Good to see there are other Packer fans who actually "GET IT"

Stick with him -- slow and steady beats a flash in the pan.

Hawk was worth the pick no doubt I for one would rather have a steady player who dosent ever get sidelined because injury then a player who is above good but then gets hurt then you have to put in someone a whole lot worse. Ted Thompson likes hawk because he does what they ask him to do Ted Thompson even said he was worth it. I hate how some people only look at statistics when talking about players.

BTW Dan. Despite the claims in your bio you are not an "inspiring" writer, you are an "aspiring" writer. You may or may not be able to put together a sentence, we will leave that to your 5th grade English teacher to decide . Based on the above drivel we know you are not a sports writer. Try again Junior.

He was worth the pick. First 3 years if you had to do the draft over he would have been the number 1 pick. Long term he has not panned out to be great. He's slow and seems weak. But we could be a lot worse off and we have nobody to replace him with in 8 years.

Really Dan?
Tired of all The "Hawk haters".
Led the team or in top 3 in tackles his 1st 3 years.
Played through injuries in 2009 that would have shelved most other guys. Never missing a start.
Then in 2010 when lbr's started dropping like flies, who stepped up, taking over for a once again injured Nick Barnette , playing alongside a bunch of no-name lbr's, qbing the defense, keeping them together until the so called "SUPERSTAR" could return.
Let's fast forward to now, once again, Hawk will be playing alongside, raw, but hopefully talented lbr's for at least a month, maybe longer. Who knows who the starting lbr's will be the next few weeks.
I for one am glad that odds are A.J. Hawk will be there anchoring the middle, calling the plays, making sure the young guys know their responsibilities.
In retrospect, I wish Ted Thompson would have never drafteD A.J. Hawk, tired of writers and fans alike who can't appreciate a true Professional!!!!
The importance of a player doesn't always show up in "stats".
THIS IS NOT FANTASY FOOTBALL!!!!
Worth the pick and every dollar he has earned in the NFL!!!

Geesh...you "journalist" have nothing better to do than pick on AJ Hawk. If he is so bad, why is he still starting and calling the signals for the defense? Fortunately for the Packers, clowns like you are not in charge because you complain about the steady players and would have the Packers get rid of them all. Hawk was drafted because he is a "football guy" according to TT. True, he isn't flashy but he is the consumate professional according to his coaches. He is hard nosed like many of the Packers who have gone before him. If the entire defense was as hard nosed, we would have the best defense in the league. Lay off Hawk and go back to covering dog shows or some other bit of tripe.

Dumb kid. Ever watched a Packer game? Hawk reminds me of Nitschke every time he plays. Got his nose in the middle of the action. Busting his hump and the guys he plays against. Steady player you don't have to worry about. Clearly you know more than TT. Dope!
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
