Interesting column by Mike V, putting forth a 'shoulda, woulda, coulda' thing that I guess you need at least a little gray around the temples to really appreciate....and I don't mean to slam you young guys for your youthful inexperience (more eighties slams - thanks to Ronald Reagan for that quip).
Bart had 8 years to turn the Pack around and never quite got above mediocre - the slam on the defenses of that era are well earned and deserved, make no mistake about it...and then to be followed by four years of Forrest Gregg's tenure --- ugh, I say ... UGH!!! I really and truly believe that the Packers were only a defense away from winning the whole shebang, and I'm not even trying to draw a comparison to today's Pack. I'm saying that there was NO defense in '82, '83 and '84 for that matter. Makes today's D look functional.
I remember the squealing section of Packer Nation back then gurgling about the Packers under Bart Starr having too many "model citizens". This is, until Forrest Gregg took over - that wasn't a problem under Gregg to be sure.
For once, the comments following the story are useful. Good points in all of them -- but I give my nod of approval to Jose Sanchez's comments.
