They went 9-6-1 last year without the best RB in the NFL. Prior to that they've had pretty good seasons. And no, a bunch of Randall Cobbs would most assuredly NOT beat a team of Suhs and Talibs (if for no other reason than putting a bunch of Talibs on the field would scare any sane human from playing against them).And at what point did I argue that talented guys can't be team-first? The Packers have had plenty. I was simply pointing out that excluding talented guys just because they're more publicly outgoing in expressing their feelings isn't a great idea. Great talents tend to win out in the NFL. Randy Moss is a great example of this. I know fans want the players on their favorite teams to be "humble" and "sacrifice for the team" but the reality is that those guys are few and far between, relying on finding enough of them is awfully tough in the NFL. Take attitude into account, but don't just fly off with "I DON'T WANT THAT PLAYER, HE'S TOO COCKY!"Finally, I would imagine that many might disagree with you putting Jennings in this category.</blockquote>
