Is this right? Michael HUNT "It's difficult to see Driver playing another snap in green and gold."

[Fritz]

Well, after having said to Woody that the Leos would never pick up DD in place of Titus Young, I read this from the Detroit News...

"Frankly, for all the worries about Fairley and Leshoure running afoul of the law — dopey doesn't begin to describe Leshoure getting busted for marijuana possession twice in two months last winter — the bigger concern among last year's rookies has to be Titus Young's behavior.

The first of the team's two second-round picks in 2011 — Leshoure was the other — didn't exactly endear himself to teammates with some of his flaky, selfish antics last season. And after reportedly sucker-punching Louis Delmas last week after an argument during a workout, he was told to stay away from the practice facility until further notice. Sure, the regular season is four months away — and "team chemistry" is hugely overrated this time of year — but that's not the kind of no-contact drill any team wants."

So...maybe I'll be wrong. Ya never know.

"Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver clarified the meaning behind a bizarre tweet about his future with the team on Friday, saying that he wanted only to illustrate his commitment to the franchise.

I think so many people right now are worried if I'm going to be a Packer," Driver told the Green Bay Press Gazette on Friday. "I'm still under contract. My contract is not over with the Packers. I will be a Packer for life. I don't think that's ever going to change." Fr. LINK

Antonio Freeman hopes veteran 'Donald Driver' is back in Green Bay in 2012.

By Tyler Dunne of the Journal Sentinel
May 23, 2012

Green Bay -

Donald Driver had a point-blank message for Antonio Freeman. And he made himself very clear.

It was 2003. Fresh off his first 1,000-yard season - a breakout season for the former seventh-round pick - Driver suffered a wincing neck injury in the Green Bay Packers' season opener. He was expected to miss multiple weeks. With two other receivers also injured, Packers' coach/general manager Mike Sherman buried the hatchet and brought Freeman back.

So, in the locker room, Driver was sure to get Freeman's attention right away.

"His exact words to me were, 'Uh-uh, sweet dog. I have to get back on the field. I can't let you come back and take what I worked so hard to earn,' " Freeman said.

"One week later, Donald Driver was back in the lineup. That's the kind of mentality that Donald has. If he has his foot in the door, he's not ready to give up. He's not going to give in."

and .....you win 'the Sharpie' AWARD of the day ThunderDan.

Correction. The longest TD at that time 'in Packers playoff history'.

Now ....... I'm going to my room to impose some self flagellation.

maybe this was posted already, Oates see Driver as done.

blah ! blah !! Blah !!!

Your typical 'talking head' must join the RIGHT CROWD writer that certainly supports his stance well but miss's the TRUTH.

Here we read a writer that feels he has to get it right. Yet forgets that getting it right is never predicated on anything but the specific personalities involved.

Besides this writer and all the 'nay sayers' need to keep up:

We're discussing Donald Driver here. Not the future of wanna be Packers Gurley and Borel. I will go with the heart and soul of the known Vs the unknown every time.

I will celebrate another Donald Driver TD and a Lambeau Leap come this season as DD helps us win another game. Count on it !

GO Donald Driver and the GREEN BAY PACKERS !

Believing their own hype. Just be careful. He restructured his deal. Unless he gets guaranteed money, he doesn't necessarily get a roster spot Week 1.

Believing their own hype. Just be careful. He restructured his deal. Unless he gets guaranteed money, he doesn't necessarily get a roster spot Week 1.

Good point.

But I don't think they take the time to restructure if they don't think he can make the roster, even as #6.

[Fritz]

I wonder if restructuring was the condition that had to be met just for Donald to get a chance to compete, instead of getting cut before TC.

[MadScientist]

Good point.

But I don't think they take the time to restructure if they don't think he can make the roster, even as #6.

It give the Packers insurance in case of TC injuries. It also makes them think about keeping 6, which increases pressure at other spots.

[sharpe1027]

No reason to cut him before TC without that huge roster bonus. I hope he has a bounce back year, but if he's any slower than last year he'll have a tough time justifying a roster spot.
