[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 51927, member: 196"] Randle EL will never play QB in the NFL. Yes he threw a TD pass, so did Bubba Franks. Ahman Green has thrown several and so has Tony Fischer. Big deal. Randle El is an undersized WR with some skills. However, they are skills that pale in comparison to Walker -- who is bigger, faster and has better hands. NO ONE is saying that Thompson should hand the keys to the vault to Walker. He is handling Javon's latest tantrum masterfully -- firm, concise and burning no bridges. And Walker is under contract, he has been examined by Packer's doctors and trainers -- but as per CBA contract Walker can do his rehab with the staff of his desire. He is not sitting on his *** as some have hypothesised, rather he is working his *** off, like he does every off season, hoping to be traded to a team where his talents are appreciated. The point that seem to keep getting lost is that what I wrote was in response to the bogus claims that Walker was a rookie bust, that he had one good season and that he has no reason to be unhappy with his situation... All of that is easily refuted... but as soon as one does, the same posters return to the same BUNK claims, "He is lazy" "He has always had an attitude" He was a rookie bust -- did he return the money" "He had ONE good season" "He is a mediocre receiver at best -- who has never proven anything" If he had not gotten injured last season Thompson would be begging him and his agent to talk extention. But he did get injured -- physically and his pride. Brett Favre was out of line to call him out like that last season. Everyone blames Walker for the media circus, but did it occur to any of us that Brett throwing gasoline on the fire made it so much worse? Walker's pride got hurt and he felt betrayed by a QB he loved and played his heart out for. Did management (Sherman or Thompson) do a single thing to try and ease the situation or to reel it in? Hell no, they sat back gleefully as Brett did their dirty work. The result was a loss of respect for Favre in many quarters around the league -- and a riff on this team. Don't get me wrong, I sided with Favre and defended his actions -- as a fan that was my right, but as a coach and/or a GM that was a huge mistake. If I were either I would have hauled both their ***** into my office and told them that such divisive crap needed to stop ASAP and that I expected more from my team leaders. Now go ahead and rip me with your emotion laden rants, but if you put yourself in those positions (not as a fan) -- in retrospect do you disagree??? [/QUOTE]
