[QUOTE="PackerDNA, post: 632106, member: 9965"] Mondio, you make a lot of good points, and I agree with your basic premise/point. It's just that sometimes I get the impression that you cherry pick too much to make them. For example, in your post above, you use injuries- specifically Jarius Bird- as an argument against free agency (if I read that right). If a guy has a long history of missing time with injuries- Bulaga, anyone?- it's a consideration. But you don't reject the guy out of hand because he might get hurt the season you sign him. That could happen to anyone; there's no way to know. I 'll use Joe Johnson as an example. At the time, a lot of people thought the Packers biggest 'get over the hump' need was DE. Johnson had been hurt in the past, but if I recall correctly was coming off a healthy all-pro season. Many considered him to be the best all around DE in the game at the time. He ended up playing 2 or 3 games for the Packers, in which he did nothing, got hurt, and didn't play again. Sherman was- and at times still is- crucified for the signing. But how was he, or anyone else at the time, to know that Johnson was already done when he signed? You do your due dilligence and roll the dice. Sometimes I get the impression TT is too reluctant to do so. [/QUOTE]
