[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 51912, member: 257"] Bruce, You have your stats down and make some good points. However, comparing Walker to Randel El (who is not what most would consider one of the "elite" WR in the league) is a bit of a stretch. I am not saying he is not good, but if he were one of the elite, why would he be looking at playing 3rd in the depth chart in Washington? [i][b]Third, Walker has never shown one bit of laziness -- in fact quite the opposite. He has worked hard to become an elite receiver and has worked ******* recovering from last season's injury. He has never dogged it in practice, in a game or in the offseason. But I return to saying, I think he has stepped across the line with his childish tantrum and deserved exactly the response that Thompson gave him -- which I praised T.T. for doing.[/b][/i] Walker had an awesome season in 2004. However, following that season he did not "work hard to become an elite receiver", as you incorrectly stated above. He failed to report to minicamp, and threatened to hold out from all team activities (including training camp) unless he was granted a reworked contract. Only after facing being benched for the season sans pay, did he finally decide to show up for camp. [i][b]Brett should have stayed the Hell out of it last season, and management should have spoken up and told him so. It embarrassed and left Walker feeling betrayed. I am not railing on Favre -- I stuck up for him last season when he did it, but in retrospect it was a huge mistake.[/b][/i] Brett had every right to say what he did. Walker was three years into his contract, and to that end only had ONE YEAR worthy of asking more money. You can post all the stats you want... A 391 yrd season and a 716 yrd season do not make you a superstar, however they do go towards making more money when your current contract expires. There is no doubt in my mind that TT and the Packers organization would have opened the purse strings once Walker's current contract expired, especially considering the improvement year over year.
