i could not be happier about how wrong i was!

I’m not sold on TT. We are basically one Rodgers (who did fall into TT’s lap) injury away from having a really bad offense, and on the D we’ve been largely living off turnovers and Woodson’s great play. If he’s been good at picking the talent for our team, he hasn’t been any good at picking the coaches to teach and lead this team and help it reach the heights its talent supposedly warrants.
This is TT’s sixth year and, for whatever reason, we are not an elite team. That alone makes him suspect. I also don’t think any GM should receive much credit for the players they select in the first round of the draft, unless they pick a player out of nowhere and the player becomes a star.

TT and MM obviously have faith in their depth at CB and OLB. I don't see it ... too many guys that wind up on the injury lists every year. Lee, Blackmon, even Al Harris who has missed a lot of games the past two years. At OLB Thompson has visited every specialist in the country.
Hopefully good fortune will smile upon the Packers this year on the injury front, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Raji is closer to bust than he is a solid pick at this point - and this is my point. I know, it might seem like fantasy football analysis to some of you, but when you dont produce a pass rush when you are playing outside of the nose like you are expected and are very inconsistent against the run when playing the nose (my take on raji), then you are not a solid pick and you are moving into Bust territory.
AJ Hawk is labeled as a bust by many here and has a much better resume than Raji. Yes, Raji is much younger (and bust labels arent tossed around often until year 3 - but if youre a top 10 pick IMO you need to get quality production out of them right away). Raji still hasnt shown that he is the game changer inside that we expected to get at #9 yet. Playing the nose wont produce big stats (played end last season), but he hasnt been collapsing the line yet either. Again, hopefully that begins to change. Sometimes it takes players in the NFL a year or two to figure out schemes ect. But sometimes they just never get it and never play up to expectations.

Hmmm, could you break down this paragraph a little bit ... i believe there are some problems that are a tad glossed over.
Example: Titans, good QB?
Young is an above average QB when he's motivated. When he has his head up his butt then he's reckless and a detriment to the team, but I feel like a good QB coach could reign him in. Mike Vick was the same way in ATL and look what having Andy Reid as a QB coach has done for him...he's passing like a legit QB. There are times that Young looks unstoppable, he's just inconsistent.

...and a year in Leavenworth to "reflect" prolly didn't hurt either.

I think Young is average at best when he's motivated, but below average most of the time.

A couple weeks ago I thought the Vikings would beat the Packers in a close one this past Sunday. Wrong. I also thought we'd lose to the Falcons, but I think I'm going to be wrong about that one too.
Based on his past coaching stops, I thought Caper's might have a second season slump.
I thought Bishop and Peprah would be toast in coverage.
I thought the game was the Vike's after the first quarter.
I thought the Vikings would continue to be a pest to the Packers this season. Though they still can by losing to CHI, NYG, PHI.

I was wrong when I thought Tauscher was indeed injured badly enough to be shelfed and now it's reported he might not have been. Wouldn't anyone else prefer Tauscher to be available as a contingency, let's say in late December if Beluga or Clifton go down? Same with Al Harris.

Is shelfing someone elves do in December?
No I was wrong for this one kento?

Collins is closer to Bigby than he is to "the hair." Does any one think he may have been advised to sign because there was little to expect in the market? Thus revealing his true worth? Now that he signed, no one can point out he wasn't getting any offers. He ain't that good P'boi. Above average is where I see his play. Kind of like A.J. Hawk. These are the type of players you want on your team as long as they don't listen to too many fans.

i'm pretty sure the packers decided that tausher was done as an effective player, injury or not.

He's having a better year this year no doubt. At the time I think my assessment was accurate. I always contended he had more talent than his performance indicated. He is picking up his performance though. Polamalu is clearly the cream.

That's when he becomes a trustable back-up in a playoff situation. For now, which rookie will step in at OT if an injury occurs?
I mixed up Jay Schroeder and Jay Fiedler in a post.
And I'm originally from the MKE area, so I should've known better.

I thought Starks had what it takes to be good, I just didn't expect this much from him in his 1st game after 23 months away from football contact.
I was majorly unimpressed with Raheem Morris during his initial press conference as head coach of the Buccaneers and was sure they would be awful for a few years and then he would get canned. Me wrongy.
I admit, I thought TT's biggest bashers and those complainers about the running game would man up. I was wrong.
I could make the same statement TD. Turns out we were right about BJax. He's about to be replaced on run downs and returned to passing down duty where he belongs.
As far as the replacement, that's where I'm wrong. I'm stoked about Starks, but I thought the chances of him being ready to carry the load for this team were slim at best (as compared to acquiring someone). Starks has to continue to produce and stay healthy, but I'm hopeful.
I'll gladly eat that bit of crow.

Jackson is still going to play on early downs too.
He's not going to play all three downs all of the time. That was your idea, not MM's.
The only argument you were proven right on was the one between the voices in your head.
You might as well go "all in" on the crow, because if you don't think that TT considered all options (which included Starks) before he made his decision not to better the Seahawks offer then you have another one coming.

LOL, yes, of course BJax will be in there on some early downs. I'm guessing that Starks will be in there for the majority of running plays, which are usually on early downs.
Like I said in another thread it will be interesting to see who the carries go to.

The running game is terrible, you're kidding right? We are a 1-dimensional offense.

Too bad Packers players like Raji and Nelson don't read here.
Was wrong in an earlier thread when I said I had heard that Starks would be released, then put on the practice squad. I can't remember where I heard that (probably some other board).
I can see why the Pack didn't want to do that with Starks, he might have more pure running ability than any healthy back on the roster.

People! This thread was created so you could admit that you were wrong, not others! Get with the program.
You were wrong to think people would admit they were wrong.
If I had more time I'd explain Christmas to you...but for now let's just say it's a big building with doctors in it.
Clifton seems to have nine lives. I for one thought he was done and hoped for another veteran stop gap for a year until Bulaga was ready (assuming at the time he was the heir apparent).
