Couch Cut

Signing Tim Couch then cutting him may be a sign that Mike Sherman isn't up to the job of general manager. We know he can coach, but the question remains if he can evaluate talent.

Couch never looked good in a Packers uniform. During games he looked indecisive which led to sacks. When he did throw there wasn't the strength he had in Cleveland. Mike Sherman and offensive coordinator Tom Rossley think Couch came into camp with a sore arm. Why didn't they give him a physical before giving him a $625,000 signing bonus? While wasting all that time talking with him as being the possible successor to Brett Favre, the Packers passed up on other opportunites. Favre won't be around forever. Heck, this may be his last season. Just saying, "Hopefully, we can keep Brett around" won't lead to continued success.
