[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 643482, member: 7277"] Not sure I fully agree with your assessment of a hypothetical Thomas trade (for instance I wouldn't trade Sitton, who has been a rock of consistency on our line, in any trade for Thomas, despite the position difference), but I think your general premise is spot on. I know it seems like forever again, but it wasn't long ago that very few of us were concerned about the line coming into this season and most of us were thrilled to have Bulaga back at the price we paid. As inconsistent as the line has been, we've also seen numerous instances this year of a clean 8-10 second pocket where Rodgers was either unwilling or unable to make a throw because of receiver separation. All the All Pro linemen in the world won't fix that problem. As easy as it is to overreact based on how much we saw Rodgers on his back in Arizona, it's not wise to do so. We simply can't afford to put a premium on every position like we want to. It would be nice to have a top $14-$15M a year left tackle to protect Rodgers' blind side. It would be nice to have a top 3 TE to stretch the field. It would be nice to have another 8 figure a year corner to pair with Shields, and it would be nice to have some elite edge rushers like Watt and Miller especially with Matthews playing inside. Unfortunately, we work with the same salary cap as every other team, so like every other team, we have to trust young guys or average players at some positions. We got the most important position covered, and we do the best we can from there. [/QUOTE]
