Favorite duds and disappointments

[swede]

Any of you old-timers remember WR Bob Long? He was supposed to be the fastest, white, wide receiver ever to wear the green and gold. He never amounted to much.

Bob Long owned the first Pizza Hut in Appleton.
Back in the day of Chef-Boyardee it was pizza heaven.

For that I will always be grateful.

Fullback Jim Grabowski was also a major disappointment. He and halfback(that's what they called tailbacks in those days) Donny Anderson were supposed to effectively replace the star running tandem of fullback Jim Taylor and halfback Paul Hornung.

While Anderson had a good NFL career(but not great), Grabowski suffered knee problems and had a short, ineffective, NFL career.

Ah, the "Gold Dust Twins." Yes, I remember.

Craig Nall

You should ask Merlin about him. He wanted Nall over Rodgers.

I should bring up one of Mike Sherman's "greatest" moves as GM, R-Cal Truluck. Shermy go him for a 5th and a 6th rounder. That was one hell of a coup.

when do we get to the point where you tell us what YOU think, instead of bashing others?

I liked Nall too. In training camp, if you didnt know who was who, you would have thought he was our starter the year I saw him up there.

I always thought Del Rodgers would be around longer than he was.

too bad you bashed both Merlin and Sherman in your "response". Totally clouded your perspective.

Which is more important to you?

I like Sherman and can't even defend the Truluck trade. That was horrible.

R-Cal Truluck was a horrible trade and a colossial dud no mwtter who the GM was. Perspective was very crydtal clear on that one.

Ohhhh How about Joe Johnson?

Ohhhh How about Joe Johnson?

Well that one can be defended somewhat at least.

[Bossman641]
