[...] has the right attitude, but most players take the opportunity to join a new team (see Chastin West) when they’re claimed off the practice squad, so his decision is somewhat surprising. If [...]

I dont think this kid is even good enough to be in the league… in college he barely did anything.. if chastin made the actuall team then seyi ajiratutu should definetly be playing. If this kid even thinks about seeing time on the field he is dreaming way to much. Best bet was to not sign this kid because some else is injured because chastin doesnt have speed, remeber his 4.6 to 4.7 40yard dash???

We use all 5 of our TEs. West would have been inactive for all 5 games.

Sharper is old and has a bum knee. And he wasn’t that great with the Packers while he was here.

If Peprah or Burnett get hurt, then we might give Sharper a call. Otherwise, get real.

I am tired of people inaccurately referring to the Eagles game as the key in making the playoffs last year. If the Giants won, they would have won the division. The Packers win the tie-breaker against Philly because we beat them. So, at the time, we actually wanted the Giants to win. This all seems to have been forgotten thanks some predictable idiots in the media.

FAIL, that’s all I have to say. it would have been smart to keep west over some of the garbage we did keep…oh wait, we need 100 tight ends…lame. I don’t know that West can do much in Jax, but he would have been a nice piece in this offense when Driver is gone. TT…between this and not getting some insurance in the form of Sharper is double-fail. TT came out looking real good last year, even though it took an Eagles miracle comeback against the Giants to get us in the playoffs…if that wouldn’t have happen, TT would have gotten crucified for not getting a RB when we needed one for 10 games.

Xavier:
Oh don’t get me wrong…TT can do wrong; but in this case he kept the best receivers (jury – again – still out on Jones) and got West and Gurley to stick around as insurance…now West is gone/Gurley remains….about Driver; maybe only one more year (don’t bet against DD) but TT is pretty good at finding new WR’s in the draft is he not : ) I – for one – am stoked on this season and I am still thinking “repeat” even without West hanging around (losing Collins on the other hand….that makes me a little nervous….)

By this time next year West will be stocking shelves at his local Home Depot.

Chastin West showed some promise, but he was clearly not as good as any of our 5 WRs.

James Jones has made about 20 big plays in this league. West has made zero.

The Packers need another WR like I need another loan. West will disappear in Jacksonville and never be heard from again. Bet on it.

Receivers like these are like RBs…dime a dozen these days. Look at all of the ‘come from nowhere’ guys out there making plays in Oakland, Buffalo, etc. We did not need him and he was good enough to play as a top 3 wideout elsewhere. Best of luck to C. West. WE NEED D. SHARPER!!!
