Am I the only skeptic here?
32 year old with many injuries ... ya thats nice he will gain 46 yards and get a prize.
btw where is that sig with Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson 'eye on the prize' ...
So Mike McCarthy couldnt make a screen play with the personel he had? ... jackson? or heck maybe a back that doesnt need a cane to play?

Uh, reading the thread I'd say that the skeptics far outnumber the rest of us. So no, you're not the only one.
Bottom line: those who think there might have been better options available have a valid point. I disagree (Perry hasn't managed to see the field so I'd call him a paper tiger, Arrington's not proven to be any more durable than Green, and Rhodes raises some character flags, IMO), but it's valid. Those who are butthurt because Thompson didn' trade for Stevie Jackson or Joe Thomas or something, well, with all due respect you're living in a fantasy world - that simply wasn't ever going to happen.
If you look at this for what it likely really was, which was an opportunity to bring a great former Packer back so he can finish his career in the green and gold while hopefully getting some limited production out of him and fill the (tiny) void left by sending Wynn to the IR, I can't see how it's a bad move.
If you're simply pissed that Thompson is proving that he's too stubborn to change his ways no matter how obvious the need to do that is, that's cool - and I agree with you. I'm pissed, too. But don't slag on Green - the man's 46 yards from being the all-time Packers rushing leader for a reason, and he's a good man to boot.
