Spitz love just won't go away. :)

(shaking head)

Okay, Spitz has more trade value than Barbre. So do the mice in the Don Hutson center.

Count me among those utterly shocked if Barbre/Spitz/Colledge -- any of them -- bring more than a 6th rounder in 2012, a 7th rounder in 2011, or a LB that would be more than #7-8 on the current depth chart.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I think you might be misunderstanding the premise of this trade.

Your WRONG! ... I understand the idea of a trade and I got your point the first time, so you don't have to keep repeating yourself. Why do you keep assuming I don't know what your talking about? Do you think your smarter than everyone or something?

I have a different view point of then you do. That's it!... I agree with your point about that is possible, but it's not what they have done in the past. I disagree with you assuming I don't understand you.

I just don't think Thompson would "bite the bullet" (as you called it). Why? Because he hasn't... not saying he couldn't but he hasn't. Thompson has kept all his players unless they were going to get cut or demanded out. (well other than Favre but that's a whole different story).

Thompson doesn't seem to see players as expendable unless they can't make the 53 man roster or are becoming a problem and are demanding out (not counting the times they were over the cap limit (because of another GM) and had to cut some guys or give some of the mearly bonuses (like the other GM did and would of done)). Your talking about what could they be doing, I'm talking about what has the current group in control done. Two different things.

Could they change their ideas? Yes just like they changed their ideas about trading up for a player in the draft in a while. But they haven't done it yet.


At worst, Spitz is a quality reserve with plenty of starting experience who can fill in at guard or center in case of injury. That's critical for a team who as aspirations for making a deep playoff run this year. Most people thought we'd trade Wells a year ago after Spitz won the starting center job, but we held onto him and were fortunate that we did after Spitz went down for the year.

That's why I've been anti trading Spitz and that's why I think the Packers will be, and that seems to go along how they're been thinking of don't trade players unless they can't make the roster or are causing locker room problems.


Also I've read Barbre is sitting out... is he injured or looking into a trade for him? He has played decent at LG so anytime looking for a decent OG might look at him. (He's not bad to horrible at OT, but alright at OG) but not enough to make the roster IMO. Trade a guy that's going to be cut anyways.

haha, you're funny dude. I'm not going to get into with you. I'm not even advocating trading Spitz, which you seem to assume. I'm just arguing the thought process of looking into it. I try to understand each point of view, whether it's what I would do or not. I said I THINK you MIGHT be misunderstanding the idea of this trade, because that's how it seemed to me. You want to speak about your opinion but when I give mine it's "WRONG." Wow. Point taken. Perhaps you can be clearer and I can try to be more understanding next time.

But yeah, you continue to act all angry and such over a simple debate.

Funny.

I don't really have anything to say about this, but I guess considering where its going, I do have to.

I don't see Jason Spitz being traded. He's one of the better more versatile OL we have.

Seeing him stay would be my preference. But like I said, I can see the logic of looking into it. Thompson looks into most things, such as free agents and such, even though nothing happens. Part of being thorough.

Perhaps the team doesn't have much confidence in his ability to stay healthy?

I would like to see us keep Spitz because of his versatility, as mentioned above. We are going to have to cut some players that will play well in this league. I would like to see us get something for them. Ted Thompson is pretty good at finding some talent in the later rounds, the more picks, the better the chances. Or use them to trade up.

Thanks :thumbleft: .... and no I haven't assuming your "advocating trading Spitz"/ I know your "just arguing the thought process of looking into it" .... and I'm just arguing that Thompson hasn't seem to use that thought process as of yet.

Your opinion wasn't wrong, just your thinking of I might misunderstanding was. I do get upset when people seem to be talking down to me. Like you assumed that I misunderstood, that I didn't get your point and than I assumed, when I didn't do any of those, right now.

You argued a thought process and I argued the current group in charge of the Packers have seemly not been using that thought process. It is a thought process other teams have used though.
