Default Why keep Carroll?

Ahmad Carroll is a first-round draft pick, a second-team cornerback and a third-year disappointment.

He was a 20-year-old project when the Green Bay Packers selected him as the 28th overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft. He has evolved into a 23-year-old quandary that begs the question: Is he more help or hindrance?

The Packers have been patient with him. They have cajoled, mollycoddled, pleaded, prodded and pushed.

Carroll has responded by holding, kicking, screaming, elbowing and fighting — and that's just with his coaches and teammates. He has taunted the opposing bench, held receivers when he should have known better and been caught on camera elbowing an opponent in the groin beneath the pile.

At times, he acts more like a prison movie extra than an NFL defensive back.

You already have heard how much I hate Carroll, and what an overdrafted disgrace to the team he is. I couldn't tell you why we have kept him.

I said that myself. I do really fear the possibility of Wood getting hurt and Carroll having to play again though. As I've also said, I know of two AFL CBs that we could sign and might actually be pretty good. We just need to do whatever it takes to cut this guy, and every other Sherman pick not named Rodgers...

do you guys think that maybe the Packers signing Woodson could light a fire under Carroll? Sort of like what the Ravens did bringing in McNair
