Criteria for Packer People?

[outflow]

In light of the Cory Rodgers incident, I'm starting this thread in hopes of constructing a list we can look back on.

---A player who doesn't carry and fire, firearms.

In all honesty though, after all this hub a lub about Packer People, does he even have a chance?

Yea, if he has talent he's got a chance. Just about every team in the league will sweep some stuff under the rug if a guy can play. Plus, it's not like he killed somebody. If it's true you wonder about his brains but all the facts aren't in yet.

He's definitly going to have to earn his spot now. This was just a bad idea. He made a huge mistake. He might have had a roster spot just on potential, but now he's going to have to win it strait up.

And I agree with you that talent will give him a shot. But.......Why include the topic of Packer People in every post draft interview, if it really isn't all what's important. So for me this will be interesting to watch.

Oh btw.... I meant a player who doesn't carry and fire firearms to threaten people.

I agree outflow. This was just stupid on his part. I think TT and MM are going to think long and hard about keeping him on the roster.

errmmm.....The ravens have a murderer on their roster.....

[MJZiggy]

They're not Packer People.

The important thing is NOT to wait until the entire story is known. Way to go gang.

I agree carrying a gun isn't too bright, but I'll wait a while before I judge him.

In as much as, the Packer's and any other NFL team attempt to bring in "Quality Players" while steering clear of potential problems, the reality of the modern NFL team is to base a player's overall "Quality" upon his "potential" return on investment..

There is just too much money involved in today's game, to blow off a potential talent because of an indiscretion... Micheal Irvin, T.O. and Keshawn, are prime examples of how the NFL looks the other way... as needed. Green Bay is part of the NFL, and they too will tolerate quite a bit if there is a remote chance the ROI is good. Is the Rodger's incident any worse than the Daven-poop's, Ahman's mistakes, Brett's addictions, T. Williams shoot out............ etc. etc. etc....

No...

Don't fool yourself, this is a harsh business... If the good guys make the team, it's a bonus... If not, you hope for the best.. If Rodger's has pro talent, he's on the team, period.....

While it might sound all warm and fuzzy to think the Packer's are above keeping a questionable character... This table was set decades ago......McGee and Hornung religiously broke the rules.... and Lombardi looked the other way.. almost every time....

Am I the only one who remembers Tyrone Williams facing gun charges in 1996? He had a pretty good career in Green Bay after making a mistake as a young player. The Packers knew about his gun charges before they drafted him. Does that mean Wolf and Holmgren didn't know Packer people?

I actually watched that trial on court tv. He didn't kill anybody, his asshole homies did and he covered it up. THAT was the issue...someone was killed and this prick LIED in court.

The NFL isn't an acronym for National Felons League for nothing. If the guy shows he has skills in camp they'll keep him, as they probably should.
