[QUOTE="Clay's Jock Strap, post: 269237, member: 1977"] That is understood StyleZ... Green Bay will never be desirable to some people. However, it has a reputation that is not fully deserved - just listen to Woodson and what he has to say. He had one thought before coming to GB and has a totally different one now. Many players DO grow up and find different priorities in life once they get families. Some NEVER grow up. Many of these players you can do without, and some have a ton of talent and it is unfortunate that you have to say good bye to them. I would also imagine that to players who really want to make it in the league, there is not enough time away from studying and working out to worry about partying during the season. They have all off season at home (or wherever they wish to spend their time) to worry about that. Green Bay has changed a LOT since I was a kid growing up there. When I go home these days it is strange. Much is similar but it is surreal because it is also so much different - sort of like a Twilight Zone episode. If you REALLY need to party and get away from it all, Milwaukee is less than 2 hours up the road. Before anyone laughs at that idea, in big cities, it takes just as long to travel 20% as far due to traffic. All in all, there is nothing we can do if a player tries GB and it isn't for them. It is like food... It is one thing to say you don't like something and you've never tried it - but if you have and still don't like it there isn't much that can be done. New York isn't for everyone either. All in all, I think this poll is indicative of the perceptions of young guys who have never been to GB. Many end up liking it once they've tried it. If they ever do away with the draft it may be more of an issue. But as long as the draft exists, the young guys have little say in where they end up. As I said, once there, hopefully their attitude changes. With respect to FA, I still think that to most players the motivating factors are MONEY and the chance to WIN. As long as we are willing to bid more than the next guy and the player feels like he will have a chance to win a ring, I think we will be able to be competitive in FA... Right now, it seems we have a GM who doesn't like this avenue much. I wish he'd use it a little bit more but for the most part I think his attitude with how to build a team is the correct one. Not perfect for sure, but I'd rather take his route than Dan Snyder's any day - but I do think there is more of a middle ground too. [/QUOTE]
