ryan grant holding out is actually a bigger problem for green bay right now than the favre saga.
Packers RB Grant misses workouts, seeks new contract
I disagree...
grant, a number 5 selection for the giants, who really hasn't proven himself , but now wants 'mo money' ...
lets see what ryan grant does WITHOUT defenses keyed up to stopping brett favres passing game !
any running back can have one great year, especially when their QB sets world passing records that very same season....coicidence ??
remember, grant couldn't even make the giants for christs sake....
he's good, but, he doesn't deserve the big bucks just yet & if I were the Packers management, I would make him a fair offer, but wouldn't pay him the kings ransom until he's productive for at least 1 more season....
the death of ALL teams, is a QB controversy....
and this controversy ain't just an average one, its involving the legendary brett favre....if the media made such a big a deal about wrex/orton/greasy, imagine what they'll do (& are already doing) with favres story....
talk about a MAJOR distraction for the players & coaches (fans too)...
favre = manny ramirez....
which I'm starting to think = BEOTCH
I read most of your post. I stopped when you got more than a light year off anything resembling the point,
and had drug in the 1,000th irrelevant factoid.
. I have developed, over the course of reading your posts
for years, a specialized JCC filter.
I watched every single snap of every single packer game for the past, oh, three years, for sure. and I probably haven't
missed three games since God invented satellite television.
ryan grant gained a thousand yards on very few carries, in what was a very pass-oriented offense, especially early in
the season. he averaged over 5 yards per carry, and THAT is a big deal, PERIOD.
and, if you read my post, you will notice I didn't touch on what he may or may not deserve in terms of compensation, I
merely pointed out that he was holding out, and that his holdout was a bigger deal that the favre drama. it's a foregone
conclusion that favre won't be back, so his ultimate disposition impacts the team very little.
and I can assure you that the difference between 8-8 and 13-3 was ryan grant, irrespective of who would have been QB.
