    hapless [hap-lis] (adjective): unlucky; luckless; unfortunate.

    Sounds like you could be talking about Justin Harrell.

      Harrell didn't show fuck the rare times we saw him dance in the arena. Ole Joe could pressure the QB.

        When he wasn't Old Joe he could. Harrell had 1/2 again as many tackles in the same timeframe as ol' Joe (2 years). Plus WAY more assists.

        Never has a player gotten more run from 2 sacks in 11 games than Joe Johnson from Tank.
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

          "Pressures" aren't always recorded correctly or at all. KGB, even in the season in which Todd incompetently cut him at the midpoint (his last game in the Green and Gold was impressive) and Ole Joe were pretty good at pressuring QBs.

          Any defender who can pressure the QB into getting rid of the rock prematurely is doing his job.

                ESTUS HOOD and BRAD JONES....those guys somehow played a lot and were just horrid
                TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                  I have a soft spot for the failed free agents, especially name players. Jeff Saturday deserves dishonorable mention.

                  What about Martellus Bennett. Too soon to discuss?

                  John Hadl was very special indeed.

                    All good choices as hapless, but they really didn't stick around Green Bay all that long.

                    Hadl is a truly special case: If I had been in Ghostbusters and had to choose the form of the destructor, I would have thought of John Hadl.

                      Yeah. Those FA’s are just mistakes. They don’t quite fit the criteria set by the OP.

                      What about Brian Noble? Iirc he was actually fairly decent but that may have been in comparison to the weak teams he was on.....

                        If Brett Hundley somehow sticks around, he could one day aspire to making this list.

                          Although Chester Marcol was a good kicker for a couple of years, for that time period, he always seemed terribly hapless. Probably the glasses and the bumbling touchdown run he had when one of his kicks was blocked.

                            Brian Noble was a heck of an ILB in a 3-4. It's a shame he's not in the Packers HOF. If he had played on better teams, I believe he would be. He played on a lot of bad teams and then suffered a career-ending knee injury in 1993 just as the Packers were turning things around under Holmgren. He does not belong in this thread.

                              A bumbling touchdown run is preferable to a graceful fumble.

                                Probably because he was drunk during the games?
                                But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
