Except J'Mon Moore, Brandon Bostick, Micah Hyde, Darren Sharper, Charles Martin, and Randall Woodfield. And *Allegedly* Mark Chmura. Martellus Bennett, Tony Mandarich, Ahmad Carroll, eddie Lacy are names I would add to the list but absolutely can not put them on the same list as Sharper and way worse Woodfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, he ran well enough for OROY. Then skinny Lacy proceeded to run through the competition for several seasons and even played well enough to keep us in the hunt so AR could return from injury and dagger the Bears into the playoffs. He was a joy to watch. His only transgression was that the man liked to eat, let he who is without sin cast the first cheese curd. He even had the decency to gain his weight before we signed him to any high dollar, long term contract. Eddie is a great Packer in my opinion, just couldn’t maintain it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie was one of us, as far as I’m concerned. I wish he could have been more disciplined to extend his prime but he was a great RB while his star (and metabolism) burned bright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persiandud Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 i think the better move all along was trading a 3rd for Marshawn Lynch instead of drafting Lacy in the 2nd. probably win another SB with Lynch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodestar Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Lacy is up there with the most lovable Packers of all time. I can’t take anyone seriously who has any will towards that man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't hate Lacy though. Guy just liked the China food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a HOFer drafted before us and three more in the selections at 3, 4, 5. The Bears offered us their 3 - FRPs to come up to the second slot, they wanted him too. Those three picks all turned out to be pretty good football players. The bright side is, drafting Mandarich was part of the impetus which brought us Ron Wolf a few years later.

Yeah, my read on Lacy was that he was a guy who was talented, but didn't really love football and had a lot of issues with his mental health that stood in the way of being the sort of "all football, all the time" robot which NFL people seem to believe is ideal.
