Another Packers fan, Erick of Cable, Wisc., hasn't seen much free-agent activity since Ron Wolf left. Well, let's look. As of March 16, their only signing was cornerback Frank Walker. Last year their biggest signing was Charles Woodson. Not great but a lot better than what they had. Patriots reject Adrian Klemm was their most important of two free-agent signings in '05, supposedly to bolster a deteriorating offensive line that had lost both guards. He lasted one year as a part-time starter.
In '03 and '04 they brought in six nondescript free agents, with Mark Roman making the major contribution as a two-year starter at strong safety. None of them are still with the team. Joe Johnson and Ki-Jana Carter, both busts, were their free agent signings in '02, the year after Wolf left, but they traded two fourth-round drafts to New England for wideout Terry Glenn. He lasted a year, finishing third among Packers receivers with 56 catches.
This isn't a good record in five-plus seasons. It isn't a mediocre record. IT'S DOWNRIGHT AWFUL! Bring back Ron Wolf!
Mein Gott, this a$$hat has surpassed his own level of idiocy. He makes no mention of Ryan Pickett, doesn't acknowledge Marquand Manuel (who was the second biggest FA pick-up of '06, albeit not a good one), and ignores signing of our own free agents.
And if he wants to bring up Ki-Jana Carter, he should have brought up Akili Smith and Tim Couch. Low cost, no-risk FAs brought in for a camp try-out, nothing more. Just like Ki-Jana. Of course, that would require the lazy ba$tard to do research, something he's apparently incapable of.
Perhaps he should spend some time extolling the virtues of teams that ARE active in free agency. Let's see, Minnesota, Washington and Miami have won, what, a majority of the Super Bowls since the start of free agency, right?
Someone should tell this doddering oaf to pack it in before he embarasses himself any further. So he can devote all his time to boring the crap out of people with obscure wine references and the joys of South African rugby.
And of course, the Flaming Redhead.
Does anyone out there think that good ol' Dr Z. is a bitter, lonely bachelor, and that the Flaming Redhead is a figment of his wretched, fevered imagination? Or is that just me?
