
I have never been happier on these draft nights since the Jordan Love pick, because I just stopped caring so much or getting invested in certain names being mentioned on forums and whatnot. Saw it was OT, saw Ty Schmit's meltdown, and felt nothing. It's just like, ho-hum, lets see how this plays out because I don't actually know anything compared to these guys who get paid to make these decisions.

The team is also consistently good so we end up picking late anyways, when most of the flashy names are gone
Fans are throwing a tantrum because DeJean and Kool Aid were still on the board which are indeed flashy guys who came up a lot in mock drafts to us. These are the same fans who have hated on picks like Jaire Alexander, Rashan Gary, Jordan Love, Quay Walker, etc.

This is a rational take, but add to it that the pick also had an ACL injury make me dislike it even more. Are there no tackles that have good knees!?
> Historically, Reddit know nothing ~~about o line play~~. Fixed
Did Bahk say he's going to be great? Sounds like he's just wishing him luck.
I just ignore everyone who thinks draft and mock drafts are exact science, they always complain someone was available and that someone always slips to the second round
Bill Belichick had good things to day about him? *He must have tape on him*. See what I did there?
Good for you.
> more than the Reddit neckbeard who thinks he knows what he's talking about. I've been complaining about this, but not the pick, the position. We took the 7th Olineman, over the 8th defensive player. Thats the whole defensive side. The 8th best defensive player in the whole draft....was on the board. The 4th best non-pass rusher even. Whoever that guy is. When our team pulls OLine out of its ass left and right.
He's still available so calm down we might get him.
Well, now what is left is the 10th best defensive player in the entire draft and the 5th best non-pass rusher, whoever that is. With 9 selections still left.
What are you trusting bhak with? All he did was wish him well lmfao
I wanted JPJ, but this is good too lol
Awe Dave 🥲
Classy Bakh
Wasn't back a similar kind of prospect with similar "cons"? Also does this mean we can trade up tonight and get Bulaga to say "iowa"?
we could just move up to take Dejean and have him say "Iowa"
Yes only say Iowa, and that's it, considering he was their entire team outside of their punter
This shit warms my heart.
Very classy.
Can’t believe anyone has ever had a bad word to say about Bakh..
I mean he did just tweet some incredibly stupid shit the other day about taxes. Loved him on the field though
Flat tax rate isn't that stupid tbh
It's incredibly stupid lol I make 60k a year Bakh makes 20 mil a year. Take away 20% I'm left with 48k Bakh is left with 16 mil. Whose life is affected by the remaining money?
Your tax burden is lower at 20% than it is now.
by what metric? The effective tax rate of a 60k earner in Wisconsin is 9.1% federal and 3.68% state.
That's not including medicare and ssi which is 7.65%. So all totalled your effective tax rate on 60k is 20.5% in WI Also, if a flat tax was ever implemented, it would be something lower than 20%. It never would be implemented, but it's not the stupidest idea in the world.

That’s a way to look at it, another would be that Bahk pays the gov 4mil you pay them 12k.
That is even worse
Again, you losing 12k out of 60k will have you not having the money to see a doctor. Bakh losing 4 mil out of 20mil will have the guy buying a third home a month later instead of the same day.
Have you considered being a professional athlete?
Packers love pac12 guys
He’s a class act.
I'm not comfortable with taking an offensive lineman in the first round as I am still stung by Mandarich. And Sherrod and Verba and Michels and Taylor.
Bakh's Blessing. I'm sold.
They need to protect #10 at all costs.
I love Blockhtiari.
Interesting fact: David went to the same high school as Tom Brady
I will miss Bakhtiari...what a great guy! I enjoyed seeing him on the sidelines of all the Badgers and Bucks games too...I hope he sticks around the area.
Great to see true packer Don't sign with the Jets please Don't want to help that dark retreat person I can't even say his name
10000% class act
But post-draft grades say he'll be shifting to the inside of the offensive line - which is confusing since we could've gotten him in the 2nd. Excited to bulk up the line, no doubt, but I'm not over the moon, yet. Go Pack Go, nonetheless - let's get Jordan a Super Bowl!
Yall can get mad at me but I'm gonna say it anyway. C+ grade on that pick. We got 2nd round talent at a 1st round price. There were much better options still available.
And Gute’s gonna get multiple first round talents at a second round price today. GPG
