Ahman Green works out with Packers· Page 8

Packfan4, your statistics are unimpeachable, but to me they are beside the point. I've been clamoring loud and long for Wynn to be cut. I think it's ridiculous that he started the season on our roster. The fact that we're bringing in another retread RB whose statistics are marginally better than Wynn's brings me no comfort. I'll be surprised -- shocked -- if Ahman Green makes it more than a few games without appearing on the injury report.

I refuse to believe there are no better options out there. I believe there are no cheaper options out there. But better? No way.

Negativity, negativity, negativity, this board has to be the most negative Packers board i've been a part of. Again, Ahman is going to be our 3RD RB! How the hell can people complain so much about a #3 RB, are there better guys on the market? Maybe, but who cares, an upgrade is an upgrade.

I'm not complaining about the player himself, packfan4. I'm deploring the overall trend of signing cheap, injury-prone players with lots of potential or talent over reliable, perhaps less talented players who will answer the bell week after week. Cheap is great, but sometimes you need production too. And Ahman Green will give us hardly any more than we're currently getting.

I'm not saying we need to break the bank for a high-profile #1 back, but on the other hand, watching the management continue to populate our roster with #3s is growing stale. Our starters can't be expected to carry the entire load week after week.

It has nothing to do with money, any RB we sign is going to get the minimum, give or take a few bucks. We'll have to see then, if our staff thinks he is healthy and can help us, i'm on board and i'll never bash a move before the player gets a chance to prove himself. The 2nd part doesn't really make sense to me, this is a minor move, an oppurtunity to upgrade the #3 RB position and maybe even give a little spark to the RB corps as well, if he indeed, is healthy. This is a move made for the immediate future, we're not asking him to be a savior, just fill a role.

Our staff thought Bigby, Jackson, Wynn, and Clifton were healthy enough to stay on the roster. And now they think Tauscher is healthy enough to be on our roster. I don't place too much faith in our staff's ability to judge health. Remember, the doctors pay for the privilege of working for the team -- they don't work for the players.

You're blaming in-season injuries, aside from Jackson, on the coaching staff? Why do you think Tausch isn't healthy enough to be on our roster, the doctors said he'd be good to go by Oct.1st, we're 10 days away from November. I guess it boils down to 1 thing, I trust the people who run our team. Too much? Maybe, but i'm an eternal optimist and i'll always look on the bright side of things until proven differently. Have they made mistakes? Sure, but what teams have an instant solution to every potential injury on the roster? Packer fans in general have grown into a very impatient, and negative group ever since #4 departed. Maybe our expectations have grown a little too high after the 16 year run Favre gave us? This team isn't far away from being very good, just have faith and be freakin positive for once folks! It's good for ya :icon_smile:

Dude, I think I made it clear that I don't think they entered this season healthy. But I'm done with this topic. I don't like being pessimistic, so I'll hope for the best. I'm just weary of this team signing injury-prone players instead of less flashy, more reliable ones.

How great of a story would it be if he came back and was amazing??? Not saying its gonna happen, but Ahman was always a packer, and if he works out well I say play him.

At this stage, he's a third down back. Which is what the Packers need.
Green can pick up blitzes AND more importantly, catch the ball out of the backfield. They can run screens and dump the ball off to him.
Hope he's still got some speed.

We were told that the primary reason we kept Wynn was that he could pick up blitzes too. 😉

This signing isn't anything to give anyone a boner for excitement. Green can be a good 3rd down back for us, I think.

Those who want a young RB, really? Another unproven RB would just make you bitch about that too.

The Packers DID something. Small, maybe useless, but Jesus fracking Christ they DID something.
