FWIW, Gregg's hiring may have a bigger mistake than the decision to fire Starr. Part of the reason he was brought in was his reputation of being tough and hard-nosed, and supposedly that's just what the Packers needed. He was that indeed, but it translated poorly to the players, and we pretty much sucked the next few years until the Majik era.Without knowing the details, my recollection is that Jefferson did not have near the stats he had while with the Chargers and I was disappointed. I thought I heard he wasn't much of a practice player and it caught up to him.
At the time I loved the trade but it seemed obvious that JJ did not fit the GB offense, the discontent with Gregg I am not sure about but the knee injury seemed to end his Gb career (traded to Clevland for a 7th?)
