Selfish! time to cut ties with Montgomery.

Should have stayed a WR. He sealed his own fate. Now he is 3rd string RB.

Bye Bye

Yeah, if that truly happened it will at the very least mean the three man rotation at RB just became a two man rotation. It'll also mean that Trevor Davis is returning punts and KOs very soon. And it might mean that Monty just cut himself.

What a bummer.

You have to get rid of him for obeying the orders of a coach. Otherwise you don't know when he will do it again.
He'll he could have just sunk the season. No one player is that important.
We know Mike covets guys who can play multiple positions. They should find guys who can play one well.

I just read the story a little while ago.

Seriously WTF???

I get he is probably a passionate player. He probably is pissed for not getting more opportunities and in someways I agree with him.

But the minute you play for yourself, you no longer can be on the team.

If these reports are all true, Montgomery shouldn't be on the team anymore. Whether they trade him or release him, I would let him go.
IF, they kept him, I would bench him for the next few games.

The difference in this game was Alexander. Without his D, it would have been another Goff show.

The O line did ok against the best in the league. The D pressure was good but not great. Offense/AR played very good but not great.

I've been calling to get rid of MM for the last 3 years. It's players but it's plays too and MM just hasn't gotten it done. A single owner wouldn't stand for this anymore. There is a real downside to having a Board of Directors and a family atmosphere.

Let's see how management handles this. Can they direct this anger into a fire to win? Or are they going to sit on things and continue to 'self scout'.

If Ty did disobey a direct order, he has to be gone now. He won't be getting any carries anyway. Every Packer player has the right to be really ticked off. I don't think he will even want to return to the locker room.

I would've cut him before they even got on the plane

What saddens me is that I felt 88 could have really been a dynamic piece for this team in the passing game out of the backfield. It just hasn't materialized.

Ty needs to go. Never understood McCarthy's love for moving him from WR to RB. Ty SUCKS as a RB. He's a slash player at best. He can play the slot and other WR type positions, but his touches as RB are taking away from Jones and Williams opportunities and hurt the team in the long run. Not to mention his fragility. Time to cut bait.

Obviously Ty didn't fumble on purpose but it was a borderline "Bostick" level mistake. Instead of just "doing his job" he decided he was going to "do me" and try to make a play.

He wasn't the sole reason we lost but his stubbornness DID take the ball out of Rodgers' hands and that ended our ability to make a comeback.

I'm not usually a "cut that guy" guy, but MM & Gutey may really need to consider it.

why is he not cut yet?

I feel badly for Ty but if the reports are true he’s gotta go. I love the idea of Ty Montgomery but (other than vs.Chicago) the reality of Ty Montgomery hasn’t measured up.

I have been a supporter of TY Montgomery but if this story is true he needs to be chucked. This just can't be allowed on a professional team in any sport.

Back in the Lombardi days, I think it was during the 1962 season, Milt Plum the Lions QB at the time threw an interception late in a close game against the Packers. The Packers converted the pick into a game winning FG. The final score was 13-10 Packers.

When the Lions got back to their locker room after the game ended Alex Karras, the Lions HOF defensive tackle, who hated the Packers, took his helmut off and threw it at Milt Plum's head. Fortunately he missed but the point was made. Maybe some of that needs to happen in the Packer's locker room. Someone needs to do something to wake this team up.

As I much as I think that Monty is a versatile player he needs to go. Thanks, Since '61

Make him a game day inactive the rest of the season so he has to face his teammates daily.
Very selfish player

It's time to cut Montgomery. There is no place for a selfish pouting player on the team.

OT: Everybody hear about Taysom Hill's play last night?

How many articles have we read about the multi faceted player that was Ty...runnner, receiver, returner etc,etc.
How often did many ignore his being easily hurt, missed time, fumbles and now his total disregard of doing what's best for the team because he was taken off the field for whatever reason.

Not running the football on 2 third and 2 situations and getting sacked on both was ridiculous play calling. MM going away from the run cost the game. Montgomery should be traded or cut. AND watching the Saints game and the commentary about Taysom Hill really was an indictment of the Packers 'brain trust' and the idiotic decisions they have been making. Lets list a few....Mack, Hill, Watt, Hayward, Hyde. not getting quality safety help, 2014,15,16 drafts etc, etc.

Can we just go ahead and cut ties with the entire 2015 draft class?!?!

If this true, then Monty needs to be fired (released) or traded before the deadline. What an incredibly selfish act and horrible example to set for young players.

I will say this -- Monty is just one in a long list of players that McCarthy continues to misuse. He should be a dynamic pass catching RB or just go back to WR.

He was a nice temporary fill-in at RB in 2016, but we quickly realized that he was not durable enough as a RB and his sickle cell trait meant that he would heal more slowly. He can be a talented player -- and I think he will be on another team -- but as a WR. He's not a RB. I wish McCarthy would stop trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole.

