What I really don't want to hear is, "I wish him luck and success elsewhere".

If he really has flopped to the extent that he needed to be cut, I hope he will be out of football or sitting permanently on somebody else's bench. The nightmare scenario is that our bust goes on to help somebody else.

Bust.

Ahmad Carroll, he was a bust. Justin Harrell, he was injury prone and its not any different than Sherrod.

All said and done though, it's a first round pick that is not contributing and the label is irrelevant.

He didn't look good at all this year but I still don't get cutting him instead of Taylor or Gerhart. With Tretter we have a G/C but now we have no back up T at all.

It is really hard to call a player who was injured a bust but it sure didn't help that he never came around post injury. It stinks about as bad as Terrence Murphy's career getting cut short. I don't think he is considered a bust.

Well I wish him well none the less. The man might still get it all put together somewhere else. Maybe if he does Mike and Uncle Teddy will see that Campen isn't the OL coach GB needs. There have been a number of OLmen who couldn't make it work in GB but found success elsewhere. How much better would would the Packers offense be if they had a solid OL?

If I were Sherrod I'd be looking up Marshall Newhouses address and taking a trip along with a baseball bat in the passenger seat but that's just me.

I'm surprised with the move. Not because Sherod was good, but because this kind of move isn't at all the "norm" with Ted.

Bust or Injury Prone? Good Question. I wonder what he would have been like if not for the horrible broken leg. He seems to suffer from a really bad case of slow-footedness now. Probably that is because of the leg break, but what is it, two years since then? I'm not so sure he wouldn't have been slow-footed regardless - a degree of which you can still be successful with in college football, but not really in the pros. If he wasn't another Justin Harrell, would he have been another Tony Mandarich?

The slow foot is not the only problem I saw in Sherrod, when he played I saw a player that didn't finish the play, he was just standing there after being defeated. I believe that was the reason why he was cut.

Same story for Harrell, Worthy, And Datone (to this point).

With the 32nd pick we got 20 games. All on the bench, or injured.

And when he did come back, healthy as he can get, Sherrod looked like crap. Granted, he was playing RT not his natural LT, but it doesn't matter because when he was in, he mostly stunk.

Waste of a pick.

Edit: not saying it was a bad pick at the time, but it ultimatly turned out to be one.
