    Jon Ryan and Tracy White? Pretty stupid. Uh huh...gotcha..........you thought I meant Favre.
    Jon Ryan I'm not pissed about. Frost was no better, but Kampinos seems to be. From everything I've seen up to this point, I'd rather have Kampinos than Ryan. And that wouldn't have happened if we didn't take on Frost to begin the season.

    Releasing Tracy White was a mistake though.

      That's debatable.

        Has he hinted or said anything? He still looks like hes in great shape and could play another 2-3 years with the packers...
        I'd like to to know where at ESPN you got it becuase there isn't one word on ESPN.com.
        I actually made it up because I have nothing better to do...

        It was under the fantasy football section... I can get the direct link if you really want it...

          The poster stated ESPN, not ESPN.COM.
          Is it really a halo or
          just a swelled head ?

            I thought during this season he said somewhere he wanted to play at least 5 more years. I have no source and don't remember where this came from, but I vaguely remember reading or hearing that somewhere.

              He has said this numerous times. TT doesn't like veterans, and Al Harris has gone on record saying he thinks this will be his last game as a Packer, and i'm sure with three first day picks invested in the receiving corps plus a solid back-up in Martin, that Driver is seeing the writing on the wall.

              I doubt they get rid of Driver. Too much of a fan favorite, still an effective player, good presence in the locker room, etc. But, I've been surprised before by TT.

              JSO has an article about it here: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/36788584.html

              TT would be wise to ask himself: WWBBD, and model DD after the example of Troy Brown and keep him around as long as Driver would like.

                Yeah TT hates veterans. IF you didn't make shit up like that maybe others would take you more seriously.

                If TT hated veterans, why is Kampman still here? Clifton? Tauscher? Barnett? Pickett?

                  I take it this is Hyperbole?

                  Kampman - Best pass rusher
                  Clifton - Best left tackle going into the season
                  Tauscher- Best right tackle going into the season
                  Barnett - Best middle linebacker
                  Pickett - Best run stopper going into the season

                  He obviously doesn't cut every veteran on the team. He does seem to go with the younger guy all things being equal and with the great WR corps it's possible he could replace him. I personally don't think he will until his production falls off a bit more than it has.

                    But that is not what Partial is insinuating. Partial is saying Driver and Harris will be gone next year becuase TT hates veterans. By Partial's stnadard, the ones I mentioned should then be gone as well.

                      As mentioned, it was Harris himself who seems to think he'll get the boot which surprises me. That tells me the players (at least some) also believe TT will go younger any chance he gets.

                        And that worries me. I'd like to see him prove them wrong there. Wasn't it DD who was offered a raise simply for outperforming his contract? I would think that would tell him that he's valued, unless he thinks he's now making TOO much...

                          Doesn't matter if DD or Harris stay, or for how long... other than for fan appreciation.

                          The Packers are a long way from being a contender... so, Harris and DD are there just to play out their careers if TT doesn't pull the plug on them b/4 they retire.

                            By my standard? What standard? TT has shown he would rather go with a young guy all things equal. Has this team not been on a youth movement over the years? Are we not the youngest team in the league?

                            You're grasping at strings that aren't there.

                              I'd be surprised if either Driver or Harris was gone. They are both just too productive and you can never have too many great WR or CB. It was a bit upsetting though to read Al's comments about being traded. Makes you wonder who else is worried for their job in the middle of the season despite playing at a high level. I think the decision to cut KGB resonated with Harris.
                              70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

                                But you said "TT hates veterans". IF thats true, as you claim, all those players I mentioned should be gone becuase TT hates them. Fact is, if a player is productive, TT keeps him regardless of age. Saying "TT hates Veterans" is bullshit and you know it.
