The Packers' recent signing of baggage-laden tight end Colt Lyerla struck some as an out-of-character move for Green Bay, which doesn't routinely take chances on players who enter the NFL with the bevy of red flags featured by the talented but troubled former Oregon Duck. But viewed from another perspective, the Packers' risky redemption project does fit a certain pattern, given Green Bay's well-known penchant for successfully mining the undrafted collegiate free agent ranks, as well as compiling a strong track record in the later rounds of the draft.

On an annual basis, the Packers' personnel department is one of the league's most adept at finding players, and the team's roster tends to reflect an organizational willingness to gamble on talent that arrives in Green Bay with less than a perfect pedigree. Lyerla is just the latest example of that trend, albeit pushing the boundaries of where the Packers are usually comfortable to go on the character issue front.

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."

Then we have something to discuss, rather than just be bounced off to a different website.

Make sense bud?
