MORENCY CARRIES BAGGAGE

[Harlan Huckleby]

By bringing in Mossy Cade types, TT is turning us back into the Siberia of the NFL.

We don't know that he is a Mossy Cade type.

Apparently innocent until PROVEN guilty is not how some people view things in here.

A court of law is not the same thing as the court of public opinion. And no such standard exists in the court of public opinion.

scott, although i'm not sure if it was your intention, that's the best indictment of public opinion i've heard in a long time.

to simplify matters i suggest before draft time we brand a scarlet "t" on the foreheads of all the people who've done something illegal in the their pre-nfl years? i wonder how many players would be at the combine with clean foreheads then?

Maybe you're right and they should have made OJ the new NFL Commissioner.

Just because something hasn't been proven in a court of law, it doesn't mean you can't take it into consideration when evaluating players. You use the best available information.

Gado had a nice smile and helped me across the street once. He was such a nice boy.

But Donovan, TO is so talented.

Hee Hee! Wouldn't it have been sweet if everyone had passed on TO this year. Just to see him have to sit out the entire year, doing situps in his front yard would have been funny. Next question!

I hope that everyone in here that gets all worked up over this, gets just as riled up over all the local people in their community that are raped, abused, assaulted, robbed, etc.

Sparkey:

My reaction has nothing to dio with Vernand Morency's guilt or innocense as the matter never went to trial.

My issue is with OUR GM, who comes off acting like some idiot too often in the media... when he is quoted.

If you are the GM of the Green Bay Packers?

Do you up and trade one of only two bright spots,the feel good story possibly of the entire NFL in 2005 and the man described as the ultimate sleeper pick in NFL FF in 2005?

Trade SAMKON GADO for another RB with a checker'd past... without exercising some prudence, as in, a personal contact with Vernand Morency? To see who he is today and just maybe tap into his psyche a tad?

Who would make such a trade as Ted Thompson did in the manner he did? and make such ridiculously embarassing statements as we see in the article?

I'm having trouble with the way TT handles situations and question both acquisitions TT made this week (Koren Robinson as a FA and Vernand Morency via trade) ...

based on - ve baggage, that may still be with each of them today?

It's Ted Thompson's place to handle situations alot better than he demonstrated with both of these new Packers.

Ted Thompson does Dick All... when it's perfectly obvious we are " in screaming for HELP, MODE " and suddenly something triggers him as in some knee jerk reaction (to whatever) and he brings in two men with obvious problems in their past.

That fact of life for these people just can't be swept under the mat as Ted Thompson appears to me to do in these two acquisitions.

A GM must not act too slowly, nor in the other direction... act too frivously to enhance or encourage success.

We seem to like these types of players

[Bretsky]

I'm going to give our GM some time building the team before completely judging him. That being said, I didn't think he needed to completely gut this team. But he has. And as a result we have little chance of success this year. Maybe his strategy, if it remains the same, will give us greater success in the future after a few high draft pick seasons. But I can't cheer for the team to fail so my views on TT are based on the now rather than the later.

So far my view of him is that he is better than average on the draft and borderline fool with managing players with disputes and and free agency. The latter view stems as a result of his perceived lack of effort in dealing with Javon Walker and how he chose to use the 35MIL we had going into this year for free agency.

The NFL has a term for that process. It's called tampering.
