    lol... yeah, I'm cranky these days

    And now that the draft is over??

    Fucking hate it... We're a worse football team today than we were at the end of last year, and we weren't good enough last year. Have to hope everyone else regressed more than we did.

      Saxton = 6'3" 248, 4.65 40, 4.49 shuttle, 7.29 3 cone, 36" vert, 119" broad, 19 bench
      Backman = 6'3" 243, 4.66 40, 4.49 shuttle, 7.23 3 cone, 35.5" vert, 117" broad, 17 bench
      2 benches short of the PS.
      One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      • Flying thru this thread... are you guys in the middle of a prozac party??

        Good God - every pick is a future HOF'er??

        This is a shitty draft - does next to nothing to help us this year, and long term most of those guys are question marks.

        I like Rollins, and I like Montgomery (as a player, not the pick necessarily). Ryan isn't the answer at ILB, and you'll all be cursing Randall every time he slips off a tackle and allows unnecessary yards, or dives at a guys ankles and comes up empty. Jon Gruden said when they announced the pick - "... the guy can't tackle" - that shows up on tape over and over again...

        • Why would TT draft a DB who can't tackle? Seems like a conspiracy.

            We really care what Gruden thinks about our pick? Dude is good with QBs, but he's never been a guy that can reasonably analyze defensive talent. He's convinced Trae Waynes is gonna be a bust because he watched a few minutes of tape and decided he's a poor tackler. I'll trust Ted and the front office over him.

              I think you have said something similar for the last few years. It's amazing we can even field a team.

                          Actually Florio laid out how he should be sitting pretty in three years by not getting drafted. Supposedly his agent admitted he'll sign with someone now.

                            That's a glowing review compared to your extensive and totally prescient prognosis of 2013.

                            Packers 2013 Draft Class
                            1. Datone Jones
                            2. Eddie Lacy
                            4. David Bakhtiari
                            4. J.C. Tretter
                            4. Jonathan Franklin
                            5. Micah Hyde
                            5. Josh Boyd
                            6. Nate Palmer
                            7. Charles Johnson
                            7. Kevin Dorsey
                            7. Sam Barrington

                            After 2 years, probably ends up as top 2 or 3 TT draft classes...

                            All TT accomplished with this draft is bottom of the roster churn.

                            This draft, outside of Jones, did nothing to improve the team in either the short, or long term. TT is going to do the same thing next year, and the year after, on and on... and we will perpetually reside at the level of a 2nd tier playoff team.

                            The SB was, in fact, "a fart in the wind", and we really aren't a serious contender.
                            ….
                            What TT did in the 2013 draft was nothing short of moronic. I really do believe that Schneider, McKenzie, and Dorsey were the voice of reason in his ear, and now that they're gone there's no one there to stop him from doing stupid shit.

                            Now that's a draft.

                            I can only imagine how much laughter there had to be in their 'war room' everytime they scammed TT - truly a pathetic display by TT this weekend

                            Add it all up, and we are a deeply flawed, underpowered team that has an all-pro QB slinging the ball and masking the teams shortcomings.

                            The Packers roster is just a basketcase - what a mess.


                            [The wist report on Eddie Lacy]

                            You mean, Mr. Cementshoes Lacy?? The slog-footed slug from Alabama??
                            That's a terrible pick...

                            absolutely hate this pick.

                            Horrible, horrible pick.

                            This guy is a led-footed piece of shit.

                            This is saying a lot, b/c Ted has drafted some real turds - but this is Ted's worst draft pick ever.

                            TT just spent a 2nd round pick on 730 yds and 7 TD's.

                            I really didn't think Ted would be dumb enough to do this... so I never really considered this possibility.

                            Just wow

                            [Upon a Ted trade-back to pick up additional players]

                            Ted is just givin shit away, lol

                            Well, TT made a mess of the 2nd round... I'm sure he can pull it off again.

                            Can anyone say - "Soft Offensive Lineman"??

                            This officially TT's worst draft - tomorrow he'll draft 8 super soft offensive linemen that have a lot of "versitility"... they just need to get stronger

                            Do you really think 12 7th round draft choices can elevate the Packers past the Niners, Seahawks, Giants, Redskins, Falcons, and now probably the Vikings??

                            The 49er's really had a great offseason - they are better now than they were 2 months ago. We are worse.

                            We're now officially a 2nd tier team, and given the poor condition of our roster, with only more slugs to come... we're likely stuck on this 2nd level for a while.

