Yes, it’s Packers Report Cards time again. And just like last year, we’re having to start this much sooner than we would have liked. At a time when we should be analyzing the Packers’ chances in the upcoming Super Bowl, we instead find ourselves having have to look back at last season
So as we have done every year, we are once again undertaking the exhaustive effort of evaluating and grading every player on the Packers roster. We kick things off today with my favorite player, Mason Crosby.
In the spirit of fairness, I have disqualified myself from that evaluation (could I really be objective? no…).
Oh, and one more thing – what makes this enjoyable and rewarding for us, and hopefully for everyone, is your comments. Feel free to call us out if you think we’re off base (BTW, you’re allowed to agree with us too…).
So without further ado (and this wins the prize for shortest post ever on this site) we bring you the:

Packers Tim Masthay: 2012 Player Evaluation and Report Card
1) Introduction: After the disasters that were Derrick Frost and Jeremy Kapinos, Tim Masthay was a godsend. While Masthay will probably never be known for his big leg, Masthay’s forte is his accuracy and his “Aussie style” punts. Much like long snapper Brett Goode and Mason Crosby, Masthay was also the recipient of a contract extension this year, a 5-year $6.005 million...
NFL Rumors: Green Bay Packers looking to extend Aaron Rodgers contract ASAP
Despite having two years remaining on his contract, the Green Bay Packers are looking to extend the current deal with QB Aaron Rodgers. It’s quite possible that the Packers are looking at the current situation regarding Joe Flacco in Baltimore and realize if Rodgers puts up another stellar season in 2013, his future contract could eclipse New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees.

Green Bays Jeff Saturday Switches Sides At The Pro Bowl To Snap The Ball One Last Time For Peyton Manning
Jeff Saturday has spent 14 years on the NFL and this pro bowl will be his last. The center who snapped the ball to Peyton Manning for 12 of those 14 years plays in the NFC for his final season. In the Pro Bowl Saturday switched teams and lined up with the AFC team just so he could snap the football to Peyton Manning one last time. This is something I have never seen in the pro bowl...
Packers expected to extend Aaron Rodgers’ contract this offseason
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the Packers will likely extend quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ contract this offseason, instead of waiting until his contract is up after the 2014 season.
The reason the Packers should get a deal done now instead of waiting is because once the Ravens extend Joe Flacco’s contract, it’s going to raise Rodgers’ price, since he’s a better...
Aaron Rodgers Attends The Pre-SAG Awards
How did I end up at the Pre-Sag awards Juan…
Yes, there are Pre-SAG awards and Aaron Rodgers looks chill with Craig Robinson. Rodgers might have been knocked out of the playoffs earlier than he was expecting, but all indications are that he and the Packers offense will be a force once again in 2013. Expect Rodgers to be the first QB off the board in fantasy drafts once again...
Ranking The Rookies: Jarrett Boykin
Undrafted rookie beat the odds and stuck on the 53-man roster all season
The Green Bay Packers began the season with 10 rookies on the 53-man roster. That’s a pretty high number – especially for a team than won 15 games the previous year. But GM Ted Thompson didn’t hang on to all those rookies to save money or to make himself look good. He kept them because they could play...
Saturday's Sentimental Snap Part of Blowout
Green Bay's Jeff Saturday, the NFC's backup center, snapped the ball to the AFC's Peyton Manning. With Saturday retiring, it was a special moment between longtime teammates. It was a highlight of the NFC's 62-35 victory over the AFC.
Greg Jennings puts Wisconsin home up for sale
Jim Racalto There’s been plenty of speculation that WR Greg Jennings will not be back next season with the Green Bay Packers after their playoff loss to the eventual NFC Champion, the San Francisco 49ers. Jennings himself said he was unsure whether he’d be back with the Pack, and he recently put his house in Wisconsin up for sale at a price tag of $525,000. It looks like...
Ravens, 49ers have plenty to teach Packers
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Any team that makes it to the Super Bowl is obviously doing several things right. Whether it's schemes, roster decisions or general philosophies and play style, it's working. And, every offseason, teams around the NFL somewhat adapt to what's working.
The Green Bay Packers were that team two years ago. After winning Super Bowl XLV, the offensive system...
Another Indication That Greg Jennings Will Not Be Back In Green Bay Next Season
Paul Imig of Fox Sports reports that Packers WR Greg Jennings put his house on the market Monday.
This is just another indication that he expects to be playing elsewhere at the start of the 2013 season. Green Bay has a number of key players to address in the next few years like Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews and B.J. Raji, so it seems reasonable that they would allow Jennings to...
Positional Review: Offensive Line
We look back at the season with our featured performer, depth chart, unit grade and look ahead to 2013. What do the Packers do at left tackle? Has Marshall Newhouse shown enough, and is there more room to grow after a solid second season as the starter?
Packers Should Boot Crosby
Veteran kicker Mason Crosby missed a career-high 12 field goals this season
I was among Mason Crosby’s biggest defenders during his first four solid but unspectacular seasons, but after watching him Tom Birney the ball all over the place in 2012, I’ve had enough. It’s time for a change.
I thought Crosby finally jumped from average to elite in 2011. The former Colorado star...
