Who Your Favorite Hapless Packer

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The flat out shittiest starter ever was the Hall of Fame linebacker from Tampa. He came for one year and was way over the hill. What the fuck is his name - he is a college coach now. Hardy Nickerson.

No Sherman acquisition was ever shitty.

Want short-term shitty acquisitions? Marquand Manuel, current DC of the Falconerds. And that center who migrated from the Colts; dude got benched in the Green and Gold and still made the pro bowl that season.

Thanks Todd.

Oh him. Ya, he was bad. His wheels weren't flat, they had fallen off.

If you want to frighten yourself, think of every glowing thing you have read about Tramontana in the offseason so far this year. Local ESPN radio was all aglow that all the new, young DBs were learning from such a crafty veteran and his presence was going to save the D backfield this year. He'd teach them film study, how to recognize offenses, tricks of the trade. They were convinced that each young DB has said meeting Tramontana was the best thing that had ever happened to their pro careers.

Everything said about Tramon was also said by much the same group of media about Hardy Nickerson. It hasn't yet occurred to them about a young player unwillingness to say something that sounds bad about a beloved veteran. Even Damarious Randall took shots at players younger than him.

Willard Harrell. I thought he was sucking with the Packers for longer than the 3 years he did. Probably because he was stinking up Lambeau when I first started watching football. I'm amazed that he played for 7 seasons after the Packers cut him. He was the first player I remember being really happy that the Packers cut.

Travis Jervey If for calling Holmgren Coach Dude and trying to co-buy a lion alone.

that guy played 9 seasons in the NFL (mostly ST). I probably got to see his best game as a pro 'running back' - 90+ yards and a TD against SF in 1998. Great game. Kind of a poor man's Jarret Bush.

You are a moron.

Joe Johnson DE, one of the worst FA acquisitions in Packer history.

Howzzat for shitty?

Meh. He was a bad punter for 1 year.

If you want to go for specialists, may I suggest Eddie Garcia. He was drafted in 82 as a big leg replacement for 40 year old Jan Stenerude. But Stenerude stuck around for 2 more years until the Packers cut him in 84. That year Jan went to the pro bowl, and Garcia went 3 for 9 in 7 games before they cut his ass and picked up Al Del Greco.

Fine candidates, all!

APB posted his usual idiocy about Sherman’s greatness. I posited Sander not as an exemplar of a hapless Packer but of Sherman’s incompetence as a GM. My bad for being unclear. I took the Bards “Brevity is the soul of wit” to far.

This shook something loose...I want to change my answer to Justin Harrell. 4 years and a SB ring. 14 games and 28 tackles from a guy who wore Reggie White's number at Tennessee. His inability to get on the field was also a big part of why KGB was brought back for that final, awful year.

Dave Peurifoy. Or however he spelled it.

But weren't they all pretty much hapless when Bart coached them?

So, really, Bart-as-coach. Joe Montana? No thanks, we prefer Rich Campbell. Bart was an awful, awful coach and player evaluator. A great human being, a superb quarterback, but a hapless coach.

Ole Joe was indeed a hapless Packer. When he was in the arena, with the sand beneath his feet, he displayed flashes of greatness. Alas, he was wounded too often that he rarely was in the arena while donning the Green and Gold.

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