slow rebuilding being done by Ted and Company???

Actually i have not only been impressed with the rebuilding of the last 3 years, i've been AMAZED. Ted has completely revamped and improved our roster over 3 years ago. he's done a fabulous job. look at the redskins over the last 3 years.... umm.... yeah, they sure have improved havent they... lol.

and by the way, i thank the lord every night we went 4-12 in 2005...
why you ask? Hawk, Jennings, Colledge, Spitz, Jolly, Blackmon, Hodge... enuf said. You guys have to realize, somethings happen for a reason.

A good TE would be very nice to have, but at least for now, it looks like Bubba has stopped eating buttered popcorn and washing his hands with baby oil on the sidelines.


This is why I love this message board; it has people who can verbalize exactly what I am unable to!!!!! Classic

ALso, look at the Vikings and all the money they spent. Spent $100 million on the left side of the OL, paid $2 million for a kicker. $20 million on the defense. THe vikings must really be enjoying their SB title. Oh wait, they ended up with a worse record the packers last year. ACcording to some here, you have to throw money a FA to be a winer. Looks like the Vikes shot that theory to hell.

Going back to the help on offense, how do you classify the three drafts under TT as not trying to improve the offense??

2005

1st - QB (Rodgers) - point taken this doesn't help Favre
2nd - WR (Murphy)
5th - C (Coston)
6th - WR (Bragg)
7th - OG (Whitticker)

2006

2nd - OG (Colledge)
2nd - WR (Jennings)
3rd - OG (Spitz)
4th - WR (Cory Rodgers)
5th - QB (Martin)
5th - OT (Moll)

2007

2nd - RB (Jackson)
3rd - WR (Jones)
4th - OT (Barbe)
5th - WR (Clowney)
7th - RB (Wynn)
7th - TE (Harris)

Seems like a reasonable investment in the offense. I'm not trying to defend TT from having made mistakes as he's obviously done his fair share by not addressing the guard position in 2005 and possibly TE play this year but I don't think he's the failure some point him to be.

Negative is fine as long as it's based in facts and invites thought and debate. Bashing is best left for the JSO. I'd guess the reason the blind kool-aid drinking posters don't get quite the same level of flak is that as Packer fans we all want the team to succeed and it's a lot easier to digest and get less uptight when somebody is incredibly optimistic versus constantly finding things to harp on.

I will respecfully contend with your post . . . Re: TT serving our team and offense (Favre and CO.) in our drafts sine he was brought in to be the Packer GM.

2005

1st - QB (Rodgers) - The obvious point here on the Aaron Rodgers pick. Is this doesn't help Favre at all. Favre's heir apparent was selected by TT on this day because he thought that Favre was on his way out. HaHa !!! Favre will have to get seriously hurt before he'll retire.Rodgers may leave Green Bay as a FA before Favre retires after the 2010 season. Favre loves to play football as much as anyone in the NFL.

As many or more Packer fans hated this pick of Rodgers than hate the Justin Harrell pick.

Favre deserved far more support that TT has afforded him. It's way too clear why that hasn't been a reality. Sadly too many here can't face the TRUTH.That arguably the best Packer of all time has been (since TT) and still is getting screwed in the support Dept.

As a Packere fan I feel such shame for this fact. My shame far surpass's any pride.


We loved this young WR after we had a look at him He had excellent potential to be a leader as a WR and on the team. A tough loss in TT's 2nd round pick for the future of our 'O'. (Terrence Murphy) - Lost to injury.

5th - C (Coston) - May develop with all that athletic potential.I liked this pick.Some Packer fans don't have any love for his wife.She's LOUD!!

6th - WR (Bragg)- CUT

7th - OG (Whitticker)- CUT and last I checked developing with another NFL team. Uhhhh ??

2006

2nd - OG (Colledge) - **

2nd - WR (Jennings)- How good has Jennings looked in TC Packerrats? and Is his attitude still peaked given the fact he may be passed in the depth chart by J. Jones? Where's his head?

