Laugh it up, you idiots. All I know is that if Ted hadn't sat on his hands as he always does, GB would've won the Super Bowl in 2010 with Lynch.
When John Schneider left GB, he had some interesting comments and one of them was the frustration he had working under Thompson
He did all the research and prepared the info, but few deals ever happened and that's gotta be tough on a young executive
Then when he got to Seattle, he and Pete Carrol got busy in a hurry, inking FAs and making lots of moves to rebuild the roster
Unfortunately, many of them have not worked out. Tavaris Jackson was a waste and so was Charlie Whitehurst. Not sure if TJ Who'syermama was his call but they also invested in a several others that did not pan out.
Ted surely isn't perfect, but perhaps Mr Schneider is learning the lesson that Andrew Brandt often talks about- sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make
And sticking with good citizens has a huge value in Green Bay WI, and maybe in Seattle too
Draft and develop really works, but ya gotta be patient and you have to accept that most improvement comes from within

Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch had another brush with the law this weekend. And while nothing is official yet of course from the league, the buzz seems to be that he could facing real trouble in the form of a suspension.
Here's the link: http://content.usatoday.com/co...n-suspicion-of-dui/1
Clipped from the USA Today story: "According to the San Jose Mercury News, Lynch was detained during a traffic stop by the California Highway Patrol on Saturday night, and his blood-alcohol level was found to be over the legal limit of 0.08.
"A highway patrol spokesman said Lynch was cooperative, consenting to the blood test once he was custody.
"Lynch was cited for two misdemeanor charges, driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level over the legal limit."
------------
First things first - there is clearly more of this to play out. Lynch will have due process and the benefits of our legal system as we get the full story.
Unfortunately for Lynch, the NFL and Roger Goodell don't operate under the same rules as our legal system. The fact that Lynch has already seen previous trouble has lots of people thinking this incident could be extremely costly. Lynch had his license revoked in 2008 after an incident where his car struck a pedestrian. And in 2009, he was suspended three games for a misdemeanor weapons charge. Adam Schefter posted on his twitter feed "Looks like one of the biggest hits of the summer will be the one the NFL puts on Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch." Ross Tucker on the NFL Radio on Sirius this morning said he could envision a 6-8 game suspension for Lynch if he's guilty of this incident.
All that is just speculation of course. And it all is based on the assumption this this incident happened exactly as it's being reported. But those are not big reaches.
Right now it's looking bad for Marshawn Lynch.

Still hasn't won one with Brent.
But, you know what?
Marshawn Lynch DUI demands respect.
A James Starks or Ryan Grant DUI would get no respect.

Kuhn isn't even allowed to have a DUI as a runningback
I bet the Seahawks are regretting the deal they gave Lynch.
Some priceless comments here
I had honestly forgotten how stupid chickenboy is. Thanks for the link. It reminded me how a skid mark-free world is better.
Underwear clean now? 
I had to peruse the link back thanks to CAPF. what a thread. here's a gem.
guess who? hint: cockledoodledoo
quote:If Lynch and Grant switched places, I'd give up a second for Grant now. I'd give up Nelson, who was a second round pick, for Lynch now.

A lot in that old Lynch thread was concern about his turd factor. Seems like many:
a - recognized Lynch had/has talent
b - the Packers did not need a 1000 yard RB to win the SB (which they did)
c - people are stubborn

Depending on when the suspension comes, and I'd be shocked if he doesn't get suspended, this could open a spot for Grant or even Benson.
The calls for Thompson to be fired for not getting Lynch are the funniest part of that thread...
Although...
"And now the Hags have FOUR RBs better than the Pack. Forsett, Washington, Jones and now Lynch."
"Ted should look into trading himself. This is inexcusable."
"i don't want to come off as anti-TT but this is unforgiveable."
"the Packers are the losers in this deal for staying with Jackson and Kuhn."
"This is a fireable offense. Thompson is not ready for primetime."
"If you aren't willing to acknowledge that an upgrade to Lynch at RB would help this team win the Super Bowl, I can't help you...you're living in denial."

Fireable offense. Best comment of them all.

I went back and read through the Lynch thread.
Wow. Weapons Grade DERP in that one.
Packers by Position: Running Backs
"McCarthy prefers the backfield-by-committee approach and has made Van Pelt acutely aware what he wants for his Aaron Rodgers-led attack.
"In our room we talk about protecting our football and protecting our quarterback," said Van Pelt. "That's where it really starts. The rest is a bonus.
"The biggest thing in this system as running backs is, 'Let's get what's there. We don't have to get explosive runs. Let's gain the 4 yards we're supposed to get and keep it in manageable down and distance.' And we have a group that's very capable of doing that."
more from the McGinn article:
"Four teams already stocked with at least one high-octane running back - Chicago, Kansas City, Carolina and San Francisco - went out and got themselves another in free agency last spring.
The Bears signed Michael Bush from Oakland, the Chiefs signed Peyton Hillis from Cleveland, the Panthers signed Mike Tolbert from San Diego and the 49ers signed Brandon Jacobs after his release by the New York Giants.
In Green Bay, where coach Mike McCarthy's team passed more and with greater efficiency in 2011 than ever before, the Packers elected to stand pat."
Different teams have different personnel and different strategies....imagine that
