That's my issue with this new FO. They make great moves but fuck up the simple shit.

DOn't say it's was because of Load an his agent because I'm not sure if you have noticed...we did resigned anyone during the season.

I think you grossly underestimate the simple shit.

Under Chilly's regime we brought in a shit ton of FA's and his ass got canned before their contracts came up.

*prepares for the "But Colston" posts.

Did you prepare for the "there are 160 players picked from round 2 through round 6"? Hell, Jennings is the greatest thing since sliced bread and he was a mid-late second round player.

Many busts are found in the first round too.:flame:

Just mention putting a retractable roof over the dome or electronic pull tabs.

If that's the case, we wouldn't need to go receiver shopping using Loadholt's dollar value in order to keep Jennings. We'd just keep Jenning's using Loadholt's dollar cap hit. Jennings cap hit in 2013 is only $5 million, Loadholt's is $4.65 mil. There's only $350,000 difference in 2013 between the two.

Besides, restructuring JA's and/or K-Will's contracts could & would free up additional cap space.

2: I still think the WR corps needs help. We need a second legit target. Hopefully we can find one in the draft.

3: Not hating Spielman. Not 100% sold on him, but getting closer all the time.

4: Ponder....clock is ticking. The excuse-o-meter has burned out, and I doubt that Cassell is content at this point in his career to be a clipboard holder. I could see a change being made early on if Ponder struggles again.

I'm gonna steal a line from Brother Devon here.

Oh my brother, Testify.

Spielman has done some good things, and he has done some bad things. No doubt the WR crew still needs work, a stud rookie would do the trick for me. You need more than just Jennings to put a flame under the asses of this passing offense. It's definitely looking up though with Jennings being added to the crew.

We need a lot of help on defense IMO. Our secondary is weak with the exception of Smith, and as it sits right now, our LB crew has one solid player on it, and that is, you guessed it, Greenway. Our DL is not nearly as strong as it once was, and that is the focal point of our defense, putting pressure on the QB.

Ponder is in his make it or break it year. He should have the players around him to make plays. If we get a stud WR in the draft, he will have absolutely no excuses with poor play. Its time to man up, or shut the hell up for him. He is either our franchise QB, or its time to move on. You don't get drafted in the first round 12th overall and get 4 f'n years to to see what you got, sorry.

Jennings took out a full page ad in the sconny newspaper today thanking the cheesed!ck fans today. I hate ex packers, ugh.

The guy is classy all the way though, I am sure he would do it here if he played the entire 5 years and then left us. The GB fans didn't deserve that ad though, and I said as much on his Twitter page. They loved the guy for 7 years and said he was to classy to come and play for Minnesota, then when he signed here, he and his wife got blasted on Twitter. People calling him names, saying they were un-following him now, and let mean comments on his wife's page. GB fans are the most idiotic and pathetic fans in football, and I should know, I live in Green Bay, and all of my buddies are GB fans ;)

All I know is I am going to love it when Jennings scores that first TD against the Packqueers in the Dome and the fans erupt, and when he scores that first one at Lameblow and their fans boo the hell out of him. I can just see the huge smile on his face after that happens.

Lol, yeeeaaa. Packer fans are soo pathetic that they are constantly regarded as some of the greatest fans in Pro sports. They sell out every game and never seem to have ANY trouble following the team on the road, can you say the same?

I cant wait to see how Greg does without a HOF QB throwing to him, hes still going to be a good WR, but does Ponder have the talent to make the most out of him? we will see.

Rodgers is in the HOF? I didn't even see his name on the list.
