Bump Brandon Bostick? TE - GB (1 Viewer)

Curious what happens here... When Kyle Williams cost the 49ers the NFC Championship in Jan of 2012, they didn't cut him for whatever reason and he was as useless to them as Bostick is to GB.

 
Hard to feel too bad for him. He's a well paid professional. I feel bad for the guy who misses a field goal in a big spot or the guy who takes a big shot and fumbles. He completely ignored his assignment and then didn't field the ball in addition. The second part is less egregious than the first.

 
I sure hope they dump him. He's useless as a player. I don't wish him anything bad or anything like that but they cut a guy to keep him. Maybe that guy would have done what he was told. No room for heroes on the special teams blocking unit. #### him.

#Packers TE @Bostick11 had every chance to avoid us today. He didn't. Total class act. Owns mistake. Much respect.

Brandon Bostick - TE - Free Agent

Packers waived TE Brandon Bostick.

Bostick was due just $585,000 for 2015, but the Packers are moving on after he earned just 34 snaps in 2014. Bostick, of course, is only 29 days removed from being the (unfair) goat of the Packers' NFC Championship Game loss. Still only 26 (in May), Bostick has always offered athletic upside, but it's concerning that he couldn't get on the field in Green Bay considering his lack of competition. He'll fight for someone's No. 3 tight end spot this summer.

Agreed. I know it's breaking from the usual coach/player speak of "one play didn't lose this game" but ya really. . . that one play lost that game.

Hope somebody gives him another opportunity. Just not on the onside kick team.

 
Honestly when u hear the type of praise heaped on Rodgers by A-Rod "coming along nicely" or "he may have the best hands on the tm" would it have surprised anyone if Bostick got cut this offseason even without the special tms failure?

 
Bostick was with the team 3 years and still did not learn the play book. That's why he couldn't get on the field. If he was a decent player he'd still be on the team, on-side kick or no on-side kick screw up.

Triple stamp. 99% of the time blaming one guy is short sighted. Not this time. He single handedly kept the Pack out of the Super Bowl. Everyone has a job, do your job and the team plays well. Good riddance.

 
Mccarthy's conservative play calling early with the two RZ trips and 6 pts. Not attacking sherman after he was hurt was a HUGE oversight. How does a guy get hurt like that and nobody upstairs notices? Im not even gonna entertain the idea they did notice, that would mean that their ignorance is truly limitless.

Bostick didnt do those things.

Bostick didnt take them all the way to the RZ on an early posession and turn it over .

Bostick didnt give up all those yards to Marshawn.

Bostick didnt allow that absolutely ridiculous 2Pt conversion.

Bostick wasnt the guy who couldnt turn 5 freaking ints into points.

Come on guys, plenty of blame to go around. Blaming one guy for botching one play in a scenario they never shouldve been in anyway is nuts.

If youre +3-4 in the TO's, and you have ~20 pts to show for it, id have to disagree. Their offense was terrible. Bad play calls. No situational awareness. Playing scared. Playing good enough to win is maybe not accurate. If any of the things i listed above doesnt happen, they win. Just so happens they all happened and it came down to a situation they shouldnt have been in.

Who was supposed to be covering that TE on the stupid 2pt play? The ball was in the air for like 5 sec it seemed like, who was the defender? How do you give that play up? No 2pt conv, and the onside is way less relavent

Did haha do enough to win when he didn't make a play on the 2pt conversion?Rodgers with two ints and being a bitboff all day?

Quarless with the drop on 3rd down?

There are more too.

Dont take this as me thinking Bostick was good or needed to stay

Agree w/ Sho,

My comments arent to be taken as Bostick is a stud, just that he didnt lose that game for GB. Was a team effort.

Bostick is great at not doing things. Like not getting on the field. Also good at not catching footballs.

If you are just going to call him the only goat in that game...then yes.

I never said that. But make no mistake, he sucked way above his pay grade in that game. No need to keep him around. I can't see how it's unfair to call him one of the goats of that game.

Thats what yhe quote that said unfair was doing...saying it was unfair to put it all on him. Hth

Demovsky is strawmanning that. I don't know a single serious fan who puts this ALL on Bostick. A lot of it falls on McCarthy, Slocum, and Capers. A lot of fault lies with Rodgers missing open targets and throwing picks, the offensive line getting bottled up in the second half, Ha-Ha pulling a Jekyll and Hyde after his stellar first half, Hawk not covering a wide open eligible lineman and getting schooled by a ginger punter, and Burnett sliding when he should have moved the ball forward aggressively. All that said, Slocum and Bostick did NOTHING all year or in that game to demonstrate any value to the team whatsoever. But it was more than that. They absolutely proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they lacked NFL acumen when the Super Bowl was on the ####### line. Good riddance. I hope both get signed by NFC North teams. Hope they both can recover mentally from their shame or guilt or whatever. It's just football. But this isn't a game they belong in. They just lack the juice for it.
