Copying someone else is just being lazy and shows you do not have conviction in what you say and are doing so just out of spite, not actual belief.

If you have you better not be writing how wonderful he is at drafting because he isn't. My conviction is a lot stronger than yours and based on a lot more than what you base yours off of. I've looked...you haven't. I didn't see you running to prove my statement wrong...just a throng of posters here telling ME how I don't answer questions. LOL. Right, it's me who avoids subjects around here.

If they had offered the same deal earlier, he would have most likely signed it, but once he was scorned, there was no deal the Packers could offer that he would have signed. This is how the Packers operate and he even acknowledged he knew as such after the season concluded. Jenkins was also turning 30 and missed seventeen games during his last three seasons with the Packers.

You keep spouting how you've looked into his drafting record and how your opinion is based on so much more than most, if not all of us. You've never actually laid it out though. "Trust me, I've done the research" is not a compelling argument. Neither is quoting two random opinions from the comments section of a JSO article (even if those two opinions are more clearly explained than yours has been in stating which players they liked or didn't like).

You're the one claiming to be a subject matter expert, to have an insight none of us are privy to. Those words are hollow until you decide to actually back them up.

As Tom Petty once said...Don't do me like that. Of course, any fan of team wants their team to be better. That is not a very good comeback. I'm speaking to OUR defense. It's not been good enough. Do you think our D would've fared better than Seattle's in the SB? I don't. Rodgers on one leg this time around vs. a New England team we narrowly escaped at home the first time around? D wasn't and isn't good enough...we all know that. To take Russell Wilson's legendary awful first half and use that as validation our D was good enough isn't fair. We were fortunate Russell sucked that bad...nobody had ever been that bad in an NFC Championship game in the 1st half and our D still couldn't win the game for us by getting torched at the end of regulation and OT. If our D was actually good perhaps we stop them in regulation and win it there? Or...at least get the ball back to our O in OT. Neither happened. We lost. How does a team lose to a team whose QB played the worst 1st half of football in NFL history in an NFC Championship game? Doesn't speak well of the defense that you keep saying WAS good enough. I don't think it was. I know it wasn't.

Just look at all those misses! He's not STELLAR like ALL of you claim! Therefore he is barely above average. Oh no, I haven't compared him to other GMs, but I assure you I know he is not good at drafting. Do you not see all those misses? I have unique insight and am unbiased because I worked at a radio station. You guys all claim he is STELLAR. 😕

Bulaga I think was given a fair contract. Of course if he spends the next two years on IR I will be proven wrong on that! 😊

The others, Jennings, Jones, EDS, don't forget Newhouse. You gotta guess right on who to keep and who to cut ties with to manage the cap. 👍

A compound mistake by Ted Thompson that had negative impact on our team and D for years.

I'm just curious why Cullen Jenkins' name is being thrown around in this thread, like it was such a mistake letting him go and like he was deserving of a huge contract.

In his last season here, he played in 11 games and had a total of 18 tackles and 7 sacks. The year prior he played in all 16 games and only had 4.5 sacks! Prior to that he only played in 4 games! Prior to that he had 1 sack in 16 games!

He went on to only play in 2 unexciting seasons with the eagles. They cut him and he had 2 more unexciting seasons with the giants.

This just doesn't seem like a guy who was a) a big loss to our D, b) deserving of a huge contract and finally c)a guy who played up to the big contract he signed in FA.

Lets just stop with that nonsense.
