Re: Can we spend some money on the O-Line this offseason????

This line is an F'n joke. pathetic. they couldn't stop a decent HS pash!

Thanks P4G, we are well aware of the problems. We are fixing our pad level and will be doing more hitting this week. Colledge got taped to the goal post again. Barbre got some jock-strap itching powder this week. Sitton is young. We sat him down at the computer with some GC porn from Skin this week to see where he might be headed.

We are confident with pad-level. If not, Ted has a guy who knows a guy. Thus, we have 2 truckloads of maxi-pads coming this week to prepare for the Lions in week 6. Pad level should be solid.

Also, Ted has said, he's willing to offer a 6th rounder to the Browns for Joe Thomas...should be a done deal if Cleveland is willing to send us back a starter or two. It's obviously a done deal. Rest easy, Packers4Glory, rest easy.

Here's the thing -- lots of folks laughed at the Vikes for spending money and bringing in Hutchinson on the OL and Allen on the DL. These are impact players who make everyone around them better. Was there anything preventing the Pack from bidding for those guys?

We've got lots of cap room, but do they give you a trophy for that at the end of the season?

No they don't give you a trophy at the end of the season. But in the middle of the season they do let you front load contract extensions with the majority of the bonus money stacked on the current season's books. That way you have a franchise QB playing for a measley 6 million dollar base salary a few years down the road. And no, they don't give out a trophy for that either, but my point is that NOT signing big name FA's allows us to keep our young stars from becoming those big name FA's everyone is gushing about. That's as good as any FA signing.

Gunny, I agree with you...

but

we just got our asses kicked by a team doing the other way with our old, used-up quarterback.
