For a decade & a half this team was an annual contender & division titles were expected. Now all we hope for is to be competitive in the division. How sucky is that? :no: :no:
WoodyG said:Cole played 4 years in GB. The only time he received any substantial playing time was due to injury to someone else. Think of it. Cole had no Pro-Bowl players in front of him (Pickett, Jolly, Harrell & Williams) but yet he couldn't subplant any of them in 4 years. Cole is at best a back-up who just got over-paid like most FAs.
The current roster & the draft will produce a better DL than free agency ever could.

Yeah, totally agree with you. I rather have a cheap **** Rexy... Or maybe the great Gus Frerotte... It's not just 8 games, you forget that this guy has been in here for 3 years, and the coaches and personnel evaluate him every day... and he's 24, if you want to talk about age. What has Phillip Rivers done better than Rodgers? Or Jay Cutler? Those guys get more money than him... It's one thing to dislike the administration, but to criticize EVERY MOVE... And Canty WAS overpaid. Look at Aaron Smith. He's mile ahead of Canty, and he doesn't get the money this guy just got... I would like to have Canty in Green and Gold, don't care how much it would cost, because you need to utilize your cap space to get good players, it's the GM job to do it, but to say he wasn't ovarpaid it's not true...doughsellz said:BTW, if you want to talk about overpaid, look no further than GB's #12. Great guy & good player but give me a break. His mid-season contract was unwarranted & mostly undeserved for a guy 8 games into his 1st starting season.
LOL!!!!!!freefromwhatyouare said:Wow!
Now Rodgers is over-paid?
They were jealous of Favre for 17 years and now it's Aarons turn.
I hate when Bears fans sneak in here.
doughsellz said:Maybe NYG paid too much for a guy that's better suited to play the 3-4 but it's a fact that GB needed him a whole lot more than NYG, therefore he was worth the $$$ to come to GB, if just for the experience in the system.

This isn't Fantasy Football. You can't throw money in all directions just to spend it. Canty is a DL. Comparing his contract to a QBs contract is absurd. The most critical spot on any NFL team is the QB.
A-Rod's contract will seem like a steal after he plays in the next few Pro-Bowls.
At least you didn't mention that 'old, retired' QB to make your point.

What are you basing this statement on? The fact that Canty played DE in a 3-4 so well in his years at DAL that Demarcus Ware became a superstar playing OLB behind him? He's 26 years old & has 2 or more of his best years ahead of him.
