Dez Bryant Is A Pill The Packers Need To Swallow

I loved Golden Richards, Bob “The Bullet” Hayes, Lance “Bambi” Alworth. I hated with a passion and still hate “Cocaine” Michael Irvin and Terrell (I will never call him TO because he likes it) Owens. And I never liked Dez Bryant. OBTW I hated and still hate Deion Sanders, even though he has nothing to do with this article except he is a former Cowboy I despise even more now that he is a talking head. That said the other talking heads I don’t despise are buzzing about the Packers maybe signing Bryant and I might agree it might be a good move.

FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART चौंतीस

DÉJÀ VU RIDICULOUS

J-Al at Mini-Camp

I had my doubts about all the “glowing” accolades the Packers No. 1 draft pick got from the local kiss-ass media, especially since none of them on draft day had a thing to say about the “Buckley Rule”, which Hall of Famer Ron Wolf lived by after he made the mistake of drafting its namesake and Ted Thompson also followed the whole time he was Packers Head Honcho until he was forced to share his job with “Gute” at least in name only.

The Packers Punting Game Is In The Hands and Feet Of Babies

Friday the Packers solidified (let’s hope) its kicking game with the signing of 5th round draft pick (#138) punter J.K. Scott and 7th round draft pick (#239) long snapper Hunter Bradley and the cutting of last year’s punter Justin Vogel, which added to not offering a tender to long-time long snapper Brett Goode means the Packers will begin the 2018 season with rookies in 2 of the 3 critical kicking positions without any fallback position in the case both or either fail.

This seems like a  classic Ted “one of the best talent evaluators that have ever done this” Thompson move like leaving no viable backups for the offensive line or just undrafted free agents as backups for the secondary, so it just proves that Thompson is still running the Packers show and not his personal puppet Brian Gutekunst. When will we ever get rid of him?

Post Draft Analysis

2018 was supposed to be a new beginning with Executive Vice President/General Manager/Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson pushed out after 13 seasons at the helm and a brand new younger General Manager taking over in hopes of revitalizing the Packers after seven years of atrophy following the team’s fifth Super Bowl appearance and fourth Super Bowl title falling from Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers to the “Just Good Enough” Packers where the front office was “just” happy to make the playoffs each year before having the playoff streak of 8 snapped last year when the loss of Aaron Rodgers showed the talent level of the next 52 plus 10 was not even average in the NFL. Sorry for the long sentence.

However, the “Big” change was only cosmetic. Ted Thompson wasn’t fired or retired he was just bumped upstairs as a senior advisor The “New” General Manager Brian Gutekunst was not new he was actually Thompson’s assistant and Russ Ball, another Thompson assistant, was also promoted to Director of Football Operations as CEO Mark Murphy restructured the front office to take Thompson’s 3 jobs and move the power into the himself, Gutekunst and Ball.
