    way to ignore the point of my post. common tactic of someone who has lost the argument.

    ill say it again: Im not sure how even the most ardent of TT fans can honestly say he has put enough resources into making the ILB and TE positions above average. They don't need to be great, just above average.

    If you were someone actually interested in debating, I'd put in some effort. But your modus operandi is more than clear.

    You cherry pick replies, you don't respond to people challenging you, and you don't contribute in any way here outside of your own one note threads.

    which challenge did I not reply to? I'll do it now, maybe I missed it.

    Whatever, I'll try:

    "Effort" (because it sure feels good to be 'trying' harder) could be better. Though if you look at it with some perspective you'll see why they did what they did. COMING INTO this season with Matthews and Barrington in the middle it seemed like there was finally some stability at the ILB position.

    Same with TE - theoretically Rodgers should improve and Quarless was solid. So with a 3rd rounder invested and a vet returning you'd get production in line with most teams that don't have a Gronk or another freak-ish LB at the position.

    Can he do more THIS season? Absolutely? But they've dumped players into those positions and occasionally you have to trust your players and coaches to step up.

    Barrington? A midget taken in the 7th round? That's who you are relying on?

    I think Rodgers can be a Bubba Franks type at TE but thats about it. That was evident his rookie season. Or did Ted think somehow he'd get faster? Quarless caught 29 passes in 2014, not even 2 a game. Not someone you want to hang your hat on, especially since he's a veteran and has maxed out.

    Is a "midget" from the 5th round of another team's draft, who was waived 3 times and spent a few seasons on the PS a more aggressive, more certain approach to get a linebacker to rely on?

    Sam Barrington - 6'1", 246 lbs., 7th round 2013
    Brandon Marshall- 6'1", 250 lbs, 5th round 2012 by Jacksonville, waived 3 times by Jacksonville, spent time on PS of both Jacksoonville and Denver.

    So why is it so wrong for the Packers, yet smart for Denver to use similar size linebackers with very modest starts to the NFL?
