You hear that argument made here from time time and it's not one I understand. What, we can't criticize players on different teams because a few people play Madden too much and think we should sign every free agent?

And if you are arguing that the talent level of the mid-90's Packers constituted a "whole lot of nothing," then you are in need of a serious history lesson my friend. That was one of the most talented teams of all time. Notice how much playoff success Favre had with less talented teams, after losing that second Superbowl. Not much.
