Should the Packers next DC be Jim Leonhard?

[Pugger]

Our next DC will be Dom Capers... he ain't going anywhere.

Our window has passed with Rodgers.

You make it sound like Rodgers is past his prime and ready to retire.

It isn't that Rodgers is past his prime... he's still got some awesome years ahead of him.

The problem is what it would take, and the time it would take, to put a championship caliber team around him. So many of TT's draft picks are pedestrian or worse... Rodgers would really have to play at a super- human level for us to win another championship.

Add to the talent deficiency the fact that Capers is still our DC (the game has clearly passed him by - what is he, 80 years old now??), and we simply don't have a realistic shot at another SB in the foreseeable future - which is probably the rest of Rodgers' career.

If they fired Capers I'd be more optimistic, but it is pretty obvious that Capers isn't going anywhere.
