Ingle Gone

[Partial]

Ingle is gone. So long. Don't let the door hit you on your ass.

The Green Bay Packers released 11 players Friday. The transactions were announced by Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations.

Released Friday were center C.J. Blomvall, wide receiver Carlton Brewster, fullback Erryn Cobb, punter Ryan Dougherty, defensive end DeVon Hicks, cornerback Antonio Malone, quarterback Ingle Martin, guard Pat Murray, running back P.J. Pope, linebacker Juwan Simpson and tight end Joe Werner.

I can't say any of these were a surprise. I wonder if we are going to list Holiday as our ER #3 QB? Seems more teams are just going with 2 QB's.

Yup BH - already is a discussion of this under the Aug 24 cuts thread.

I'd retitle this thread. Otherwise, we are going to have a barrage of cut list threads.

[BallHawk]

Not really any surprise there.

I thought they'd try to keep Joe Werner around. Other than that no surprises.

running back P.J. Pope

How bad was he injured? Maybe he'll get another sniff midseason. wait - maybe they can't return after an injury settlement.

[Joemailman]

As a good Catholic, I think the release of an injured Pope is an outrage. May TT burn in hell.

Thank God they cut ingle martin. His performance looked a little rex grossmanish, both smoke poles

[Merlin]

I personally would have kept Thompson over Martin as well. However, that isn't based solely on Martin's performance last night as many many posters here have done. If you look at Rodgers with the scrubs, he didn't look all that good now did he. Blaming Martin for the lack of talent around him is kind of stupid. Kind of like saying "yeah but Rodgers was with the scrubs so his poor play is dismissed" then saying Martin sucks because he didn't play any better with less of a team around him. That's what being a cake-eater is my friends.

All too often people get wrapped up into who they like instead of what that person can contribute. I hate Randy Moss, but I think he would have been a good addition to our team. I like Ingle Martin. When he came out last season he looked like he had a strong arm but was very raw. He looked like he wanted to play but was relegated to scrub duty. This year, he looked like he wished he was somewhere else. Thompson made some bad decisions but the kid has better raw skills then either Martin or Rodgers for that matter. Thompson seemed like he was the person in charge when he got behind center. Rodgers doesn't look like he is in charge, just there to do a job. We may never know what he had in Martin because I think he just didn't give a crap. He was tagged as a slacker and sometimes hard worker coming out of college and it appears by his demeanor that he just didn't care.

Finally, for anyone to be like "thank god they cut him" and compare him to Grossman, apparently you haven't been watching Rodgers the past three seasons. Anyone who pipes up and defends Rodgers isn't watching either. The kid has a very long way to go.

yeah but we`re not talking about the last three seasons we are talking about right now. This year. Rodgers overall has looked pretty good. Martin has not had a good camp at all this year. Coaches, writers everyone has seen and said that.

[Merlin]

Can you replay the last few series for me that Rodgers was in last night? Look at his performance and tell me it was PRETTY GOOD. If you say it was, you really need to get your head examined. Although Rodgers is making strides, he isn't picking up the hardest part of the game, reading the defense and leading the team. It it takes a #1 draft choice three seasons to look just OK (which is better then the proverbial over-generalization of "overall looked pretty good") then I think there may be a problem.

Oh, you meant the first series he played, the first throw he made. You mean the one where is misread the safety over the top and threw what should have been an interception? We are talking about right now right?

That's right, dismiss anything pertaining to reality and focus on a few positives but ignore the glaring negatives. When will fans learn that it takes more then a couple of "nice throws" to make an NFL QB?

We all know that writers spew what they hear from the coaches. You really think any coach is going to come out and say our backup QB sucks? They haven't said that about the guy once in any season. They are always saying good things. But yet they never seem to amount to anything on the field.

I like Ingle Martin. When he came out last season he looked like he had a strong arm but was very raw.

I right. I actually laughed at this. Strong arm? Compared to who? Gumby? I know Partial has accused you of not even watching the games, and now I'm really starting to think there's a great deal of truth to this.

Thompson made some bad decisions but the kid has better raw skills then either Martin or Rodgers for that matter.

And you're basing this off what? The 1 quarter of preseason football you've seen, or not seen, of Thompson? His 10 attempts, 2 of which were INTs? I'm drunk when I'm reading this nonsense, but you'd have to be stupid to post it.

We may never know what he had in Martin because I think he just didn't give a crap. He was tagged as a slacker and sometimes hard worker coming out of college and it appears by his demeanor that he just didn't care.

Then why the fuck would we want him on the team? He was an untalented backup, you claim he didn't care about playing, yet you were ready to walk through the fires of hell to shout that he was better than Rodgers.

Finally, for anyone to be like "thank god they cut him" and compare him to Grossman, apparently you haven't been watching Rodgers the past three seasons. Anyone who pipes up and defends Rodgers isn't watching either. The kid has a very long way to go.

Finally, you're an idiot. Thank God, Jesus, Baby Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Mary, Tom Cruise, Ghandi, the dog from the Taco Bell commercials, and Oprah they cut the loser.

I'll second that.
