85-1250-10Typical #1 GB WR numbers
That's not and never has been their policy.
Or just rewarding those that do not whine and complain in the media about things.THe Holmgren thing is irrelevant given the current admin was not there. Harlan was...but he is not making the Walker and Driver decisions.
There have probably been about 9 zillion Walker threads in this forum in the last year and quite probably each of them contains the legitimate facts about that situation. You'd be better off educating yourself about the realities as opposed to spreading misinformation which serves to undermine any point you may be attempting to make.Yeah right. Tell that to Walker and McKenzie.
Please. What else do I need to know other than the fact that Walker's two options were reporting under his existing deal or not reporting and being fined heavily, and that the Packer's [and their rah rah supporter Favre's] position was "a contract is a contract, he should be here."There have probably been about 9 zillion Walker threads in this forum in the last year and quite probably each of them contains the legitimate facts about that situation.

This has nothing to do with you personally, yet every exchange you get into with anyone even marginally questioning the Packers turns into some retort on a personal level. I couldn't care less if you disagree with my impression of what went on with Walker. Free world. Enjoy your 9 zillion post education and have a GREAT day! 
If people wish to criticize the Packers, I have no problems with that when the criticisms are justified and grounded in factual information. Given how you've read "every exchange" I've had with people about the Packers I guess you've missed the numerous times I've criticized them as well. Oh well, no reason to let the facts get in the way of a good generalization even if it has no connection to reality whatsoever. 
franchise. It's useless to tell them how sorry of a job Thompson as well as Harlan has done (on par with Millen's). :whoosh: 
Thompson's only been in GB a little over 1 year ....how can you compare him to Millen? I'm guessing 99.999% of Detroit fans would take Thompson over Millen in a heartbeat.Big Jim:
These hicks in WI know no better than simply being apologists for Favre and their "Fan-owned"
I mean, these are the same folks who have deluded themselves into actually thinking that Harlan and the board aren't pocketing at least 80% of the actual profits.
Only in a place like WI can one get away with a "non-profit" NFL franchise.
What puzzles you?Career high catches? Check.

I had no idea the Packers were so decisively against redoing contracts which had more than 1 year left on the current contract, however on a rare occasion they would make an exception.What puzzles you?Career high catches? Check.
Career high yards? Check.
Career high TD's. No.
It's things like this that make a person look like much more of a complete idiot that I am sure even Iron intended here.You may want to do some research on the "non-profit" Green Bay Packers, as the money they make does in fact go into a reserve fund which they use to sign free agents, and upgrade the stadium, concessions, parking lot, etc. If the Packers were ever to get moved or sold to an owner or group, all of the money would then go to making a War Memorial for the Veteran's Association located in Green Bay. If you could imagine, that would be one hell of a memorial.Big Jim:

Don't waste your breath Pipes, any knowledgable fan would get giggle out of Iron's Packer viewpoints, he's done it before. A little comic relief is a good thing. BTW, I'm being paid out of the slush fund Harlan has for people who defend the Packers on message boards, just ask Iron, he knows ALL about the Packer finances!Thompson's only been in GB a little over 1 year ....how can you compare him to Millen?

This has got to be one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read! Please show me your information showing that Harlan and the board are pocketing 80% of the profits. Us hicks here in WI would like to be enlightened.Big Jim:

I think they will do so when not having their hand forced. Pretty much how most teams do things as well.Much of the time teams will try to extend with a year remaining. Sometimes when a player has been the model guy, class act, done everything right on and off the field (and is the only proven WR threat they have does not hurt either), they reward him.

That's not his style though. He doesn't care about facts.
Can we wait until Favre has ever done this when not asked...or when a player has not taken a contract issue to the media?Can we wait until Brett Favre publically comments on this contract extension before jumping to conclusions?Well-deserved contract extension for a great team player.

No. I have never criticized Favre for expressing his opinion when somebody in the media puts a microphone in his face and asks him a question.Are you trying to say that Favre likes to comment on contracts?Can we wait until Favre has ever done this when not asked...or when a player has not taken a contract issue to the media?Can we wait until Brett Favre publically comments on this contract extension before jumping to conclusions?Well-deserved contract extension for a great team player.
Yeah, because the 9 zillion threads where Packer fans made up excuses for the Packers, demonizing Walker, are filled with so many "facts." You know as well as I do the Packers said very little publically aside from "no comment" on the impasse with Walker. Perhaps you went to a shareholder meeting to gather your facts? Should have paid attention to the SEC disclaimer on forward looking statements. Fact is, your favorite team allowed its relationship with a 24 year old 1st round talent to disintegrate, only to pull the sour grapes double standard and extend the contract of a 31 year old who's likely seen his best days. But you're right, who cares about facts. "Facts"=Assumptions Packer fans want to believe.
Well said. On the one hand, it is curious that Thompson would break from a standing team rule about not extending contracts before the final year of the deal. This policy has been in place for some time and it's one Thompson believes in. And by agreeing to re-do Driver's contract before the final year of his deal it does open the door for people to question why he's doing so now but refused to do so with Walker (obviously Mike McKenzie has nothing to do with this situation since Thompson was in Seattle at the time).Or maybe it's just that they reward players who have a history and are proven?
Seriously? I may have exagerrated a tad with the number of Walker threads
but honestly there have been a rather large number of them. Surely you've seen them or at least some of them. In many of them there have been posts by myself and people such as Faede, Pony Boy and Ditkaless Wonders who have laid out some clear and concise facts about the situation; what unfolded and more importantly, why.
