[QUOTE="porky88, post: 133154, member: 489"] Not the comparison I was making. Rison was a mid season pickup as well. I was trying to think of the only "diva" receiver the Packers had in the Favre era. Javon Walker was a draft pick so that really doesn't fit. Sharpe was a draft pick as well. The only "diva receiver" who we went out and signed was Andre Rison and we decided to keep an injured Robert Brooks rather than pay Rison a big contract after the Super Bowl as well. Rison left for big money in Kansas City. The rest of our receivers were relatively quiet guys who were not high draft picks. Freeman, Brooks, and Driver. Same with TE's. 66 continues to say Ron Wolf went out and made a lot of moves. Jermey Shockey is a TE with a lot of baggage. He goes out and parties a lot. He loves the spotlight. He is not what I would call a good "character guy" Keith Jackson was signed for the 96 season. Just the opposite. A veteran looking for a ring and a stand up guy. You look at all of Ron Wolf's pickups. They all had little to no baggage. Reggie White was a class act. Sean Jones was as classy as they get. Santana Dotson. The guys people keep mentioning for the Packers are guys with a lot of baggage. Randy Moss and Jeremy Shockey to be specific. Last year Terrell Owens. I agree we need the talent at those respective positions but maybe not those players. [/QUOTE]