I think Monty knows he doesn't have a future on the team with all the rookie WRs and rookie RBs on hand now. He'll either get released soon, traded or we'll let him walk at the end of the season.

I'll admit I'm not crazy about releasing a former 3rd rd pick and getting nothing in return. Just bench him the rest of the season or make him inactive if we can't trade him.

I formally apologize to one Brandon Bostic. I equated the egregious actions of one Ty Montgomery to a play Mr. Bostic was trying to make in the moment. I am sorry

The more I think about it, I just realized how much more productive I was sitting on my couch at home drinking beer and watching the game than Ty Montgomery was playing in it.

I'm ashamed to have been such a Ty supporter over the years. If he's not cut or traded this week I'd be irate if I were in that locker room. Forget all the surrounding positives/negatives of the game...he took the ball out of 12's hands by completely disregarding the DIRECT instruction of the coaches. That is inexcusable. With that said, the unfortunate truth is that I'm not sure what/who we've got behind him depth wise. The roster is only 3 deep right now, so if Ty is cut or traded (LOL), who fills his spot at RB? More importantly, does that player equal or come close to equalling what Ty brings to the table?

Now we find out how stubborn MM and the front office are. Do they make the smart decision and cut him, or do they dig in their heels and stick with him? Please, be the first one.

TY has to go and honestly we won’t miss him Good riddance.

Another 2019 Packer FA we don't need to worry about.

why did ty think he could make a play ,when anytime we did have a good return it was called back because of a penalty? all he did was waste time, kill the two minute warning (a free time out), and of course risk fumbling, which he did. you have the highest paid QB in the league, who is the best player at the position and he doesn't even get a chance at driving the team down field, that is pathetic. if they can't trade him (difficult to do now), then you can't cut him right away, so he most likely becomes a game day inactive and a waste of a roster spot until in a few weeks when they can cut him. that way late in the season he won't be able to help out a team that plays the packers, which is where he probably winds up going. in all his time as a RB he still hasn't done more than jones has in his limited time and snaps. wake up McCarthy, please before it is to late.

All this Ty hate is disheartening. He made a really really dumb play. It may have even been insubordination in direct defiance to an order to take a knee. But he has no monopoly on stupid in this game. Running Jones into the line, into Donald and Suh, from his own end zone... who called that idiotic play? Passing the ball long twice on 2nd and two while Jones was doing his best Barry Sanders, whose idea was that?.. and giving Jones only 12 touches, most in the 1st quarter when he rocketed through the Ram D like a missile... who's responsible for removing one of the best offensive weapons we have for long stretches of time? Ty saved McCarthy and Rodgers from scathing criticism of their lame play calling and decision making. Everyone was drooling to see what Rodgers would do with 2 minutes left and the game on the line. The game was also on the line on his last possession and he shit the bed. You want Ty gone for being stupid than in the next sentence demand MM's release and better play from Rodgers.

Remember in preseason he fumbled I think three times and took some returns out of the end zone deeper than he did yesterday. I didn't think he would return kick offs after that performance.
He is a lot slower getting to the holes than the other 2 RB's. And after that F you attitude to the head coach to take a knee, I would of fired him or traded him right on the plane ride home. They should trade him now. No doubt about it. I don't want to here any excuses coming from MM to keep him. None.

What is Montgomery doing back there on kickoff returns anyway, he's no burner and sure with the ball he is not. Ty's fumbled a few times already and one I recall was an easy strip. Thought McCarthy benched players who fumbled, look at Devante Mays he's not even with us and never saw the ball again after fumbling his first two. Where's the accountability and why does Ty get a break? The stubborn coach has to play his guys I suppose, accountability be damned. Watch, instead of seeing Ty fly out the door he'll be in the lineup like nothing happened because that's the McCarthy way. If your one of his guys, your in.

Montgomery is calling the reports of a tantrum on his part during the game categorically false. He claims it is character assassination, and that he and his family have been getting abusive and threatening phone calls and internet communications.

Whatever the truth, people should leave him and his family alone and direct their ire to the Packers brass.

Media did nothing. They didn't even press him.

Not that curious.

Drafted as a WR out of Stanford in 2015, he was hurt his rookie year and put on IR. In 2016, the Packers had a critical need for a RB and he switched. In 2017, we drafted 3 RBs but Monty was our starter on opening day. He missed half the season with injury....again....and when 2018 arrived it was clear he was #3 on the depth chart.

In a contract year, with no real future in Green Bay, he wasn't getting many opportunities to state his case for a good FA contract. He was frustrated, no doubt. And when your star player cusses you out in the heat of battle, that's never good. Monty felt that not only did he have no future in Green Bay, but that his teammates didn't have his back. And he was right on both counts.

We'll be fine without him. The Ravens got a better player than they were likely to draft in the 7th round. I hope he stays healthy and plays well . He made a bad mistake at a bad time and it's too bad he'll be remembered for that, but it is what it is.
