Criteria for Packer People?

Fearsome Foursome

Lamar Lundy, Roosevelt Grier, Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones

the stage is set for this type of behavior well before players even reach the pro level.

HS players "normally" need a C average to play sports. However, a kid that is the star of the basketball team might have an F and there will always be some coach that sneaks past all that.....

In college, you know rules are broken much more than we hear about when it comes to agents enticing players with money, gifts, etc. that they aren't supposed to do. A player can finish college barely knowing how to read,but who cares....he has a great 40 time.

I wish someone would step up and do the right thing, but it was perfectly said in a reply above....there is too much money involved in the NFL to let something like this matter.

Joe Greene was the MAN.

I don't judge people. Personally, I could care less what he does with his time.

The problem I have with C. Rodgers carrying and discharging a firearm in public is that it presents a glaring character risk and reason as a fan to think he may not have his head completely in football.

Many have done these types of things and had fine careers. For every talented bad boy who had success, there is a talented bad boy who famed out with arrests and troubles.

Personally, I don't give a shit what he does. As a fan, I already question his priorities. There is no reason to illegally carry a gun in public. If you're a football player and you have that much to lose, you just stay home before you go somewhere you feel you need a gun for protection.

Whatever the case, he won't last long if he does this again because he would likely be in jail. As a fan or a GM, you'd be stupid not to realize this is a risk. It has to be considered. You don't cut him if he's the best option hands down, but if it's close and one guy is coming off a gun charge at a texas night club, I think you side with the high character guy.

This does make a difference. Not huge, but it shows, he could end up in jail real soon if he does this again. What's to say he won't?

[MadtownPacker]

I dont care what he was doing since he wasnt shooting at innocent bystanders or holding up a store. But why did he have a hot gun? What if someone got smoked with it? He is far from done with this and better hope the gun was clean.

Re: Criteria for Packer People?

And I agree with you that talent will give him a shot.

I agree. If a player is good enough, a little gun play in taverns ought to be overlooked.

I can't even tell if you're being sarcastic.....When you put it that way, it sounds so much worse. People will crucify Bonds for using 'roids which hurt no-one and then they'll defend a guy who carries loaded weapons to a bar so he can drink and then presumably defend himself. Talk about hypocracy.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was just making a pun on the word "shot".

[RashanGary]

just kidding

[MadtownPacker]

I can tell you right now Harlan aint Packer people.

[outflow]

Ok I am back. Man this thread took off.

I want to say right now I don't think he should be cut or anything. And he may not even be guilty. In fact it is my belief that decisions should be made on a risk/reward basis. Things get overlooked with trouble and I understand that. I'm no prude in my beliefs.

This thread was made to poke fun at the MM hiring and post draft interviews. When Mike was hired we heard countless times about Packer People this and Packer People that. Ok fine. Well then after the draft all the interviews with Packer Admins/Coaches had Packer People this Packer People that.

Its almost as if there is a sheet of paper with bulleted highlights saying when you are asked this provide filler comments to get off topic i.e. We like and want Packer People on this team. Just my thoughts.

I also think there is something to getting players that are hardworking-football types that are smart (in the football sense).

But I'm waiting for a question and response like this in the Week 3 press-conference.

reporter----Mike, was the result of today's game an oversight on the passing threat, or was it more of breakdown on execution?

MM----Nah we had our players in the right position all day. You have to give the other team credit they game out today to win and executed. With all of the Packer People we have acquired... we are going to have a chance each and every Sunday.

I can't wait for it, because it will be there....write it down!

I think "Packer People" means only one thing. Players who want to be in Green Bay, or at least those who don't strongly desire not to be there. It merely means getting rid of the malcontents.

[RashanGary]

I think "Packer people" are just hard nosed football players. Guys who have a knack for the game and just seem to make plays. Not the guy with the fastest 40 but the guy who's fastest to the ball. Things like that. Thompson pretty much said it a few times. Just a country football player. A guy who makes plays.

Donell Washington = Not a Pakcer person
Johnny Jolly = Probably a Packer person

Just hard workers who have a knack for the ins and outs. Leverage, ball skills, body control ect...Things like that. Not just strait speed, but the little things that players have that allow them to make plays.

According to everything I've heard, I think Rodgers has those qualities. He loves to play football. He might be a dip shit off the field, but he loves the game on the field. He's not out the door yet, but this is a check mark IMHO.

Then Grady Jackson and Mike McKenzie were Packer People.
