Hope he lands somewhere.

It’s interesting how many Packer fans (not all) are so quick to discard those players that helped them win those Lombardi trophies once they leave the team. Instead of praise for past stars like Favre, Sharper, Longwell and now Jennings, they become reviled and thrown under the bus. I”ll bet there’s even so old timers that still hate Vince Lombardi for leaving Green Bay to coach Washington his final year. Nice gratitude.

As far as career years with the vikings, thats fine 2. Another thing they all have in common is when they left the packers they never played in a super bowl with the vikings despite being soooooo good. Favre played in 2 and won one with the packers, longwell played in one with the packers and no one else, sharper played in one with the packers and won one with the saints, and jennings won one with the packers and we’ll see what happens with the vikings. Trust me vikings fans, it feels a lot better watching your team win the superbowl than watching your star player have a career year.

How about zero risk? He’s a below average player that’s constantly hurt. Yeah, the Packers should be shaking in their boots at the thought of losing that commodity.

Favre had his career best year and highest QB rating ever as a Viking. Sharper was a 6 time All-Pro and 4 of them happened AFTER he left GB. And Longwell averaged over 100 points in his six seasons with Minnesota which included his career best season of 132 points. The Vikings will gladly take that kind of production from your latest “rejected scrap” Greg Jennings.

I absolutely love the jealousy Viking fans spew on this website towards the Packers and their fans, especially turds like yourself.

I actually enjoy seeing your team picking up our rejected scraps. It gets your hopes up every off season, just to watch your hopes and dreams get crushed the first time you play us every new year.

Attention Minnesota!

Another available Packer on the market. Scoop him up.

You mad? Thanks for being a developmental league for our players. We all know when they leave the packers they enjoy their best career years with us.

———————————————————-

LOL, Greg Jennings is gonna be as big a gain as Percy Harvin was your loss. Yeah, right. Anyway we’re not mad about you guys scooping up all our Exes while you sit in the Friendzone patiently waiting for when we’re done with them. Just do us a favor when Mr. Old Spice all star shows up in Minny, let me know how our nuts taste.

Draft some outside guy for depth – get Brad/Bishop/DJ back inside.

Clay/Moses/Perry/Rookie/Bishop/Brad/Rob/DJ would provide an athletic linebacker squad – quality depth.

Just observing that the thing that seems to hold the Packers back the most is the training staff….healthy Packers teams seem to be few and far between…not that the injured one don’t have success as well.

Zombo has already embarked on his new career. Check out his new site, zombo.com.

Anything is possible at zombo com!

I would have rather seen Hawk let go before Zombo tho

I have no idea where they will find another undersized defensive end pass rush specialist that went undrafted to convert to a 3-4 OLB. A very scarce commodity indeed.

Zombo has been there long enough to convince me there was little or no upside to keeping him.

The same can be said for Erik Walden. Thanks, Colts! Maybe you can teach that guy to not blow contain with such stunning regularity.

A fresh start for both the Packers and Brad Jones makes a lot of sense to me, too.

The Frisco playoff loss made it obvious a makeover of the Packers LB group was very much in order, IMO.

They also missed Bishop all of last year, he is going to be a big help the LB core
