nodnarb Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 runs a 4.3, was considered a rising star last year. Had a bad game vs the Eagles, but that entire defense is horrid. Smells like a finger-pointing cut to me. I don't think he'll make it very far down the waiver wire. Packers | Carroll cut Tue, 3 Oct 2006 14:24:52 -0700 The Green Bay Packers announced they have released CB Ahmad Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Little Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 LOL. The general managing genius of one Mike Sherman, I believe. Or maybe that was a Ted Thompson move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Batman Carroll back to the bat cave. I've seen Carroll play quite a bit he gets cut up more then swiss cheese. He'll catch on somewhere cause of his speed, but he's not a good corner and never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPearl2 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 He's awful. I've watched a lot of Packer games over the past 2 years and he is always getting burned or involved in a pass interference penalty. I was surprised he was starting last night after watching him get toasted the past 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems to be lost on the field. Someone will take a chance on him as a nickle back sooner than later I think. He's got all the physical ability and is very young; he just doesn't seem to know how to play at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The guy they wanted at that pick was JP Losman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I"d say picking him up would be a good move for just about any team. After this he'll come fairly cheap, and if a team is willing to give him some time and coach him, he could be a steal. If not, well, IMO it would be worth a shot. Sign him to a one year deal and if there is no progress, then all that's lost is a bit of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was ever considered a "rising star". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyMark Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've heard of him lets sign. 794441[/snapback] Actually, in the spirit of the negative nancies of this board who whine when we win, I believe the consensus would be to trade JP to Green Bay for an "conditional pick" THEN pick this CB up off waivers. Somehow we gotta dump JP...right everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Only HE will be doing the stealing when he gets signed by some desperate team. 794498[/snapback] Yes, because since he didn't live up to his 1st round billing on his first team (which has been declining for years), he is obviously worthless and will never be any good for any team at any position on the depth chart.

JoeF Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Last night's game was a microcosm of his career....just about every big passing play in the 2nd half for the Eagles was against him. He just can't cover--his straight line speed might be good but his turn and read/recognition are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow we gotta dump JP...right everyone? 794485[/snapback] I am a long time lossman critic. I'd gladly eat crow if the bills go on and have a winning season, but the year is far from over. JP has made progress, and hopefully will turn out as ole whitey thought. I'd hate to use another high pick on a qb when we have many needs to address. All i'm saying is it ain't over yet.

Or maybe that was a Ted Thompson move. 794385[/snapback] That was Sherman's last draft as GM. And Carroll joins fellow first-day picks Joey Thomas, Donnell Washington, and B.J.

GM, abso-friggin-lutely not. Remember when we asked the Packers fans to comment on Sherman?
