I'm not "down" on Shields persay. I'm down on players sucking and hurting the team.

Well he didn't suck or hurt the team at gunner where he got to the returner so fast the returner often had to call a fair catch. And he didn't suck or hurt the team when he caught the ball while on the defense for an INT.
The kid can cover, that's and great potential is enough to earn the kid a spot IMO.
what I did hear about this guy was how he's a great returner.

Where did you hear that? I read a lot of stuff about the Packers, and I never heard that Shields was a great returner. I heard that he was considered to have potential as a returner if he could hold onto the ball. Unfortunately, he hasn't done that. But he's been playing DB well enough to possibly make the final roster.

O there were rumors going crazy that Shields was a great returner from predraft to well into OTAs... those rumors were not true and misguided and I really don't know how they because so strong.
But people were talking about if you put the ball in his hands on a return what amazing things he could potential do, which he's speed and quickness. Probably is they forgot about something... the whole getting into his hands first and the reason he was moved to CB from WR (he can't catch).
