50 aka Rod Gardner

On ESPN Insider they have a mock draft and talk about how Green Bay signed Rod Gardner - "The Packers have done a good job recently of addressing their needs at wide receiver (Rod Gardner)..." http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/insider/columns/story?columnist=mcshay_todd&id=2372493

Since when is signing a player who couldn't make a team on Carolina who was desperately looking for a compliment reciever to Steve Smith a good job?
If he is the 2nd reciever I would be amazed... but this is pretty much another example of how our signings of Lloyd and Randle El are ignored while 50 is considered a "good" pick up.

Now thats a good problem to have. I realy don'e get the Rod Gardner comment. He had a great opportunity in Car opposite Smith because he would draw most of all the attention and he did nothing.

i guess if you need a reciever and go sign a reciever(no matter how talented)youve done something

I remember Gardener playing in Green Bay's last game at the end of the season. He wasn't spectacular, but definitely solid.

I think he might actually catch on there. (no pun intended)

if it was us signing him they would have bashed us and said it wont help our recieing corps!!!!

They signed Boerighter too? Good pickups.

Yeah according to some things I was reading, he had an unexpectedly solid couple of games, especially in light of his not knowing anything about the offense. I guess GB coaches liked what they saw of him...

Yeah, I think he has a 50/50 chance (Big Pun intended) :)
