B.J. Sander cut

Partial;

greater Wausau area. But I don't want to say anymore; I don't want to violate anyone's privacy (even though its really not).

I'm sure the person knows who they are. If they want to admit it they can...

What the hell are you two talking about?

I still remember draft day in 04. Was watching it with a buddy of mine who's a diehard Cowboys fan.

When i saw GB traded up for a *&^$#@ punter I just about lost it. It does kind of have to rank with Wolf's pick near end of his career of Ferguson over Chambers.

What makes it worse, there was a player that MIGHT have been helpful only 2 picks after Sander was picked.... Matt Schaub - QB - Virginia (picked by Atlanta).

Walker did not work out well. We got a good year and a half out of him, and a 2nd round pick in return. The rest of his time here was spent A) sucking B) in rehab or C) sulking.

Sherman didn't injure him and Shreman wasn't responsible for him in 2005.

Yeah, you can't blame Shermy on that.

I try to blame Sherman for everything, including global warming and an unstable Middle East.

He's at least responsible for his own unstable middle. BTW, I laugh every time the 'napping Shermy' pic comes up. I think I'll put it up as wallpaper on my PC.

It was an absurd pick, no question.

Too bad Sander didn't go to Michigan. Then, bulldog could start posts about how underrated Sander really is. Sander's blows. He's an embarrassment to Ohio State, but not the embarrassment that Mo Clarett is.

It's 50/50 on whether Ryan punts come the regular season.

Harvey,

This quote from Sander's Bio on Packers.com about his days at Ohio State:

"In 29 games, he punted 125 times for 5,270 yards ... His 42.2-yard average ranks third on the school's career-record list, topped only by Tom Skladany (42.7 avg., 1973-76) and Tom Tupa (44.7 avg., 1984-87)."


You can bitch all you want about whether or not he should have been a third round pick (incidentally, Sander didn't control that....), but implying that he shouldn't have had an opportunity to kick professionally is not reasonable. Why didn't he succeed? Who knows, but you can't bash anyone for not giving him a try.

He'll get another shot, my guess is Kansas City.... But, we'll see.

God,

Sherman had the worste run of draft picks imaginable. I would wish bad things on him and his family, but I knwo that is taking it too far. I thought he was OK as a coach, but the guy needed to get canned just for what he did to the organization as a GM.

I understand why he did it. I just think him doing it was completely stupid and while I can rationalize why a murderer killed his wife, I just can't agree with the rational. The rational was just plain stupid and that picture of Sherman sleeping at the combine is a perfect symbol of his time on the job.

Thank you Ted Thompson for coming to GB and unseating that freaking loser. There really is a Packer god and he put Mike Sherman in Lambeau to show us what he's capable of doing. He can take it all away with the creation of one fat pear shaped loser. I respect you oh lord Packergod. We will never doubt your power again.

Fuck You, Mike Sherman. Fuck You.

Are you praying to Brett again?

falco !?:

Do YOU re-call all the spin, when Jon Ryan first came into Green Bay for that try out?

Way back in February? That seems so long ago in Off Season time.

GO PACKERS ! HOLD THE FAITH PACKER FANS !!!

Fuck You, Mike Sherman. Fuck You.

Nice. Nice.....

Ahhhh "the SHAME - on YOU GregJennings", and it's YOU, to comment on emotion's

That is the most pathetic post I've ever read on PACKERRATS !!!! The WORST. ABSOLUTELY.

Look in the mirror Sir, examine - STUPID. If you, can't forgive stupidity......

I leave you GregJennings with this:

that we deserve them " ...... Aristotle

Good Luck. Man......

Mike Sherman.... a FINE MAN !!

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Mike Sherman was as idiot, but he's gone. It's time to forgive and forget.

[Kiwon]

I'm a Sherman supporter, but I must agree that he completely whiffed on B.J. Sander.

[the_idle_threat]

Happy about the move.

Guess the BJ era is over. No more BJ. What's going to happen to the BJ Fan Club that was started a very long time ago? I mean, who doesn't like a BJ? I guess TT doesn't like a BJ.

I think TT just doesn't like a BJ from Sherman.

Somehow, two topics re: Sherman got mixed together - he put all his chips on the table in an effort to bring home a Super Bowl, and he traded up to draft a punter in the third round.

I'm not sure what these two things have to do with each other. I'm fine with him trying to win it all, at a cost to the franchise mid-term. Really, we only ended up in a bad cap position for one year (not cap hell for 3...)

But drafting the punter had nothing to do with trying to win it all. It was just a bad decision!

However, I think BJ will land on his feet (at least temporarily) somewhere. Other teams have to look at him, and think there's a possibility there somewhere. I'm guessing he's picked up by the end of the week.

It is not uncommon for punters to bounce around for 3 or 4 years before getting established in the NFL. Sander could still end up with a career as a punter.
