Put up or Shut up

[mraynrand]

Yup, I meant Lang. My point and I've made it before. When you have the crown jewels (Rodgers) you use the best damn safe money can buy to protect them. Plus you make sure there is a decent back up plan should that safe fail. Now granted no one could see the injuries coming. But putting faith in Bulaga and letting Lang walk were mistakes. IMO letting Tretter go was also a mistake. They want to let underperforming overpaid players go, they should have let Clay go.

Well, they didn't really put faith in Bulaga, they drafted Spriggs and Murphy. You can hold them accountable for that not working out, but not for the injuries.

I would say that Taylor was a fine replacement for Sitton - until the injury - not only was he playing well at guard, but he did a nice job out at tackle when they were down there.

Tretter is up and down for the Browns. They are not all that happy with his strength, even at center.

Lang got tackle money. I just don't think you spend money there with his injury history, but hell, what can I say when everyone is injured? The only guy who isn't is Lang's replacement!

T.J. Lang was blocking well yet getting penalized (arguably too much) and not particularly pleased with his start with the Lions and then.... this:

Did this back issue start while he was playing for us? If so I can see why Ted and company declined to match the offer Lang received from Detroit.

Shhh. Don't spoil the narrative that this is M3's only chance to prove he's capable without Rodgers and mitigating circumstances be damned.

You can take in all the mitigating factors. I didn't say it was his only chance, I said it was finally a chance to see.

[mraynrand]

I thought Stubby coaching Favre was his chance to prove he was capable without Rodgers.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I suspect Arod's injury will affect our chances to win.

I agree with you. I was thinking in general about all the hubbub around the interwebs about this. Most people aren't being even handed.

No, if Hundley plays really well, they'll just say MM lucked into another great QB. After all Brady was a 5th round pick as well.

Any idiot could have drafted Hundley in Round 5! He fell into their lap!

Yes it did.

Sort of like Arod.

BTW, am I the only one who notes the strong facial resemblance between Rodgers and Alex Smith. Shit, they look like twins to me.

[mraynrand]

Do they both have metallic, mint-green Buick Skylarks?

I've always thought they bear an uncanny resemblance to each other.

I know what you are trying to say but Brady was taken in the 6th if memory serves.

Nope. Living off the awesome success that was mike sherman.