3rd - OG (Spitz) - **

4th - WR (Cory Rodgers) - Playing in the CFL last I heard.

5th - QB (Martin) - He's history and again absolutely no help to Favre !! Was TT having second thoughts on Aaron Rodgers or just taking fr. our offensive potential . . .again.

5th - OT (Moll) - **

2007

2nd - RB (Jackson) - Showing us nothing. . . except a lot of potential with his lack of skills to block at the NFL level that may go a long way to getting Favre seriously injured. mmmmm????

3rd - WR (Jones) - May be our #2WR if DD gets back OK. This pick is looking good to date for our future. He's a ROOKIE and not even Calvin Johnson another ROOKIE will burn up the NFL in 2007.

4th - OT (Barbe) - **

5th - WR (Clowney) - Taxi Squad at best and what did he even do in College that drew TT to him??

7th - RB (Wynn) - This fella has a golden opportunity tonight Vs. the Titans to light it up. The thing is (again) he will be at best a Packer Rookie. That isn't what we or Favre needed in the backfield for 2007 after we lost our premier RB, Ahman Green.

7th - TE (Harris) - Gone !! Ohhh. . he was pick at TE - in a need position. . . but a 7th rounder. Uhhh ?

** How have these OL looked in the pre season games to date Packerrats? Before we invest a lot of $ in any RB the middle of our OL has to do the job.That's not happening for the Packer offense with Favre behind center.Good thing that Favre did his part to get his ankle repaired because again he'll have to run for his and our packer fan lives. Another season to begin and again the OL looks bad to date.

The offense will only be as good as that OL develops.

How comfortable will LT Chad Clifton and RT Tauscher be with the ZBS in 2007?

RT MarkTauscher wasn't the same or as effective at RT in 2006. LT Chad Clifton appears to have been fullly ready at the beginning of TC but he's not going to last much longer and Colledge has to be ready to move to LT or TT and MM will have to seek another answer.

Let's hope that CB Will Blackmon is an answer as a 3-5 CB and can return kicks. Is it posssible that TT and MM will cut our only FA acquisition, CB Frank Walker? That can't be. . can it ?!!

Why didn't TT select at CB in the draft if he really felt he needed to go 'D' to help our offense? Especially given the age of Charles Woodson and Al Harris and with so many question marks with our young and not developing CB's as of 2006? Like best CB available in round one, instead of a redundant to us pick at DT.

Here is my deal, I think too many fans have been spoiled by all the success the Packers have had in the 90's and early 00's. Having faithfully watched the Packers in the 70's and 80's I think that I have the rational that whoever suits up in the Green and Gold I will root for each week, not bitch and moan that so-and-so is not on my team. Whoever is on the field playing for the Packers is my favorite player. If we win the game, great, I'm a happy camper, if we lose, we'll get em next week.

That's all I have also in 2007.

I HOPED FOR MORE LAST JAN.

You're just trying to be my new favorite poster. I must say, it seems to be working in your favor...

TT should have built a SB contender by this time next year if Favre sticks around...if #4 retires then add one for Rogers to get comfy. If we are not contenders at that time then TT has failed in his duties and his performance will need to be reviewed by the board. His contract is how long?

And that is the problem. When Brett only gives notice after the draft the first 2 years of TTs tenure, you expect him to plan to build a SB contender for him?

As far as TT bashers go, you bitched and moaned that TT didn't sign Rivera and Wahle when he got here. Well guess what. Had TT done that we would be over the cap right now and there would be no discussion about signing FAs.

Extend TT's contract now!

There is not a basher in here who thought we could sign Rivera "AND" Wahle

Anyways, why should we discuss FREE AGENTS ??

Oh, that's right. Frankie Walker.

No, Woodbuck, if you look carefully you'll see that Henry just doesn't have the right skin tone to fit in with that particular group...

He's some ugly hippy lookin kind of dude; of course I'm very ugly too. But I'd never put my ugly mug shot in an avatar
