    The injury thing is a constant reminder of how lucky we are to have Eddie Lacy. I find it sort of cowardly the way Pitt and Den leaked the reasons they did not draft Lacy. If they were confident in their decisions, they would have been fine keeping their mouths shut, and respecting a players health confidentiality. Being they're not, they'll forego a little common courtesy to the end of hedging their bet.

    They know they will look like baffoons if Lacy blows up and has a great NFL career, and the fact that one of the best teams in the league drafted him makes them scared it's already true.

    Eddie Lacy is a fuckin beast. He's a natural runner. He's big. He's tough. He plays that way. And everyone knows it. The only thing people didn't know about Eddie Lacy was if his health would hold up. He's not the AP homerun threat, but his talent is one of the better bets in this whole draft.
    Completely agree. My only issue is the dancing which is easily correctable.

    Other teams mention this stuff because the fan base wonders why this type of first round talent from a national championship team is passed on.

    Please note from the podcast, McGinn is unthrilled by the pick due to the Packer paranoia about injuries.

      The Packers paranoia about injuries, or Mr. McGinn's?

        - I know it's been covered in another thread, but glad to hear Datko is healed up and ready to compete this year. IIRC he was better at LT than RT last year, so he could backup Bulaga -- or if the OL shuffle experiment fails and they move them back -- press Newhouse for starting spot.

        - B.J.Coleman showing improvement. I think he'll push Harrell and ultimately win the #2 job. Unless Harrell plays like a Hasselbeck in preseason, he will continue to look like JAG and scare fans about being one injury away from going 4-12.

              I think its McGinn's paranoia. The Packers didn't draft as if they have paranoia about injuries.

                Which other drafted players have an injury history like Lacy?

                  BTW did you listen to the podcast before you make a definitive statement?

                    The podcast didn't change my mind about who the Packers drafted, their injury histories, etc.

                      By the way, what definitive statement? I wrote, "I think ......."
                      Just an opinion piece.

                        We are only talking about Lacy -- please stop being a politician.

                          Don't they average one injury history guy per year?

                          2012 - Mike Daniels
                          2011 - ???
                          2010 - Mike Neal
                          2009 - Jamon Meredith
                          2008 - ???
                          2007 - Justin Harrell
                          2006 - either Blackmon or Rodgers got hurt in college I recall
                          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                            Lacy is enough, but my opinion is also based on their drafting of Jones.
                            First two picks, both with injury histories. That's some demonstration of organizational paranoia on injuries going into the draft.

                              Shouldn't Bobbo's understanding of the Packers paranoia about injuries make him MORE thrilled Lacy since he must be healthy?

                              Or is Bob still claiming the Packer's blew the trade downs and the pick and ended up with someone they actually did not want?
