    Justin Harrell. Maybe I'm wrong but doesn't he have all the time TT does? Is everyone 'really pleased' with AJ Hawk? Darren Colledge? I'll stop there.
    Well, this isn't really what the thread is about, but I'll answer to your examples. Justin Harrell is what he is, a defensive tackle/end with all of the physical traits you'd look for in a defensive lineman - but can't stay healthy. The other two, yes I would say I'm pleased. Darren Colledge was our best OL last season. Better than either of our former bookend tackles were. Colledge isn't HOF material, but he's going to have an incredible career for the Packers.

    AJ Hawk has done everything asked of him - I didn't think I had to go into this again. He hasn't made a ton of plays because he was never schemed into position to make plays. He was a block eater. That was his job and he did it very well. How many sacks is he supposed to have if he never is sent on a pass rush? How many fumbles is he supposed to cause/recover if he's only asked to move blockers out of the way for Barnett? I'd argue Hawk is very, VERY solid. Hopefully this new scheme will utilize the LB's as playmakers (they better, or the 3-4 will be a disaster) and when they are I expect Hawk to emerge as a premier ILB in the NFL.

    So in answer to your question, yes, I am pleased. At least with the players you mentioned - aside from Harrell, who at this point still has a chance to be very good in this league as well (if he can get and stay healthy).

      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.
      Um Dude, can you stop with the lies? I said Nall should have been given a chance to compete for the backup job that was handed to Rodgers site unseen.

      • Ryan Longwell. I thought he would retire a Packer and I was a big fan of him until he never gave the Packers a chance to counter the Vikings offer. Then of course his unforgettable description of what it was like to live in Green Bay. He turned out to be a pretty selfish guy.

        Javon Walker, I thought he had the real potential but he turned out to be a turd too.

        Older Players: Darrell Thompson, Mike McKenzie(not that old I guess), Bill Schroeder, Chuck Cecil.

            He was given a chance. He sucks, like most of your posts.

            I know, we should still bring back Dave Rayner.

              • Snake is a huge FSU fan. Really really wanted TBuck to be the real deal. Still liked his 5'8" ass as he carved out a career....just made Ron Wolf look like a punk not drafting David Klingler. LOL LOL LOL.
                Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.

                • One for me was Antonio Chatman. I saw him play in the Arena league the season before the Packers picked him up. He was unbelievable that game. I believe he had 4 TD catches and 2 kick returns for touchdowns. Something like 280 all purpose yards on a 50 yard field. He was quick and illusive.

                  I guess he was just too small for the NFL and the quickness he had in the AFL didn't measure up to the big leagues.

                          To bad you can't threaten to send him to the Lions if he doesn't shape up!

                              I don't know, isn't he still playing for Cincy? Certainly has had staying power.

                                I can afford the cap hit, I just hate to lose a talented player...
