Aaron Kampman, Spencer Havner, how many of these marginally talented white guys have we gone through? And the crowd loves 'em every time.

Fans also liked William Henderson, Bubba Franks, Donald Lee, Corey Williams, Aaron Rouse, Will Blackmon, Davon House, marginal black players...

Fans like certain players ... hell for a while there seemed to be a push by fans to bench Nick Collins for Aaron Rouse... because Rouse could catch an INT (after giving up a TD) ... where Collins at the time seemed like knock a ton of balls down but couldn't catch a pass throw to him it seemed like early on in his career.

Looks like you set up a fake argument for you to complain about... I never said Kuhn is a bone-crusher (because he's not), or a fast RB (because he's not), or that he's Packers People (though he probably is, that also is irrelevant to the subject)

Packers seem to bring in another FB every single year, and even drafted two, Korey Hall and Quinn Johnson... and some how Kuhn gets up on the final 53 man roster and the other guy sooner or later disappears.

They've had other FBs that better fit want you seemed to suggested you wanted and they got cut. Which might mean the Packers are looking for something other than just bone-crushing blocks and speed... like maybe the best overall versatile that is a 10/jack of most/all trades that gives them the best chance to win... maybe that's why they have kept Kuhn around this long. Nothing to do with Packers people or not.

But like I think you suggested, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Packers using more TE/H-back sets where a TE is in the back field, nor surprised about a TE or two drafted.

And actually I just forgot to mention the bone-crushing blocking in my first post.

Also, we don't spend any valuable picks trying to get a top notch fullback. We use our garbage picks or street free agents for some competition for Kuhn. Are we really trying all we can do to run the football?

If it's irrelevant (like you claim) then why would you a valuable draft pick on it? Doesn't make sense to me... sounds like Al Davis talking about using 1st round picks on kickers because they're the best at their position.

Also what's a "valuable" draft pick?, just wondering where the line is between valuable draft pick and garbage draft pick.


And to answer your question... are we do everything we can do to run the ball? ... No, the Packers are a pass first offensively minded team, and rarely if ever to pass first offensively teams ever do everything they can to run the ball. Just like a lot of running teams don't do everything they can for the pass the ball.

That's not to say after a few years I don't learn what their skin color is. It just doesn't matter to me. As far as I am concerned ALL Packers are green.

I'm not going to talk to you like you're a 4 year old like I do others in this forum. Keep up!

Love the off season...
Nerd rips every player and coach like they have somehow personally offended him.

Dakotat turns every thread iinto a political debate.

The laughs just keep on coming.

How many weeks until the draft?

That ought to be interesting.

Damn those coaches for keeping the best 53 they thought could help win the most games for them! And not keeping the bone crushing FB...

More serious those... how many bone crushing FBs are there, that can keep making a good teams 53 man roster? Very few... that's why so few teams have a true very good bone crushing FB ... because most of them no longer exists... (for the most part )
