    Tramon is gimpy, Sheilds is hurt and now Burnett's calf is an issue. Now is not the time to talk about trading DBs.

    Exactly. If they or others remain in and out, and the Packers lose a playoff opportunity because of it, McGinn would be the first to scream that TT had a roster with depth at a key position in the pass happy NFL, a roster that was ready for a strong playoff run, and he threw it all away because of his ridiculous obsession to accumulate draft picks.

    He often complains that TT does not pick up veteran guys as backups, so when injuries occur they do not have to rely on inexperienced young players. Now he has experienced backups who are playing well and contributing, so he writes an article implying TT is foolish for not considering trading them.

    McGinn complains about TT regardless. There is no consistency at all in his analysis of the job TT does. TT is wrong not to go out and get experienced reserves, and he is wrong for not considering trading the experienced reserves that he does have.
