[QUOTE="TOPackerFan, post: 35999, member: 28"] IPB, we're obviously talking about 2 different things. You're bloviating on about the way Gilbert was cut in 2003 and I'm talking about why he's not playing in Green Bay, or anywhere else in the NFL, in 2005. I didn't like that Gilbert wasn't allowed to come back and say goodbye to the Packer faithful. I have no idea why this was the case but it's totally irrelevant to the question of whether Gilbert should still be playing. Mike Sherman cut Gilbert and 31 other teams, again with more knowledgeable football people than either you or I, passed on him and continue to pass on him despite the fact that he, in his prime, was a 350 pound run-stuffer - which, in case you haven't noticed, are extremely rare. Do you think Mike Sherman is so well respected around the NFL that his word with respect to Gilbert is gospel or determinative? The answer of course is no. Those 31 other temas passed for a reason i.e. he can't play anymore. That's the bottom line. I also find your comment that you ""were to test Gravedigger against Gravy Jackson on the scrimmage line and both were just coming off six game stints in real season play - I would take Gilbert Brown, right now" pretty interesting. You must have been invited to his private workouts because that's the only way to make that analysis. I guess being the president of your own fan club affords you some preferential treatment by ex-Packers. Gilbert was a warrior and was one of my favourite Packers, but bringing him back now makes no sense. I also think it's pretty easy to say he'd play for free given that due to his 11 years of service in the NFL he has to make at least $750,000. [/QUOTE]
