This isn't exactly Bert v Aaron.

This is churning on the bottom of the roster. These guys at the bottom aren't all THAT good. Sometimes it comes down to who has more potential next year. Sometimes it comes down to who fits what they want them to do better. Sometimes there's off-field bullshit about which we know nothing.

Get over it, man.

Eventually, this "bottom feeder" at the bottom of the roster that was churning became a stud for our DL. I don't think he ever got his true due in Green Bay. We were clearly not as good without Cullen and haven't been since his departure.

Sam Shields and Tramon Williams weren't top of the mind guys when they got here. Had either one of them been cut like Rolle you'd have said the exact same thing about them as you're saying now about what happened with Rolle. Joe Whitt likened Jumal Rolle to Sam Shields yet he was cut in favor in Goodson. I have NEVER heard Goodson likened to Sam Shields or anyone of any renown.

Am I saying Rolle is a Tramon or Sammy? No. Who knows, though? I was a huge Shields guy from the get go but can honestly say I don't even remember Williams when he first came to us.

Kurt Warner was in our camp ... he was nothing but a camp body...guy goes on to have a HOF career and won as many rings as Brett or Aaron.

A mistake is a mistake whether it's at the bottom or top of your roster. Don't minimize what potentially happened here... it's TBD as for now but it looks more in Rolle's favor right now.

So you prefer a GM to gamble with high priced free agency, but he shouldn't gamble at all when it comes to the 6th cornerback slot on the roster. Do I have that right?

It will never come.

Goodson is a raw talent that needs seasoning

In his mind he thinks he will be ready this year.

Again why is it so bad for a player to set high goals?

If He doesn't achieve the goals he has set for himself this year, then that will only make him more determined next year.

On the other hand if he surprises everyone by winning the starting spot, that's a WIN win for a The Packers!

What looked in Tramon Williams favor when he got here? Didn't play in 2006... no stats at all. Had 1 pick 4 pass defended and 16 tackles. Wow, what a house afire in his first couple of years with the Packers.

Rolle had 3 picks last year. I know Barfarn isn't a fan of that. I merely post for comparison sake. Did any of you think Tramon Williams was going to be what he was in Year 1 or Year 2? A multimillion dollar long term starter for us?

If Goodson sucks, and Rolle blossoms of course it's a major miss. I said it was TBD. Early returns are Rolle is better. Doesn't mean it will end that day.

Like I said, "as of now" losing Rolle is no more of a miss than losing Josh Gordy or Brendian Ross. It's a miss if Rolle ends up being a good player. If Goodson turns into Revis but Rolle ends up being good too it's still a miss on a good player, Goodson has nothing to do with it. You can bring up Tramon Williams all you want but for every one of him there are 10 that hang out a year or two and end up doing nothing of note and Rolle is more likely at this point one of the 10. I even liked Rolle as an all around kind of CB but I don't think he's got the ceiling that Goodson does as a man cover corner. I see Rolle's absolute ceiling as a Jarrett Bush or Micah Hyde type which isn't a bad player but if you've already got a couple of those it makes sense to favor a different type to develop on the back end of your roster.

Bush is unlikely to be back. I truly hope this is it for him. For such a "wonderful" ST player we sure aren't very good on ST's. Do we keep him around so we aren't even worse because he isn't making us a good unit.

I'm surprised you left out the multiple Packers forum popular Erwin Swiney. Josh Gordy wasn't a bad player. Had tons of speed and athleticism if memory serves out of Rice. Brandian was another intriguing guy.

Goodson should've been cut, too. If he's a UDFA I'll bet he would've been.

He wouldn't have seen the field any more than Goodson did if he stayed in GB so I don't really think that means much. I didn't say Gordy and Ross were bad but they aren't the kind of players you lose sleep over losing as I suspect Rolle will end up being.
