Just curious as to which player personnel decision did you disagree with that the Packers ended up getting right? Could be a player they held onto or got rid of. Maybe a draft pick that pissed you off at the time?
I want to hear what you were wrong about.
Lots of people wanted to move on from Adams after two seasons. I remember a ton of people thought Josh Jackson was the steal of the draft and was better than Jaire.
Mine? I was one of the idiots that wanted them to trade Adams…but my worst was I was really excited when they drafted Ahmad Carroll and Joey Thomas…
I wanted Allen Robinson over Davante.
At the time, I took my homer glasses off and gave Gute the benefit of the doubt that the combo of Kevin King and Vince Biegel would be better overall than TJ Watt. That is my most egregious one.
AJ Dillon in that 2nd round when we had jamaal and jones coming off an NFC champ game.
For me, easy - trading Favre. It was hard, he was such a legend and when he wanted to come back, seemed obvious. They got that one right, that’s for sure, but it still took a minute for us all to figure that out.
Trading Favre with a team that literally was in the NFC Championship game the year before. I thought this was the dumbest decision at the time.
At the time the only “good” Rodgers we had seen was the game vs Dallas. Before that his showings were pretty piss poor. In addition, I think in 2006 he broke his foot. There was extreme worry we are replacing a legend with a fragile below average quarterback to a team who just went to the NFCCG.
This is why with Love I tried to be more optimistic. However I haven’t seen that spark that I saw in 2008 Rodgers… yet. I didn’t want us pushing Rodgers out the door either. I really, really hope I eat my damn words on this one too.
I think my biggest roster decision was my anger with drafting Gary so high and his Wonderlic score. I wasn’t sold on it and thought it was a wasted pick.
12 year old me was really mad that they drafted a QB named Aaron Rodgers while they had Brett Favre on the team.
I went to bed so pissed the night they drafted Kenny Clark. As Goodell was walking to the podium I was saying “anyone but Clark” over and over and yea I got that wrong
