Wasn't Kurt Warner an Arena League player?

Yeah, and so was Rashied Davis and a dozen or more other mostly forgettable AFL players who've appeared on NFL rosters. So what's your point?

I 'get' if i say "Blue}- you try and say 'green" right away.. but seriously,, the thread was making fun of a rival team that instead of signing real talent in Free agency, went out and got a fricken arena football player as their only signing, for completely failing so far in free agency.

if the bears had done nothing in F/a this year except a Arena football player you would be up in arms crying about not signing any real players, that was the point

contrary to what you believe, I am not disagreeing with you just to disagree with you. I never said it was a good signing, or a bad signing. Its a wait and see situation. Make fun of them all you want for signing an Arena League player, that still will not prove anything. He could wind up being a real nice player in the NFL, or he could wind up being an immense bust. Point being, you do not know. Hell, he could wind up burning us for a few touchdowns when we play the pack.

Id be upset if the tables were turned, yes. But I will not make fun of a team for taking a chance on someone who has shown that they have talent.

Sad but true 54. If that was the case there'd be so much wailing and cursing around here that it would be hard to get anything else but how soon to get rid of Lovie and JA discussed. That's the real point for those of you who don't get it.!

The Packers have two of the better WR in the league so signing an AFL wideout doesn't seem to be high on the list of priorities for them compared to other areas of need. So it's worth a chuckle at the expense of a rival. Or at least it is for those of us with a sense of humor.

What's sadder yet is that some of you defend the move far more than you ever would if it were the Bears that did it and the national media will give them a total pass because they're the Packers, small town darlings of the NFL, where if it were the Bears it would be 10 days of scorn and ridicule.

Sometimes this place amazes me with both it's lack of loyalty and it's lack of humor. It's ridiculous.

and yet benj if he signed with the bears and posters said it was a good signing you and others would call them delusional homers , that defend anything the bears do-for defending the signing and we need to get real players..

yet when the table is turned you defend it for another team, but not when the team you root for does it? Strange

Exactly soul.. and that was my POINT.. its not so much the arena player as ITS THEIR ONLY SIGNING, which if the tables turned be def-con 10 here about how our management sucks for only getting an arena player..and an arena player at a poistion they don't need someone.

isn't the "idea" of a rival board to take jabs when your rival doesn't make moves?.. geez

I know if the tables were reversed and packers had signed peppers/taylor and all bears did was sign an arean player there should we be alot of jabbing about it
