I was a huge Nick Collins fan, from the time he was drafted.

He didn't develop as well as I had hoped his second year, because his dad was dying of cancer. Nick was there, taking care of him and shit. Everyone was talking shit about him at that time, but I defended him, because I knew how good he was.

Dude was all world, and his career ended IMHO for no good reason. An acupuncturist could have solved that "neck bulge" in a matter of maybe 3 weeks. No need for surgery, no need for his career to end. And it made me fucking sick to my stomach.

But I'm not gonna sit here and bitch and complain that we "haven't replaced him yet." Know what? We haven't replaced Vince Lombardi either. But we won world championships before AND after him.

Shit, we only won ONE with Nick Collins. Our team got by just fine before him, and we'll continue to exist and excel after him. GTF over it already.

In the past 10 drafts there have only been one or two "Nick Collins" type players out there. GB will probably never replace him.

I miss LeRoy Butler more than I miss Nick Collins.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Yet another career ruined by Mike's training staff.

I actually agree with the sentiment of the OP.

But the line about acupuncture makes me want reach my hand through the computer and slap you.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Twice a week, three weeks. Then re-evaluate.

The point: Nick Collins plays safety in the NFL. He takes shots to the head and neck on a daily basis. Phil, the lovely insurance salesman who's wife teaches elementary school, does not take such abuse.

NOT hard to treat.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
