    As the official Packerrats Packers historian, I must remind y’all that the Polar Bear coulda drafted Wisconsin’s own, TJ “White As the Snow of Greenland” Watt.

    Instead, Polar Bear opted to trade out of the 1st round. Then he leaked rumors about the Packers using the 1st pick of the 2nd round on QB Deshone Kizer in hope of getting a trade offer for the pick. No fish bite, so the Polar Bear went with the injury prone King.

    For a historian, your memory is crap. Watt was much more of a medical risk coming out of college than King was. King played all four years. missing only a few games to injury over the four years. Watt injured both knees during his college career losing one entire season because of the first and being limited another whole season because of the second. Watt really had only one season to be judged on. At the time of the draft, many had concerns about his medical history.

    It's really easy to criticize retrospectively, when you have years and years of their pro careers to color your arguments. As the official Packerrats historian you should be more respectful of the historical truth and more accurate in how you relay it....or relinquish your position.

    Packers historian - not Badgers historian. I ain’t watch college futbol since 2008. Though, I must note, why John Stocco never played in the NFL but Brooks Fucking Bollinger did is beyond fucked. Stocco was awesome in red.

    Anything prehistoric, from the Packers origin to 1991, I am more than happy to yield to you. The “Realms,” however, is my thing. First Realm started when Wolf traded a 1st to Atlanta for some hillbilly backup QB from Mississippi…

    Supposed the be “the Realms ARE my thing,” right Fritz?

    While we’re chatting grammar, why do southerners say you “was” instead of you “were”?

    If the realms are a single category than the realms is my thing would be correct. Sort of like the NFL is my thing even though there are 31 teams and the bears.

    I think the moral of this story is, draft Payton Wilson because injuries in college aren't necessarily indicative of injuries in the pros.

    This is from the timeframe of the "realm" You made up the part about TT dangling the pick for potential trade. You lie to further your anti TT narrative. You are the village idiot, not the PR historian.
