  • Packers Release Babb!!!!!

    Packers release quarterback Babb

    The Packers this week released undrafted rookie quarterback Jerry Babb, according to transaction wires sent to NFL teams.

    The move leaves the Packers with four quarterbacks on their roster: Starter Brett Favre, backup Aaron Rodgers, second-year pro Ingle Martin and undrafted rookie Paul Thompson.

    Babb, who played collegiately at Lousiana-Lafayette, signed with the Packers shortly after he went unselected in the NFL draft in late April. He took part in all their offseason work from that point but was released Thursday.

    — Press-Gazette

    Obviously, this move is designed to make room on the roster for Culpepper.
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      "There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

            Politics, Babb was a great QB that was shown the door once again because of Aaron "Twinkle Toes" Rogers. Babb had all the tools. I think the Packers are going to look back on this move in disgust in about two years.

              Who cares
              "...one thing about me during the course of a game, I get emotional and say things my grandmother lets me know about later. But nobody wants to win on that field anymore than I do, no one." Brett Favre

                This should be seen in the proper and positive context.

                My suspicion is that another draft pick is about to be signed and roster room is provided by this release.



                As an aside as a kid I had a mildly retarded neighbor named Jerry Babb. When he was signed my brother and I got a good laugh remembering the guy from our childhood.

                That Jerry Babb used to listened to Charlie Pride music but did so frequently. That's how we knew it was he making prank phone calls, always there were Charlie Pride songs being played in the background.
                He was the first kid in school caught with cigerettes(4th grade).
                He always read aloud incapable of reading without saying the words.

                My sister-in-law could not understand my brother's uncontrollable laughter when I told him the Packers signed Jerry Babb. As QB!! Now the inside joke is over.
