How about we give our rookie and 2nd year skill guys a chance to improve. We give our first year starter at QB a shot to see things a little faster. And maybe a year to fix an OL that has been broken due to injuries. We could use a new bookend LT and a new center. That alone will go a long way to turn our 2 win team into a 4 win team at this point. SF blew chunks before turning it around. They aquired Trent Williams and drafted top 5 a couple times and are now the class of the NFC. If we finish with the 6 or 7 wins that Rodgers got his rookie season then I'll see light. Remember how frustrated we were at all the 6 yard outs on 3rd and 9 during Rodgers first year starting?? I do.
They just look like total ass right now. They looked okay with the previous guy, an all-timer. They look like ass presently. I have posted before that Gooter kinda sucks as a drafter. He has done really well in the first round but he rarely gets 2-3 starters in a draft. Last year does look great though. The other years, kinda blah.

I'll just ask, and its rhetorical. How would you like to be the team with a GM that traded a mountain of picks for Russell Wilson. Traded a couple premium picks for a 40 year old who blew his achilles in 4 snaps? How about the team that traded a 1st and 2nd for a great WR that needed to be paid like an UFA and then have a losing season?
We are going through a process. Losing sucks, I get it. But this hair on fire, burn them all at the stakes is pretty crazy even for an internet crowd....Barry can burn though. Thats reasonable.
I have no problem with them rebuilding. But are they actually rebuilding effectively? Or are they on a path to perpetually suck while Gooter is there? I'm not so sure it's not the latter, although his R1 pick quality suggests if they keep doing that and resigning their guys they will at least be decent but never deep.
