[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 37669, member: 195"] I admit I don't follow the NFL closely enough to know about all the players who are out of work and could be signed. So I've learned something here. However, I never even heard of this Pathon guy, and it says in the article cited by Bobby that Mike Holmgren cut Pathon because he didn't like to play special teams. That's not a very impressive attitude, to say the least. As for Scottie Vines, he was no more qualified than Thurman in terms of experience. Then we have Freddie Mitchell, who everybody knows is no good. I don't think anybody ever signed him. So I'm still not convinced that there were good receivers out there before Gardner became available. And by the way, I HAD heard of Grady Jackson, who has always been a monster in the middle when he actually wants to play, and who will usually get a burst of energy when he signs with a new team. He was not high-risk for the modest salary he was paid when he signed, and if the Packers hadn't been lucky enough to be the first team that had a shot at him on waivers, he would've been snapped up by another team in a heartbeat. Bruce, I do give Sherman credit for a lot of things. He coached this team to records of 9-7, 12-4, 12-4, 10-6, and 10-6 before this year. The Packers always had one of the better offenses in the league under Sherman, mostly with Wolf's picks, but Sherman boldly went out and got Javon Walker and also acquired some good role players, like Davenport, Fisher, and Luchey. I don't think he was a bad GM. I think he was an average GM, and is a slightly above average coach. There's no shame in that. But he is what he is. [/QUOTE]
