Dougherty: "Packers need free agent help"

[ThunderDan]

It is so easy to be an armchair GM.

At the end of the preseason were any of the reports bagging on the Packers lineup? Wasn't all the talk was how we were going to the palyoffs?

I'd be a lot more impressed if he was saying we would struggle to make the playoffs and could follow it up with this piece.

How many people will remember this article if the Packers finish 10-6 and make the playoffs? Will the reporter by held accountable by his employer and get fired or take a paycut? Sadly, the answer is no. Papers only care about circulation these days and don't care what they have to fill the paper to do so.

Very nice assessment.

Every team has holes and problems.

There is no perfect team. We need X to win is not the answer.

As in X = Julius Peppers.

How many of those threads did we see this summer?

And how many of those people would give credit to TT as making the right move by not pulling the trigger..based on how peppers is playing this year.

Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make.

BS, whatever position ends up being a weakness, free agency would have fixed it. It is pretty much game-set-match in the argument department, and you are being unreasonable for even trying to debate the issue.

Which is greater, free agency or chuck norris?

Chuck norris is a free agent.

[Bretsky]

Wasn't Tausch a free agent?

NO; the master drafted him

[Bretsky]

ingore fa; how can you argue that and not be in favor of our reclycling project of developmental superstars on the bottom portion of our roster

Chuck norris is a free agent.

Teams don't sign Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris signs them.

[MJZiggy]

Wasn't Tausch a free agent?

NO; the master drafted him

So? If he'd have been signed by someone else, you'd have been all over TT's ass.

Just another example of TT letting Wolf's players go then

Great article.

You built through draft, free agency & trades even.

Screw free agency & screw Reggie White, Sean Jones, Don Beebe, Keith Jackson, Frank Winters, Santana Dotson, Desmond Howard, Andre Rison and even Mike Prior; all HUGE for Packers in SB seasons. (Did I miss some?)



Chuck :P

Ryan Pickett Ok, but really...

Chillar (see Pickett)

Al Harris came in trade as did Purple Heart Bert - back in the day.

The rest of Packers current roster are mostly drafted by TT & Wolf and even some street guys.

So screw free agency

Teams don't sign Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris signs them.

Chuck Norris will not sign until the uncapped year when he can get properly compensated, somewhere in the neighborhood of a few billion dollars.
