Should the Green Bay Packers be ‘pondering’ a trade for Christian Ponder?

OK, Green Bay Packers fans, laugh as heartily as I did, if you like, but there is recent report that some feel Titletown could be a landing spot for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder. However, my opinion is that the idea the Packers would even consider a trade for Ponder is about as straight as one

UMM. No. Release him outright and I would still have to take a pass.

Ugh! I commented on this article shortly after they put it up on Google's hard drive.

Why trade for a guy who is going to be released? (I know it ensures you're the team that gets him so you don't have to compete with 30 others)

No way in the world Ted Thompson gives up a draft pick for that guy.

Lots of crazy talk this time of the year. Gil Brandt is suggesting the Cowboys call Brian Urlacher to replace Sean Lee to "save their season". He probably is better than AJ Hawk.

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."

I'd rather they re-sign Uncle Rico.

Everybody says no? Why? Ponder had the makin's of a good QB. With McCarthy's schooling, I bet he could be. He's a helluva lot better than Flynn, and probably better than Tolzien too. Of course don't trade for him, as it is pretty sure he will be released, but sign him? Hell Yeah!

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty
