I like his candor, but I still think once Rodgers went down he quit on his TEAM.

Through the life of true free agency, the Packers have been truly hesitant to fully utilize this tool for improving the roster. Despite making a huge splash with the successful recruitment of Reggie White in 1993, the Packers have been overly cautious since then, with the biggest arrivals coming in 2006 (Charles Woodson), Julius Peppers [more]

No one can resist the urge to kick the puppy (or should we call him the old dog?) when he's down. Then again, there's probably no one who would entirely disagree with Clinton-Dix on this score. The Packers' reliance on inexperienced rookies as backups does certainly make them vulnerable to injury, or so it's seemed over recent years.

Haha didn't really do a good job of selling it but I understand the point. It's important to have promising developmental prospects on your roster but your whole back up squad cannot be projects. There had to be players out there that could have been more useful than guys like Chris Odom, Donatello Brown, or Jermaine Whitehead. We already have young project guys at those same positions at Edge we have Biegel, Fackrell, Gilbert, CB/S we have Pipkins, Evans, Hawkins, Brice... I mean that's plenty, there are enough FAs that you don't have to drop 6/7m to get some vets in to compete. House is a good example he was well worth the price we paid and was a heck of a lot better than our project players despite being riddled with injuries all season. Gotta mix it up.

A few years ago I hated hearing the talking heads tell us that GB had the lowest number of players who had been with another team.

You don't want to have the most retreads but you don't want to consistently have the least.

Somewhere between 10-15 would make sense.

I don't disagree with the general idea, in fact I think the Packers were active in trying to plug needs with FA this year. It didn't work so well thanks to injuries, Bennett, etc. but I agree with the approach.

It annoys me to hear this coming from HaHa, though. Maybe if he didn't appear to bail on the season and check out on plays (e.g. Abdullah rushing TD Sunday) the Pack wouldn't have had some of the issues we saw.

And I will bring up the elephant that I believe most FAs don't want to come to Green Bay unless we overpay and Ted was never the GM that wanted to do that. I live in Ottawa and I know most NHL free agents don't want to come here. Yes we struck gold with White, Woody and Peppers, but we paid handsomely for all of those players to come here. Do we really want to pay a premium for players in back-up roles? But we have done well in that regard as well. Guion (when not suspended) and Evans this year were very serviceable veteran FAs.

Yeah draft and development isn't working BECAUSE HAHA ISN'T DEVELOPING!!!!

As for what HaHa claimed against draft and development... he missed the mark... that's not draft and development, at least not if he's talking about the Safety position. As if two rookies step up and look like they can replace an expensive vet most teams will move on. And Bush and Richardson were taken out by other factors.

Also is he saying his current young DB mates can't be held accountable?

Though if he's talking about QB in a round about way there he might be right.
