Title: Packers In-season Report
Post by StegRock on Sep 12^th, 2006, 12:18am

K-Rob lands in Green Bay... according to "The REAL Feed":

Koren Robinson lands with Pack (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2583583&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (11.09.2006 19:09)
Koren Robinson wasted his second chance with the Minnesota Vikings. The Green Bay Packers are giving him a third, however.

But, how long will they have him? Isn't a YEAR-long suspension in the works? How "temporary" of a "fix" is this? Can anybody say, "Desperate!"? Ultimate question,... WHY?

The last game it was Noah Herron that emerged as the Packers go to guy. Morency started the last game, but QUICKLY fell out of favor. So, you may want to go with Herron over Morency....

[smiley=yes.gif] Morency fumbled 3 times and is now behind Herron. I wouldn't worry about Green unless you are super desperate.

Well, that didn't last long... From "The REAL Feed":

NFL notes: Packers backup QB Rodgers out for season; Favre hurting (http://www.startribune.com/503/story/825533.html)
StarTribune: Sports (20.11.2006 23:51)
The Green Bay Packers lost a quarterback for the season on Monday. It wasn't Brett Favre.

Backup Aaron Rodgers said he didn't know how he broke his left foot in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to New England and thought he was just feeling sorry for himself because of his poor play.

No surprise. ;D

I think he's something like 2 games away from Elway's record for games won and 7 TDs away from Marino's TD record. (That's just from memory, but you get the point.....)

Edit: OK, I read the article, and I was off by a bit. But the point is still made.
