Publicly, Ted Thompson never evinced the slightest true interest in Vick. His response when questioned about Vick was the same response he gives about any player. It was the functional equivalent of "We're keeping our options open."

When has Ted ever shown any interest in any aquisition the packers have ever made before they were actually packers? And compared to the hell no's from a lot of other teams options open seems like interested to me just not "whatever it takes" interested. If my memory serves me correctly weren't we one of about 6/7 teams keeping our "options open".

That argument makes no sense. Players with rings are cut all the time. Yes, even on the Packers.

Would really like to see the rest, but since I am cheap, will need someone to post the entire article.

I won't post the entire thing, but here are snippets that might interest you...

One of Bigby's teammates, cornerback Charles Woodson, is confident that when the Chicago Bears show up at Lambeau Field the night of Sept. 13 old No. 20 will show up as well.

"I know that in regular-season game time, (expletive), he's a stud," Woodson said Sunday

Is Smith's overall game somewhat erratic?

"He's aggressive," McCarthy replied. "Depends on how you want to classify him."

"He's truly a strong safety," a member of the Steelers' football operation said in March shortly after the Packers signed Smith for $1.485 million over two years ($100,000 roster bonus). "He's a tough guy, but he can't run. That's his problem."

in your opinion it makes no sense, the packers are the youngest team in the nfl at least going into this season, so wouldnt i want a guy who 1st is a good player, and 2nd a guy who just won a superbowl maybe lend some experience to the younger guys who havent been there before!!

makes plenty of sense to me !!

I normally would say that this may have some kind of validity to it but frankly in this case it's a stab in the dark.
Until we play Thursday night it's guess work...what if Bigby starts and tears a ACL ? OR another safety? Change of plans.
One factor your forgetting is this year it's Dom Capers defense and if Dom wants Smith you can damn well bet he sticks. ( that was part of the deal when he was hired bet on it)
As far as Bishop starting over Hawk......unless he Hawk totally bombs there is a snow balls chance in hati of that happening. Bank it.

Ah, well, that makes a lot more sense. The way you originally wrote it, it sounded to me like you were making a general statement that would apply to any team in any situation. If what you're saying is that he would be a good fit for the Packers specifically because of the relative inexperience of the team, then I would say you have an interesting argument. I'm not sure how much weight it holds with the coaching staff in the big picture, but it's certainly a factor to consider.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
