    That kid was unreal. He had some speed and strength, but what a case of arrested development. He went from splitting time in base, to nickel, to dime, to ST, to inactive, to cut.

    He has some physical skills, maybe some time and the right coach would make him an NFL player. He ain't one right now.

    Marquand Manuel, Charlie Peprah, Earl Little, Anthony Smith.

    Something tells me it's not the coaches, it's the players. Ted Thompson has been GM for almost a decade and he has not yet found a competent replacement for pretty boy Darren Sharper.

    Maybe the Packers could move Perry to coach the OLBs and hire ex-Packer great, Al Harris, to coach the DBs. Harris is currently assistant DB coach in Kansas City under ex-Packer DC, Emmit Thomas, so the hire would be a promotion.

    Harris can only coach man coverage

    So the real conclusion is that Sherman never replaced Butler and TT was left cleaning up his mess.

    This argument is like a 3 card monte game.

    Sharper did not have a great running mate after Butler was gone.

    Collins at least had complementary piece Charlie Peprah next to him. Peprah was no Pro Bowl talent, but he did a job and usually did it well even if he could get into trouble in space. Who woulda ever thunk we would miss Pep?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    If anyone is a crackerjack researcher at bumping threads I did. I was amiss at everyone begging to replace him after the superbowl. Was he a stud...hell no, but we had studs (until collins went snap)

    Again, Collins was Butler's replacement.

    Burnett? He can't hold Sharper's jockstrap. Average at best. Not a playmaker. Injury-prone. Unless Burnett takes the minimum-wage, let him walk. I heard the Browns have 100 M bucks of free cap space and they inspire to be the Packers of the AFC. Let 'em overpay Burnett for his mediocre service.

    YEA ! Morgan Burnett is so valued in Green Bay that he signed a lucrative second contract and has been with the team for 8 years as a starter!
