Will JH make the team?

[bobblehead]

I voted no. I want to be optimistic, but I can't be.

It is because you haven't changed your name since we drafted him. The Greg Jennings name lasted a year and so did the Nick Collinsname. Both are pro bowlers now. Change your name and Harrell will start making it happen.

I suggest you change your name to Morgan Burnett!!! But only for a year

So I vote no until JH changes his name.

I vote that we change him to Cyril Obiozer. If he flops no biggie, but if he changes it next year, we could use an OLB.

I vote that he change his name to Ted Thomspon.

Talented big man that should be part of the rotation.

I think in Kenyan that is the name Kabeer Gbaja Assingeara

at this point i have no hope for him staying healthy. he will get injured again, and will be cut

and after this draft it seems like he has become expendable

[Pugger]

At this point if we can get this guy to contribute this season that will be a bonus. How unfortunate for this young man to be the brunt of so much animosity by some fans. I can understand folks blasting TT for drafting him so high with his injury history but I think it is unfair for fans to pile on the hate towards the player as well. No player wants to be injured, especially with a bad back! He very well may have issues with his back the rest of his days.

[Tarlam!]

Agree with Pugger. Rock Gullikson screwed his back up with his free weights lifting regime, and he was fired because of it. That's little consolation for Harrell.

The only blame Harrell can take is showing up disastrously out of shape for camp his rookie year and the year Gullickson broke his back. According to TT, Harrell has done everything in his power to get on the field.

[packrulz]

I vote yes, but they need to ease him into shape, he's been out a long time. He needs to play if he wants a new contract.

All good Points

[Upnorth]

If he can make it back, stay on the roster and not get hurt, just imagine what he could do once he really gets into the swing of things by mid / end season.
However; if, imagine and hope should not be things we hang our hats on. I really doubt he stays on (but I hope I am wrong).

[Fritz]

I was disturbed to read that Spitz had the same kind of back surgery Harrell did...

I vote yes for Harrell. Go Justin! Show 'em!

Truth is, it all depends on his health.

[Carolina_Packer]

Who doesn't hope he's healthy? The Pack have paid a lot of money for little or no production. Sucks for him, the Packers organization and fans. If he's healthy, but not able to make the team or contribute in any positive way, he's a bust and needs to be cut. Not making the team because of lingering injuries would be a shame and on some level would have to be considered a bust, just from a pick/production standpoint, but wouldn't be because he wasn't up to the challenge. I hope he's healthy and has a chip on his shoulder this TC. We could use him. It would almost like having signed a free agent if he can contribute something positive.

What's done, is done. After a whole lot of thinking, I have to go along with
you, Pugger, and let the boy have this chance one more time. I keep
thinking, what if we follow through and he turns out to have a year that's
very encouraging and he's able to improve, we'd all wonder - what if we'd voted no ?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I voted yes, mainly because of the Tennessee homer in me. I'd just love to see what this guy can do if (big if) he could just stay healthy. He has the work ethic and potential necessary to be an NFL starter.

[Brohm]

I posted yes. As tough as back injuries are, if he did not have a reasonable chance to come back and have a productive career, he would be retired just like J.Thompson. I would also say last chance as well (for the back).
