Starting to appreciate what Sherman did for GB?

[SD GB fan]

hey uhh who cares? none of this matters, just watch the game and see if the packers improve or not. we are on the same side arent we?

PackerBlues - you do have to consider that the anti-Sherman people are most likely to react strongly to your post. Just on psychological reasoning alone, a lot of people felt some sort of satisfaction from Sherman getting canned. Personally, I didn't agree with Sherman's firing, but I do understand that people wanted some "action."

So...don't get discouraged by the Sherman-haters.

That's all I'm sayin'.

Then we have the guys that can not only see the future, but also know what would have happened if this had happened or if that had happened. Any of you chumps have some lottery numbers you want to share with the rest of us?

Sherman was a good coach but a lousy gm. So I am guessing you wanted TT to blow all our cap on vets in free agency for the chance to make it to the top again?

[PackerBlues]

Thanks Retailguy. Much appreciated. Heh heh.......remember when the best reason to watch the Packers was to watch the hits by Chuck Cecil? Man, what I wouldnt give to at least have a player like that on our defense. That would be something that you could call an improvement.

You didn't just start a post looking back on Sherman. If you had done just that, you might have gotten a different response. You also bashed Thompson. Personally, I'm in the middle on both guys. Sherman did some good things as coach. If you think Sherman did a good job as GM, you're nuts or you're Tank (which isn't mutually exclusive). If you think Thompson can be judged at this point (especially after the roster he inherited), you are nuts also. I think Thompson has made mistakes, but I see a lot of young guys that might turn this ship around. I'll wait until the end of next year before judging him.

I'm not a Sherman hater...but the facts are the facts.

Few coaches get blessed with a roster of talent like he had.

Few coaches get blessed with a division of misfits like the NFC North during his tenure.

Few coaches are blessed with one of the top QBs to ever play the game in the twilight of his prime.

And Sherman NEVER ONCE reached an NFC title game...let alone a Super Bowl.

He was a poor coach. He was a horrific GM.

I don't care how nice of a guy he was, or how many old ladies he helped across the street.

And don't babble on and on about comparing my job to Sherman's job. I don't earn $3M a year, especially for getting fired when I do a lousy job. There is no comparison. To whom much is given, much is required. Sherman fell woefully short.

That is just the bottom line.

Impressive?

Like your stupid little TT picture?

You are a waste of bandwidth. Honestly. I don't know how else to describe someone who is going to fish for exactly what he got...then act like he was wasn't holding the club after Nancy Kerrigan got popped.

[PackerBlues]

Awwwwww poor leaper. Did my stupid little picture of TT offend you?

Do you fawn desperate hot man-love for him? Just wondering?

[PackerTimer]

Awwwwww poor leaper. Did my stupid little picture of TT offend you?

the stupidity is astounding. you started a thread to rip on TT and praise sherman and then whine that TT supporters slam you. and then when Leaper points this out you come back with that. WOW. how sure are we that this isn't tank?

[The Leaper]

That's your best comeback? Ouch.

Sherman was a great guy. I think he did everything he could to better the team. Unfortunately, he was an incompetant GM and a lousy coach. He often looked like he was unsure of what to do...a point made all too clear in the Philly debacle.

I'm sorry...but trying to defend Sherman's record is virtually impossible IMO. I wish him the best...but I'm thankful he's not in Green Bay anymore.

Bottom line...he was fired and there were NUMEROUS openings in the NFL and few experienced options available. Did he get a job? If he was so good as a coach, as you suggest, he would've gotten a job.

Re: Starting to appreciate what Sherman did for GB?

Then we have people still cryin about using a 3rd round pick on a punter.......ok, I was one of em.....but, I still think that was a move that was made due to salary cap problems more than anything.

This is fucking hilarious......

[PackerTimer]

i also found that funny. drafting a punter (trading up to draft said punter) because you can't afford anybody better. and he wasn't even a good punter. how is this an effective argument in defense of the GM who did it?

[The Leaper]

Drafting a punter in the 3rd round is FAR MORE EXPENSIVE than picking up a couple as undrafted FAs and letting them battle it out.

It had NOTHING to do with the salary cap...and everything to do with Sherman being a piss poor GM.

I enjoy it when nutcases like this make the arguments AGAINST their own viewpoint. Highly enjoyable reading.

Re: Starting to appreciate what Sherman did for GB?

Ok, only time will tell just how much we should or should not have appreciated Shermans time in GB as a coach and GM.

Time, as in nap time?
