The Packers haven't had a losing season in over 10 years, but still get ripped left and right by a few reporters. One of the reporters is much more criticle than Gambo is. To him if you don't win the Super Bowl the season is a failure. As long as it's objective reporting I'm OK with it. I don't want all fluff pieces. I want to know who was responsible for giving up the 50 yard run. I want to know who blew the assignment, the corner or the safety when they get toasted for an 80 yard TD pass. I want to know why Green Bay always seems to draft the bad player in the first round instead of a good one. Sometimes it hurts to know the truth, but I want the truth instead of a bunch of fluff pieces as long as it's objective.

as a hopeful yet usually disappointed fan...


... I'll do what i always do - wait for the season. College studs are often pro busts, you never know what aging vets have left, you never know how the young guys will have progressed since last year, you don't know how all the FA signings will fit in... that's just the tip of the berg...

The take or article sounds like this guy should be a reporter in the group that reports at Centcomp each day and ask General Brooks those insightful questions.

Here is why I have a Problem with this Commentary


I have never given creedance to an article from a reporter who has no connection with what he is writing about. It is impossible for me to recognize any commentary coming out of the valley as worth the paper it is printed on because the media there is a total joke!!!

They have not penetrated the safety net that the Cards have put up since they have moved there. It is always impossible to get quick,accurate information whenever news breaks on this team. Rarely, have I read or heard of an inside track on what the Cards may or may not do. When I do hear of such a rumor it is either way off or from a national media source.

I don't know this Gambo or whatever his name is and quite frankly I have never read one of his columns and given the points that he has attempted to make in this one I do not think I will be reading a column of his again. I mean he is way off on Jeff Blake. Blake is an above avg. QB who has been on alot of rotten teams. No one really knows what he can do with quality players around him. I do know this, we will not see stupid Int.'s like we have watched the last few years and Jeff will make the effort to keep the drive alive.

That being said this Gambo character is also way off on Emmitt. Although I was not a fan of signing Smith because I think Shipp is the guy, this signing is not going to hurt Marcel in the slightest. Tugboat will learn from the best and when Emmitt is done Marcel will step right in with proper preparation and more than adequate training. The only thing that Gambo got right was the fact that the Cards haven't solved their problems at WR and DL , but any bandwagon fan can figure that one out. So I wouldn't pay much attention to this Guy!
