I'm NOT negative.

Please elaborate on the because I'm Canadian I'm going to be negative Bullshit.

On second thought rather piss on a stump.

You Canadians sure do have interesting ways to spend your time up there...

[imscott72]

LOL, its hard to even come in here and read posts anymore. Woodbuck and his constant negativity. Hey Woodbuck, you never did share with us how you'd run the team by the way..People absolutely freaking out on a daily basis because we haven't spent all of our cap room already. Take it easy people, take some meds for goodness sakes..lol, stress kills...If we get Moss, we get Moss. If we don't we don't...Somethin tells me there will still be football next season in Green Bay...

I am not about constant negativity Man.

It appears a moi that 'in fact' it may be YOU that needs to take a pill, LOL.

Your the man 'on point' arn't YOU. Be fair Packer fan.

Some that I post may be tongue in cheek. Do we have to be serious all the time?

If I'm called upon seriously to back up my position I do just that with the facts and reasoning based on possible scenarios. Again, merley based upon what I can garner as a fan.

I read as much as possible to stay on top of it all. It's not as if I'm in here to just spout off to annoy posters.

imscott72:

If I'm so annoying to YOU, then please simply ignore my posts. I won't feel insulted with that result.

Your telling me to be a fair Packer fan? Aren't you the one that called TT an idiot? And what facts do you present with your arguments? All you say is that TT sucks and the team will suck over and over. I've been asking you for days to present your ideas on how TT should run the team, but I get no response. A man with so many complaints should at least have an idea of what should be done correct?

If you want to drum up possible scenerios, why not one like, TT might actually put together a competitive team this year if we give him half a chance? A negative post once in awhile isn't going to affect anyone, but people tend to gravitate away from people that are constantly negative. In other words, BE HAPPY!!!

The only thing they want is for TT to spend money. They don't care on where or who, just spend it somewhere. Every FA that is available should be signed. I mean, what the hell, we have the money to throw at every second rate player out there.

Re: Moss Will Not Be A Packer!!!

A lot of you are talking in here like Moss is already on the roster. I have news for you, it ain't gonna happen. Al Davis has way to high a price in his head and TT is a tight ass. I'm not saying that i don't like the prospect of him on the Packers and actually finishing routes, I do, but its not going to happen. The Raiders and Packers have both stated that there have been no disussions regarding Moss, so wake up people!!!

Although I agree that TT has a tight ass and needs to be cornholed, Al Davis is an idiot. If there is a deal to be made for Moss after stripping our offense, TT will make it. If he goes into the season 10 Mil under the cap again, don't be surprised if it's TT's last season with Green Bay. I am not saying run out and sign all these FA's. None of them has really caught my attention. I am more floored at how much some teams are overpaying mediocre players. I especially like it when a 4-3 defense signs an LB from a 3-4 defense and assumes is apples to apples. I for one am glad we haven't signed anyone on the market. I would like to see us try to trade for Tatum Bell but I don't see Detroit making that move to a team they face twice a year. As far as the draft, I see TT giving up the first pick for more draft choices. Everyone is all over the draft this year and to be honest, there isn't an instant difference maker like Reggie Bush in the first round. Brady Quinn is the most NFL ready selection and he will fall in the draft. Maybe TT will give up a 1st rounder for Moss, who knows. I expect Al Davis to make a deal that he thinks is awesome but as Packer Fans, we know he got the shaft.

My response to you imscott72:

I posted this yesterday.

The Green Bay Packers players have to be scrupulously evaluated for cost Vs talent (contribution) to enable an upgrade of OUR team and it's future.The deadwood has to be cut.

This was in my E-Mail fr. Packers.Com this AM:

COACHING STAFF STAYING A STEP AHEAD

It's a new and different off-season for the Green Bay Packers coaching
staff.

