You want another shot, you got it pal! HA HA.Originally posted by BradStrand
Everyone else? You think I am the only one who believes that TT f'd up?
Let me make this very clear. GMs should use EVERY means possible to build a team. I agree that Snyder is a moron. I get that. But TT cant rely on the draft alone. He has to dip in FA too.
Oh, I am sorry, you're right. JAMES JONES is also in the running to become the next great #3 WR. How could I forget him? Damn!
Like I said before, we'll just have to agree to disagree.Comment

Favre lost a lot of playoff games with teams taht did everythign they could to field a winner. He had just as much of a chance as Brady or Manning. He didn't cash in, Brady did and it looks like Manning will more than once too.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Favre should just retire. He's obviously not happy. He had his chance, he failed. Time for the next guy. Either that or shut up and play.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

PACKERS SCRAMBLE TO DOUSE FLAMING FANS
At a time when wildfires have been raging in several corners of the nation, there's a conflagration that currently is consuming Packer nation.
And the front office knows it.
Why else would the team put out an "all is well" press release on Mother's Day?
"We are optimistic about the 2007 season," Thompson said in the team-issued Sunday statement. "We feel like we've had a great offseason program -- our guys are getting bigger and stronger -- and we'll improve from within. We're also excited about the players we've added through the draft and what those players will bring to our team."
Thompson also addressed the recent comments of quarterback Brett Favre, who expressed dissatisfaction about the team's failure to land Randy Moss.
"I think it's natural for a player to be frustrated from time to time -- that's simply being human," said Thompson. "Everyone knows that Brett Favre is all about winning. As an organization, we share that commitment. And we want to win now."
And Thompson provided a carefully-crafted non-answer to the question of whether, as Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reported earlier in the day, Favre has asked for a trade.
"We never comment on the talks we have with our players or with their agents, in line with the long-standing policy of our organization. We try to encourage open and honest dialogue with players and their agents. But if those talks later are shared with third parties, the willingness of players to be open in future conversations may be compromised."
Possible translation: "Yes, but because Brett currently has a literal and figurative hold on the nutsack of the front office, we don't want to take any chances that he might decide to squeeze even harder than he already has."
In our view, this Mother's Day missive is a desperate act from an organization that is facing a revolt from its fan base. And we're even more convinced that either Favre or Thompson will be not with the team come September. Given that the franchise is publicly owned, we wouldn't be surprised if someone were to file a shareholder's action aimed at forcing the team to have the same kind of accountability that would exist if there was a real owner calling the shots.
For his part, Favre is trying to help put out the fire. The post on his official site regarding rumors of Favre wanting a trade, which were confirmed by board administrator "DavidPHX," has been deleted. And DavidPHX has posted the following message: "Brett has asked that we all tone down the articles and any dislikes for management. He does not want his site to fuel rumors. Ted Thompson is his boss and we need to tone everything down. I believe the situation is over with. Brett vented said what he wanted and I believe management has heard. Brett loves the Green Bay Packers and has always felt we have the best fans in the WORLD . I expect Brett to return as the starting QB for the Green Bay Packers on September 9. Go Packers!"
Still, Favre is the one who has started this mess, both by privately asking to be traded and by publicly making his displeasure known. It's a storm of unprecedented proportion for the Packers, and we don't think the situation is going to get better any time soon. The only person to benefit from this brouhaha might be receiver Keyshawn Johnson, who could end up getting a lucrative offer to join the team in light of the fact that he's the only potential impact player who is on the market right now.Comment

Randy McMichael, Randy Moss (trade), Willis McGahee (trade), Donte Stallworth, Adalias Thomas, Travis Henry, Ken Hamlin, Roderick Hood, and Drew Bennett are all players that TT could have signed to improve this team. There are others, but I am not going to list every FA at every position. And I am not saying to sign all of these players. But a couple would have been nice.
We have HUGE holes at the following positions:
1. Pass catching TE
2. #3 (maybe even #2) WR - although I do like Jennings a lot.
3. FB
4. Vet. RB
5. 3rd CB
6. Strong Safety
7. DE depth
8. SLB - maybe Poppinga is the answer.
But you are right, none of those positions could have upgraded via free agency. We should just sit on the cash.Comment
