Ryan Grant? WTF TT?

[Freak Out]

We needed a RB and TT went and got one. That's progress.

[run pMc]

Well, if the almighty Ron Wolf was still the GM, he'd deal a low pick for a RB if we needed one, right? So maybe this isn't a bad move. Time will tell.
All the same, I'm pretty underwhelmed at the moment.

Hey, HH, we kept your guy, Wynn. I see his potential, but guys like Wynn scare me. He seems to be an MM pet.

I like Wynn & Harrell because, as they say in the hood, they got skills. Maybe they will become good football players, maybe not, I just like what I see and read about their athleticism.

This bias does occasionally lead me down the road to ruin. See Cletedius Hunt.

[RashanGary]

Hey, Don't let these guys make you apologize! Say what you want. You didn't say anything bad! Thompson gets paid the big bucks and he has to endure whatever criticism we want to dish out.

Dude, why is everything about this for you. Man, this is the WAIVER WIRE. We jsut traded a pick for our greatest need, something you've been clamouring for, for the last 6 months. Just enjoy it, this is yoru team adn they did what you hoped they would do.

I like your ability to not project negative traits on people because they are a little different. Wynn certainly has skills. I really hope he becomes a player he is capable of because it could effect the next 6 or 7 years of Packer football in a very positive way.

Also see James Lee, Donnell Washington, Chris Johnson, etc, al... They all had certain measurables and "skills". Problem was, at least in the case of Lee and Washington, they were lazy slugs and/or problem people that didn't live up to their physical abilities.

Wynn fits the same pattern. I'm greatly surprised he's still on the roster and don't see him lasting long, much less contributing to this offense. His "making the team", if you can call it that, speaks more to the desperation of the absolute garbage at the position than anything else.

They were razor thin going into this training camp and the injuries have only ramped up the train wreck that is the Packers RB position at the moment.

For all the good things they have accumulated on defense, this will be their undoing. When you become one dimensional in this league, you become predictable and defanged. Especially with an aging QB that can't be expected to carry the offense anymore.

Of course, I could be wrong and this will all end well. That is my hope.

I also think this is more about depth than challenging for a prominent role in the running game.

i'm just frustrated. like i said, i've been generally happy with how tt operates and give him the benefit of the doubt, it just seems like he gets too smart sometimes. i'll be as happy as anybody here if grant turns out to be a stud and rushes for 1,200 yds. it'd be interesting to see a list of all his non-draft acquisitions (not including ufa's from the day after the draft) and how they turned out.

i actually give him a whole bunch of credit for cutting his losses and getting rid of manuel. that was his guy twice, in seattle and gb, and he admitted his mistake.

Manuel is gone and that isn't a bad move.

yeah, that's what i was trying to say. i like that move.

Where was this philosophy of yours, when the Sherminator was running the team into the ground?

Nice observation, Vic. Didn't take you long to pick up on that.

This was before I figured out that Thompson is the Anti-Christ.

It was time for Sherman to move on, I realized this in hindsight. He took his shot and failed, once due to injury and once due to some bad play calling among other things. I'm not sure his strong suit would be rebuilding.

That said, I miss his honesty. While Thompson is a better player talent evaluator, he's a lying prick. You can't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

Holy shit, you are going nuts with this whole thing. I'm beginning to think the assending Packers that are being assembled by the guy who fired your hero is eating you alive.

RG, I'm willing to be friends with you but you are nuts man. Chill out.

I gotta go though. I'll be back to read your nutty rant in a couple hours.


Sheesh, you are crazy RG.

Just a question (sorry no rant)...

Who said I wanted to be your friend?

When Sherman said the same stuff it was clever subterfuge. But somehow Thompson is a lying prick.