                            [The wist report on Bakh and Tretter]
                            woo hoo!!!!

                            Two man-boobed, "underdeveloped", "needs to get stronger", "mobile", "versatile"

                            LOL

                            A leopard don't change his spots.

                            What a disaster of a draft.

                            TT is just replacing previously drafted/street FA softies. Year after year, all he's doing is churning the bottom quarter of the roster over and over.

                            [The wist report on Franklin pick]

                            We already had him on the roster - Dujuan Harris.

                            I guess Harris is back to selling cars

                            Relax - America has 400 million FA's to choose from.

                            Yeah, this draft is officially a complete disaster.

                            Maybe loosing McKenzie, Dorsey, Schneider, et al really is going to cause the Packer front office to implode??

                            This draft is straight out of the looney bin... maybe those guys kept Ted from hurting himself with sharp objects??

                            They're roster churning replacements for bottom feeder guys that TT has on the conveyor belt out of town; and for bottom feeder replacement guys - Benson and Harris look a lot like Lacy and Franklin.

                            Even if they're okay players - it's a waste - b/c Benson and Harris produced good enough. Why spend a 2nd and a 4th+ on players who are about the same as the guys they're replacing - while at the same time, you have other areas of the roster that are a complete joke??

                            Absolutely love the 49er's draft

                            Just took Marcus Lattimore - wow are they doing an awesome job!!
                            [Lattimore is out of the league]

                            It's usually what they do... try 'em at T until they fail there. Coach 'em up for a year at G - then cut 'em for Ted's next 6th round draft choice.

                            Rinse. Repeat.

                            No excuse for what TT has done these 3 days... I'm beginning to think that McKenzie, Dorsey, and Schneider were the voices of reason in TT's ear, and with those guys gone, TT is running up and down the halls with a bubble blaster.

                            Even if these guys make the roster, and eventually progress to having a role on the team - that's 2-3 years down the line... while this year, all TT is doing is pushing his previous crop of ne'er-do-wells off the roster.

                            So while TT is drafting guys today, in hopes that they will contribute in 3 years; SF, Minn, Sea, et al are reloading their guns and leaving us for dead.

                            This draft is really gonna set us back...

                            It's becoming pretty obvious that Schneider, Dorsey, and McKenzie were the brains behind TT's previous drafts - this is TT's first draft without the training wells there to support him, and he's fallen flat on his face.

                            Just a disaster of a draft.

                            [The wist report on Boyd]
                            Boyd fits the Packer criteria for DT's - can't get off blocks, can't hold up to double teams, can't 2-gap, and is underpowered.

                            He'll likely make the team b/c there isn't much competition - then TT will draft another version of Boyd in 2 years, and he will be moved off the roster.

                            Where are they going to play him??

                            Does he just move CJ Wilson off the roster??

                            So...
                            - we've drafted a Benson clone to replace him - Lacy
                            - we've drafted a Harris clone to replace him - Franklin
                            - we've drafted a CJ Wilson clone to replace him - Boyd

                            Look out Frisco - we be bad!!!!


                            TT passed up numerous chances to draft potential difference makers who could move into the lineup and upgrade us immediately at a position - but he doesn't do that. He says he wants to draft guys that will be good 2-3 years down the line.

                            Who knows, maybe frisco will come back to us in 3 years... and the Islamic guy will actually be in our starting lineup, woo hoo!!!

                            [The wist report on Barrington]
                            Just looked up the LB'er turd TT drafted - CBS had him ranked as the 593rd player, LOL

                            TT - you go girl!!!

                            This just keeps gettin worser and worser... amazing to watch TT operate, lol

                            What are the odds that Mr. 4.91 forty, is nothing more than training camp fodder, special teams fodder, or practice squad fodder??

                            We already have 68 guys like Bearington.

                            Can you redraft a guy after you cut him??

                            TT's drafts are beginning to take on a comedic quality - next year, we can add at least 7 or 8 of these 10 picks to the scrap heep - and the other 2 or 3 can be added the next year.

                            Wow

                            Typical Ted draft... I think he's being paid cash under the table, and is running a Fight Club like training camp for the Arena League - that explains why he needs the all the bodies. Kind of like the Running Man - that's where Caleb Schlauderaff is right now.

                            Yeah, "versatility" has served us well hasn't it?? Everyone agrees that Green Bay has now, and has had for years, a lot of problems on the OL. This nonsense has been going on for 8 years now - we've never had a good line since TT has been here.
