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

[Joemailman]

Guess Im the only one who has faith in the old man.

I wouldn't be shocked if they go with 6 WR's and 4 TE's if Quarless is put on IR for the year.

If you're going to be spreading fairy dust here, Joe, I'd like you to please go to the Johnny Jolly thread and post something about how there's a good chance Jolly will have his NFL suspension lifted, and that you heard he's in remarkably good shape from working out in prison, that he's sincere in his attempts to get clean, and that it's rumored TT and MM are meeting with him once the suspension is lifted.

I need some help over there. My fantasy world is crumbling around me in that thread.

[woodbuck27]

That TD against the Giants was like Strahans last sack when Favre curled up. I don't see him taking up a spot sorry to say.

Ohh Boy.

mmmm whats that I see!?

Ohh ! Donald Drive taking pass's from Matthew Stafford. Donald Driver distracting attention away from Calvin Johnson. The Detroit Lions getting past the Green Bay Packers. How did that come to be? Never saw that coming.

What's Ted Thompson going to do?

Well he offered ** $20 Million$ for one former Packer to stand down. Maybe he went to school on that one??

Maybe he will offer 20% of that **; for DD 'to stand up'.... for.... one.... fricken ....more .... season !?

Come On Ted Thompson....think.

I do NOT want to see this:

2011-12 Detroit Lions Depth Chart;

http://www.detroitlions.com/team/depth-chart.html

Where you see either of the names Nate Burleson or Titus Young. Substitute the name:

Donald Driver >>> UPGRADE for 'the Detroit LIONS' !

Come on Ted Thompson. Donald Driver and one more season.

Since Matt Millen is no longer running that team, there is no way on God's green earth you will see "Driver" instead of "Young," unless Young gets hurt.

Woody, why are you so set that Driver is going to the Lions or some other NFC North team should the Packers release him?

I'm not 'set on' anything. 'In fact' I hope and trust that TT will not release him this season.

If he's released and he doesn't want to retire he could end up with any NFL team. Including any NFCN team if that team see's an upgrade by acquiring him.

I want Donald Driver to retire a Green Bay Packer; play his entire career in the NFL as a Green Bay Packer.

History often repeat itself... as lessons go unlearned.

GO PACKERS !

I understand the first sentence. Everyone wants their Packer hero to be a Packer for life. (Of course this rarely if every happens any more with free agency.)

What is the 2nd sentence about? Are you talking about BF? Becasue if you were, the DD and BF scenarios are about as polar opposite as you can have.

I'm with ya Brandon. Reasons have already been given in previous threads.

me too. that catch he made late in the game against ??, on his tip toes, at the sideline, for a td, says he's still got it. one more year please.

[Fritz]

I don't want to see it Fritz.

You won't; at least not Driver in exchange for Titus Young. Young is a, well, young and talented receiver. They're not going to dump him for Driver. However, that's not to say they wont' try to sign Driver as their #3 guy if they think he's an upgrade over Burleson, or if someone gets hurt.

If Donald is released, I can see teams like the Jest or the Phins making a pitch.

[BobDobbs]

I don't think Ted knows what he's going to do yet, but Driver's still on the roster for a reason. They want to see what they've got and that's what camp is for. Driver will take a pay cut like Grant did last year and then he has to compete for a spot for the first time in a long time. He's going to be tough to cut. The young guys have been here long enough that they're going to have to outplay him to win a spot. It's definitely going to be a good reason to watch the 2nd half of the preseaon games.

Hard to see us keeping six WRs. Unless Gurley is a punt blocking machine or Borel wins the KR job. TT always overloads a position, but six wide outs are a lot to dress on game day.

I can't get too worked up about another team signing our cuts. That's life. It seems like we've got 7 WRs that are going to make someone's 53, can't keep 'em all. Someone's probably going to sign a LB or two of ours too. That just shows we're stocking talent. We traded Lorenzo out of the division because the Vikes needed a QB to make a title run. There's no team out there thinking "if we can just add a number 3 wide receiver we're in it this year"

DD is a Packer for life just like Jerry Rice is a 9er for life. It's all good.

I can't get too obsessed about other teams grabbing guys we cut.

You do know that the $20 million offered to that former Packer wasn't tied to the salary cap, and that the former Packer in question wouldn't be taking up a roster spot. You understand this, right? The two scenarios are not at all similar. Thompson could offer Driver all $20 million earmarked for that former Packer, but if he did, Driver wouldn't be allowed to play a single snap in a Packer jersey in 2012.
