I may have been wrong! or, What does Crow taste like?

[AV David]

KGB was signed by Mike Sherman after MS screwed up his tender for his RFA after 3 years of service.

MS put the lowest tender on KGB for the 4th year. All that allowed was for the Packers to match a contract offer. There was little or no draft choice compensation. (I can't remember but he was a 5th round pick in any event. He was cut the first year and then resigned later.)

He was thus the subject of a lot of suitors because:
1. He was a legitimate edge pass rusher coming off a very good year.
2. He came with little or no draft choice compensation.

MS had to sign him to a huge deal or lose him. He had to sign him because, at the time, the Packers were fairly legitimate contenders. His deal was considered border line outrageous at the time.

Good guy. Bad deal for Packers. Great deal for KGB. At least he tried to keep earning his salary. That is more than C Hunt tried to do.

Re: I may have been wrong!!!!!

Harrell actually look ok for his first game back and he didn't get hurt.

It was nice while you were gone. Here's to your next three month absence.

Is that how we set the bar for Thompson's 1'st round picks these days?

Well, he didn't do much, but at least he didn't get hurt. ROFLMFAO

I'm glad you got a kick out of it. It was a joke after all. But no that isn't how I judge the success of a draft pick. I usually let them play a few years before I say if they were a bust or not. Usually a year and a half isn't enough. But let's face it, for JH, staying healthy for the rest of the year is absolutely necessary.

by "resign KGB", I think PackerBlues meant keep him on the roster after his inability to perform in training camp.

Contrarian

except i was contrarian to PB, so I can't be contrarian to the people who are contrarian to PB.

(that's actually what I thought he meant)

Yeah, it is a joke! The guy was the 16'th overall pick in the first round of the 2007 draft. We are now midway through the 2008 season. Usually a year and a half is not enough? What, enough to be a starter? Enough to play on a regular basis?

C'Mon, now! 'Ole Cleedeeus worked his butt off til you rode him out of town!

So let me get this straight, the Packers and Jets are playing at the same time and you would rather watch the Jets?

Are you even a packer fan?

Re: I may have been wrong!!!!!

I found that to be pretty interesting, considering as how so many people in these forums kept making such a big deal out of the fact that Thompson had re-signed KGB not that long ago...... So, was Thompson a genius for re-signing KGB, or is he now a genius for cutting KGB??? Which is it? I am so confused.

Uhhhhhh.....

Maybe you should change the title of your post to I AM ALWAYS WRONG.

KGB signed his deal in 2003. Ted took over in 2005. For fuck's sake man.

wow, they still let you post here?

Yeah, "they" do. I just can't believe you came back dumber than when you left. If you make some big huffy post like this, you might want to make sure you're not totally and completely wrong about the basis of your post. Then again, I think you summed yourself up nicely by stating, "I am so confused."

Welcome back dufous.

Re: I may have been wrong!!!!!

Of course you wouldn't know since you have been in the witness protction program for the past 2 months.

At this point I think you can change it to "I WAS wrong" because I get the feeling a 5th win is inevitable.

Gee Mad, that is one hell of a bold prediction on your part.

By the way, its not that I have been in hiding, I have been checking in now and then and reading others posts. Seems like a lot of people have been "eating crow" in these forums over the last few weeks. I'm not one of em, but I did change the title of the post 4 ya.

Maybe not enough to completely judge if they are a bust or not? Especially since Harrel hasn't played much at all so far. How about we wait till the end of next year before we call him a bust?

Actually Sherman failed to put the maximum tender on him, he only put a 1st and a 3rd tender on him, not the two first round tenders on him.

I think the answer you're looking for would be, No.
