Nice revisionist history. James Jones was long gone when Davante was drafted. The cry from the troll was

There were similar cries when he took back to back DBs this year. But you knew that.

Now he overpays the guys he drafted and that is going to haunt him? Dude can't do anything right according to you.

I thought Boykin was okay a solid unspectacular 3rd or 4th option. A possession guy. We draft a guy with a similar skill set. No speed. Good hands. Now, all of a sudden Boykin is gone and Davante is ready for superstardom? Really? A year before Jarrett Boykin is better than Alshon Jeffery. I did read Davante was better than Sterling Sharpe here on this forum. Another not so unusual crazy statement.

It never stops here. This is the offseason. It's gone so far as taking a player whom I like the potential of and LOVE the attributes of and spinning it into I think he's Randy Moss, T.O. and Jerry Rice and Julio as well. I don't even say these things. The stretching and ridiculous statements here are just too much sometimes. I say something and I get vilified for trying to give a view of some kind of objectivity. Nobody likes that guy. The truth is NEVER popular. Don't care. '

My fandom gets questioned. I was there when the Pack beat SF in the playoffs and then beat Carolina the following weekend for the right to go to the show. I spent nearly 600 bucks on tix to go to those games. The following year I hopped a plane to SF and spent 400 bucks to see them beat SF to go to back to back SB's and I made on TV with a SD TV affiliate asking me questions about our chances as I was right behind the Packers bench. I've followed this team for 35 years. I've been down in the bowels getting sound from Favre, Holmgren, Wolf. I've been right there at the locker room door. Yeah, I'm not a fan because I don't blow reality out of proportion at every turn. I worked sports media for many years and learned how to be objective. It took time. I used to be similar to some of you here. As I look back on the old me I realize how off I was back then but also realize how much more fun it was living in that fantasy world. I'm sorry if I take some of that away from you.

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."

We have been contenders almost every year of Thompson's tenure. His resume speaks for itself.

Yup...and he's had a QB named Favre or Rodgers the entire time and a D that's been mostly terrible and ST's as well.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
