Rob Davis retires

[Greg C.]

This was expected, but it's still sad to see him go. He was our last link to the Super Bowl years, and a locker room leader. The good news: He will work for the team as Director of Player Development.

And most importantly, he was the only Packer older than me. :shock:

I'm glad he is staying on as a Packer even if it isn't on the field.

 

[tromadz]

the important question is, did he fill out the appropriate paperwork yet?

:lol:

I think he wouldn't have retired if TT would have shown him more love this off season.

 

[favre2driver]

He was the long snapper wasn't he?

 

[Tiger]

yep

 

[trippster]

Damn that TT. He never wanted Rob here. Made no attempts to get him a good holder, kicker, punter. All he did was bring in rookies even when Morten Andersen was available as was Jan Stenarud!

We're doomed!! Damn that TT...... EOTY!!!
















end sarcasm..

I got fed up of the continual "will Rob Davis retire this season" threads.

It's done now.

Let's move on .

there are plenty of other long snappers out there!!!!

 

[flep]

Thanks for the long service Rob!!!

 

[DGB454]

I wonder if they will retire his #.

 

[trippster]

they need to remember his number first....

 

[Greg C.]

Just curious: In his 11 years with the team, does anyone remember Rob Davis making a bad snap that led to a missed field goal or blocked punt? I can't think of any, unless you count the two that got blown off course in that gale in Chicago last December, and I'm giving him a pass on those because of the very unusual conditions. This guy was amazingly reliable.
