OK, I will say it. It has to be said.

Jim Taylor was a better running back than Paul Hornung.

There, I said it.

So versatility was not one of your criteria.

Since I was still floating in my Daddy's sack, I'll take your for it. How old are you guys anyway?

I agree, Trippmeister. Taylor was a true RB.
Hornung was more versatile. He could run, pass, kick, do it all.
Taylor only ran the ball. But he was a real load to bring down!

Your title got me excited and brought me into the thread, only to be let down by what it was about haha. JK 😉

Hornung -- pretty boy. Bleh.
Hornung -- Notre Dame. Double bleh.

Taylor -- greatest running back in Packer history.

No contest.

Lets see...assume my best 'old geezer' personna...

Well, see, little buddy, I grew up in a time with no boats, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxur...oops, channelling the wrong geezer...

Take 2...well, young whippersnapper, I grew up in a time when I had to watch the Packers play TV barefoot, in the snow, up-hi...wait, I'm getting that mixed up with another story...

Try again...Well, son, I grew up in a time with NFL only on 1 network, only on Sundays, no AFL teams merged into the NFL (heck, AFL didn't even exist, either), no internet, no on-line newspapers, no cable TV, no Packershome.com...Aaaaaggghhhh!!! that's enough of that!

Suffice it to say, I grew up in the dark ages...

I was stuck with whatever sports coverage the local TV and newspapers provided. I was a little boy when the ice bowl was played. I was watching it on TV and grabbed my camera on the TD run because I wanted a picture of it to keep in my room. I was shocked when the film (yes, no digital cameras) came back from the developer and the TV looked like it was turned off. Being a kid, I hadn't realized the flash would wash out the picture tube. lol

One could argue that much of both backs success was due to the men lined up in front of them.. so I will break the debate.. they both were overrated.

Fan Shout

packerfanoutwest (1h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (1h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (1h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?

beast (11h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (15h) : meh

Zero2Cool (19h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (19h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (19h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (23h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (23h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
