[QUOTE="TJV, post: 366728, member: 4300"] [FONT=Verdana]This brings back the nightmare that was the 1988 season and the 1989 draft. In Infante’s first year as HC, they went 4-12 and for the last part of the season the press wrote about the "Aikman bowl" – the Packers and a couple of other teams were "competing" for the worst record in the league and the right to draft Aikman. For the first time as a Packers fan I was rooting for them to lose their remaining games, go 2-14 and get their QB of the future. Instead they won their last two games. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]So Aikman was a Cowboy. To make matters worse, four of the five top picks in the 1989 draft became HOF’ers, the exception of course was Mandarich.

If the Packers had selected Aikman or one of the others, no one can tell how that would have affected the future of the team. But it still bothers me.
