Apparently the on-roster replacements weren't enough - Jahri Evans signing

Hell I guess its your grading scale. Lol If you can't see the difference that's on you. We agree in that Evans isn't Lang. But Evans is better than what we had. So TT did what YOU asked by bringing in veteran talent. Now you don't give credit? That's on you.

we had lang but let him go. if you agree that evans isn't as good as lang then you must agree we're worse at that position. i'd have given tt credit had he resigned lang.

We most certainly DID NOT have lang. He was a FA. Unrestricted no less. He got paid like a tackle. Glad for him. Glad TT isn't the guy who did pay him.

all tt had to do to keep lang was pay him. cap wasn't an issue. we're talking about whether free agency has improved the Packers this season. has it? well obviously no. an upgrade at one position doesn't make it so.

So when you compare an injured TE who can't block to Bennet and you compare Lang to Evans you don't call that a net win?

cook vs bennett: upgrade with bennett. lang vs evans: downgrade with evans (evidently the Packers coaches were very upset about the lang loss)

You don't pay top dollar to the least important position on the offensive line. TT has a clear record of that, do we need to list them? Let me rephrase that. GOOD teams don't pay top dollar to Guards. That's why the Lions did....

but are we better on the field for tt's thrift? we're simply not. THIS Packers team needs upgrades to go to the superbowl.

But not all upgrades come from free agency. Upgrades also come from players getting healthy, players improving, the draft, better schemes etc.

I think the improvement at the TE position (Don't forget Kendricks) will at least offset the losses on the offensive line.

i think guys improving on their own will be offset by guys not improving, and the guys who improved the year before, or the guys we lost

if things worked the way you say, then every team would get better every single year. and that just simply isn't the case

and like i've said before. i think bennett is a slight upgrade over cook, and kendricks might be a slight upgrade from dick rod. not a huge upgrade. plus both are only on one year deals, much like all our FA signings, which i can't get out of my head

true but that's what we were discussing. not the draft or the cap. just talent lost and talent picked up.
