    Man, even though you guys break down the dollars and cents so well, I still get lost. I just can't think in terms of money when it comes to football, even though that's most likely the most concrete reason for what happened. I always sit back and think: Well, JJ was good enough to start someplace else and he has a good working relationship with the team, so they're leaving him open to check out other opportunities and he'll just come back with his best offer and see if the organization wants to match it. If they do or come close, he'll sign with the pack, if the other team offers him a starting position or something like that, he's gone, no hard feelings and all that. - I know this is complete garbage, but I can't help but think of that first.

    What really surprises me is the tender to Kuhn. I would of guessed they'd actually let him go this year. They obviously like Hall much much more. They started Hall over Kuhn in the SB, so they must like him better. I still have a hard time seeing us keeping 3 FB's, but as TT has proved in the past, he's willing to keep unconventional choices. Watch out, next year we'll have two punters on our team.

      PFT reported today that the Packers did tender both Jackson and Jones. So the reports that said they only tendered three players were incorrect. They probably tendered all of their RFAs, like all the other teams.

        LOL. Oh Jesus... Thanks for the laugh.

        Remove Bigby's brain, feet, hips, hands, and hair and he's a Leroy Butler type player. Add the actual ability to hit guys hard, and he's a black Chuck Cecil. A dash of powdered shark testicles and you get...

          What? Perhaps they like Hall more as a FB. That's debatable with the way they rotate the FBs--depending on who they were playing. Even Quinn Johnson got several starts when they wanted a thumper in there. Kuhn has versatility. FB, HB, core ST players. That makes him more valuable than Hall. Let's also not forget that Kuhn is a warrior who doesn't miss games while Hall has become quite injury prone. I'm not surprised at all that Kuhn got tendered. He's a better overall football player.

            It would solve a few roster issues if TT could find ONE fullback who can thump like Johnson, play ST like Hall, and be dependable like Kuhn.

                I'm not saying Kuhn is a poor player, it just seemed to me that they prefered Hall over him in just about every circumstance. Johnson only started when Kuhn was getting a large number of snaps at tailback. Everyone loved Havner but they ended up dropping him like a sack of bricks. Just because we like him and he's a fan favorite doesn't mean they are as high on Kuhn as we are. He did well when put in the spotlight, but he's never been our first choice.

                    Have you tried Amazon? I think you can get anything from there.

                        GMC puts powered shark testicles in its engines, not on its shelves.

                        Chuck Cecil was an inferior safety when he tried to hit everything like a cruise missile.

                        Hall is the Special Team Demon. Kuhn is more of a Special Team Lay Minister.
                        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                          Besides being danged entertaining, this post is sad proof that Packerrats may have been more of an influence on pbmax than pb has been on us.

                          It's like when a really smart kid transferred into your high school. Nothing you can do can make him not smart, but you can still talk him into putting dishwashing liquid in the pool before the big meet.
