I'm have the feeling that using FA this year was in the cards before we signed Rodgers and Matthews deals last year. Setting up the amount of space we have seems to be intentional.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Man, I hope you are right. Just because our needs are too great to be filled with one draft, and the hopes that players returning from injury will pick up where they left off (Hayward, Bulaga) and/or show real development (Perry, Worthy, Sherrod, Barrington).

Hopefully he will pull the trigger - for a Safety anyway.

I also disagree that we are not in those dire straits at so many positions. Safety for sure, ILB almost as sure, OLB probably, but that's about it. The D-line is fine; The O-Line is what it is - giving what we have one more year to upgrade in house probably is best.

I don't hate him so much as I'm conflicted about him. I always favored "draft and develop" over "go hog wild in free agency". However, he has kinda been a little bit too much of a good thing that way. And of course, we do have such a super winning record over his whole tenure. On the other hand, most of that is due to Aaron Rodgers, and things could be so much better if Thompson had done a better job.

He's a lot like George W. Bush - kept the country safe from terrorism after 9/11 and on top in the world, and everybody free and prosperous - on the other hand, there were (inexplicable) complaints that things should have been better. Hopefully, when Thompson's successor comes along, we won't find out how much worse it can be - same as after Bush. hahahahahahahaha I'm sure you agree with every word of that, Dakota.
