Driver signs extension - packer until 2012!

It's hard for me to imagine Driver playing in 2012, but he is in good shape and might last that long. Thing is, there are a of other younger guys who may surpass him. Still, very good career for a high jumper.

s it pure disdain that RG doesn't get taken by his word? All he says is that he expects a huge year, a 16-0 year with a win in Dallas in February and if that doesn't happen, the season is a write off.

I'm OK with that, especially after I know how I felt after the Cards loss. And every other loss for that matter.

Other than that, he wants Ted's head only, if the OL stinks it up. Again.

It's obviously not hard to pick a fight around here if such incredulous expectations are considered a line in the sand.

If you could somehow replay the 2010 season 100 times, how many of those times do you think the Packers could be expected to win the SB? If they won it 10 times I think that would be a big success. 20 times would be phenomenal and would probably be more than any other 2010 team. By the logic you're using, 80-90 of those replays would be failures. I think you both asking too much and placing too much emphasis on the very end of the season. If the Packers have a great season but slip up in the NFC championship game or get beat by some other team that suddenly gets hot (think of the 2007 NYG), sure that would be disappointing but I wouldn't call the entire season a "write off" because of that one game.

Driver was at the family night practice but didn't suit up. At first it might seem he was being a prima donald, but he was signing for the fans, so I doubt it. DD is cool with the folks.
