HaHa was at worst an average safety in the league last year, the Davante thing was at least somewhat warranted. Yeah, but Davante had the injury thing, just like Damarious. I feel like Packer fans think one bad year means you're done in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joke about this but I swear some fan want to give these guys spankings for letting them down, and they do that by making them go to other teams. Apparently for their "disappointments." Everyone else's trash is better than ours. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetana34 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'm so glad fans have no say in personnel. Trade Haha? How dumb. The guy is a year removed from all -pro honors. Some want him flipped for a 3rd rate pass rusher and start Brice? Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, fans aren't always rational, but it's not hard to understand why they sometimes get upset when multi-millionaire athletes get injured and miss work for up to a full year - while still getting paid! That's not a reality that most fans experience in their own lives - most folks - blue and white collar - may get some time off for an injury or illness, but are right back to the daily grind of their jobs well before they're completely healed. To add insult to injury, some of us 'average joes' even have to pay for our own insurance and time off due to injury and down-time, thereby speeding up our return to work well before we're completely healed. Lets put it this way, I see both sides of this - the athletes and their respective organizations, as well as the ire they receive from some fans who flat out are disgusted by the rash of injuries plaguing certain players and the team in general - all while continuing to get paid huge salaries. Who pays these guys? In large part, the fans, so I understand their disappointment. All that being said, it's just not realistic to write off a player because they've either had one bad season - whether it be on the field in action, or on the sidelines due to injury. It's just a reality that fans have to accept, or get over if they're bitter about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfman Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 2 hours ago, TheBitzMan said: um how about no. You really want to roll with Jones/Brice at Safety? Evans, and Whitehead, not to mention Reid could be grabbed off the free agent market for a song. I'd only sign that guy on a 1-year deal under the premise he stands for the National Anthem and is not a distraction. I'd put it in his contract. Ha Ha is on a one-year deal and admittedly, I have an anti-Ha Ha bias. I just don't like the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of effort was completely unprofessional. That shows a flaw in character IMO. I'll root for him as long as he's wearing a Packer uniform, but I see this going the way of Eddy Lacy. I'm guessing the outrage when we let him walk was similar to the outrage at the other site I used to post at. Oh, and Ha Ha has ****ty hands to boot.
