In general I agree with this too; these guys have done a great job but the roster is also weak at RB and I really don't understand why Wynn is still on the roster - even if Beaver is not signed to replace him. I really don't see much upside to Wynn. But the horse is dead so lets all raise our PBRs. Na zdorovye, Prost, Cheers, Skål, and the like. “I do know that in general Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy have shown themselves to be very good judges of talent and I’m willing to trust them and their better knowledge of how players perform.”

I too will admit my tendency with MM/TT is to defer to their demonstrated ability to make personnel decisions as they seem to have done a good job of putting talent together and winning with it. That said, I still think there are some things they do from time to time that don't quite line up (like keeping 13 receivers on the roster). We'll see though - I still contend that his versatility, massive college production even at D-III, and attitude will be an asset someday to some NFL team. (By the way, if the Packers don't pick him up yet, my guess is the Colts may, they liked him after his Pro Day). PackerBelle - good point.

I will say that none of us were present at the rookie camp and saw how he performed - the coaches were. It may be that something happened there that led to him not getting signed. I don't know.

And since awhayes is driving out here, I assume he will be bringing at least three cases of Pabst Light -- the anti-hangover beer -- which is not yet available in these backward parts of our fine country.

I will soon reunite with brother Steve for a visit with his family and Pabst will no doubt be a priority.

How many of his touches have you broken down on tape? You seem certain that, based on stats and stats alone, Beaver is a much better prospect for the Packers' offense than Lumpkin. What do you know that Thompson and his staff do not...? Inquiring minds want to know! Also - how many games did you see Lumpkin play? How many of his touches have you broken down on tape?

I can only take your word that Beaver is such a prodigious talent. I suspect this whole argument is moot anyway. Beaver will most likely get his chance after the next owners meeting, where it seems the owners will increase rosters to 86, now that NFL Europa is no more. Joe,
