He’s a douchebag, but he can really play when his head is on straight. He reminds me of Romanowski. But I’m not sure having a Romanowski or Shockey level douche on the team is worth even winning a Super Bowl. Crazy guys or flakes are okay in my book, but the selfish boor type, they’re no good no matter how it works out.

I would rather see them draft a TE than pull the trigger on this. There is enough talent in the draft at TE – no need to bring all of the baggage that comes with Shockey. If the draft were weaker at TE, I might see this differently.

But lets all just be glad that the Pack is involved in trade talks. Just more proof that TT understands all aspects of being a GM.

I wouldn’t mind rolling the dice on this if Rodgers already had at least one full year under center. To do it this year though, the overall risk to Rodgers and the team as a whole might outweigh the short/medium term benefit. Plus, there’s the whole “tool’ factor, which he is quite a large one.

Ditto what Brats said.

Although, you do have to wonder how fragile Eli’s psyche is to let such a turd get into his head so much…

Tempting, but Shockey is such an asshat. And he’d hate it in Green Bay — too far from the nearest SCORES.
