Gado traded

I hope Gado kicks ass in Texas.

I'm glad he landed in TX and not med school...still,

[OS PA]

I'll miss the man, but it'll fun to see him featured again. Good player, good character, great heart, all around good human being. He should start for them and put up decent numbers.

Good luck Samkon, you gave us something to feel good about in the midst of a 4-12 season. Best of luck with Carr and co.

Hello new guy, make sure you arent roomed up with Koren on the road!

All emotions aside, Gado stunk this year. So we got something for a guy who was having too hard of a time adjusting to our system to contribute.
I'm not excited about it, but I do think we gained a heck of a lot more potential help than we were going to get.

FOR the first time B. I must disagree with you.

Who here will admit, that just maybe, the reason that Gado never got on track this Off Season was because the ZBS isn't working in Green Bay to date.

OUR OL is very bad,B. Even Tauscher and Clifton look ordinary to bad.They are already burning out.

In Houston the OL is also Bad. If the OL is bad few RB's will look comfortable more less thrive.

Ahman Green had an extraordinary game in a losing cause against a really tough BEAR "D" for reasons that are unusual to me, except that he's an awesome RB with skills and experience.

We lost this trade.

THIS YEAR:

I watched as Gado was hesitant to run towards the LOS.
I watched as Gado looked like he was wearing cement boots returning kicks.
I watched Gado prove is inability to play FB.

So, to sum it up. He looked slow, indecisive and did not have versatility.

I hope he does well in Houston, but I like Morency as a player better.

I DONT UNDERSTAND, Gado > Noah..... I am a bigger fan of Gado then Noah, and Noah has not proved anything, why is this guy our backup??

Haven't you heard? We're not supposed to understand what's going on anymore.
I couldn't believe it when I heard Sam Gado had been traded. I know he wasn't exactly a shining star in TC but I figured M3 would give him more leeway. Of course he wasn't here last fall to see Sam wow everyone with some of those running plays.

[HarveyWallbangers]

You trade to upgrade your team, this guy couldn't beat out a rookie!

And Samkon Gado couldn't beat out Noah Herron.

I love how some of the Texans fans are like "this Gado is a beast and fast... we pulled one over on the Packers."

Gado looked solid last year. He looked like a different back this year. He could have been a 6 game wonder or a bad fit for the system. Whatever! I hope both guys perform well with their new teams.

I doubt the decision was made by McCarthy. Thompson isn't going to give McCarthy a player he doesn't want, but a move like this is the GM's call.

AMEN ! I'll miss him too....

[Joemailman]

I'm def going to miss Gado. He was one of the few bright spots about last season. But, that was last season and we must move on and just wish him well.

I am not sure how good the Texas OL is, but I'm sure it's an improvement over what he has here.

Good luck Samkon

Actually Michele, the Houston OL has been a full-blown disaster the last 2 years. David Carr has been running for his life. I don't know what they did to upgrade it in the off-season. Gado just wasn't cutting it here this year. I agree though, that he was one of the few bright spots in a dark season last year. For that he will be fondly remembered.

[Zool]

If this move means we NEVER EVER have Noah returning kicks again, its worth it. I would assume he will be activated for this weekends game? Would be dangerous or outright stupid to go into a game with 2RB and 1(maybe)FB.

[Joemailman]

Yes, I believe Herrin is considered to be the backup fullback.

[VegasPackFan]

It just seems to me that we have absolutley nothing at RB anymore except Green.

He goes down and you can forget any run game.

It will take a while for this new guy to learn our offense too.

[J-Rok]

Don't worry. We never get injured. Nothing to worry about.

[Guiness]

Cool - I've got Morency in my FF pool - I was just thinking it was weird for me not to have a single Packer on my team. Problem is, this lowers his value - I figured he'd replace Lundy within a couple of weeks

Saw that he played in the Colorado Rockies minor league system for 4 years, and was drafted 2 years ago? How old is this guy???