Now that they've been together for essentially a full year, the coaches
don't have any less work to do. But the responsibilities have changed from a year ago to the extent that their focus has shifted from the building and
installation of 2006 to the potential progress and improvement in 2007, providing a palpable upbeat nature to the upcoming off-season program and college draft.

"We didn't do scheme evaluations last year of how we performed,
analyzing plays and things of that nature, because we were building a playbook," offensive line coach James Campen said.

"Now it's fun to be able to evaluate your own
guys and see them working within an offense. Instead of speculating on a lot of people,we can see the offense, how it works, and how to make corrections."

The same goes for the defense, which has gone through the same thorough scheme evaluation. And whereas last year a playbook was being developed by defensive coordinator Bob Sanders and his staff based on the scheme of Sanders' mentor, Jim Bates, this year there's a more established foundation for how everything will work.

"Your telling me to be a fair Packer fan? Aren't you the one that called TT an idiot? And what facts do you present with your arguments? All you say is that TT sucks and the team will suck over and over." inscott72

Now dig into my posts imscott72 and prove that 'in fact' I've posted the words,as YOU put it:

TT sucks

I have never posted those words; 'in fact' I do believe that overall he is doing as well as we might reasonably expect, given the conditions presented to him.

From an article on OUR situation at RB.We are now aware that Ted Thompson was comfortable with OUR RB's and willing to part with Ahman Green, if he wouldn't agree to a one year contract at about $5 million. As a Packer fan I don't share that comfort.

I do feel that Ahman Green got a sweet deal that Ted Thompson would have extended himself to match.Still I posted that some Packer fans would suffer that loss and I'm one of them.

Secondly on the above I didn't post that Ted Thompson is an idiot.

In fairnes to you, that may have been inferred, but it's not my style to lower myself to namecalling. Again read my posts for verification of that otherwise.

Please re-read that post where I use the word idiot in reference to an East Indian pronouncing that word then maybe you'll get the joke.We have a commercial that runs alot here in Canada for Doritos Corn chips that I'm thinking of when I made that comment.

It was merely a joke imscott72.

I have admitted that I have dificulty with Ted Thompson's style, but I wouldn't expect that the General Manager of the Green Bay packers is an idiot.

"A man with so many complaints should at least have an idea of what should be done correct?" imscott72

Where am I complaining imscott72?

My posts overwhelmingly are directed at why Ted Thompson hasn't made a splash in FA. I have developed scenarios that justify his direction; never as I re-call posted that he should go after this or that free agent this of season.

I'm growing to understand Ted Thompson more and I'll admit that has been a struggle for me. Certain members of this forum have enabled that growth in me.

This will be a season for evaluating the Packers and not throwing money to waste or good into bad. The consequences of that may show up as a negative in the win - loss column. Time will tell but I trust that Ted Thompsons plan will in the long term render much to cheer about as Packer fans.

I trust that my position is clearer to you with this post and to the forum.

GO PACK GO !

"Although I agree that TT has a tight ass and needs to be cornholed,"

Wow. So how do you feel about TT's mouth?

This is a crazy thread.

[imscott72]

if ur so tough, come on up here buddy.. mine werent fighting words but since ur such a tough guy u can make the trip.. my point was theres NO evidence either way to support any of you clowns.. not just u or me..

I rest my case on the quality of posts here lately...

[woodbuck27]

You Canadians sure do have interesting ways to spend your time up there...

Whatever that means.

Here's an affirmation to your question of who oversee's the CAP on the Packers:

Q?: One of the things the Packers have mostly done the last 15 years is stay competitive with the changing of rosters. Is the key to staying successful being fiscally responsible?

Answer by Andrew Brandt:

A lot is made of cap room, and how much cap room there is. It's really a fluid figure. There have been points in my career where we've had very little cap room, but made very big signings at the same time. When we signed (defensive end) Joe Johnson, who was one of our biggest free agent signings, we were very much against the cap. It's really business decisions more than cap room. It's my responsibility to make the cap work and it was working then and now and hopefully it always works.
