Now that one couldn't agree more! Firing Capers should of been done 2-3 seasons ago.

I'm sick and tired of this argument. Sam making 10 mil. Top two picks of last draft coming off a good year, now you pay a 4th cb big money who also has an injury history?

Clearly things didn't work this year, but the logic at the time was sound.

I do think the topic question is GREAT! I would say that ILB Danny Trevathan(sp?) not being signed is the biggest offseason mistake.

Letting Casey Hayward go. Discuss.

As for number 2.... I will always believe MM was stripped of those duties or gave them up to save his job after Seattle. Had MM been fired Tom wouldn't have been in that position and someone else would've been calling plays.

I think keeping Peppers this year was a huge mistake. Money should've been allocated elsewhere.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

The biggest offseason mistake of the last 5 years was
releasing Charles Woodson when MD Jennings is starting S...

Especially since Woodson said he was willing and expecting to have to take a pay cut and wanted to finish his career with the Packers.

Letting Cullen Jenkins go in free agency the year after the super bowl win (along with losing Nick Collins but that was through injury and you can't control that). I know he priced himself out of staying but he was the back bone of that front 7 that allowed us to do all those gimmicky defensive looks that Capers has made a career on, turned that 2010 manageable defense into a complete mess that we still haven't recovered from.

Plus take a look at our defense, the way Dom calls it I would consider the top 4 CB all starters. The way we played it this year we needed at least 2 of Randall/Rollins/Gunter to make a big improvement from last season and didn't leave much room to dealing with an injury. Now we got the worse end of it where none of them improved AND we had an injury (though a predictable one) but you play with fire and let good players walk for cheap while relying solely on little proven players you might get burned.

I could see letting Hayward go if he actually got big money but the contract he got is exactly what you are looking for. That's the problem with this team at the moment we have too big a chunk of cash invested in a few players and little in between. I guess you could say we are lacking a good middle-class. So if one or 2 of the top guys get hurt or underperform their contracts that's a huge chunk of the team missing (cap wise). We need less top dollar contracts like Matthews, Peppers, Cobb, Shields and more like Hayward, Perry, Cook. Still good players but if they get hurt or something it doesn't destroy your team and you can dump them without much penalty.

He started talking about he was offering a "hometown discount" and we low balled it but then he took forever to sign a decent deal in FA and didn't seem to have all that much interest. That's a sign of someone who way overvalued themselves. I bet we offered him something similar to what he eventually got before FA even started but he was expecting some blockbuster deal.

Both of them in their first year I thought were pretty impressive we just need to do some catching practice in training camp or something, the amount of potential INTs that were dropped this year could put my 5 year old sister to shame.
