Jaguars Release Aaron Kampman

Probably the end of the line (due to injuries) for a great former Packer and a great guy.

[Patler]

He has played only 11 games since leaving the Packers.

I can't remember. Was he signed as a FA by the Jags? Was his last contract with the Pack the biggest he ever received?

He signed in 2010 with the Jags for 4 years 25 million.

I will always treasure Aaron Kampman because his failure in the 3-4 left egg on the face of certain know-it-alls that I have far too much class to name.

If that's the case, ya might as well go ahead and name the poster, Harlan.

I loved Kamp. I wish him the best. Maybe he could sign on with the Bills, they're looking to be on the up and up.

Was I one?


He was a hell-of-a DE for about 5 years. Top 5 in the NFL for that span IMO. He wasn't just a pass rusher. He was a complete player. I wouldn't complain for a second if he was in the Packer HOF.

Kamp was reasonable as an OLB, but not much more than above average. He was definitely more valuable in a 4-3

These are distinguished members of the community. Upright church-goers. Packer People.

I seem to remember that much of the discussion centered around certain posters that seemed nearly certain he would fail miserably and other posters responding with reasons why he might be successful at OLB. I don't remember if there was anyone that was much more than cautiously optimistic about his new roll. It could be that I am wrong, that was sometime ago now.

Anyway, the guy gave the Packers his best years and they were pretty damn good years. I wish him the best.

Gosh, I seem to remember it differently. I remember certain posters that seemed nearly certain he would be spectacularly successful and other posters responding with reasons why he might fail at OLB.

[Guiness]

Just 11 games over 2 years, eh? Add in the games missed at the end of 2009 and he hasn't seen regular play in a while. It does sound like he's breaking down. Might be time for him to call it a career. He certainly didn't burn any bridges on the way out, I expect he'll retire a Packer if he chooses to. He and KGB were a couple of guys who played real well for a few years, and I think we even got a higher draft pick back then we used to get him!

Trying to figure out why you're trolling that way. *shrug*

Perhaps you are correct. But that's not at all the take I get after reading this thread: http://packerrats.com/showthread.php...on+kampman+olb

For example, you stated: "Kampman will not be as effective standing up as he is on the line. (I know he will continue to play end a lot in the new scheme.)"

I responded:

"Probably true, but we won't know for sure until we see the product on the field. A good scheme/coach can really help a player's production."

I don't call that egg on my face, nor do I see it for other posters in that thread. Perhaps you should troll on a different subject?
