    36.1 is "nearly twice as many" as 22.9? 36 is "nearly" 46? I don't think that is a very accurate conclusion from the survey.

    You don't have to be "pretty dam patient" to not be concerned over the status of the roster in mid to late March. All you have to be is realistic. Let's see what happens before TC and how the young players and rookies contribute before we condemn TT.

    I'm not sure the safety position is the weakness many of you think it is. There might be more than we think behind what we blame Manual for. TT might feel very good about Underwood, Culver, Bigby and/or Peprah, thinking one will step into a bigger role next year.

    It's not outrageous to think the draft will supply a starter or frequent player at one or two positions, maybe even more.

    We really don't know what deals TT might be working on. Maybe there is nothing, but if there is, he certainly wouldn't mention it. There may be some decent players available this summer. Almost unbelievably, some teams have already pushed their increased caps to the breaking point and may have to release a player when the rookie pools are assigned.

    By mid-October we may understand what has happened in March a lot better. Or....we might be heating the tar, gathering feathers and selecting a suitable pole!

    March has made me curious, but certainly has not made me angry or disappointed.

        TT gets judged on whether he wins a Super Bowl; until then we just voice our opinions, as patient or impatient as they may seem.

            I'm a big picture kind of guy; early on in Math my grade school teachers taught me the concept that if greater than .5 you round up so that was stemmed my nearly twice as many comment .

            If we want exacts, then for every fan that things TT is doing a good job, there are 1.577 fans that think he is not. Nearly 60% on the no side (if you will let me round up

            Relying on Underwood after a torn ACL is not smart; maybe Manuel is much better than everybody thinks. But honestly, he was never that good. And Bigby and Peprah ? Bonuses if they work out; they are just as likely to get the same fate as Atlas Herion with Green Bay than become solid starters. Hey, isn't Herion playing somewhere ?

            Maybe TT is working the way he is with the faith that he is bringing Moss and Turner in; who knows what he's thinking.

            By me he'll be judged on whether he brings a Super Bowl to Green Bay; right now it does not appear he has helped GB or his Hall of Fame QB try to reach that goal in the next couple years. Maybe the window has closed and we are planning for the more distant future.

            Time will tell.

                I'm pretty sure Herion has already used up his college eligibility.
