What are "Packer People"

[RashanGary]

I think "Packer People" are hard workers who just love to play football. Moral issues arn't as important as what they bring to the field. Just rough, tough, instinctive football players. The type of player who finds a way to return a kick for a TD. A LB who always seems to win his individual battles and get to the ball. Just strait up, old school football players. I think that is Packer people.

What they do off the field is less important as what they do an it although it does play a part. Robinson is a minimum guy. We pay for his services as long as we have him and then cut him and only have to pay for the weeks we had. It's a good deal for us and he got hsi bonus from Minn.

You think that good football players are something that everyone looks for but look at Mike Sherman's drafts. I think Thompson wants to be the anti Mike Sherman when it comes to drafting and getting players. I hope anyway

i hope this signing works as well as the gil brown signing.

Re: What are "Packer People"

I've read a number of references to this term from articles last spring, and I think posters on here have a misunderstanding of how it was used.

The Packers have not used it with reference to moral character of the players. It was used to reference players that wanted to be Packers, and players that are consumed by football.

Even Koran Robinson might meet that standard. Certainly Ahman Green does, even with his problems. Cory Rodgers may have too, handgun and all.

Good, then my buddy in Cincy can still come to GB someday.

I really wish we could develope the anti-alcoholism "majic bullet". It is a pervasive condition in many places.

Isn't there supposed to be some sort of pill you can take that makes you sick as a dog if you have even one drink? Or was that for something else?

Nah, he probably doesn't want to be here, so by definition he isn't "Packer People"!

If YOU were Ted Thompson Patler that post would make sense to me.

Now of course...your not Ted Thompson... so that post makes ZERO sense to me. Maybe I'm a tad slow relative to being able to grasp your position here?

This isn't an attack on YOU Patler. As any follow - up regarding the punter thread thing of yesterday.

In fact, I went back and radically edited that post entirely with your status here " in mind " just some 10 minutes ago.

I'm not kissing YOUR ass either.

My take on Packer People. Patler:

I believe that...

"Packer people ".... has to do with people players and Coach's accepted by the GREEN BAY PACKERS and attending staff utilizing proper care, attention and overall for "the good" of the Packer team and organization. .positiveness or GOOD .

Good, as in RIGHTFUL respect and behaviour. It has to do with examining who you are in respect to putting out the time/energy and dedication needed to produce as a Packer team member and personaly through effort and reults that contribute +vely to the better whole for, not against Packer TEAM objectives and exercising proper comportment.

Packer people will not embarass themselves or the Traditions of " the Green Bay Packer Organization".

It's not about breaking any LAW's or beating up anyone or speeding in an auto while intoxicated and ever lieing or avoiding the TRUTH or consequences of that action. It's about doing RIGHT by the Green Bay Packers, as a WHOLE.

It's about... if you make a mistake? Then deal with it as necessary for YOU the player etc. but moreso with the dignity and respect for Green Bay Packer Traditions.

Packer peope are in Green Bay to carry on a tradition, of winning and service that is +ve to the Community of Green Bay Wisconsin.To continue to ensure Packer fan respect and proper pride.

Packer people will easily be respected by Packer fans. An outstanding example of what Packer People is can be found in Donald Driver.His dedication and sevice as a Packer player and how he represents himself to the community and the Packer fans at large.

The BEST Football Fans in the entire NFL, expect alot that's very very good and NO BS considering what OUR Packers are paid, to represent OUR BELOVED TEAM and the PACKER Organization.

Yes of course Packer people will excell as dedicated to improving and producing as Packers on the field.

Packer people play hard ,hit hard,run hard and play with one focus...to win regular season football games for respect of the Packer fans, who OWN the Team and all other Packer Fans from around the world.

As human beings we make errors. We screw up, but have to not be in denial of errors and ways that are wrong to destructive, and admit faults and work to change them. Packer people answer to any errors as need be.

In your explanation you give no speific definition as to what "Packer People" are?

In fact... I too have no REAL idea of what that means specifically.

I have never seen a definition of Packer People but in a sense the above covers it. I TRUST.

Woodbuck;

"Packer People" is a term that TT and MM used a number of times early this year, when MM was hired and around draft time. Just for the heck of it, I went back and re-read the quotes from them when they used the term, to see what they meant by "Packer People".

It doesn't matter what I think it SHOULD mean, what you think it SHOULD mean or what anyone else thinks it SHOULD mean. I was simply reporting how it seemed the term was being used by TT and MM. After all, that's why it hit the media, because they used it somewhat frequently for a short time.

If people want to criticize whether TT or MM has lived up to their promise to bring in "Packer People" we should do so using their definition of it, not ours. If they meet their standard, they haven't lied to us, whether or not they meet our standard. We may think their standard is inadequate, but that is a totally different question.

As a Green Bay Packer fan, I exist in a confusing time in Green Bay Packer History.

Alot of what I endure today as a Packer fan, definitely rubs me "the wrong way".

OUR TEAM is in a REAL mess.

Nah. You were around for the Forrest Gregg years. THAT was a real mess. The Packers of 2006 aren't there yet, and hopefully won't be.

The term "Packer People" as I see it, should refer to a player or coach that is "Lombardi-like", in their work ethic and in their morals, on and off the field, during the season and off season.

[MJZiggy]

Only if you keep in mind that Lombardi, though he was a great coach and GM, was no angel.

Didn't his son basically say he completely ignored his family?

1) If I just commited an extreme act of blasphamy I retract it.
2) If I'm wrong I retract it.


But I do recall hearing an interview with his son where he sort of ripped him....not real bad but enough....oh hell we all have faults so let's give the dead guy a pass. Dead legend I mean.
