Goodbye Packers, Hello ...
The dour and confusing dispatches from the ice-crusted plains of Packerland have not improved.On the plus side, at least we've not been treated to any pictures of "Teen Wolf" Thompson sleeping at the combine. Although I'm not sure which scenario brings us a worse result, "Teen Wolf" working really hard, or slacking off.
On Brett:
I don't know why he wants to publically force the Packers to kick him out to the cow pasture, but that's what he's doing. His comments make no sense, even for him (which is saying a lot). There are only three options here.
1) Brett wants the team to "force" him out or cut him, allowing him to save face and play for someone else, saying, "Hey, I wanted to play, they didn't want me."
2) It is known that Brett has been talking to "Teen Wolf" somewhat frequently. It's possible that he's fallen for "Teen Wolf's" frankenberry-like smoothtalk and believes that the Packers are about to put a better team on the field by bringing in some top talent. I wouldn't advise that he hold his breath on that.
3) Brett and "Teen Wolf" are playing an pseudo-intellectual game of battleship (probably with real plastic ships at their side), trying to pin the other down and force the other to make a move. Wrap your head around THAT one! A country bumkin with more guts than brains vs a beady-eyed, self-styled genius with a head like a crouton.
Anyway, it's all too depressing.
I don't even know what the Packers should do at this point.
Sign Drew Brees? Trade down in the draft? Take Williams? Take Hawk? Take the best QB left on the board?
I have NO idea, because I don't think anything can save them now. I mean, how good can a team be with Kurt Schottenheimer playing an important role?
I do know that according to the many things I've read about "Teen Wolf", he will stubbornly take the best player on the board at the time, regardless of position, OR trade down if he feels he can get similar value at a lower spot.
He will NOT draft for need, and normally I can see a blade of wisdom in that philosophy, but like everything else, "Teen Wolf" takes it to a dumb extreme.
Yes, the Packers have many needs, and yes I think it's wrong to draft purely on need and pass over more talented picks, ...but with SO MANY needs on their team, I think "Teen Wolf" has to prioritize. Otherwise, he's in a situation where ANY pick can be justified, and we all know that is not a reality.
His priority should be in this order: QB, Defensive line, linebacker, secondary, RB.
Why QB? Because it's the toughest position to fill, Rodgers is not the answer, and if there is a stud sitting at #5, take him.
But that's two months away and I'm too depressed to keep it in my mind for that long, ...so to finish the sentence in the title of this post ...hello BREWERS.
